We hear about the legitimate concerns of white working class communities a lot from the British hard-right, think they’ll care about these horrific and very legitimate concerns? Being a black baby in the UK shouldn’t make you 81% more likely to die in the NHS www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Yes! If a single positive thing comes out of the chaos of politics rn I believe it could be PR

Maybe I'm missing something about the Platner issue, I haven't followed it from the beginning. To me it seems like he got a pretty common symbol tattooed, not realising it's also commonly associated with Nazis, and then covered it when he found out it was. Surely that's OK?

I know it doesn't mean much but watching a royal lose their title just feels soooo good

The Renters' Rights Act becomes law today! england.shelter.org.uk/support_us/c...

The global whaling industry experienced a boom c. 1840-1950 as technology allowed whalers to hunt the Southern Ocean around Antarctica. Under standard models, we would have expected krill populations to have *exploded*. Instead, they DROPPED exponentially. Let's talk about the KRILL PARADOX.

Genuinely I haven't used amazon in years

You may have heard this recently, but I just wanted to remind you: Virgin Media really is shit

oh wow. this finally happened to me. a piece I wrote lifted wholesale by the Daily Mail, lightly rewritten and without any links back to my original piece of writing. most amazingly, a weird use of the word 'pacing' suggests to me that they did it with ChatGPT. archive.ph/LFmzR

It's 2025, if I order a veggie burger and get one of those patties of mashed potato peas and carrots that is a scandal

Saw James Acaster WIP tonight - unbelievable how good he is. Leagues above any other comedian out there rn imo

This is a great account to follow for the most horrifying graphs you've ever seen

GOOD FOR HER *I'm not super convinced about the use of words like 'pure' here but let's ignore that

My boyfriend had a colonoscopy yesterday and they gave him 9 marks out of 9 on his prep and he's never gonna let it go

I kept wondering why all the facial recognition stuff hadn't hit me yet, genuinely took days to remember i don't live in the UK anymore

I'm very happy about the assisted dying bill passing. But now we need to fight harder against ableism + agism and to reaffirm the value, dignity, and rights of older + disabled people to take up space and resources in our society
