Glad Reeves decided to not raise income tax to avoid being labelled a liar about her tax pledge, now to look at how her alternatives are being reported on

I still think it's really funny people mistook Dear Evan Hanson for a gay kid musical and didn't realise it was *that*

Can't help feel that these people obviously do on one level accept that trans women are women because only women get so blatantly disbelieved about our own feelings and experiences.

I think we are long past the point of noting the judiciary is ideologically captured by bigots and extremists

I need to get out more in Glasgow

Spending my pre-work time drawing designs for starfighters :)

at minimum I think any municipal minded social democrat should want to make Red Vienna look like NIMBYism

Me when I have an idea just before falling asleep but I don’t write it down in my phone notes:

There's a great bit in the novel Butter about the power of a turkey roast and how the difficulty of it is the point as an act of ultimate culinary dedication to those you love, and I think about that moment a lot

I love working for a University that has a high proportion of overseas students studying in the UK, now to take a big swig of coffee and see what the Government is doing to support my struggling sector

"It's ironic how Death of the Author is reinterpreted to mean the exact opposite-" no it's not it's just very stupid

Glasman is the final boss of class discussion because a literal peer of the realm is ranting about working class and how to win votes

Oh wow so if you turn off the AI data scraping, Google really does just remove quality of life from Gmail in the most bitter way possible huh

Maybe the most solved murder in American history, but the idea the leader of a nuclear power could be killed by a single very motivated marksman who had already tried to shoot and kill a public figure melts people's brains

Happy with these guys so far ^-^

Find Cummings interesting as he's a thoroughly disgraced public figure who has been trying to cope with a loss of political standing by becoming a freak weirdo altRight incel who has twitter fame and is a year away from posting about gooning as am act of enlightenment

Had Nixon died in 74 like he nearly did, I do think America would have probably had a much healthier fifty years

The transphobic landlords are leaving. And yet YP are also platforming SUTR (SWP) activists at their events and courting them

The American proposals are horrific and demand the Ukrainians butcher themselves, also pretty obvious the Russians won't accept them because it still leaves Crimea vulnerable to blockades without a land bridge lol

Name a non-English film

Looking the financial indices out of the UK and apologies if this has ever come up before, but have they considered reviving the economy by joining a large economic and political consortium of countries nearby, say in Europe?

It's the most wonderful time of the year: Scotland's gritter tracker is back! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❄️🧊 www.traffic.gov.scot/gritter-trac...

I wonder how Scottish Power's award-winning LGBTQIA+ employee network In-Fuse feel about their company's name being stamped on the awarding of a hate group assaulting the rights of their community. This was just 10 days ago (reposted without image)

I don't really care about historical accuracy in movies but I do feel like, if you're not going to be accurate, have fun with it and pull a Titus '95 or Richard III

Its quite striking to me the similarity with the no more jury judgements thing Labour wants to do how they say “criminals shouldn’t get juries“ when the reality is that its “people wouldn’t get juries“

Why yes, @microsoft.com, I will HAPPILY provide you feedback on how exactly I feel about Word right now.

THIS IS YORK (1953)

The Ed Gein show has him say he's what

Mill workers were hugely important in the push to get women the vote. Although wages were low they, wielded economic power and were well organised. They often, unfairly, get overlooked in the popular narrative where the quest for the vote gets cast as a purely middle or upper class movement.

We need a word to describe how the media makes sure that it sets its own news agenda on TDOR, trans day of visibility, Pride Month, and the anniversary of Brianna Ghey’s murder. It happens every year, and it’s shameless. I’d like to propose: “flooding” - like “flooding the zone”.

Rent

Genuine real confession time: I didn't realise Sydney Sweeney and Sabrina Carpenter were different people and have been having a very confusing six months trying to follow the news

But my gut is: the problem with the government’s agenda is they are hitting the winners from economic liberalism on their most important thing (their livelihood and their businesses) and hitting the winners of social liberalism on their most important thing (their lives).

None of their cultural views are popular and their economic policy had massively constrained their ability to govern effectively/fundamentally split the Labour movement

Nothing is a better demonstration of the anti-scientific nature of banning trans women from sports than the fact that the IOC's OWN STUDY found no evidence trans women have any advantage over cis women in sports, but they're planning on going ahead with banning us anyways

I'll probably read Flesh because I refuse to let my tastes be shaded by The Guardian's culture pages of all things

holy shit they actually made a game that gives you one of these

Ultimately the vision of britain that starmer has is profoundly cynical, nasty and just not true. He thinks that abidicating his responsibility in showing that another option is maturity and doing the difficult thing, but he's literally just creating the hateful country he is so afraid of

the government's choice to not raise income tax and to lurch even further right on immigration is pretty clearly a "if we can survive this we'll survive anything" purity test for its mutinous backbench and to be clear no Government has ever survived throwing the gauntlet like this

"You have to give up YouTube and Netflix to save the planet" isn't rooted in any evidence or climate science, it's basically rooted in Puritanism and the belief that "eating bitterness" is mandatory...

LOSING IT

I think HRT should be available over the counter

not sure I think lynch mobs are woke tbh

lol fucked it

It's really weird how many people are willing to die on the hill of defending an ex-mercenary who had a Nazi tat and lied about when he got it because he's running to be the nominee in a race that's over half a year away

The Starmer re-elect is dead. The souffle does not rise twice, the prime minister does not come back from that kind of approval rating, or indeed the level of hatred he inspires in the country now.

non-binary people do not owe you tutorialization

the Miliband patter is funny because there's six or seven women who are much more better positioned to become leader but sure people are circling the guy whose previous leadership was a fucking mess
