One for you @tonythorne007.bsky.social

Not going to read this article as this Cypress Hill-referencing headline is all I need.

Well that was a good game. Slightly hairy moments towards the end but a solid performance overall. Thank you #LUFC

Bloody hell, is this the #LUFC we were expecting today?

Andor would want you to cancel your Disney+ subscription. It's the least you can do for the Rebellion.

Interesting snapshot of UK opinions about last weekend's flagshaggers rally on Gogglebox. No great surprises in who talked sense and who looked suspect 🤔

The main story on BBC 6 Music News this morning is that a ‘boat carrying migrants is on its way to France’ Delivered in the same upbeat tone as England winning the women’s Euros. The migration ‘debate’ in this country is unmoored from reality, and the media-political complex is feeding it

@snig.bsky.social paging you!

What did Starmer say to him?

Hard to believe the company that created Andor would censor Jimmy Kimmel, unless it was all always just about the money 🤔🤔🤔

In the words of Peter Kyle, it's nice to see "free speech is alive and well".

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States. 🔗 www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

Sure looks like Stephen Miller is saying to do away with free speech to silence, jail, and crush those who speak out against his efforts. And the "free speech absolutist" Elon Musk is agreeing with him. Can't believe so many people still claim that he's a "free speech absolutist."

It melts my head that X is still used for official Government communications, and, catching up on today's news and the fact we have a foreign billionaire inciting violence on our streets, it's clearer than ever that this should end. I raised this in Parliament last week 👇

Can anyone explain why the Government is still doing most of its communications through a website whose owner is now openly rallying the far right to trigger a violent insurrection on our streets?

This is demented. Totally demented. Yet tomorrow, the UK government, the BBC and most public bodies will still be posting on X.

Absolutely !!!insane!!! to me that the UK government, lobby and newspapers litigate at length every minor infraction by the BBC, rival newspapers, or what some random columnist has posted. But all of them just carry on not even commenting about this media owner. He’s not hiding, he’s telling you!

Just slightly more bothered about the rapid and public rise of fascism in the UK than the cruel Leeds result today, so drowning my sorrows with a few beers and some Blaggers ITA.

Great journalism from The Guardian 🙄 I probably, nostalgically and naively, expect better of them.

Mad isn't it? The left fragments and the most you get is a 10,000 word denouncement in an obscure lefty journal and the side-eye at a march. Meanwhile, the fash engrave bullets with obscure memes and blow each others' brains out.

Currently on the front pages of right-wing rags, The Sun, Mail and Telegraph all over the UK.

I'll merely note that today, like all days, is a great day to stop posting on Twitter, a platform whose owner force feeds this slop into people's brains with an algorithm designed to boost his views and trample yours.

Read this and get active. We're rapidly approaching a re-run of the late 70s and will soon be in the late 30s if we're not careful. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

You just know that Starmer and his team will be smugly watching the Norwegian election results and adding them to the "don't write us off" column along with Canada.

Fuck me, what a shitshow of a world. Time to log off.

I'm sure these newspapers are reporting this fairly and without any influence from the fossil fuel industry or far-right, climate-denial cranks.

The owners of Manchester United have already reacted to the defeat at Grimsby by sacking two canteen staff, a cleaner and a trainee who works in the ticket office.

The fucking Times. Sieved. Illegitimate. Is this supposed to be who we are now? Because this can entirely fuck off back to 1939.

We're past the point where language analysis ('sieve', for God's sake) can be an end in itself, but it can sharpen our focus on what's at stake and how language is part of the overall strategy of dehumanisation.

Don't ever change #LUFC Absolutely abject stuff. 😂😂😂

A real headscratcher, this one.

Oh well. Not that bothered beyond the poor Farke decisions about the starting line up #LUFC

At least Arsenal can't sing their tedious one-nil to the Arsenal any more. Silver linings and all that. #LUFC

Respect and solidarity to all anti-fascists out there today facing down the racists.

This is the issue for me. It's a systemic issue and they seem to be the ones that galaxy brains can't or won't understand. Just get off Twitter FFS.

This is a useful thread for tracking the reality vs media hyperbole around the anti-migrant, far-right protests currently going on.

The descriptions of Connolly's physical appearance from Pearson are so mawkish, laughable and vomit-inducing, I'm reluctant to share them.

100 Women's Rights Organisations, including @rapecrisis.bsky.social, @refugecharity.bsky.social, & @evawuk.bsky.social have signed a letter warning that attempts to link rape & violence against women & girls to immigration is a racist distraction. They urge the govt to address dangerous narrative

Five of Reform's Kent Councillors took a group photograph at a Maidstone protest including this man who attended draped in the flag of the neo-fascist British Movement www.kentcurrent.news/p/kent-refor...

🤩 ALL THREE POINTS!!! #lufc

Leeds Scum Are Back!

Tidying up Austria one sticker at a time.

Lol.

Slovenia ain't too shabby 😍

Interview with a delegate from Bristol Antifascists for the Bristol Cable about the recent wave of fascist violence against migrants in the UK. I'm very, very sorry for not including alt text. It's screenshots of a whole article, so I don't think it would fit. When they put it online I'll repost.

3 💡 conclusions from this @timeshighered.bsky.social piece based on @altmetric.com data: 1️⃣ Academic twitter is dead 2️⃣ Bluesky is the most promising alternative 3️⃣ There is a lot of underused 🦋 potential with many dormant (institutional) accounts #academicsky www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

The week in which it's going to be 34 degrees celsius would of course be the same one we are asked not to attend our air-conditioned offices due to an elevated far-right threat. It would be easy to only blame the fascists for all this, but the Labour government has played a huge enabling role.
