@cahokia.bsky.social Hiya! Just checked out Return to Daggerworld via one of those skeevy pdf sites (sorry!) to see if it was any good, and now I've seen that it's awesome stuff I'm going to buy a copy! My question: is Heart of Daggers or Itch better for you? Do you get more money from one of them?

Proposed Birmingham City Council coalition: Lib Lab Love, Bab #LocalElections #LE2026 #LibLabLove

This is why we stand against Reform and all they stand for. metro.co.uk/2026/05/09/r...

the most anti free speech administration in this country’s history

One thing you won't hear on the News is that the Green Party got the 2nd highest number of votes in the Local Election. Ahead of everyone but Reform, and the Green vote is still growing.

#Bigtech consistently lies about the environmental impact of #DaraCentres. Why is it so hard to create and enforce rules that the polluter pays for the damage they caused? Most likely because if tech paid a true cost for their damage they'd be bankrupt. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

🎉 BIG GAINS IN BRUM 🎉 👏 Huge congratulations to Birmingham Green Party on going from 2 to 19 councillors! 💚 Greens are now the second biggest party on Birmingham Council.

With #AltText for everyone, because everyone needs to know.

The Onion ass headline

I’m so proud to be one of 19 @brumgreens.bsky.social councillors on Birmingham City Council! In Billesley, hope triumphed convincingly over hate. We got 45% of the vote and 1,200 votes more than our closest Reform candidate!

i thought this was the case it's nice to see that it is. the seat wins look scary but their vote is actually down.

BREAKING: Second Ever Green Mayor Win 🎉 Liam Shrivastava has been elected Mayor of Lewisham – huge congratulations!

Introducing your new @greenparty.org.uk Birmingham councillor for Handsworth - Ed Freshwater!

In Wigan, Reform got 46% of the vote. That gave them 96% of the seats that were up for election. First Past the Post is not fit for purpose.

would be a mistake to think of this and the other Memphis-related news item as completely separate stories

Absolutely incredible news. Huge congratulations to Anthony - our first ever member of the Senedd!!!! 💚🥳

You voted Green today? Then come and join us! join.greenparty.org.uk

I’d believe in the significance of what was happening in the English local council elections if more than 44% of the people eligible to vote had bothered to show up. I’m no political scientist, but a media blitz from the world’s richest fuckheads still couldn’t fight extreme disinterest

Birmingham Greens take Tyseley and Hay Mills!

Evergreen headline.

The Greens win our first ever directly elected Mayor - a huge historic victory! Huge congratulations to Zoë and the entire team. Two party politics isn't dying. It's dead and it's buried. And we're making hope normal again.

a decent answer to a fucking stupid question

Wow, I can't believe Labour's tactic of yelling "DON'T VOTE FOR THESE GREEN CUNTS, THEY'RE DANGEROUS, VOTE FOR US, WE HATE IMMIGRANTS IN A BETTER WAY THAN REFORM!" hasn't led to them keeping all their council seats.

"When you lose an election in a democracy you deserve to. You don't look at the electorate and ask them, 'what were you thinking'?"

YES YOU DO, YOU DO ACTUALLY DO THAT, ESPECIALLY ON LONG FLIGHTS. CHANGING PILOTS DURING A FLIGHT IS A THING THAT REGULARLY HAPPENS, DAVID

General election still a long way away so trying not to lose hope but it’s hard not to see a future in which reform get in, do a terrible job for four years and get kicked out again, but do a huge amount of damage and line their own pockets

Proportional representation, compulsory voting, lower limits on campaign spends, limit on campaign and party donations (overseas and domestic) Voting should feel like a normal way for citizens to engage with issues Being in government should look and feel like the boring job it is

Personation at British elections? Not really a problem: 1 conviction from 32,014,110 votes at the 2019 general election Voter ID requirements leading to eligible voters being disenfranchised? Big problem, here and now Abolish the #VoterID Rule

Unpopular opinion I have but sometimes parents have too many rights over their kids.

Funny that you never see a member of the 'deeply concerned about antisemitism' Starmer/Labour club say a word about these vile cartoons.

The shifting of goal posts toward "you can't say you don't like me, it's illegal not to like me" by tech people is in some ways the saddest thing I've ever seen and in others the most infuriating waste of our collective time and energy imaginable and a truly grotesque intrusion on our lives.

Zack Polanski doesn't think people should kick people in the head. Meanwhile, over in #Reform ...

Enormous admiration for Rajiv Menon KC, whose actions embody a rare truth amongst many myths about the Bar: a barrister should fearlessly defend their client against the State.

Reminder that @politicsuk.com is owned by Reform candidate Bailey Nash-Gardner.

Adulthood is just cycling between "If I don't say yes to every opportunity, no new opportunities will ever be offered to me" and "Oh no, I have said yes to too many things" over and over until you die.

I can't believe that, almost a year later, the Shrek gravestone still hasn't sold

Genuinely the single thing I've seem that makes me most likely to vote Green. The galaxy brain of setting up a website to.... threaten voters.

Also this is a prime example of this era of Fascism as Trolling. Doing horrible terrifying real world horrors for the most inane petty reasons. Destroying lives and freedoms for the sake of a post to trigger the left that emasculated you

I have never heard a TV presenter say "don't try that on me" to a single other politician. Not one. Just refusing to take what he says at face value. They'll do this to the Jewish leftist, but never to the bigots who blame immigration for everything.

Extremist is the death and destruction that Benjamin Netanyahu government brings on a daily basis. Extremist is them introducing the death penalty for Palestinians. Extremist is this apartheid, genocidal Israeli Government that our Government shamefully supports.

I knew using ChatGPT was bad for ones brain but this is REALLY FREAKIN' BAD. Wow. Added alt text:

Sorry, but I can't move on from this. Robinson exploits an antisemitic attack to do some racisms of his own against immigrants & the Met gives him a pat on the head & the media make no comment. Polanski does a retweet abt excessive police force & he's angrily rebuked & the media are all over it
