Ah yes, if only we knew the special stuff that only the government knows, we would agree with everything it does. Says every authoritarian state, everywhere.

Hello Bluepals, we are open.

I'm sure "Man of the People" #Farage will be livid at this white, middle aged utter banker. Bit too close to home, eh, Nige? www.lbc.co.uk/article/mult...

Guardian, are you going to cover Peter Thiel’s secret society, Dialog, and the long list of its attendees, such as Cory Booker, Jim Himes, Jared Polis, Wes Moore, along with Leonard Leo, the PayPal Mafia, Jared Kushner, and so many more? bsky.app/profile/crim...

Piecemeal sanctions and "guidance" regarding illegal Israeli settlements in Palestine simply do not go far enough to address repeated war crimes and human rights abuses by the Israeli govt - especially when illegal properties are being marketed at British events, as we saw last week.

House of Games is being repeated this week - even though a Monkey Cage executive said I should never be put on television (and would storm meetings and shout at people if they were aiming to do it) I think I was okay on this

France is leading the way by enacting a total ban on harmful chemical treatments to protect our essential pollinators. Bees are the backbone of global agriculture and food security. Let us hope that more countries follow this incredible example.

If an adult wants to have a smaller portion of food, perhaps because they are trying to lose weight, or just aren't hungry enough for a full meal, is it acceptable to order a "child's meal" in a restaurant, pub or cafe? If not, why not?

Grim question but what percentage of the human population would have to die before the human impact on climate is diminished?

🔴 SCOOP: Farage doesn't seem to want to answer questions about his money. So I went looking - and found that the Reform leader's personal company is in breach of UK company law democracyforsale.substack.com/p/revealed-n...

If you talk about Michelle Obama today, please make it about this video

Child goes to new school. "BREAKING NEWS" apparently. As if anyone cares! BBC News - Prince George to attend Eton College from September www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Monday outside the Royal Courts of Justice in London where the Judges upheld the proscription of Palestine Action.

Boycott CBS and Paramount. Take power. Seize their assets. Break up these monopolies.

Beautiful inside and out. The repeated attempts to demean Michelle Obama say nothing about her and everything about the people making those comments.

@crowdfunder.bsky.social sneaky of you to default opt me in to donate 20% of my chosen donation amount. It should be active opt-in by user. How many people have donated exactly what they could afford, only to be caught out? I will not be using your site again.

Tapp challenged Zack Polanski on social media over what a convicted terrorist should “look like” and ended up with egg on his face... @skwawkbox.org

Absolute chancers. Nationalise water. Now. And keep it in public hands forever.

A lot of people are confused by the concept of “cat years" so here's a little guide: 0-1 years - just a little baby 1-3 years - just a little baby 4-9 years - just a little baby 10+ years - just a little baby

Whittled down a list of solar panel/battery installers to two, almost identical price, one providing Longi panels, the other is providing Perlight. What I've read so far is that they are comparable, but Perlight has longer life. Any knowledgeable people care to comment/recommend between them? #Solar

Perfect response.

Did you see the sign today about hobbies?

I LOVE THIS!!! Bloody love Glasgow. If I ever move from where I live now, it will be to Glasgow, I have never felt so welcome anywhere else. #Scotland

Hannah Spencer looked so good in parliament that her enemies assumed she must be wearing a £2k Gucci shirt; now she's revealed the truth

1500 years ago, the infrastructure of Roman cities - the roads, bridges and aqueducts - was left to fall into disrepair, while cash was pumped into new vanity projects: churches & cathedrals. Fast forward to the present day and precious water and energy is being guzzled by new gods: AI data farms.

72 lives lost. 9 years later and 0 justice. Profit was put above human life. Justice must be done. www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/zack...

"Nigel Farage has sunk to a new low. Nobody who has made such disgusting comments is fit to serve the public - shamefully Nigel Farage clearly thinks that's not the case."

When you see the story about how the world now has its first trillionaire, and when you see the story about how laboratories in Congo have run out of supplies to test for Ebola, it is important to understand that in many ways these are the same story.

interesting Last year Mr Justice Johnson granted an early release from jail for far-right Zionist extremist Tommy Robinson. But he's just sentenced four Palestine Action activists as terrorists, even tho they were never prosecuted for terrorism 👇 Conflict of interest www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A crime committed by one man is a crime. A mob hunting families because they share his skin color is racism. The difference should not be difficult to understand.

take a minute to read this.

Sharing this poem again because I think the world needs these words now more than ever.

👏 👏 👏 Newcastle Council showing up Reform as the homophobic idiots they are. "LibDem-led Newcastle Council raised the Pride flag to mark Pride Month. The decision comes after Reform-led Gateshead & Sunderland Councils refused to fly the Pride flag". www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"Mirror journalist asks why violence committed by white men never seems to matter" www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

Reform want to take us to a grim place. They've been in their right wing echo chamber for far too long. The vast majority of people in this country don't denigrate difference - we celebrate it.

Absolute star, with the confidence and evidence to say it like it really is! #GoHannah

It's really stinkin' simple. There should be NO PRICE PAID for disagreeing with Israel. There should be a HEAVY PRICE PAID for disparaging and hating on Jews. And because too many people conflate the two, turning political disagreement with Israel into Jew bashing...you will pay that heavy price.

The world's first trillionaire is backing the far right mobs and their politician backers. Don't think for a second that these men have ordinary people's interests at heart.

The U.S. and Iran seem to have vastly different interpretations of the current deal framework

For those of you who take an interest in these things, tonight sees my latest directorial efforts on #Emmerdale It’s an hour-long episode this evening… and the same again on Monday. I hope you get as much enjoyment from watching them as I did making them. 🤞
