⚡️Scottish activist Margaret Basita, a member of the Omar al-Mukhtar ship of the Sumud Flotilla, arrives in Istanbul after the occupation forces released the ship's activists.

Apparently, having the temerity to condone violence against British Jews, and for asking that we don't equate British Jews with Israel, makes me a Zionist. People who follow me know that's bollocks. Can we please boot out bad faith actors and go back to the more important topics. *gestures*

This should be a resigning matter, no minister of health or leadership at Sandyford should be able to govern over a health service that has a waiting list of over 224 years. The gender service at Sandyford must be abolished and replaced with primary healthcare www.wearequeeraf.com/gender-clini...

You actually didn’t have to say this in response to OP, because the only implication you're making is that civilians deserve to be murdered.

this is not funny, ceos only do this when they’re in extreme distress

Zack Polanski saying what every politician should be saying, "It's problematic to weaponise the synagogue attack to silence protest in this country against the genocide in Gaza" "These are separate things and we should condemn them both"

I just experienced the artistic plastic bag scene fae American Beauty, except the plastic bag wisna a carrier bag, but wan you pit round your hand for pickin up dug shite. #StormAmy

on the morning of a horrific antisemitic act of violence the State of Israel decides to formally invite a violent antisemite to its territory

So the terrorist killed one innocent person, the police killed another AND the terrorist? Slow hand clap for the boys in blue/black

Why did you mention it then.

Liège waffles are the pinnacle of waffles. They are not made from a batter. Instead they are made from a yeasted dough enriched with butter and egg, similar to brioche. Moreover, crunchy pearl sugar is mixed in. (also, unlike the ceo of this website i don't hate trans people)

Looking forward to the Home Secretary removing ILR for all British Jews.

you couldn't make 30 Rock these days, because of woke (GE sold NBC and no longer exists)

Al Jazeera reports on Israel intercepting the global sumud flotilla, boarding boats & detaining people. Those boats were in international waters & what Israel is doing is piracy and kidnapping. Where is the condemnation from our govt?

Yeah, it looks like it was Vusimuzi Madonsela who did the ICC stuff, not the man who died in Paris.

Heard a banger on the radio last week, but couldn’t make out what it was. Turns out it was Chappell Roan with Good Luck, Babe!

anyway bill passed! scotland has rent controls! onwards comrades

Just thought after all these years that maybe I’m annoying online.

Call me a prude if you want to, but I do think it's really weird to use your conference speech to list your favourite wanking euphemisms

Wow all the hours we spent in the writers room brainstorming how to appeal to fascist billionaires WASTED

See, journalism has gotten so much worse since the 1990s.

Holy shit, this rose so well

overproofed my 70% hydration sourdough, so it collapsed into a sticky mess. trying a nice simple 60% yeasted loaf instead!

Netanyahu: "Would a country committing genocide plead with the civilian population that it is supposedly targeting to get out of harms way? Did the Nazis ask the Jews to leave? Of course not" Actually, encouraging Jews to emigrate is exactly what the Nazis did 1933-39. Ignorant of Jewish history.

Starmer says past governments have been "squeamish" talking about immigration. Bullshit. Starmer isn't bravely breaking a taboo. He's blaming vulnerable people & deflecting attention from the super rich who hoard power & wealth. Want something better? join.greenparty.org.uk

i jus realised they’re called movies bcos they move. 😕

There's the adage that authoritarian governments at least run trains on time (judging by the UK, nope) — and here they can't even follow the proscribed process when wanting to lock up somebody they hate.

I thought St Andrews and NE Fife would forever be the dominion of Menȝies Campbell. Don’t know much about him. But he voted against tuition fees. So he had more integrity than a lot of his Lib Dem colleagues. And he was against the Iraq War.

Dear DJs, LUNCH (Billie Eilish) → Mystical Magical (Benson Boone) → Physical (Olivia Newton-John) would be an amazing transition. Thank you!

Still though, labour governments only dig up the mutilated corpse of ID Cards when they're really stressed, so that's at least something.

Britney Spears — Oops!... I Did It Again (2000)

tweeting against id cards like it's 2003

Looking forward to racists demanding to see people's Brit Cards on pain of pain, and the government/press handwaving it away as legitimate concerns.

Oh fuck off

You’d think a scheme they’ve been trying to force down the public’s throats for 25 years would be better thought through, but apparently not

The night side of Charon illuminated by Plutoshine, in a photograph by the New Horizons probe on its way out of the region and deeper into the Kuiper Belt.

Looks like everything worked out for the best. ☺️ But wh— I said, everything. Worked. Out. For. The best.

This is glorious.

... Not nice? Thought I was exercising harder than my watch thinks I am.

Eleven years on from the referendum, and that girl in the picture breaks my heart. What a world we could have had. I wrote this last year about what hope is and how it feels to me. The last few paragraphs make this year's me weep. graniteandsunlight.wordpress.com/2024/09/18/t...

me: man what a wonderful day where nothing weird is happening biology: btw ants are doing "prokaryotes evolving into eukaryotes" type fuckery on a macroorganismic scale :)

wait, Flight of the Conchords was HOW LONG ago?

I *firmly believe* that autism was *selected* in nature, due to there being a benefit in having people in your tribe that see the world differently, and approach problems in a different way, than one that was full of people who all operated similarly. Autistic people improve their communities.

Hotherslol (evergreen)

from our final rally for rent controls last night. debate is today and the vote is tomorrow - then towards a future of permanent rent controls in scotland. up the might living rent 💚

This is already the case in Scotland. Implemented and backed by pro-indy parties. Yet Labour minds will insist that the Scottish indy movement is the same colour as Reform, rather it being Labour who are chasing their xenophobic policies.

Even in this brave new world, Andrew Wakefield holds no sway.

Green membership across Great Britain has now overtaken the Lib Dems. @greenparty.org.uk passed 78,000 last night. @scottishgreens.org have 7,800, producing a total of 85,800. Last month, the Lib Dems told the BBC they had 83,174: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Of course the rapture has to be scheduled the day before my annual leave. Can it not just hold off for two weeks?
