This and the discussion about how academics can now just read AI summaries of things really drives home how much these guys always confuse the product for the goal. You don't do a coloring sheet because you want to have a colored sheet at the end!!! The coloring is the point!!!

We're taking on Reform. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Latest poll puts Greens just two points behind Labour. When I said we weren't here to be disappointed in Labour but to replace them, I meant it. Join us and let's make hope normal again. join.greenparty.org.uk

It is very nearly the tenth anniversary of that brief moment when, for 2 or 3 days, British newspapers remembered refugees are desperate human beings who need our help, rather than scum that it's okay to threaten with violence.

Aside from the frothing racism of these people, what is really grim about this is the idea that government are powerless to change culture. If your constituents think these things *they are wrong* and you need to explain why. It's not actually your job as an MP to rubber stamp fascism.

“Speaking of which” he continued “I have somebody nailed into a coffin that’s half-filled with piss and knives and if they can stay in there for a whole week, I’ll give them the $50,000 they need for chemotherapy.”

England’s NHS crews ‘watching patients die in back of ambulances’ due to A&E delays

I see The Patriarchy has nicked an hour off Mothers Day.

Absolutely correct.

Birmingham Royal Ballet is reassessing the scale of its productions and the frequency of its tours following the confirmation of the 100% cut to its council funding in the 2025/26 budget 👇

On top of total capture of COP by the fossil fuel industry, we now have "Amazon forest felled to build road for climate summit." At what point do we acknowledge what is now plainly obvious: that this is not the solution, but a big part of the problem, a coverup for BAU? www.bbc.com/news/article...

📣BIG NEWS 📣 Punch by James Graham will make its Broadway debut at Manhattan Theatre Club in autumn 2025, directed by Adam Penford. Broadway run dates and casting are yet to be announced.

The space between the c and the o really seems to divide public opinion.

All set for tonight’s opening of The Makropulos Affair at @scottishopera.bsky.social. Has been a total joy working with this team and company. #OperaDirector Olivia Fuchs #SetDesign #CostumeDesign Nicola Turner #VideoDesign Sam Sharples #LightingDesign me!

We can only hope that FPTP gives us a result that is not very representative of this. Also, it'd be nice if Starmer joined the Labour Party.

Red = lowest ecological integrity. Ireland has the great honour of being probably *the* most ecologically trashed nation in all Europe. 🏆 🏆 🏆

I was LX op on the original London production of GHD @oldvictheatre.bsky.social. Think there was a time when I had seen the production more than anyone else; which was fun to think about given the time-loop story. Miss those days, the people and the place. Happy Groundhog Day! 🦫

On a serious note, in order to make the case that “authoritarianism is worse” you have to exist in a democratic system where people who aren’t homeowners are allowed to win elections and aren’t hounded out of that system with hysterical accusations and slander when they try to engage in it.

I regret to inform I gotta hand it to Zizek again

For all that these Reform racists bang on about losing our ‘British culture’ it often seems that as a nation Britain is absolutely intent on wrecking our cultural life you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/sa...

You can’t invoke Thatcher in 2025, that’s bananas. That’s wacky if you’re a Tory, let alone Labour. Look what she’s done. Look at the fucking state of everything. At one point she said Blair was her greatest creation. It’s not true anymore, her greatest creation is now Starmer.

It would be nice if for once this *Labour* government made a “hard decision” that was actually in the interest of the public rather than balance sheets. But no, we’ll freeze your granny one week, and eviscerate the planet the next. But please do appreciate how hard these decisions are for us.

Think the UK should do the same?

"Let's invade the Faroes and rename the Irish Sea"

Is this real?!! 😳

Bad timing for this storm really; today was meant to be bin day.

Buckle up kiddo’s! 😳

This Government is a danger to us all. "Economic growth is more important to the UK government than net zero, Rachel Reeves has said, dropping a heavy hint that she intends to shrug off climate concerns & reaffirm her backing of a third Heathrow runway." www.theguardian.com/business/202...

The chair of the anti monopolies watchdog has been sacked and replaced with a former Amazon boss, just as it starts to investigate tech companies. But it's not Trump, it's the Labour Party. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

everything happens so much

It wasn’t a Nazi salute he was just practicing getting his bank card into famous fascist Tommy Robinson’s ATM

This is resistance. Not memes and calling him "Drumpf".

Elons Nazi salute is turning into that viral white and gold dress, except one answer makes you a fucking prick

I didn’t realise it’s only a Nazi salute if the person doing it explicitly says “I am doing a Nazi salute”
