The “appalling scenes in Gaza” have been enabled by the arms, surveillance & diplomatic cover Keir Starmer’s Labour government have provided to a genocidal apartheid state.
He still refuses to call it a genocide because he is complicit in it.
Keir Starmer belongs in The Hague.
It says a lot about British politics that it is seen as completely unacceptable to discuss amending the triple lock on pensions rising - but the idea of cutting unemployment and disability benefits is roundly welcomed and even celebrated
I just asked ChatGPT who Judge Kevin Newsom was. It got his undergrad and law school alma maters wrong, along with his dates of graduation and those of his Supreme Court clerkship.

DHL continuing to uphold their reputation for worst customer service ever by phrasing their emails like ransom notes.
“We have your parcel. Please do not contact us.”
Wanted to do a Sketch Wrapped but remembered we don’t track what you do in your documents. So here I am making it all up. I reckon this is probably all of you.
This is huge.

US right wing hypocrisy
“In 2022, YouGov asked “What percentage of Americans do you think are ___?”
The results were hilarious.
Trans: 21%
Muslim: 27%
Jewish: 30%
Black: 41%
Live in NYC: 30%
Gay or lesbian: 30%
The errors are off by orders of magnitude. The trans estimation by 2,000%.”

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.
lady of sophistication @janky_jane Props to anyone who tries to be fashionable in ireland i wore a red beret once in waterford and someone called me super mario Andrew Beatty V @AndrewBeatty Replying to @janky_jane I once ordered a taxi in Belfast for a night out. The driver pulls up to my house and just says "yer not going out like that. Go back in and change, I'll turn off the metre." | swear I was wearing normal jeans and a normal jacket.
Matthew @MrWeir Replying to @janky jane I once wore a silver jacket to college, turned up late for class, said 'sorry I'm late', lecturer said, 'that's ok' then waited til I was halfway across the front of the full class before following up with 'trouble with the spaceship again was it?'. Replying to @janky _jane My sister was in France sporting a new trench coat, thought was so stylish, but went into an Irish bar and got called Inspector Gadget by the first guy that saw her 15:53 • 8/16/21 • Twitter Web App
was wearing my super-fashionable short trench coat. My friend took one look at me wearing the jacket and said, "Where are we off to now. Columbo?" Eoin O Neill @eoinjoneill Replying to @janky_jane Was wearing a vintage nike jacket in a very long que for drinks at a boxing match when a Belfast lad goes "furk me this is taking forever, your man has been here since the 80's"
Loic Wright @dufflest Replying to @janky jane I wore a suit with a matching tie and pocket square to my first day of work at an advertising company (I thought I was going to be in Mad Men I guess) and the staff sent around and signed a communion card for me with a fiver in it. Eóin O Coileáin @L20_MTN Replying to @janky_jane I wore a white, wool turtle-neck jumper to the match once and a fella in the pub said 'Where have you parked the U-boat?'.
nobody does more brutal fashion reviews than the irish
me: correct me if I’m wrong-
the internet: sir, we will correct you even if you’re right
Your purpose on earth is not to argue with people who intentionally want to misunderstand you
Well said. This is the crucial point. “Slackers” will slack wherever they are but no one is arguing we shouldn’t have offices because some people don’t get anything done in them.
In my experience the anti-remote crowd tend to own commercial property or have invested in expensive office leases…
Folks, money isn’t real, we made it up.
This is a global threat. Pool your resources and fix it before it’s too late.
Matt Gaetz nobly standing aside so Donald Trump can nominate a more low-profile abuser.
At this point there's really nothing new to say.
We've been doing this for years, it's aggressively clear. She's the world's most prominent transphobe. Engaging in Harry Potter as a franchise supports her. She has explicitly said that she views that support as approval of her views.
Glad Matt Gaetz has withdrawn from nominations for the Attorney General role and he can go back to his proper job of “villain who wants to concrete over a sports field in a Disney film”
I can finally see the people I follow post things in real time. This is how social media used to be.
It's cool how the only skill you need to become a landlord is: own a bunch of money somehow.
Worth leaving twitter just for Sketch’s Bluesky presence tbh.
Farmers on Brexit:
Farmers on food poverty:
Farmers on supermarket price gouging:
Farmers on having to… checks notes… start paying the same taxes as everyone else:

If you are a congressional legislator and your biggest concern about the U.S involves throwing a hissy fit about one specific transwoman rather than... the country for which you're supposed to serve, then I think you might want to reconsider your career choices.
the fact that the blue sky team has successfully navigated this is kind of insane tbh
This is really getting quite remarkable
• BlueSky user numbers have doubled in the past week and now total 3.5 million across US & UK 🚀
• Number of people deleting their X/Twitter account remains way up
And the next chart is particularly notable...
Man who told The Times in 2021 that he’d only bought his £4.25m farm to avoid paying inheritance tax to lead protest against inheritance tax 😂🤣😂 www.thesun.co.uk/news/3179317...
Never has a crime so obscene been so confessed to, so endlessly, so shamelessly, so proudly
[noticing a group of people having a nice time at the park] enjoy your echo chamber
