Picture of Trump, Netanyahu and Putin over the statement It's incredible how many of our global issues have been caused by three white men in their 70s clinging to power to avoid prison. @johnbourscheid
Stale, Male, and so much beyond the Pale.
Charlie Kirk did not practice politics the right way. He made a career of engaging in the worst degree of bad faith and putting the lives of vulnerable people at greater risk with his shameless propaganda.
His murder is entirely reprehensible, but that doesn't condone his unbridled hatred.
Ezra, he died while defending his false claim that trans people are more likely to commit mass shootings. He called Leviticus 20:13--a verse saying gay men should be stoned to death--"God's perfect law."
I agree political violence is unacceptable, but what you're saying here is just not true.
The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned.
And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized.
I refuse to sanitize him.
🚨First Past the Post is broken - and even though the government has scrapped it for Mayors, it might be used to elect Sussex's new Mayor in 2026.
Tell your MP you want the first Sussex Mayor to be elected through a fair system, NOT FPTP: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...
My word of the day (and personal recommendation) is ‘snerdling’ (18th century): nestling cosily beneath the covers and holding off the day a little longer.
Morning.
LBC analysis revealed that almost 400,000 asylum claims could have been handled by the Home Office with the money the government has already committed to the Rwanda policy. 🙄
So it seems this was the reason for the Rwanda fixation. More dodgy contracts. How much has it cost the British public so far? I’ve lost count. Horrific.
Elon Musk would do loads of “edgy” jokes to silence at an open mic gig, then blame the audience for not laughing, before sitting at the back, heckling the other acts and insisting he’s going to set up his own club “but only for cool people.”
Is Braverman right… are you relying on Govt to stop the boats❓👇🏼👇🏼🤷🏼♂️

Hell9 lovely bsky people. Some pics from my walk today. Perfect day for a brisk walk

I noticed @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com Reblogged an update about #sagaftra on tumblr, then saw this article go up about 38 minutes ago. If you are keeping track (I hope you are) note that issues about #AI remain unresolved. The strike is now in its 117th day. More here:

Rishi Sunak's spokesman said last month that the Prime Minister believes gay conversion therapy is "abhorrent" and that "no one should be harmed or harassed for who they are."
Today the Prime Minister dropped his plans to ban it from the King's Speech.
🚨| Government has tonight announced plans to rob millions of their right to strike before Christmas & is willing to bareface lie to the public to get away with it

UK ‘in violation of international law’ over poverty levels, says UN envoy
Perhaps Home Secretary Suella Braverman could take note

'We can only conclude that transparency, honesty and accountability is not a priority for this government'

If you think the Home Secretary needs educating that for many - being forced to live in a tent due to destitution is not “a lifestyle choice” please share this as widely as possible https://youtu.be/kI1OsNgQK7k?si=qUY462CIp_-xcVH2
Because the almighty algorithm rules us all, a positive review on a bookseller site like Amazon is also super super helpful, and free/easy. Doesn’t have to be long, you can just write “loved it” and throw in a star rating and you’re done

A frighteningly plausible assessment of the situation that’s very very similar to Phil Moorhouse’s assessment…

He's got so much cash that he just doesn't care about anyone or anything that affects the UK public in any way. Amongst most politicians especially, I'm sure there's a relationship between level of cash and level of empathy. Sunak achieved zero empathy a long time ago as his wealth increased.
Dream denied
I know this is desperately overused, but it has never been more appropriate.
“I cannot stress enough… my wife isn’t involved in my politics👇🏼👇🏼
Whether she pays UK tax, has a green card, does business in Russia after it invaded Ukraine etc is not open for discussion… She stays very much in the shadows”
