Most of my recent political spats have been with Labour folks who refuse to admit that the party turned its back on its voters, and those who refuse to move right with it, are apparently “deluded”, “naive”, or “helping Reform”.

You vote for people to represent you, if they stop representing you…

Who funds the Free Speech Union? Toby Young’s outfit went to court to hide its donors. Today we reveal that funders include US anti-abortion groups, Brexit politicians and Tufton Street insiders.

You'll be astonished to learn that the self-described "Free Speech Union" recently took out a court injunction to prohibit publication of a list of its donors...

But @petergeoghegan.bsky.social reports it has gained "significant sums from a vehicle linked to... donors to Tufton Street think tanks"

We're outside London City Hall to demand that the Met Police are held to account by the London Assembly.

Yes we expect disappointment. MOPAC who are meant to hold the Met to account are spectacularly toothless.

It's almost as if it's set up that way.

the unknown has always existed and all that has changed in the vast arc of our timeline are the dissonances that allow us to accept it it used to be before sciences and empiricism phenomena made mysteries simply had a god, or a fairy or a djinn, within and we had patron spirits for every strange thing but now it is all spooky action at a distance, cosmic strings dark matter, and dark energy, the missing greater part of gravity, and how our alchemy of neurochemistry makes me miss you into such philosophy

On my way to what should have been gig two of three in four days, but instead, is the second and final. The gig that I could have so easily have been paid for tomorrow became logistically impossible because late notice meant my travel plans were already fixed… book disabled poets, but book us EARLY.

Meta has a history of torturing their moderators and providing NOTHING in the way of mental health care. How do I know? Because I used to be a moderator for Meta and I got a $3,500 settlement for the PTSD they gave me.

When we tried to unionize, they moved their moderation to the Philippines.
