A really interesting conversation between @katiephang.bsky.social and Prof Scheppele about how autocracies can be overturned. The power of people en masse works every time ๐ค

When you aggregate the comments of various Reform UK candidates, you find they:
Hate the NHS
Hate immigrants
Hate Black people
Hate Brown people
Hate Muslims
Hate Jews
Hate women
Hate students
Hate LGTBQ people
Hate the unemployed
Hate disabled people
Hate everyone ...
But claim to love the country.
Claims and ideas which happen to favour the ruling class don't dominate public life by accident. They're paid for by oligarchs and corporations then promoted by media outlets other oligarchs and corporations own. Once they've been drummed into our ears enough, they're internalised as "common sense".
A great reminder that the power is always in the hands of the people sharing a common good.

There's a simple means of telling whether someone can be trusted: when they get something wrong, do they admit it?
A consistent feature of Trump and the Maga crowd, of Farage, Truss, Johnson, Le Pen, Weidel and their counterparts around the world is that they do not admit to getting things wrong.
Thank you for the repost ๐
My studio with drawings and paintings on the back wall, a painting on my easel, down the left side (as you look at the photo) I have a desk with my paint pouring work on it. In front of that are a large & smaller tables displaying my paint poured glasswork, my knitting, crystals and jewellery. On the right side is my admin desk towards the back. At the front is my unraveling chair where I unwind knitted items to repurpose
My studio is open today until 4pm. If youโre in & around Kirkcudbright please pop in & say hello ๐ Iโm in the old library on High St. Iโll also be open again on 17th & 18th April, 2nd & 3rd May, 8th & 9th May and 22nd, 23rd & 25th May ๐

A US anti-abortion group close to Reform has tripled its spending in the UK since 2020.
This is not a coincidence.

I made a whole BBC TV series (2020) about the remarkable resilience of the people of Iran and their culture over centuries of threat and callous rule. You can watch it right here: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...
Journalism isn't a suicide pactโjournalists aren't required to ignore the definition of negotiation because Trump and his minions say they're conducting one.
They're not in negotiationsโthey're running a hoax or scam intended to victimize the world, but it's *not* a negotiation.

Getting ready to open my studio soon ๐
I do not like that man named Trump
I do not like his bloated rump
I do not like his war decrees
That drift like smoke on foreign seas
He drops the match, then claims heโs calm
Calls chaos peace, calls fire a balm
I do not like him, not at all
A neon ego on the wall
A professor of international politics says the 47 regimeโs miscalculation of Iran is not an anomaly. It is the latest entry in one of the oldest & most lethal traditions: the catastrophic gap between what leaders believe going in & what war actually delivers.
No pay wall.
A lovely afternoon walk in between the showers. I ๐ the sound of the waterfall.
