THE CULTURAL MARXISM CONSPIRACY
OUT NOW

What if... what really makes Britain "ungovernable" is... the nature of its political media and of its political class?
I'm so sorry. You are right.
More on the state of British academia.
Such cruelty and brutalisation effected through these processes that are dismantling disciplines and universities in the face of governmental indifference
Solidarity mate. Just fucking horrendous.
15 minutes; no questions; government got the blame; my department to have 60% of us sacked. Apparently sacking us will lead to a ‘new, improved’ curriculum. No voluntary scheme, straight to selection and legal minimum redundancy payment.
Sorry I'm having a rough day. Someone just 'called me out' as a cishet man and I'm folks, thing are more complicated than you could ever know.
When I worked in LGBTQ+ youth work that was our job. Help people find themselves, and their people.
Wish people wouldn't assume because someone passes as cishet that they are.
There might be a queer, gender diverse person there who has their battle that they fight every day. Even if you are out, even if you think you have seen it all, you mightn't see it in them.
Some of us hide. Help us not to.
'Military veterans'
A cynical attempt, as it was when the strategy was announced last year, for Stonewall to attempt to 'rightwash' itself, & move away from the work it should be doing
'Maybe if we focus on veterans Reform won't hurt us'
Good luck with that...or not.
The first pride was a riot.
Two A-10C 'tank-buster' aircraft (78-0632FT & 82-0659FT left Lakenheath this morning. We cannot track them but a KC-135 (59-1475) also left and seemed to be refuelling something off the coast of Italy.
We will wait until we put them on our list: lakenheathallianceforpeace.org.uk/bombers-for-...
As is lobbying.
We need revolutionary change, for all of us.
I am also destroyed by fatigue.
I am far from the worst off.
The one takeaway I would like people to have from #MSAwarenessWeek is that awful as the illness is, we are #disabledbysociety.
Things can, and should be different, and not just for disabled folks.
That's why lawfare is a dead end. /6
I have been advised to medically retire twice, but we cannot afford to.
Currently, I can't feel the left side of my face, standard, have got vision problems in my left eye, can't feel a finger in my left hand, and of course my left leg is almost completely dead and the right is unreliable. /5
Even though we are on of the few stautory automatically disabled conditions the DWP treats us like shit.
I started using my wheelchair outside last week. It was a theshold crossed, but I am more used to them than some due to my family history. /4
I ended up hanging up on them and not seeing them. People do not get this illness, as they don't get many chronic illnesses. The NHS knows it's an expensive illness so abandons lots of us who are progressives as write-offs.

On Saturday I couldn't feel my legs at all when I woke up, so I couldn't get out of bed. I was scheduled to meet a friend at 11am. I messaged them and said I was late, but they didn't see them. I rang them on the way there when enough feeling had come back for me to move, and they were upset. /2
First day of #MSAwarenessWeek and it's a shitter.
I rang to move my MRI tomorrow and they just cancelled it, as they said it's a second 'Did Not Attend' as I have only given them 24 hours notice.
I need that MRI, but funnily enough having MS I am ill. /1
Buckland is quite close to him I think and alluded to some stuff on Royal Blue, but I could have inferred too much.
Just my opinion obvs and very much hope I am wrong.
Thing is in the MLB model, they don't, that was the whole point of Moneyball and US owners are addicted to it. The regional TV deals don't exist here but the move digital league pass style coverage has enormous revenue potential and they know it. Moyes wanted players in Jan and they wouldn't spend.
*European Football Clubs working group
A la MLB where some teams never win but they guarantee enormous revenue to their owners nonetheless. Our spending last summer was limited due to last bits of PSR and lack of a recruitment team, but what they do - or don't - this summer will prove me wrong or right. Sorry for a rant mate, fuming here
There was an opportunity to spend in January, Moyes wanted backing allegedly and wasn't backed. Add in the price hikes and that 'Dan' is never at the game (but chairs a European Football Clubs due to Roma) and I worry. I think we're moving to a model where US owners want to use clubs to print money.
The time and goodwill to the club were long ago used up.
On your substantive point though I think the bigger concern longer term is I don't think the Friedkins are really that interested in Everton other than to sweat the asset. Moyes knows he needs a striker and a right back, as you say.
...7 wins in 11 years before his first appointment (including wins in two sessons were we survived on the last day) to 6 wins in over a quarter of a century since he came in 31 years without a trophy (which isn't on him exclusively).
It's difficult to ask a fanbase in that position for time.
Someone made the point wjen Dyche came in that Evertom have underachieved for so long that every manager is treated as if they have already had time, Moyes doubly so I suppose as he was here for a long time before and it was under him the derby disparity started...
You know what this piece really reads as? Offering a palatable explanation for why everyone under 45 is rejecting the subscriptionization of their lives, without insulting all the people who've turned our entire existences into subscription models and data farms.
Indeed. Lots of AI use *is* about nostalgia, homebrew computing and bringing back old tech is about getting out from under the totalitarianism of the former.
This account below is my EFC account. But I've realised more blues probably follow me on here. Any help/advice appreciated.
What is being done by Israeli forces in Lebanon is despicable, horrific beyond words. But let's not pretend that UK and US forces haven't been at this game themselves in the past and the present. This is the horror of the powerful against the powerless.
