Idk man, the broadly defined settler colonial project is ultimately still a settler colonial project, and I think we'll be waiting a long time to see the non-racist version of that!

We are far enough into this debate (nearly 80 years by some metrics!) to be quite comfortable saying that anti zionism isn't anti semitic. And again - it would be a lot easier for green members to explain themselves if any of the media outlets covering this motion had bothered asking the yes voters

I don't see where you actually asked that question; all I see is a 'good luck with that'. Weird way to phrase a question!

I'm sorry, but I think the function of this motion is what it does, and not an inference based on one amendment. I don't have an explanation, nor am I a green member, so again I don't know. I don't think it's a good amendment. But maybe if the media had interviewed anyone who voted FOR this motion?

It's insane that the guardian journos were walking around the green conference all weekend and seemed to be unable to interview any of the 1000+ people on why they voted for the zionism is racism motion? But have posted several columns from people in + out of the party who oppose it

Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.

icymi! - I’m happy to say even over 12 hours after release I’m not filled with a deep resentment and loathing over this one, which means it’s pretty good!

Reacher full of dumbass, second screen exposition with every bit of dialogue, so to then put a superhero show next to that, which isn’t just doing ‘normal’ dialogue but doing it with great characters, and not be equally as miffed with it was a refreshing change!

Matt S @coolseemer.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
also I’m really sorry to say that I’ve really been fuckin w/Lanterns. I started it contemporaneously with Reacher (mostly wanted to see one of the books I’ve read on-screen), and was struggling to engage with Reacher at all because everything it did was being pissed on by Lanterns.

Polanski is one thing but why John Swinney has not brought the full force of Police Scotland to bear on the far-right gangs trying to burn down houses in Glasgow and then parading the suspects on TV in cuffs whilst saying how much Andy Burnham can learn from the Scottish Government is beyond me

If the police & security services didn't see this coming, it was a massive intelligence failure. If they did, but still gave the impression of being caught on the hop, it's something worse.

When I see headlines like this I think about how the state is already enforcing anti-vandalism rules under the guise of terrorism. And then I think about the (at this point ancient) warnings about conflict over water. And then I think about how the two options for the future are probs:

When someone is 'unelectable' it often means the press machinery have got more clients in the industries who are willing to fund election runs in exchange for favourable policy outcomes via lobbying. again,we are so captured by Great Man theory or Celebrity, that we can't see that its just the press

According to the FT, Orr is acting as a live-in-landlord-cum-cult-leader to Cambridge students including those under his own supervision, whilst receiving formal complaints about his behaviour, and boasting publicly how the university is a recruiting ground for the party he might be doing crime for
in North Cambridge, and a daughter. The
outbuildings and at least two other flats on the same road, which are owned by the family,
are home to a select group of postgraduate students from a range of faculties including
divinity. In a podcast interview in December 2024, Orr described having “10 students living
with us. They’re mainly PhD students or postdoctoral fellows.” He explained that they
always gather for Sunday lunch and often for dinner. “That’s amazingly stimulating,” he
said. “They’re . . . the cream of their generation in their respective subjects.”
The residents pay rent and do chores. Helen has fashioned a small chapel from a shipping
container, in which she holds morning prayers.The housing of students raises potential conflicts of interest. Over the past academic year, there were three divinity scholars lodging at the Orrs’ community, according to several
people familiar with the living arrangements. One is a postgraduate student who is directly
supervised by Orr. Cambridge’s staff and student relationship policy stipulated that its
employees are “strongly discouraged” from entering into close personal relationships with
students. Any relationship which involves “any form of dependence, whether emotional,
practical, financial or otherwise”, must be declared.Among the complaints upheld by the investigator are that Orr allegedly made belittling
remarks to the student, and had demanded an “excessive” and “unreasonable” amount of
written work in an effort to refine a thesis proposal. The report also criticised “at worst
inappropriate and at best thoughtless comments made [by Orr] in the equally
inappropriate context of [Orr’s] own home”. This was in reference to a dinner that the
student, who comes from a Christian, conservative background, had attended at Orr’s
house.While the society was established long before Orr had any formal role in Reform, it has
taken on new significance as his political activities gathered pace. Orr has described
Cambridge as a useful recruiting ground for Reform, boasting last autumn in an interview
with The Telegraph that he had met “hundreds” of highly able students he thought would
make suitable allies. He has also, according to The Spectator magazine, been tasked by the
party with “building a pipeline” to bring talent to staff a future Reform administration.
