I think about this so much as I raise my own children. A heartbreaking article about the innocence, adaptability and optimism of children in a world so barbaric to them 💔💔💔

@fifimcfae   and you used to have to wear a jacket over your halloween costume because it used to be cold in october

This meme pairs text reminiscing about cold Halloweens with an image from The Simpsons showing Grandpa Simpson sitting on a tree stump telling a story to a young Bart Simpson and other children sitting on the grass.

Farage has been touting low/no regulation of crypto for a while. Whether the donations from crypto billionaires came before or after is less clear, but a party that claims to be for the working person that's funded almost exclusively by two very very rich men doesn't really look anti-establishment

I am so bloody tired of government by electoral attack strategy. You WON, now get off your collectively irresponsible arse and govern for survival, happiness and prosperity, not the fantasies of billionaire US tech-and-sex-party magnates.

And, like, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but the word “existential” has stopped meaning sexy French people smoking in dark corners and turned into a harrowing discussion about whether our children inherit a civilisation or a famine with great conference centres.

I, like many people, have become very, very wary of the left pivoting to making "Zionist" an all-encompassing identity that can be selectively weaponised. It's totally unnecessary. If you want to condemn the state of Israel, you don't need to bring anything else into it.

I guess I just don't see the point of using a term that can mean almost anything from "hardline supremacist actively carrying out a genocide" to "thinks a particular ethnoreligious group should have a land to call their own, even if they have to share it with others".

If you want a better world we are going to need to be much tougher than I'm seeing from lots of people today. Regardless of what particular motions are passed, they will come for us, and a few negative headlines is just the appetiser. So prepare yourself for the fight. The world is at stake.

Labour just don't get it. They don't get how scared people are with extreme weather becoming our new normal. We need voices in parliament that will force them to take wildfires seriously, not quietly shirk responsibility.

This is so true. I was a hardcore "everything is structural" guy when I was younger but over & over again in my lifetime I've seen history-defining shit happen just because some guy or small group of guys was in the right/wrong place at the right/wrong time. Contingency rules everything around us.
