Have you seen enough baby otters today? No? Let me fix that for you.

I live nearby, you could not find a group more commited to peace, our community and social good. If you ever needed proof re the racist ideology of these so called patriots, here you go. I also flagged this and if they come anywhere near I’ll stand to say they are not welcome, with plenty others.

Take a seat and admire the view. This morning was just incredible here in Glastonbury. Intense colour that started well before sunrise. I took quite a few so will post more later. When I see intense colour like this, I tend to rush around & panic that I can't be in ten different places all at once 😂

UK govts don't lack resources to improve the quality of life. Even if it does not embrace modern monetary theory, borrow, or hike taxes, it can harvest billions by eliminating tax, legal and fiscal policy anomalies. Some suggestions are in the linked article. Poverty is a political choice.

Sometimes you just need to dance. To lose yourself in the music for a while, let your body take over and your brain switch off. To leave the rest of your life at the door and come back out feeling a little lighter.

A whole week as passed since I had the BEST TIME at Lost Village festival. It may have pissed it down, but that did not stop the fun, in fact, everyone went in harder. I love this festival, filled to the brim with excellent DJ sets, the best vibe / people and this year a live set from Soulwax 💜🪩💃

The Tories f**cked Britain with austerity and Brexit then made it a whole lot worse by putting Truss in power to test out the batshit ideas of Tufton Street think tanks... They are not only a spent force but proven architects of decline who are in no position to lecture Burnham on anything ...

Nigel Farage straight up lied about why he didn't go to the declaration and not one publication I read called him a liar. Not one. 'Essex Police said, he said' bullshit. No enquiry about E and D putting him in the position that he's in. No race theorists saying this is typical behaviour of his race

I wouldn't call myself a cartoonist, but I had the vision and just needed it to be on paper to the best of my ability.
A hand drawn eight panel cartoon. First two panels are a colander sitting frowning on a shelf. Then the colander is frowning straining pasta, then three more panels of frowning sitting on a shelf. Then a big panel where it's projecting a bunch of crescent eclipse shapes and smiling with speech bubbles around saying "Wow! Look! Amazing! Beautiful!" And then one final panel where it's sitting on a shelf smiling.

Folks: the backlash to Meta's pervert glasses is working. Keep it up! www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
In one instance, a woman told the BBC a man had recorded her, and then demanded money to remove the videos from social media. Another woman described being recorded during sexual encounters without her consent. Last month, police in Scotland said they were investigating a far-right TikToker who allegedly filmed himself making sexualised comments to young women and telling a Sikh shopkeeper about a plan to “breed out the white race” without their knowledge.

'Arrest someone for using a dead person's own words against them' echoes the stupid prosecutions in the US for quoting Charlie Kirk. And this also has an unpleasant whiff of 'arrest someone from an unpopular group' (trans people).

Annoyed how stuff like this gets buried and the institutions involved at best turn a blind eye, at worst are enabling it. Reads to me like this is a case of the latter. Meanwhile our universities elsewhere are being gutted, humanities in partic, which probably works to the favour of this lot.

It will just be a campaign to poison the well. The aim would be to deny the next leader legitimacy with the hope that it would bed in up to whenever an election is called.
