I know you don't like to be asked, but is there any chance your party could shift on trans rights?

I've sort of forgotten who's even still in the Conservative party? Maybe this is just me being an idiot, but I hear about Badenoch from time to time, typically saying something pretty ridiculous that I don't believe she believes - but where are all the other Tories?

This wildfire started on the common across the valley from me in July. It was windy, but I got a bit of footage from my drone. It's amazing how fast the fire spread on dry grass. The fire service arrived moments later. How easily it could have been considerably more serious.

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.

The transphobia thing is best explained by a critical mass of arseholes and idiots holding the power. Indeed it does not bode well for the party's decision-making in general.

Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

🧵 One of the greatest Irish artworks is a stained glass window by the great Harry Clarke (1889-1931). The window is a depiction of a poem by Keats called The Eve of St Agnes. It was completed in 1924. The beauty of the piece if that all the elements - the characters work together visually [1]

Oh and this site has it opening in 1789 🤷🏻‍♂️😁 It's pretty cool, anyway - worth a diversion to see the entrance if you're traveling anywhere near it. Short of some engineering advances or a whimsical billionaire taking a liking to it, I don't see it opening. www.cotswoldcanals.net/sapperton-ca...

You're really not going to get a better example of the perils of highly concentrated wealth than Musk. I think it's fair to say that he does have some exceptional, Edison-esque skills and talents, but it'd be much better if he was less powerful.

Great year for canal tunnels - Sapperton (~3.5 miles) also opened in 1811. (Shame it's no longer navigable… maybe one day…)

I honestly wonder how many people I know are English by this bullshit definition. What proportion of the country happens to have multiple generations all born in England specifically? Nobody actually believes this crap, anyway - half of the upper class were born in some colony.

No no, you see people with lots of money can only be motivated with more money, and people with very little money can only be motivated by the threat of having none at all.

It's still wild to read that "adults back in charge" thing when it was something centrist types actually said, rather than it being a daft stereotype of them.

It's horrible because, for a worrying number of people, it makes it seem ok to be racist. It encourages people to lean into the grimmest part of their psyche. This isn't "saying it like it is" stuff, this is literal Nazi material.

This isn't far off their thinking, tbh. When they say "our women" they are talking about ownership.

Is the whole world just completely capitulating to manufactured fears over migration to the point that everything is going to become hopelessly gummed up? And this ridiculous mindset is being bankrolled by an immigrant trillionaire? I suppose the rest of us aren't real people.

Just a reminder that people don’t always realize they were raped in the immediate aftermath. It can take hours, days, months, and even years to realize you were raped, and it doesn’t make it any less true. There are many kinds of responses, including fawning and trying to appease your rapist

I can't help but think that it's primarily motivated by revenge. It seems like an incredibly unhealthy way for a society to respond to a crime.

GW Bush used it before Obama: "a safer world and a more hopeful America" It's a pretty different tone, though. I think it's likely Labour are trying to undermine the Greens, but if they steal some ideas at the same time that could work out well (chance would be a fine thing.)

Kinda sus to take two of the four words of a Green slogan though, no? But hey, if they manage to invoke some hope, that'd be great.

Clearly that's still the intention. Their ideal is still that they give absolutely nothing to the left, but (enough) people feel as though they have no choice but to vote Labour to keep Farage out. Just as with Corbyn, they'd much rather lose than lean left.
