You’ve been seeing very large #bumblebees on the wing for the past while. Why? Okay I’ll tell you why in this quick thread if you promise to #repost as the more people who know that these are queens the more likely that someone will help some out meaning more colonies next year. Deal? 1/15 #bees

Had a great time on Sunday playing our debut gig. Having loads of fun playing metal once again. Big thanks to Joshfest for booking us and the Fulford Arms for looking after us.

Jon plays drums in the background, while Jack, one of Mystica's guitarists, plays in the foreground on a stage lit by blue and red spotlights.

Joined a metal band as a drummer. Bought a pro-quality double kick pedal, even though I'm only just learning how to use one.

Had a fun time last night bumping into some old friends who know me as a folk music enthusiast and revealing to them that I have joined a metal band! Mystica's debut gig is happening 20th Sep at Fulford Arms, York as part of the Joshfest 3 all-dayer. We're on at 2pm.

In the metaphor where Nigel Farage is a 4 year-old told he has to sit on the naughty step for stealing sweets … he’s already screamed that he hates his mum and is leaving home … and now he’s standing at the end of his road, crying with a Peppa Pig rucksack full of breadsticks wondering what to do.

Why is the public confused about wealth taxes and climate change? Because for 40+ years, lobby groups and think tanks have been paid to confuse them. And it started with Thatcher pulling off one of the greatest financial cons in modern history. 🧵 @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23

Telegraph headiline:

"Heatwave hysterics wouldn't have lasted a day in 1976", overlaid with a bold “MONK DEBUNKED” stamp.

Look, we gotta stop using the word 'elites'. These people are not elite, just because they've stolen a lot of money. If anything, they're the exact opposite. They're inferior. If you're sitting on a pile of money while people starve to death, you're an inferior person.

Well, that Express headline was always going to raise a few eyebrows!😳 Starmer is responsible for embracing polygamy to appease Muslims, and so he's increasing their benefits?? That's the implication. After all, this "started in April", right? Wrong! 🧵1/25

Express Headline:

DWP increases benefits for husbands with 2 or more wives - Started in April

Today is an opportunity to send a real message to Starmer to get out of our way. Real change is possible, but only with new leadership for the country. #VoteGreen #LocalElections #r4today

When you see the relentless attacks from other parties on the Greens across the media remember this: They hate our plan to end Rip Off Britain. They don't want a wealth tax. They don't want public ownership & lower bills. They're trying everything in their power to stop us.

At a certain point of wealth, what is being pursued seems not to be wealth, but the ability to make other people suffer. What's being pursued is immunity from human decency; the ability and even the right to be depraved with impunity. They get off on the suffering. www.the-reframe.com/where-it-ends/

Answering the enabler's constant question, and contemplating the depraved depths of the billionaire mindset.

The reason Moby Dick is the most American novel ever written is because it is about a violent white man enacting a confusing revenge fantasy against a cheap source of oil.

“Take away the agent, and Bob is still a first-year student who hasn't started yet. The year happened around him but not inside him.” Great description of any use of an LLM that takes away formative struggles in education (reading papers, fixing early mistakes, outlining arguments).

My fellow writers might not want to hear this, but AI is a useful tool for certain aspects of the craft, like for instance when you’re engaged in the process of being a talentless shitbag hack who is too lazy to do any fucking writing.

Again, the allegation here has to be left unsaid because the moment you spell it out it makes no sense – to affect the result here the claim needs to be that Gorton and Denton was full of Muslim women who wanted to vote Reform, but were coerced by their husbands into voting Green instead.
