Further proof that people who vote for the far right are either stupid or cynical racists - these are not "legitimate concerns". AfD support is highest where foreign nationals are fewest.

This has got to be the saddest political poster I have every seen. Look at the poor wee banker, oppressed by the Vegan Agenda. The right are such snowflakes.

@theguardian.com is a shitty, clickbait website for liberals. No, AI could not be conscious - but I predict The Guardian will be the first website to campaign for AI rights.

I wish the @financialtimes.com wouldn't do this. I am perfectly capable of choosing what I want to read. I don't need tailored content. I want to read my newspaper. I don't want my newspaper to read me. I certainly don't want it talking back to me.

This, on the same theme, is also good. It's created by a trade union and says "No Switzerland without us."

I think that this is one of the most effective centre left political posters I've seen in a long time - the hidden work that makes the good life possible.

I hate this shit. @theguardian.com inventing microtrends for clickbait in a culture war they're stoking. I am pretty sure almost no one, male or female, wants to be divorced. It's traumatic. If this was a one off, it wouldn't bug me, but there's a relentless drip-drip-drip of this content.

A Guardian headline saying "Hot divorcee summer: why women now want to be single, over 40 - and ready for anything" over an image of a woman, her back to the camera, running down a track and throwing her hat in the air.

Here's the first book I've ever found in Kaaps - though previously there were some poetry collections.

I really love the cake fridge on Shetland. It's a fridge. Filled with cake. You take your cake and leave your money in a tin.

God, I hate #EasyJet. £1,300 on flights for the family. Plane is delayed by 2 hours, leaving us at the airport with young children. They've offered me a £6 voucher as compensation.

So glad to see @orkneylibrary.bsky.social on Bluesky. I just walked past the building in Kirkwall and remembered how much I liked their Twitter account in the early, innocent days of social media.

What this means is that they plan to destroy Gaza city and kill everyone in it.. www.ft.com/content/2bff...

Once the order is given, Harel and other military analysts don’t expect taking control of Gaza City to prove too challenging for Israeli infantry and armour, although the operation is expected to proceed slowly — with intense firepower — to minimise IDF casualties.

Just closed my #Spotify account. The main reason is that they now show me "promoted music", despite the fact that I pay for an account. But the fact that they insist on communicating with me in German, because I live in Switzerland, is another reason.

I wîl never give this newspaper a penny. This nonsense, @theguardian.com, is what lead me to take out an @financialtimes.com subscription: if I am going to pay for news, I want something trustworthy, not liberal culture wars propaganda.

We had a very productive social dialogue meeting on the shipbreaking industry in Bangladesh today: employers, government, local unions, IndustriALL Global Union, and the Dutch union FNV who provide safety training.

I'm reading a 70 year old Penguin paperback that I picked up in a secondhand book store. In an age of ephemeral entertainment and repetitive rubbish on the streaming services, I find it very satisfying how old paperbacks retain their value. It feels like a small anti-market gesture.

I don't know who Margaret Sullivan is, and I'm not going to waste a click to find out, but she's clearly the US version of Polly "everything will be all right if you vote Labour" Toynbee. Imagine writing this kind of nonsense with a straight face. Facilitating genocide is not "decent".

I travel a lot, & one of the things that frustrates me is how random & arbitrary airline security rules are. Here are Swiss army knives for sale airside at Geneva airport. I could buy 20 & distribute them to passengers. But try flying *into* Geneva with a knife in your bag, and it will get taken.

Really inspiring to see South Korean workers strike to defend democracy and demand the resignation of YOON Suk Yeol after he declared martial law. These are shipbuilding workers at Hyundai Heavy Industries who are members of the Korean Metalworkers' Union.

I'm tired. I've been travelling for work. Two weeks on the road. 4 countries, 7 flights, 6 hotels, 1 missed connection, 18 days without a day off. It's good to be home.

Biden already razed Gaza. The weapons he supplied have killed 43,000 people, including 17,000 children. Just last week, the US vetoed another ceasefire. We will never forgive or forget.

I read this earlier, and noted that The Guardian had included checking for Israeli passports as examples of "singling out Jews".
