Messaged a colleague on MS Teams today to say “let me know if you want to get lunch next week”. It autocorrected “lunch” to “lucky” 😳😳😳😳😳

Netanyahu walks in at the UN, and everyone walks out. This one is actually TODAY, about 8 minutes ago.

Everyone, stop what you are doing. I've discovered there is a politician called Teresa May running for city council in British Columbia. And this is from one of her campaign videos. Never have two people with the same name had such different vibes.

Here's today's column on the astonishing, ongoing mistreatment of people with #ME/CFS. Please spread it far and wide: the only thing which can break the media's wall of indifference is seeing an article about the issue go viral. Thank you. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Abandoned, dismissed and gaslighted: there is no excuse for the way ME sufferers have been betrayed | George Monbiot
Changes in guidance and science seem to have little impact on millions of devastated lives. It’s a social crisis playing out behind closed doors, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Fuck all fascists and those who parrot the phrase "legitimate concerns". A fucking burning planet, genocide and "tech bros" are legitimate concerns, terrorising people who have absolutely fuck all is not.

🤔 Protester Terrorist
Hundreds of protesters, dressed in black and wearing face coverings, blocked roads in the Port of Dover and chanted "stop the boats" on 6 September 2026. There were no arrests.

Whilst Andy Burnham has found the time to opine on such vital issues as 'vertical drinking', and whether a bread roll should be called a ‘barm’, he has not found the time to comment on some of the worst racist violence on Britain's streets in the postwar period www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/illegitima...

This has made me so angry. It's time NHS staff were properly protected from these people who should be banned from accessing NHS treatment. Let them pay for a 'white' clinician if they want one so badly (and hopefully they'll struggle to find one- be an ally!) news.sky.com/story/nhs-st...

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

It's obvious to point out attacks against Muslims get ignored - but still needs repeatedly calling out. An Antisemitic attack should be reported and action taken. But where is the same media outrage, cobra meetings and calling of national emergency when 5 Muslims are attacked?
