Sebastian Midence @sebastianmidence.bsky.social · 13/07/2026I was curious how many U.S. representatives and senators had died in office, so naturally I turned to Wikipedia. At first I was like, "Wow, seventeen have died in the first six years of this decade, while only twelve died in the entire 2010s?" BUT THEN en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...en.wikipedia.orgList of members of the United States Congress who died in office (2000–present) - Wikipedia 100

I've been critical of the way Labour have talked about trans issues so here's me giving credit where it's due again - this is exactly what we need to see from them, thank you Georgie! 48538

Sebastian Midence @sebastianmidence.bsky.social · 31/01/2026@qtheatre.bsky.social I was dismayed to learn that the disgraced American comedian Chris D'Elia is scheduled to perform at your venue on 27 February. Perhaps news of his sexual misconduct didn't make it down here to NZ? I would suggest you reconsider the booking. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_D... 154
