fair enough, but personally I don’t think that abusive sex tourism hypocisy has any ideological or cultural bias. What is notable though is the change in the power dynamic between abuser and abused in the relationship between Russia and China

Not sure what country you come from but I would be careful casually throwing stones around in this greenhouse

Vienna 1683 seems like one of the more consequential defended sieges - preventing the Ottomans moving into central Europe.

Point me in the direction of a teaching union response to any education initiative that didn't start with a moan about funding and I will genuinely reconsider

This is such a disappointingly negative response. Nothing about what is best for our young people just a predictable instant moan about the funding. One of the many reasons why any public sector reform is almost impossible and as a result the public sector loses more and more credibility.

Kurt Vonnegut's advice to high schoolers: “Practice any art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction... no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience BECOMING, to find out what’s inside you, to MAKE YOUR SOUL GROW.”

The imperative was to soothe the markets. We are in a zero sum scenario with the interests of society in a loosing competition with the interests of capital. It will take an exceptional politician to rebalances things, or a war / depression, gulp.

Robert Gros made £27m selling useless gowns via the VIP PPE Lane, of course he never paid back a penny, he bought 2 mansions instead. RT and see if we can make him as famous as Michelle Mone.

Economic illiterate here so please be kind…..Do things improve dramatically for the Russian economy if either USA or China turn on a huge lending tap?

If I were Putin I would be worried that the only outcome of this Greenland nonsense is that Europe will genuinely galvanise itself. Although Russia is already finished as a 'power', it is only a matter of how much damage they cause (particularly to Ukraine) as they go.

I love the covers for the new editions of Agnes Owens' novels, which I think all use Joan Eardley paintings. @aowensarchive.bsky.social

Agnes Owens is wonderful. The forgotten figure from those writing groups in Glasgow led by Philip Hobsbaum that included Jim Kelman, Jeff Torrington, Alasdair Gray, and Liz Lochhead. Saw her at an event with Kelman in Edinburgh once where she challenged his literary takes, & silenced him.

Yes I’m just hearing legitimate concerns from real voters

At the clinic we put them in a Grass-Touching Pod, with a real voter to talk to

Divide and rule. Same in the UK. Anyone who thinks Farage and Reform are on the side of working people is two sandwiches short of a picnic.

I geuinely do not understand how the completely different characteristics between small local v large national are not front and centre of any discussion about the voluntary / third sector. I suspect it is because all the power (like the revenue) to drive the narrative lies with the nationals

Tam Linn @tamlinn.bsky.social · 05/09/2025
The article doesn't distinguish between the small, local community based organisations and the large nationals that are professionalised and commercialised to the point where they have largely lost any civic accoutability.

The banks lost billions in 2008, 'lost where?', 'who got that money?', 'why can we not get it back?'. The fact that our state institutions do not even ask these questions never mind attempt to answer them fundamentally undermines their trutworthiness and credibility.

I'm not big on eulogising, especially not politicians, but watching Zelensky eat that dullards shit is possibly the bravest, most noble thing I have ever seen.

Deeply shocked by Israel’s deliberate killing of the Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif, his colleague Mohammed Qreiqeh and cameramen Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal and Moamen Aliwa. Israel has now killed at least 186 journalists in this war.
