I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

When a progressive or DSA member launches a primary campaign against a sitting House Democrat, Hakeem Jeffries and other leaders go nuclear to defend that sitting member. But what if Republicans threaten a sitting Democrat with arrest after raiding her home? Same vigor and intensity, I'm sure, no?

I do think “Russians did Brexit” kind of simplifies and downplays the decades of “EU wants straight bananas” stories while ignoring any EU funded projects or consumer protection laws and platforming Farage in a “help him fake it till he makes it” way and also, the unchallenged xenophobia and racism

No worries, it's kind of endemic on bluesky. A lot of people are happy to use phobic insults towards people they see as fair game, it's one of the platform's less endearing cultural habits for me.

A statement from ex-Canary staff regarding late pay
tanding hora ay athe end dus so recie their inal months' wage along wilt any
The CEO of Canary Media Limited, Steve Topple, has refused to communicate with selected ex-members of staff. Instead, he has insisted on communication via a union rep due to a breakdown of trust.' However, Topple is now also ignoring emails from the union rep in question.
Not a single person who has worked at the Canary this year has had their pensions paid for 6 months and counting. Large numbers of ex-staff are still waiting for their final months' wages, holiday pay, and outstanding pension payments. How's that for a breakdown of trust?
The Canary has made headlines for claims that it has been debanked. Regardless of the debanking, the outlet still has a legal obligation to pay current and former staff what they are owed. Despite claiming that they would be ceasing operations, the Canary have continued to post articles, sponsored content, and social media posts.
This would suggest that Topple is choosing to pay some people, but not others. Or are the current staffers not being paid either? Is there money, or isn't there?
For a supposedly leftist organisation, it is a disgrace that current and former staff have had to rely so heavily on the NUJ and ACAS in order to deal with their unaccountable employer.
Rapidly, we are left with little alternative but to turn to small claims court.

A fascinating editorial decision from the BBC, to make the headline a scaremongering “AUTISM AND ADHD ARE BEING OVERDIAGNOSED”, and then, four bullet points later, have the author of the report quoted as essentially saying “nah, that’s bullshit, actually”.
ADHD and autism at risk of over-diagnosis, says report, as author warns of rise in mental ill health
Summary
• An official review in England finds there is a risk of people being over-diagnosed with
ADHD and autism - three key findings from the report
• As well as neurodevelopmental conditions, the review looks at mental ill health, particularly in younger people. Our health correspondent explains the difference
• It was commissioned earlier this year after Wes Streeting, then the health secretary, said there was an "over-diagnosis" of mental health conditions
• Speaking to Radio 4's Today programme earlier, review chair Prof Peter Fonagy said Streeting was "with respect, completely wrong"

No, George saying "for the sake of a slogan" suggests that he considers the motion to be an entirely performative action that will not meaningfully change the party's stance on Israel. Which is correct, since the party was already staunchly anti-zionist and pro-palestine.

So what you're saying is that you are in fact less disabled than me. Nothing I said was ableist, anyway. If someone had made porn art of me without my consent and a random stranger sent me it I would be majorly creeped out.

chappell roan atkinson @turpywurpy.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
I've literally made one comment, how is that "not leaving you alone"? Also I am disabled. Parasociality means treating someone you don't actually know as if you have a close and direct relationship to them. You wouldn't show a total stranger a series of pornographic images someone had made of them.

Well except there is, because relying on AI for coding makes outputs worse and degrades coders' abilities/stops them from learning in the first place. And all of that whilst also damaging the environment. As Evan said, there are scant few situations where AI's downsides are outweighed by benefits.

chappell roan atkinson @turpywurpy.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
Likewise, the Greens would go into a Lab coalition with a few focused priorities, and would have to compromise on other issues. They might even have to compromise on just watering down Labour's opposing views on those priorities, but that would still be better than nothing at all.

chappell roan atkinson @turpywurpy.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
free school meals for kids, and the blocking of national ID cards. Unfortunately the compromise was tuition fees increasing, and history shows that LDs backed the wrong horse in terms of what to stand firm on. But they *did* have influence, they just misjudged their priorities.

chappell roan atkinson @turpywurpy.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
No because as I said, all coalitions are compromises. You can't get your way on all things but you are able to stand your ground on the things that are most important to you. In coalition with the Tories, the LDs were able to secure a significant increase in the minimum threshold for income taxation
