Occasional humour and plenty of ranting on inequality, international issues and climate breakdown. Please don't follow me if all you want is to ask for money. Sorry but it's impossible to know who is scamming! I donate to MAP. I follow back.

Dear America,

You are not cool. You live in a fucked up Top Gun movie. You believe the hype of your government that America is somehow highly revered across the globe.

You are not.

Like any bully, you are despised.

Sincerely,

The Rest of the World

It's taken a while to realise it, but there can be no other plausible explanation: the majority of white westerners don't really care if people with brown skin are being slaughtered in their thousands.

They hate how much support Iran gave the Palestinians, and they have a lot more territory that they’re planning to steal, so they’re taking Iran out before embarking on the rest of the Greater Israel expansion.

YouGov/Sky News/Times voting intention

*Greens leapfrog Labour into second place*

RefUK 23% (-1)
GRN 21% (+4)
LAB 16%(-2)
CON 16%(-2)
LDEM 14%(nc),

This is the highest poll result for the Greens, the first time they are in second, and the worst poll result in years for Labour

Hannah Spencer & the Green Party HAVE WON in Gorton and Denton!! 😍

-Two party politics is dead

-The majority of people choose hope over division if the choice is clear

-The Greens can beat Reform in working class communities let down by Labour

-We can stop Farage being PM

Polling shows that the Greens absolutely smash Reform anytime it's a two horse race, just like it should be in Gorton & Denton. But Labour is deliberately splitting the left vote and it's doing it by VERY dirty tactics. Labour want reform to win over the Greens. It's so obvious.

Big respect and congratulations to Hollie Davidson, the first ever female referee in the six nations. She's had a brilliant game and hopefully she'll be called on for many more six nations games.

Twenty years from now kids won't believe that there was a time when everyone paid in cash without every penny being digitally trackable.

Will you be able to say you did your best to keep cash going by actually using it, instead of opting for convenience, over civil liberty?

Anyone else feel that Christmas stuff now starting so early (late November) makes everyone actually feel less Christmassy?

Are you being philosophical with the AI does not exist thing?

1) AI didn't create itself - it's evolving from technology humans created of course

2) Very optimistic, but hope you are right

3) You don't have kids then?

If Mary and Joseph set off for Bethlehem in December 2025 they'd have to face 15 Israeli checkpoints manned by genocidal soldiers and a 30 foot concrete wall.

Cheery thought for the day? 😬

Terrifying to think that humans have created AI and AI will mean cyborgs, cyborgs will be as different to us as we are to Neanderthals, and humanity as we know it will cease to exist. No dystopian film has come close to how bad it could be for humans.

If the ones in charge won't do something to ban Israel from the competition the people will make them know they're not welcome here, anywhere.

I've been disenchanted by party politics over the last few years but listening to the Zack Polanski interviews this morning I decided 'why the hell not'.
Labour have so willingly dragged the overton window to the right that is vital to get behind genuinely left platforms
