Dear style guide creators/admins. Please require that no one starts a sentence with 'al' because it reads like AI. Also use dots in A.I.
@dorianlynskey.bsky.social @iandunt.bsky.social because this is a subject you have looked at in detail, I would really appreciate your thoughts.
I made a video about fascism in America.

A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says “they’re having problems with their economy again.”
This is from 1975.
Used it for two weeks, no noticeable difference but I'm not exactly a power user.
I'm seriously so fucking sick of people using the e-bikers are lazy trope. And even if you *are* able-bodied and use an e-bike, who the fuck cares? Getting somewhere faster and not all sweaty is fantastic.

Graph from UK government showing the nationalities of people crossing in boats. “Top 10 nationalities claiming asylum in the UK in the YE December 2025, by route of entry to the UK”
And Iranians already make up the third highest category of those crossing in small boats. #bbclaurak

There is “no evidence that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is overdiagnosed in the UK” and the condition could even be “underdiagnosed”, a team of experts has said

Looking forward to welcoming @zackpolanski.bsky.social to the NEU conference this year.
Green party policy on education is exactly what our young people need. And exactly what I speak on at conference every year.
It's one of the reasons I'm a green party activist.

STATEMENT 1/
Last night, the Metropolitan Police raided the Westminster Quaker Meeting house – again. This time, they targeted Take Back Power's direct action training. There were 15 arrests.
Westminster Meeting House raided by Metropolitan Police again. Statement: “For Quakers, faith and action are inseparable. Peaceful protest, prayer and nonviolent action are integral parts of many Quakers' religious life. Whilst we take the planning of criminal acts very seriously, we believe that this incident is a deliberate targeting of committed young people who want to make our country a more equitable place. This raid is part of a systematic stifling of dissent. That this is the second time in a year that the police have raided our meeting house dramatically illuminates the broader trend in the UK of cracking down on those who disagree with the government. The right to protest is fundamental to our democracy. It's a key part of how people make their voices heard between elections.” – Oliver Robertson, Head of Witness and Worship Quakers in Britain, 5 March 2026
Yesterday evening, for the second time in a year, the Met Police raided Westminster Quaker Meeting House and arrested a number of young nonviolent activists.

Again, Farage, Badenoch and their fellow travellers on X are wildly out of touch with the public on Iran.
Even the majority of Reform supporters oppose their position.
Embarrassing shit like tweeting the Pope as if he's going to read it takes me back to the early days of Twitter. As does the existence of Louise Mensch
OK, the Gorton and Denton by-election, I have some thoughts!
Let's take a look at some of the FACTS and burst a few of the more ridiculous takes doing the rounds
But first up, can we acknowledge just what bad losers Reform are?!🤣
Right, let's get started...

In order to understand UK politics in 2026 you must realise that a plumber & plasterer doesn't represent the interests of the working class because she is left-wing but a wealthy broadcaster & former academic does represent the interests of the working class because he is right-wing. Hope this helps
@andymitten.bsky.social catching up on podcasts, you are always welcome and the LNER to see York City, I can sort you a ticket whenever you are free. The beer is good too, local Brew York options.
Brendan O'Neill Hannah Spencer combines the spirit of CBeebies with the politics of Gaza The new Green MP campaigned in Urdu and appealed to the communal fury of Muslim voters
Brendan O'Neill Published 28 February 2026 8:00am GMT If Queers for Palestine were a person, it would be Hannah Spencer. No one better sums up the dimness and sheer vacuity of the modern Left than the new MP for Gorton and Denton. There she is in her blue jeans and trendy trainers dancing awkwardly as Muslim men who dream of wrapping her sinful body in a black cloak look on with restrained fury
If we’re ever going to get out of this, the British media class must be destroyed
That book is 'The Political Subject of Violence.' edited by David
Campbell and Michael Dillon if anyone anywhere has access to it.
I'm guessing this means congratulations on the new job. I wonder where it might be...
As the analysis starts of the Gorton and Denton result, I wanted to flag some aspects that my experience yesterday suggests are being over or under-played
(Caveats - I went to Longsight, Gorton and Denton town centres and spoke to as many people as I could, but it was mostly during the working day)
I'm not sure policy-based attacks work until you are big enough to win a majority in the commons.
Greens are getting over the 'too small' hump and are now at the 'not enough experience' phase. This is why the Tory defections to reform were important, they can now say they have experience in cabinet.
People like lily have been living, playing cricket and being an active participant in communities as a woman for years. Maybe even decades. Let's help lily the coach, the player and the woman go back to her life before this terrible ruling.

You can think of APR and AER as the equivalent of simple interest over one year. An account with monthly compound interest is the same as an account with simple interest at the AER over the period of exactly one year.
