a white neon sign spelling “YES YES” glows against a dark background, with visible wiring and a power box beneath. The Broken Spine logo sits top left, “@thebrokenspine.co.uk” appears top right, and the lower right text reads: “Read Repost Reply #POEMSABOUT #CONSENT”.
#PoemsAbout #Consent starts Friday.
Write the clarity.
The moment the body relaxes because it’s heard.
The heat that arrives only after agreement.
Consent isn’t the absence of refusal.
It’s the presence of want.
Draft now.

Lol. Indeed.
A sharply focused Eurasian magpie stands alert on a weathered tree stump, its glossy black head and back contrasting with a bright white shoulder and belly. The bird’s pale grey bill and dark, watchful eye are turned slightly to the side, giving it an inquisitive expression. Soft green foliage blurs into the background, isolating the magpie’s striking black-and-white plumage while a few blades of grass sprout from the textured stump beneath its feet.
Good morning. Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Corvidae any bird of the Corvid family. The alt is #LongNecks any bird with a long neck. Good luck. #birds #photography #ECK
She was looking at trends no one, at all, in power bothered to fix and went "what does another 20 years of this look like?"
And that was over 20 years ago. In that time the rot has only accelerated, the finding out part more damaging.

Octavia Butler said her "I want to write about what's going to happen if we keep doing what we've been doing" in *2004*.
She looked at problems that, even back then, had not been at all addressed for decades, and went "what do they look after 30 more years of rot"
Neither do Reform, as far as I can tell, despite the fact they've proven time after time they fall to pieces as soon as they come in contact with local authority reality
Also... it's odd because pretty much everyone is putting out vibes-based messaging. The appetite for detailed wonk-ish stuff is pretty limited.
But Labour and the Tories never get this Ready For Governance carping.
Could someone involved in the Human Authored project explain why the holding page uses LLM-extruded imagery? And ideally... stop doing that?

💔 If you’re worried about this awful U.S. imposed war in the Middle East and you feel helpless to do anything…
…you can support a family in Gaza at the Al Mawasi refugee camp.❤️🩹
💔The war is causing food shortages, spiking costs.
Medicine is already limited.💔
❤️🩹 Help this family survive! DONATE!! ❤️🩹

Netanyahu isn't even trying to pretend he wants to engage in nation rebuilding. He wants all neighbouring countries whose territory he craves or regards as an even vague threat to be reduced to rubble and chaos.

Power for People is coordinating a national campaign for Government legislation to support community energy projects to sell energy directly to local homes and businesses.
This would make many more projects possible and create the opportunity for local people to buy affordable clean energy generated in their community.
In recent months, welcome words from Ministers in Parliament together with the release of the Local Power Plan, show encouraging signs of the Government’s intention to make this reform. However, there has been no detail or timeline outlining when the Government will turn that intent into a reality. That’s why Power for People is building support from MPs with Early Day Motion (EDM) 2151 ‘Buying Community Energy Locally’. This is a Parliamentary motion which allows MPs to publicly record their support for the reform. EDM 2151 has now been signed by over 100 MPs. As more MPs come on board, the more effective it will be in persuading the Government to legislate for this change they keep saying they want to make.

Yes, yes he's a massive antisemite blah blah but the thing is he's an even more humongous Islamophobe so, you know...
Tommy Robinson is writing for Jerusalem Post, and that makes some people uncomfortable - opinion When journalism abandons the debate over ideas and focuses instead on policing who is permitted to speak, the search for truth quietly gives way to the enforcement of acceptable opinion. Tommy Robinson wears a UTK logo ("Unite The Kingdom") on his clothes as he is seen at a rally in solidarity with protesters in Iran on January 11, 2026 in London, England.

Robinson had previously tried to address “the Jewish Question” in a 2022 article which he deleted shortly afterwards. He divided the Jews into two types – acceptable ones and disreputable ones. He particularly had it in for the Anti-Defamation League – in his eyes a cesspit of Jewish liberalism and subversion internationally.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
They're platforming an ACTUAL NAZI NOW
I'm laughing to keep from screaming

Hi, it's Mohamed's friend.
Happy International Women's Day from both of us. He writes, "Believe me, the last time I remembered this day was in 2023. / The war came and distracted us from many things we used to celebrate."
Let's make sure his family will have a beautiful Eid at least.
