If bombing solved things, we'd have found out before now, I feel. It's certainly had enough tries at it.

The conservative candidate in last nights election was known literally for one thing; she led the anti trans activity in the police.

Seriously that was her background, and why Badenoch backed her. And what happened?

It’s time to give up the lie that transphobia is popular

Fun to remember that the dad of the BrontΓ«s was just a weird Irishman whose surname was actually Brunty, but he changed it up to be fancy.

Waiting for this news for a while now. RIP to a seemingly lovely man who brilliantly played an iconic character that defined the meaning of first love for a whole generation of young people. Thinking of his family as they say goodbye.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paulβ€”an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Says the gazillionaire who loves Britain so much he became tax resident in Monaco so he didn't have to contribute to Britain's resources. Physician, heal thyself.

I’m sorry but what did libertarians think that the anonymous money laundering racism coin that you could only functionally use for illicit activity was doing other than this, exactly

If you care about Don Lemon, don't forgot Mario Guevara (reporter who was filming police at a No Kings rally in June) was targeted for his journalistic activity; detained for 112 days; and deported. He had no criminal charges against him and was on the path to getting a green card.

The cognitive dissonance for people who directly worked on buffer zone laws but now share a transphobic belief system with people like KJK must be dizzying.

With more material from the Epstein files released today, I feel compelled to remind us that NI had its own version. It was called Kincora Boys Home and there are powerful ppl walking around today who are very glad that email didn't exist when they were abusing children and having it covered up. πŸ’”

To those saying, "but the Greens will split the vote":
1. Things have changed.
2. It's not the Green's fault that Starmer has the Merdas Touch (turns everything to shit)
3. When the Greens offer the only inspiring option, perhaps we should see the Labour candidate as splitting the vote.

I am baffled by this. You could pedestrianise it with a bollard at each end. Make it a wee retractable one if deliveries need in. How is this hard?!
