Thanks @monkemma.bsky.social these debunking explainer threads are so important. They’re useful for me & anyone else who is trying to halt their relatives’ gradual slide into geriatric fascism. The fact that they have to lie to secure the people’s support is a small glimmer of hope in a bleak world
Ffs. Try using that defence in a bar fight. It’s precisely that ridiculous.
The only sad part of this is how easy it is to be gentle and kind yet often people choose not to be. This person eloquently lays out the powerful impact of his reaction- we could all be like this, it’s not difficult and what a wonderful world we could build.
Daisy has your back.
Cute fur babies still in bed this morning sending love from the UK.
Both Political parties represent their donors - a small group of rich people who want the proles quietly & calmly controlled versus those who want them publicly & cruelly controlled- either way most of them believe we only exist for them to exploit in order to grow their wealth - until we revolt!
Maybe you’re right about military policies but a lot of poor kids see it as a way out. Bad people, deceived & wrong ppl even evil ppl get old, sick & need help sometimes. Compassion is not only for those you agree with. That logic that leads to ICE. Nurses are heroes whoever they care for.
If the very wealthy are concerned about crime - paying more tax, reducing wealth inequality & ensuring everyone has a home, food to eat & access to healthcare would be the most effective response. Creating a police state & Organising society to benefit a small subset of ppl and screw the rest isn’t
Thanks. I’ll use that line next time I speak to my Dad 😂
I hate this kinda shit. People make different choices it’s ok. I said to my family that I’m not a dragon so I don’t count my value in the size of the gold pile I sit on. I’m human so I count my value in the people I help & the love that I share. That shut them up for precisely half a family meal 😂

CBS pulled the 60 Minutes CECOT segment, but Canada aired it anyway.
The segment was streaming via Global TV and YouTube (since taken down). Having a VPN set to Canada helped. 🇨🇦
My take, there is no reason we shouldn’t see this. Most of it was known information, easily searchable.

More essential than ever. The fact that the far right have become mainstream also enables them
To hide in plain sight. The m/s media say things like ‘has been Accused of having far right views which he denies’ as if that’s all we could ever know about an avowed nazi
I’m five foot six, male, very happily married but have been out with women taller & shorter than me. To paraphrase Maya Angelou ‘people won’t remember how tall you are, they’ll remember how you make them feel’ but then again, maybe that’s the real problem.
@socialistdogmom.bsky.social is the most wholesome part of my timeline and for that I’m very grateful 😍
So many questions…
Or - crazy idea- maybe we could emit less carbon by reducing fossil fuel use
And if your child doesn’t want you at their wedding it’s maybe a good opportunity to reflect on your relationship and your own behaviour to consider why rather than immediately dismissing anything they have to say and jumping to blaming them for being the problem- like you usually do.
It makes me very happy that you’re doing an episode on Diogenes. Thanks 😍
Now we can all see why that poor woman had to go no contact with her mother.
Barney always gave me the creeps. Anyone that constantly cheerful and upbeat is inherently suspicious
Was it just me that initially read that as 9mm ? That would be a very different kind of donation
This might be the bullshit source of Elon’s figures. No references and it’s talking about white men only (as if they believe women don’t count) no explanation of how they’re defining white. You know the highly contested, ever changing, subjective abstract category with no real meaning.
the exponential growth of the global pop means at worst. ON HIS FIGURES - the ‘white’ population hasn’t changed much in a century
1925 2 billion 35% is 0.75 billion
1975 4 billion 20% is 0.8 billion
2000 6 billion 15% is 0.9 billion
2025 8.2 billion 8% is 0.66 billion
Hardly extinction
Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.
Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph
Because this does NOT add up!
No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

They go around selecting people to ‘audit’ & count how often people swear… but why???? In a world where some people want to restrict humanness to a few to the point of extermination & forced exile in a time of billionaire funded hatred why quibble over nouns, verbs & adjectives you consider vulgar
I remember in 1983 the vivid horror of that lesson where Mrs Whitaker used Dulce at Decorum Est & an English lesson to turn a group of kids into radical pacifists. Laid on the floor eyes closed as she talked us through Owen’s nightmare of trench warfare. One of the most important hours of my life.
Careful - don’t drink anything he give you. He’s been preparing for this for years 😂
