Yes yes, @snellarthur.bsky.social - but what do you *really* think?

"It is clear that the overriding feature of Trump is his stupidity. Yes, he’s a sociopath, a child rapist, corrupt, vain, cruel and superficial. But most importantly, he’s an idiot."

What's the context? Thousands of people here appreciate what you do - I hope it can get sorted out and you keep posting here.

They don't need to "move left" in the sense of adopting Green policies. They do need to stop insulting their own voters. Not the same thing.

Reminder to parents:

Thursday is World Book Day*, so you don;t have much more time to argue with your child about why you're not buying more than 3 packs of 7 red feathers at Β£3.50 per pack from Hobbycraft to make a Fawkes the Phoenix costume.

Labour's swing toward racism is perhaps the biggest unforced error in British political history; burnt their base to ashes and won them not a single vote on the right.

I guess for us in smaller countries it's like "obviously we know we have to deal with big countries, but I'd rather deal with one that's not being a total dick to us"

I mean China probably is also being a dick, but Xi's not on telly going "I'm going to invade my allies and put tariffs on them"

Really do think its under-discussed how much the popular position in Europe and the UK isn't just becoming anti-American but actively pro-China by extension.

Having said that, I don't think the BBC did this on purpose. But if it was honestly missed, then their procedures for live events need looking at.

"People are speaking with certainty about conditions they do not understand. Disability advocacy demands empathy, and racial history demands reverence. These are not competing values, and we don’t have to choose one over another to exist. They are coexisting obligations."

BAFTA and BBC Let the N-Word Air on Tape Delay β€” Michael B. Jordan, Delroy Lindo, the Tourette’s Community and Viewers Deserve an Apology A Tourette’s-related outburst of the N-word aired during the BAFTAs despite tape delay. Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo are owed an apology.

The best take I've read on the BAFTAs incident:

So much that could be said on the 4th anniversary of the full scale invasion, but it all just boils down to the ultimate admiration for Ukrainians who have endured so much, fought so hard and deserve victory, peace and prosperity. Slava Ukraini!
