"Vice President Cheney: Now, I think things have gotten so bad inside Iraq, from the standpoint of the Iraqi people, my belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators."

The rhymes of history.

Yeah, and partly that was down to a set of completely unfit-for-purpose disciplinary procedures as well as internal resistance. The GCs usual "sue absolutely everyone for absolutely everything" tactic didn't help either.

Yeah, and to be fair, it did take the Green Party a VERY long time (Shahrar Ali et al) to get its own house in order and become that political home.

I was thinking about this yesterday when I was at a Green Party action day in Cardiff. I was struck by the amount of trans people who turned up to help knock doors and deliver leaflets.

Makes sense. Start attacking people's rights and it's no surprise if they suddenly get politically active.

I will defeat Joshua Anthony in the ring just as soon as he stops hitting me.

Sharks are looking at this graph like, "I told you I was framed."

Also, freshwater snails? What the fuck?

The Strait of Hormuz is open for transit, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said. "The only thing prohibiting transit in the straits right now is Iran shooting at shipping," he said. "It is open for transit should Iran not do that."

The only thing keeping me from being a vegetarian is my continually eating meat.

We all read "USS Ford on fire" as "we didn't start the fire" didn't we?

Shame can be a destructive emotion, but this is what a culture without shame looks like.

And it's consistently rewarded and indulged.

Techbros will literally consider any possible solution other than "invest in electric vehicles and renewable energy."

This verse of "We Didn't Start the Fire" sucks ass.

"It's incredible how the young are all shifting to the right," say two candidates who received an absolute electoral drubbing from the Greens.

If I was Maya Forstater, and I had dedicated my life to decimating the rights trans people have in this country by claiming they pose some kind of safety threat to women, I probably wouldn’t pay money to be surrounded by a group I claim to be so frightened of and that pose an inherent safety risk.

Aber to Carmarthen rail link backed as report calls for major transport investment A fresh report has backed plans to reinstate the Aberystwyth to Carmarthen railway as part of calls to invest major funds in transport in Wales. Chris Betteley reports.

This is welcome news, but to be honest I'll believe it when I see it. They've been talking about rebuilding the Aber to Carmarthen line since the 90s.

My own feeling on the issue - was it his finest hour? Probably not. Is it the sort of thing that would be a deal breaker for me? No, not really. It's an old, rather dumb story that doesn't involve predation or criminal activity. I'd rather judge him on what he's doing now.

I presume the convo went like this:

"To work with the Trump admin we'll need a pathetic syncophant. A dead-eyed toad with no dignity or self-reflection. A real arsehole."

"Mandelson?"

"Perfect!"

God, he "just wants to have a conversation" with anyone who thinks incinerating the entire Middle East may be a bit sub-optimal.
