Yeah, Lib Dems in my council are doing their best to kill disabled people and the elderly in order to keep power, acting as meat shields to the Torys. They cannot be trusted, ever.

Tulips, tulips, everywhere tulips

Why won't somebody do something asks second most powerful person in Holyrood after ignoring the calls from progressive feminists for years.

When it was those other sorts of women it was a personal failing...now that a conservative woman is harmed it's EVERYONES problem.

Everyone gets pulled to the right when the right is dominating politically and socially and it requires active conscious effort to resist going with that (and some people just willingly go with the flow)

Checked the news and it's like "your first minister is giving bribes to genocial rapists, the far right are marching in your city centre, and your old school is base camp for Trump's security"

Gestures at SSEN pylons and substations, BESS sites and turbine substations.

Then, gestures at GP surgery closed, sheltered housing closed, busses missing, church closing, businesses closing, giant holes in the roads to dodge in between caravans of HGV.

Whenever people talk about how folks need financial incentives to do anything, I think about how one of our most valuable institutions is entirely volunteer driven

We were told these golf courses in Aberdeenshire were going to be great for the economy, create huge numbers of jobs, and be a huge benefit to Scotland.

Instead they are simply a way for a rich American sex offender to syphon money out of our public purse.

Our village health centre was closed because we couldn't cover a £7000 bill...but we can give a felon and billionaire hundreds of thousands.

High wages will harm the future profits of the HC companies he's planning to let take over the NHS.

in fact many of us would be delighted to get rid of sexual predator bill clinton

you’re threatening us with a good time here

First world problem, I know, but seriously...It is horrible trying to lane swim with people who don't follow Lane etiquette. It is doubly horrible to try and do it while visually impaired.

swerf and anti-porn sentiments have been allowed to fester for far too long. they are fundamentally reactionary positions and anyone who espouses them should be seen and treated as a reactionary without caveat

And burning a lot of money on AI slop if they're anything like UoA (the three item lists are...telling)

Kings College Aberdeen with cgi aurora and mismatched text saying Go Beyond Boundaries

Or the University of Aberdeen...

An hour. It's been an entire hour waiting on a bus that takes 20 min to get to my stop

45 mins...no Stagecoach busses. Plenty of other routes, just stagecoach failures

So, I paid more than £10 for a commuter bus ticket. The bus is 20 min late and when it arrived it was full and not stopping

Yet @abshirecouncil.bsky.social hand cash over to these companies for their "services" instead of running their own

The message is clear - if you want policies that oppose genocide, prevent further climate change, redistribute wealth and favour rights for all rather than just the privileged, you have to vote Scottish Greens.

There is no other option.

Farage should never be interviewed without being forced to answer for failures of Brexit. That the man whose lies fuelled Brexit vote which has cost UK Billions & who said Liz Truss budget was “best Tory budget since 1986” could be trusted on *anything* is mind-boggling #bbclaura

"Vote for someone who is harming you right now because the other guy might harm me later" is at the heart of every Labour and Democrat supporter currently shouting at trans people for refusing to endorse their politicians.

So, you need 6 armed men to escort an OAP for holding up a sign, but Police Scotland cannot afford to deal with dangerous driving anywhere else in Scotland.

Spinoza'd the wash

Do I wear high heels? No.

Do I now have a burning desire for lady spats? Yes.

If Basic Income existed, it would be easier to abolish prisons, many military projects, and unnecessary law enforcement. People would not be dependent on these jobs to survive.

It would also give them freedom to leave jobs that mistreat them.

All of this is why rich/powerful people don't want UBI.

The frustrating thing about global warming is that we really don’t need more new tech than we have. We will get better tech, I am sure—we are innovating in spite ourselves.

But we already know what we need to do. It’s just that fossil fuel companies suck.

Climate change *is* happening because of the progress in the twentieth century. That’s why we should keep progressing.

Counterpoint: the last time we switched fuels we saved a ton of lives and cleaned up our air.

We can do it again.
