Thanks for making this video @taylorlorenz.bsky.social lets hope people listen and not accuse you of "calling everything you disagree with eugenics" and such as they did me and @xriskology.bsky.social 🙄

I don't know how much evidence people need.

Hmm, it's fascinating that my first-in-the-family postgrad degrees suddenly define me as middle class everywhere except in the universities which awarded them where being too autistic to internalise the class prejudices of those around me causes no end of stress. I'm retired now so fuck 'em!

Apparently we've been underestimating bovine ingenuity!

Anyone who insists on taking what you’re willing to lend cannot honestly be called a friend or ally. Appeasement and bending the knee have run their course. Europe’s best chance now is to push back against Trump. The era of gentle diplomacy is over.

‘Brazen’ political influence of rich laid bare as wealth of billionaires reaches $18.3tn, says Oxfam Governments opting for oligarchy while brutally repressing protests over austerity and lack of jobs, charity report says The world saw a record number of billionaires created last year, with a collective wealth of $18.3tn (£13.7tn), while global efforts stalled in the fight against poverty and hunger. Oxfam’s annual survey of global inequality has revealed that the number of billionaires surpassed 3,000 for the first time during 2025. Since 2020, their collective wealth grew by 81%, or $8.2tn, which the charity claims would be enough to eradicate global poverty 26 times over. Continue reading...

Without the full article I'm not sure if they're bothered about the cost of their ludicrously complicated diagnostic process or of non-existent adult support. Probably it's SEND in which case providing SOLE would be better for autistic kids /and/ cheaper than the current cruel and negligent system

Just in case you see this headline and agree with it. Undiagnosed and untreated ADHD costs billions. There’s no money being saved here #ADHD #NHS

Well if the roster on the Gaza "board of peace" doesn't tip you off on Trump's intention to ransack the "Gaza Riviera" the $1bn ticket for permanent board membership certainly will :

Watching the Jenrick Press Conference:

Really hoping a journalist asks him in the manner of Mrs Merton:

"What was it about losing the Tory leadership contest that helped you realise that the Tories had broken Britain?"

What you’re witnessing is a populist assault on the BBC.

This is not an institutional scandal in any meaningful sense of the word. It is an attack on public service broadcasting.

Millions of us are still struggling to access affordable NHS dental care. I’ve signed 38 Degrees’ petition demanding Keir Starmer properly funds NHS dentistry now, will you join me? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/fu...

Totally! Important to get out of a doomed/saved binary, and work out what we can do practically to make the world as livable as we can for everyone and everything

Thinking you're not already doomed makes not being doomed much more likely! And I think this holds for politics as much as nature. Every little helps! www.thegef.org/newsroom/pre...

USA Republicans did nothing to control MAGA because MAGA was electorally successful. Ditto Johnson in the UK. Yes, Starmer, you can't govern if you can't get elected but you also can't govern if you have subordinated your party to lawless authoritarian voters and nerd reich think tank funders
