A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time:

Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves.
Q: Why are you running away?
Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels.
Q: But you’re foxes!
Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

Well done Ian. This is absolutely massive. It could affect everyone.

Starmer confirming the UK is willing to put boots on the ground in Ukraine. An immense moment. Hard to overstate how important this is or how impressive it is that he's done it.

GB News Hit by Guest Boycott After Hosts Label LGBT+ People 'Paedos' and 'Deviants' There was a flurry of Ofcom complaints after a series of offensive remarks by presenters on the right-wing channel

A tweet from Pop Base reporting on Anders Vistisen, a European Parliament member, responding to Donald Trump’s interest in purchasing Greenland. The quote reads, "Listen very carefully... [Greenland] is not for sale. Let me put it in words you might understand — Mr. Trump, f*** off." The image includes photos of Anders Vistisen on the left and Donald Trump on the right.

I’m glad he said it!

each other, and we mustn’t blame the victims of discrimination, and the prejudice the other side has wielded, as the cause of our electoral defeat. Those who do so are cowards who cannot see the forest from the trees.
