I think some people use the argument that there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism as an excuse to engage in consumption that is intentionally unethical, as a way to assuage their guilt
I would like someone - a journalist, a backbencher, an opposition leader - to ask the prime minister to defend this, explicitly.
It wouldn’t be so funny if it didn’t have two ex candidates who lost to the left wing party most popular with young people
There’s one in Glasgow that has a Leeds branch and it’s £35 with a burger but here the limit is 4 drinks
There’s a limit on how much you get served
The Fourth Consort by Edward Ashton - same author as Mickey 7 (humans lying also comes up)
This meme has done such irreparable damage to my psyche I can’t agree with someone normally anymore
Surely there will come a point when people realise the inaccuracies, the energy use, the data scraping just aren’t worth it
This is insane, there’s no evidence that Mothin Ali supports the Iranian government and nothing to suggest he’s an antisemite. Then there’s irony of a Tory MP saying that under a plaque commemorating a murdered MP
My favourite sci fi is where humans are the weird ones for some reason, authors generally settle on us being weird cause we can lie but one book I read it was shoulders that made us weird
That guy who tweeted Star Wars wasn’t political before realising the US is the empire is currently crying and vomiting so thanks for that Trump
If you've watched how NHS England - stuffed, as Kemi Badenoch explicitly told us, with her handpicked transphobes - does trans* healthcare you can't be surprised by this from @erininthemorning.com.
But still, it's an important service to see her lay it all out.
Don’t listen to Chris, all his opinions are bad
Only 3 away!
🚨 WATCH: Labour MP Charlotte Nichols reveals she was raped as an MP as she opposes the jury trial reforms
"I waited 1,088 days to go to court. We've been told [by the Government] that if we have concerns about this Bill, it's because we've not been raped"
That feels exceptionally passive aggressive
Any time soon they'll be embracing 15 minute cities
Oh that’s an iconic and historic bridge
Donald J Trump and Vladimir Putin are going to have long and healthy lives, don’t you agree?
Kinda ironic that I posted this just half an hour after yet another fire took out yet another historic building. Glasgow is safe but the managed decline is becoming less managed
The station itself is separate and didn’t catch fire, I don’t think it’s as bad as it looked
Making conversion therapy the official NHS policy for trans youth
I hope this leads to politicians taking urban planning in Glasgow seriously. You can’t separate the historic buildings disappearing from the hollowing out of high streets or the extortionate price of buses anymore
To balance out, the national’s coverage is even worse
It took the BBC six hours to notice it was a major news story, ~two million people without trains
wait til the disruption starts hitting euston trains tomorrow, then we'll hear about it
not to be all “if this is were in London” but if this were Kings Cross- which has similar levels of traffic and history- it would absolutely be all over everyone’s news
I’m also really angry that the BBC didn’t start their live coverage until 9:55, this is a massive fire, visible all across one of the largest cities in the country, shutting off transport for over 2m people, not a side story!
Ban vape shops, ban vapes
I think this deserves at least as much sustained attention from US media as Claudine Gay's dissertation
