Day #150: Dune (1984)

Girls are going to go out in that rain tonight wearing heels and a tiny dress and they are braver than the entire Marine Corps.

If the government are rejecting (for now) the EHRC's guidance, where does that leave NI schools? The DUP Education minister unilaterally decided to order discrimination against trans kids, pre-empting any assessment by the Equality Commission here, as the Equality Act doesn't apply

"you have your perspective and I have my truth" bro just call each other motherfuckers

“The poorly but enthusiastically sculpted Samhain turnip earrings I made a few years ago? Yeah, I am.”

A *coal ship* named #ClimateJustice…
They are literally laughing at us as we burn, drown, and starve.
We are truly in the darkest timeline.
(The name? The ship has an emissions scrubber, so it pollutes *slightly* less, & the fleet it is part of *sometimes* uses #biofuel)

So why does the BBC label the academic and economist Faiza Shaheen an "activist" but refuse to do the same for the former academic, turned anti-migrant activist Matt Goodwin?

FOOTAGE OF HUNDREDS OF ASYLUM SEEKERS EATING TAXPAYER FUNDED MEALS

My brothers in Christ. Where do you think the salaries for civil servants, MPs, police officers, soldiers, teachers, doctors, nurses, librarians, traffic wardens, prison guards, social workers etc comes from

Fucking racist cunts.

ECHR Withdrawal Motion graphic. 96 votes for, 154 against.

Graphic of party voting for an against ECHR Withdrawal Motion.

The road to fascism is paved with complacency. Yesterday, only 63 Labour MPs bothered to show up and vote no on Nigel Farage’s motion to withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights.

This is political cowardice and evidences a party that is completely unserious on preventing fascism. [1/2]

Police drop inquiry after man assaulted removing flags Tensions over divisive flag displays have erupted into violence in Norfolk, as police face criticism for inaction

Violence over street flags continues. A 68-year-old was brutally attacked and hospitalised while trying to take banners down, yet despite retrieving evidence from a house, police took no further action.

Lasair Dhearg have apparently planned a Palestine protest to coincide with Remembrance Sunday events at City Hall and the turbobrains of the DUP have now loudly called attention to this, ensuring all the wingnuts will be there for a confrontation and maximising the disruption caused by one protest.

Furthermore public transit teaches you how to live with temporary minor annoyances and cars teach you that you're god's most special baby and your moment-to-moment comfort is the only important thing in the world

If you make peaceful protest unworkable, you earn violent protest as reward.

Absolutely horrific scene following this massacre, where police killed over 100 people.

Art by tinted mint. A grainy illustration of eyes in darkness overlaid atop each other in such a way that it mimicks the effect of double vision. The pupils have a pattern of white dots inside them reminiscent of those of a film reel.

Irish Times headline: "Remain calm, keep time low: What experts advise if 'doorstepped' by the Burke family"

Imagine being such a family of melts that a national paper issues a guide to dealing with you where the advice is similar to that of if you encounter a bear while hiking.
