There is only one way we will defeat Reform: together.

Thatโ€™s why Iโ€™m backing the Greens in the Gorton and Denton by-election.

We are a mass movement of all ages, backgrounds and faiths โ€” united in a belief that things can, and will, change.

In researching this skeet, I learned that one of Benito Mussolini's children, Rumano (a kid when his father died) went on to become a jazz pianist. Mark Steyn wrote his obituary for The Atlantic, it read:

"Occasionally inspired, he was always efficient; he made the refrains run on time."

AI kind of is punk rock. Punk rock is an American bastardization of punk that smoothes the edges off of it and removes any of the danger and unpredictability that makes punk actually interesting or worthwhile in the first place.

The only way through this ever is to take it out on every US resident until they do something

I saw them tour this album and they remain the best live band I have ever seen.

Germany's IG Metall has filed a criminal complaint against the manager of Tesla's factory near Berlin, accusing him of "spreading false allegations", the union said on Tuesday, in another sign of its souring relations with the U.S. automaker.

People can say itโ€™s utopian or dreamy but itโ€™s a fact that you have to believe new things are possible, fundamentally, in order to make them real. You have to make the choice to believe that more than this is possible & not be resigned to this being the way things have to be because itโ€™s not at all.

Idly wondering which country would theoretically have the means and nous to, if they so desired, start uh removing the billionaires.

Rip Tom Noonan. His performances were always fascinating and uniquely cadenced.

No more consumer market for anything + mass unemployment means no functioning economy. Should possibly question then, what is the actual purpose behind all of this? ๐Ÿ’€

I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018.
How did I do it?

Blacked out lines

CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP.
There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.

I've said it before:

The business plan behind this massive push for consumer-facing "A.i." is to force people to accept shittier service, worse daily lives, and a higher level of human misery and death so billionaires can make more money.

Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services arenโ€™t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

This morning I posted our petition to get Palantir out of our NHS and our public services.

Over 40,000 people have now signed it - thank you.

Please do keep sharing!

Elon, at a white board, writing meaningless 1s and 0s. Ten terrified employees applauding rapturously and high fiving.

Labourโ€™s vote is collapsing everywhere.

In Peterborough last night, as in Gorton and Denton, voting Green is the only way to stop Reform.
