Zack on picket line with workers from PCS and British Library.

Zack on picket line with workers from PCS and British Library.

Solidarity with @pcsunion.bsky.social workers at the British Library.

300 workers on strike. Some of them having to take second jobs or taking out loans just to be able to survive.

A Pay "award" below inflation is a pay cut. Unacceptable.

Solidarity - and keep organising! โœŠ๐Ÿผ

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

Harvard Gazette:
Gazette: โ€œYou are the mother of two In ten years you have produced three novels and two short-story collections. Can you talk about your process and how you manage work and family?โ€
Groff: โ€œI understand that this is a question of vital importance to a lot of people, particularly to other mothers who are artists trying to get their work done, and know that I feel for everyone in the struggle. But until I see a male writer asked that question, I am going to respectfully decline to answer it.โ€

Funny how 'left leaning'and 'left-wing'
individuals are often added as monikers to those interviewed by the @BBC - but there are no 'right leaning'or 'right-wing' labels attributed to, eg Richard Tice of Reform.

Reform UK, vote Nigel Farage if you think

The Minimum Wage is too high.
The richest 4% earning ยฃ100,000+ pay too much tax.
The State Pension needs to be means tested.
We should get rid of the NHS.
The retirement age is too low.

If you hate yourself, vote Farage.

Glenn Greenwald

Israel just signed another order banning the Red Cross from visiting Palestinian "detainees" in Israel's dungeons because they know the world will be repulsed if Israel's abuses are revealed.

It's the same reason Israel continues to bar international media from entering Gaza:
