We do not live in a civilised society.

Brexit has been so successful the government that delivered it has secured its place in power for a generation, and in the hearts of the people, as a thankyou from a happy and grateful nation. Right?

Oh.

been a minute since I’ve posted The Manifesto so: trans and disabled rights are human rights, abolish ice and defund the police, free Palestine, fuck antisemitism, give the land and artefacts back, sex work is work, abortion is healthcare, join your union, get your vaccines, corgis are perfect

Shrive, Shraugh, Shrove ✌️✨💖

Hope you have a wonderful time all together

My favourite oasis hit was when those pricks erected massive ugly fences on the hill in Heaton Park to block people watching their gig from across the way and then the council kept ducking freedom of information act requests so the Gallaghers could rake in even more cash.

Pricks.

They're just adorable 🥰

Love how bsky never bans "Native Americans" accounts that exist for data farming Indigenous stuff and selling shitty t-shirts with AI "art" and stolen designs.

My 88yo mom and 89yo dad are having a date night tomorrow for Valentine's and I might just expire from the overload of cute

I refuse to get caught up in stancil discourse. He’s this sites weetman you hogs.

“We would expect support for full social transition to be agreed very rarely”
There you have it, the gov wants trans kids to rot in the closet

dear media, Jim Ratcliffe’s far-right language does not mean it’s a green light for a phone-in asking ‘is he right?’ it’s the moment to call out his use of far-right language

Susan Jocelyn Bell Burnell (1943-) is a Northern Irish physicist who, while conducting research for her doctorate, discovered the first radio pulsars in 1967. This discovery earned the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1974, but not to her - the prize was awarded to her (male) supervisor. #CelebratingWomen

summer olympics is pop and winter olympics is metal

Apparently, Christian fundamentalists are confused by news that Streeting has now denied knowing Peter three times.

"Jesus Christ!" a spokesperson told the Times...

Pop quiz: does this refer to

a) military aid for Ukraine;
b) refurbishment of the Palace of Westminster;
c) regional transport policy;
d) net-zero implementation;
e) health services reform;
f) local authority funding;
g) university finance;
h) care sector shortfalls;
i) any 3 other problems...

Ignore the smears: I was never a close friend of Peter Mandelson. And I fully understand the lessons we must learn Wes Streeting

This is the funniest headline I seen in a long time. And bravo to whoever underlined the desperation with the juxtaposed link.

Bad Bunny’s performance began in the plantation, featured broken electric poles, and ended by centering a hemispheric understanding of “América”—among many other things—and some Anglo journalists are like “his performance wasn’t political.”

This is why we need to be telling our stories.

Ah okay. I might be misremembering what I learned ☺️ A friend is a Biblical scholar and worked on the Dead Sea scrolls, but it's been a while since discussed it and my memory is hazy—might be scattered verses in the OT were in Aramaic and translated ?

You'd have to be wilfully ignorant to read it innocently, no?

“Hollywood and New York programming” is a dogwhistle.

Oh it's much louder. It's a full on emergency siren

Screenshot of Wes Streetings twitter account where hes posted a picture of his mum and Peter mandelson in a home kitchen. He has captioned it "when Mandy met my mum".

Uh huh...

Isn't that after the selection of Gospels at Nicae? By which time they are already in translation, I thought?

Dear Everyone:

No, the Bible was not written in English. The Tanach is written in liturgical Hebrew. Most of the New Testament is written in Aramaic.

Sincerely,

Is there some sort of award for perfectly missing the point?
