That’s ok, I also blame him and his ilk.

NEW: Extraordinary scenes in the Serbian city of Novi Sad right now.

Hundreds of thousands of students have marched for days across Serbia.

Labour have their chance but only delivering Red Tory veering to Reform Lite, so why would people vote for that again? People need hope and currently Labour offer none.

We need this in Scotland as well!!

UBI would help save the country but is never going to be allowed to happen as it doesn’t make super rich people even richer

Storyville - The Librarians A Storyville documentary that explores how librarians across the US are risking their safety to defend free speech as book bans and censorship threaten democracy from within.

Fucking heroes 🙏✊️

Protect your #Libraries, folks.

UK libraries are dealing with this too; we need to be absolutely, uncompromisingly militant about safeguarding access to knowledge and making sure everyone can see themselves in our collections.

But that is exactly what they want and how the RW always work!!
Take over a symbol that represents something good (peace, woke etc) and taint it so that it represents something negative, thereby removing that positive symbol and reminder from public discourse. Classic 101 fascism.

Data cleaning is always the painful but necessary step!

Talk about tone deaf and clueless!!

Übrigens ist diese Erkenntnis nicht neu. Sie wird nur immer wieder erfolgreich aus dem Diskurs verdrängt.

Wusstet ihr zum Beispiel dass Richard Nixon kurz davor war das bedingungslose Grundeinkommen einzuführen?

Those are all worthy winners!!

Most British young men reject the far right - UK in a changing Europe Emilia Belknap and Stuart Turnbull-Dugarte explain their analysis on the demographics of Reform UK voters in the UK. They argue that while the dominant narrative is that young men are the most likely ...

An inconvenient truth. @turnbulldugarte.com and @emiliabelknap.bsky.social puncture a pervasive myth. ‬ "Among young respondents aged 18-25, a very comfortable majority of women reject Reform UK (75%), and a similarly large majority of men in the same age group share the same view (71%)."

Some brilliant footage of the Barras in 1978, featuring many of the market's patter merchants who could draw in a crowd in order to sell their wares.

"you cannot measure the soul of a nation in capital flows. It breathes in the child warmed by a public health nurse, the pensioner safe on a winter night, the worker who does not fear tomorrow. Not in airports and equity markets.”

Colin Sheridan going for the jugular today... Perfectly said

I fear we ain’t seen nothing yet and going to get far worse, especially for the younger generation. The world would be a far, far better place if those in power had half the empathy and humanity of Don McCullin…

Sorry, missed that and obviously did not scroll back far enough in your timeline (and did not check the article date 🤦‍♂️)

@marcdavenant.bsky.social this article will likely be of interest to you if not seen already.

Amazing article and life! Seems like a real mensch.
Also very sad and have to agree with his conclusion that “We’ve learned nothing”

UK defence chiefs made 12 trips to Israel during Gaza war Arms control expert calls the scale of visits “a moral failing of massive proportions”.

“I haven’t seen violence like this since Rwanda. The velocity and ferocity of the RSF killing civilians since Sunday is unlike anything I’ve seen in 26 years of doing this work”

Incredibly bleak situation in Sudan.

Guess it depends where you started from (i.e. loss vs never having it). I lost my taste and smell following covid and went off food for almost two years until it started returning, so was definitely worse for me.

New #EULAR consensus definitions and points to consider for difficult-to-manage and treatment-refractory psoriatic arthritis (PsA) released.
These should help standardise and advance research and clinical management in this important area of unmet need.

Ahead of the 1st shutdown of US food aid to hungry Americans in 60 years, some of the 200,000 Little Free Library locations are converting into food pantries. Thanks @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social

It is way past time for the UK government & the BBC to get off X & for Musk to be treated as a threat to national security.

The world's richest man is using his site to promote civil war, ethnic violence & the overthrow of an elected government.

You won't win him over with another conference on AI
