Seeing the 80s called vintage makes me feel sooo old!

Just ordered a book from my local Waterstones. Click and collect so I’ll get it on way home tonight. As cheap as Amazon. Also bought an instant camera earlier this week from Argos, cheaper than on Amazon. It’s proving very easy not to use the evil billionaire’s website. More of you should try it.

PLEASE DON’T BE TAKEN IN BY THE DIVISIVE POLITICS OF REFORM

I’m not playing this stupid game with Reform or any of their multimillionaire groupies, vilifying immigrants and moaning about the benefits bill from their tax havens and Dubai penthouses. Then lying about what they said and why.

Reform is a racist party. Relying on racist votes for power. End of.

If Moderna is no longer bringing vaccine trials for Epstein-Barr virus (good evidence that EB causes Multiple Sclerosis), herpes, and shingles because of Trump appointees, I want prison time for those appointees.

This might be dooming millions to disease they don’t have to experience.

1 person shot and killed by U.S. marshal in Northeast DC A U.S. marshal shot and killed a person Wednesday afternoon in Northeast D.C. This shooting happened on Hay Street right in front of the Cesar Chavez Middle Public Charter School and not far from the ...

I heard about a killing of a Black man in DC by US marshals on a call from someone in the neighborhood then saw it confirmed by the organization @harrietsdreams.bsky.social & here. A Black man in DC was killed by the state today. Make the same noise for him as for anyone else when we have his name.

BREAKING: on this Super Bowl Sunday, Epstein Survivors have just released this PSA:

“Stand with us.  Tell Attorney General Pam Bondi IT’S TIME FOR THE TRUTH”

Please share everywhere!

I remember doing the same thing 👍 great excuse to rewatch a load of great films

Finally getting around to Children of Ruin by the excellent @aptshadow.bsky.social. I swear he’s writing books faster than I’m reading them right now! 🪐📚

If you're a business owner who fires someone you have assigned to an overseas job and you don't buy them a plane ticket home you should actually go to prison

But with no convection to move the heat around it may just mean hot things will gradually heat uncontrollably

I love this film, one of the best I’ve seen!

From Jack White on Instagram: “officialjackwhite This post would basically get anyone, at any job fired immediately...except for arguably the most important position in the world. That's right, trump is a racist, a rapist, a felon, a grifter (currently ordering the US govt. to pay him 10 billion dollars simply because no one will stop him.) and a full on dementia sufferer, and yet he has the power to send in gestapo ICE soldiers to kill our citizens, and so much more dangerously, has the nuclear codes and the ability to end humanity at any moment based on an egotistical whim. How is it possible we've given this evil man so much power? The two party system, the electoral college, the responsibility that the internet has brought to humanity and its direct conflict with truth, and America's obsession with celebrity, are all to blame, but the fact that we aren't stopping it is...insanity. Arrest this man. Impeach this man. 25th amendment this man. Indict this man. Jail this man. This longtime friend of pedophile epstein, who appears 40 thousand times in the files. This demolisher of the White House, demolisher of the Constitution, demolisher of the Bill of Rights, this demolisher of America full stop. It's hard to believe the government does almost nothing about this lunacy and we just all have to sit back and watch as a people. And when he's finally gone? we had better put into place new laws and regulations that don't allow anyone to find dangerous loopholes based solely on the assumption that our President has some sort of dignity and decency. Abolish these loopholes, abolish the electoral college, and if we had any sense we would abolish the two party system (that George Washington advised us never to have) that got us here in the first place and has failed not only Americans, but everyone else in the world who is currently suffering from our policies and suffering from the whims of this sick, deranged man who I will state again, has his tiny, bruised fingers on the…

A seven nation asskicking by Jack White, bravo rockstar

The petrosexuals are still doing the “having services available near where you live so you don’t have to spend all your time and money driving everywhere all the time is communist actually” thing. 🤣

HOW IT WORKS IN MOVIES:

1. Government lies

2. Brave heroes release video showing the truth

3. Press says “the government is lying!”

HOW IT APPARENTLY WORKS IN REAL LIFE

1. Brave heroes release video showing the truth

2. Government lies

3. Press says “Oh no, what now? So confusing! So hard!”

All to please a wannabe king who is demented and thrives on violence.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Wise words from WEB DuBois to gird us today: "It would be shame and cowardice to surrender this glorious land and its opportunities for civilization and humanity to the thugs and lynchers, the mobs and profiteers, the monopolists & gamblers who today choke its soul and steal its resources."

Hoping the forward carriages are emptier because everyone else waits for the middle doors? Or it’s where their seat reservation is and they don’t fancy navigating 4 carriages of suitcases and standing passengers to find someone’s already sat in it?

I’m always really impressed at how well you do. No idea if you have a big pile of abandoned attempts at the end of a session though

Where will he be?

The single biggest thing (in cost terms) I’ve changed my mind about is UK tuition fees. Dreadful system, need to scrap it.

I’d always thought Greggs was the ‘Greggs of the North’ since it started in Newcastle 😁

I love this. Tempted to try it here 😊

“The best way I can describe it is a year not in which everything broke all in one go, but as one where far too many things failed to matter when they really should have done…… it felt like scandal blurred into background noise and where outrage blunted its edge through sheer overuse.”

Screenshot of a tweet by James Tate reading, “An educated populace is a threat to power.” The tweet includes a quoted graphic stating that ICE is offering a $45,000 signing bonus and $100,000 starting salary, compared to a teacher earning $55,000 in their eighth year with a master’s degree, arguing that education has been intentionally defunded.

Our government’s priorities are entirely backward. And purposefully so.
