Farage attending the launch of a new staunch climate denial group in the UK that has taken funds from oil giant ExxonMobil ? Not particularly out of character , since Dec 2019 92% of donations to Reform UK were from fossil fuel interest groups or climate deniers , per @desmog.bsky.social .

I fear there is deep truth here.

Hi @mothiduk.bsky.social

Is this a Dotted Border Wave?

A bookseller stands behind a desk labeled ‘Assistance’ at which a queue has formed. The people in the queue are labelled (front to back) 1. Knows the title of the book but not the author 2. Knows the author but not the title 3. Has some vague memories of the plot 4. Recalls the picture on the cover 5. Can name some of the actors from the movie adaptation 6. Thinks this is the coffee queue 7. Mind has gone completely blank but hoping something will come back before getting to the desk

Everyone knows that the only reason trans people go through years of counselling, surgery, many more years of medication and counselling, and of course, regularly being attacked, is to get swimming medals easily.

I know this is hard to swallow, but if there’s something about food and farming you passionately believe, it is almost certainly wrong. On these issues above all others, our gut instincts mislead us. They can take us, inadvertently, to a very dark place.

As an aside, I am regularly astonished at the affordability of “luxury” items from my childhood deemed too swank to ever be requested. Vienetta is about 99p, and Ribena is the same price as normal squash, bar a few pee. As a kid these were painted as Fortnumsesque snob brands for the landed gentry.
