Howay the lads

Today, England's water companies received their worst pollution ratings since records began.

Rising bills. Soaring profits. Sewage in our rivers and seas.

Enough is enough. Bring water back into public ownership, now.

New York Times article reads: "Mr. Zhao had pleaded guilty to money-laundering violations in 2023 and served four months in federal prison, after a yearslong investigation by financial regulators and U.S. prosecutors. “President Trump exercised his constitutional authority by issuing a pardon for Mr. Zhao, who was prosecuted by the Biden administration in their war on cryptocurrency,” Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said in a statement on Thursday. “The Biden administration’s war on crypto is over.” The pardon was the latest example of how high-profile business partners of Mr. Trump and his family have benefited from his rollback of the wide-ranging crypto crackdown orchestrated by President Joseph R. Biden Jr. To seek the pardon, Mr. Zhao hired lawyers and lobbyists with ties to the Trump administration, while Binance struck a business deal with World Liberty Financial, the Trump family’s crypto start-up."

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe" Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

I said this to my non-anime watching friend as a joke and my husband actually edited it into the format, so here is my hot take on anime.

I'll be honest I rarely try to push back against using "psychotic" as a synonym for evil in people's mentions, because I've literally never once had anybody respond positively. not once. but idk maybe it's worth it just so other people see it and feel less universally demonized

Every year the bills go up. Every year more cuts. Every year our water polluted. Every year an NHS in crisis. Every year more of our freedoms taken away.

It's time for a new kind of political party: of the people, for the people.

This is Your Party.

One of the first cases in the #PaulPoiret exhibition featured outfits by the major designers who were working when Poiret first started his career in fashion. It provided an excellent contrast to what he would later design. One of these outfits was this 1895 Worth tea-gown

Vampires? Sure blood libel i get that, devil sure, considering how the devil has beem historically depicted. But demon is universal. Especially if you're asking us to take 'psychopath' as neutral & not abelist.

Where did you find this. Is there a reference?

Just some of the coolest cyclists ever.
Denver, Colorado, circa 1905.
Where were they going, did they have a great adventure, what became of them afterwards?
I wish we knew more, but goodness me they knew how to be stylish.

They're one of the few public spaces left in our society where you're allowed to exist without the expectation of spending money.”

During the last quarter of the sixteenth century, infantry and naval officers began to wear artfully designed cuirasses (breast and backplates) that hinged open with a front seam that mimicked the doublet or waistcoat. This Italian example is decorated with slanted etched bands to look like embroidered trim as well as large rivets down the front simulating buttons. Despite its fashionable appeal, the front seam did weaken the cuirass, and soon after 1600 the fashion vanished. George F. Harding Collection
