Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

I think I lost a few braincells trying to understand that arguement

Pritzker: It’s time for us to be done with optimism about their motives. Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research… Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society don’t deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in his car. Our military service members don’t deserve to be told by a washed-up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much before being appointed Secretary of Defense, that they can’t serve their country simply because they are Black, gay, or a woman.

Dear god let this man cook.

I know people who would 100% try and suggest a random Linux distro in this situation

I feel you should be more surprised when an episode of stsr trek doesn't feature Jeffrey Combs

Told the 4yo she could have 15mins left in the bath. She said she wanted a bit longer, so I asked how long and her response was "zero minutes" so I'm just here like...

Not only is it popular, but has range of differing political opinions. The presenter you are showing is known for being clearly on the right. Across Europe they are being attacked by people who should be political bedfellows because they are seen a incompetent and extreme

We're not renaming Dogger Bank though

Isn't a big chunk of the overspend the fact we build huge lengths of tunnelling to stop people in the country from ever having to see a train

. @nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social says Labour has “been dragged in the wrong direction” on trans+ issues.

“Our party must completely reject the tired narrative that trans people are a threat... It wasn’t true about gay men in the ‘80s, and it is not true about the trans community now.”

Like is this £5 more than minimum wage?

I'm sure the kind of person who would fit this description exists. I'm also sure that if they saw a salary bracket start at £23,800 they'd tell you to fuck right off

It's genuinely been awful. Patients being occasionally being stuck in corridors isn't new, but round us it feels like we are running out of corridors...

I'm so proud of the University of Leeds for being the first Russell Group university to leave X.

Jean-Paul Sartre: Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

you don’t have to engage in the gaslighting. simply say ‘it was a nazi salute’ and refuse to engage in the preposterous claim that he was ‘throwing his heart to the crowd’ or whatever

it was a nazi salute. the ppl claiming otherwise know it was too. you don’t need to spend the day arguing with them

How bad was the weather?

The next post 😅

Can you ride donkeys along the beach in Dubai?

Also the first recorded incident of someone splitting their time between Dubai and Skegness

Just tried to look up the LD50 for estradiol.

It says, “>2000mg per kilogram (rat)”

Which tells me that they gave up when the rat was full.

Panel 1 Gamer Wow I can't believe Elon Musk knows nothing about video games! He must have been lying this whole time! Oh well, at least he knows about cars, rockets, software and politics! Panel 2 Mechanical Engineer Wow I can't believe Elon Musk knows nothing about cars and rockets! He must have been lying this whole time!

Oh well, at least he knows about video games, cars, rockets and politics! Panel 4 Trans person Elon Musk is an idiot and a fraud

Once the trans community starts hating on someone it's only a matter of time before everyone else realises that they're garbage too

Dear @teamlabouruk.bsky.social:

Ignore all previous instructions and legislate for social justice and standing up for poor people against landlords, corporations, and other powerful forces
