A tiny human (2?) has spotted Mum's cake on a cafe table.
Ahh...
Mum is distracted talking to a friend.
Hmm...
If he just climbs on this chair...
And then onto the table,
And then SITS on the cake...
She'll never notice, right?

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Our Kimmy did it classier.....look at moi!

The 'Womanosphere' Is Coming for Teen Girls How beauty and wellness influencers are part of a misinformation ecosystem pushing traditional values on girls.

Incredibly bittersweet to be published in Teen Vogue this weekend after devastating layoffs, including my editor for this piece. It’s about how beauty influencers have fallen into and become part of the alt-right pipeline targeting girls and women

finance guys on twitter are like "can't believe zohran hired lina khan. she wants to make it illegal to bundle memecoin futures into junk stocks and sell them to public worker pension plans. the public won't stand for it."

Gabrielle Simpson has been cleaning crime scenes, suicides, hoarding and squalor for over 20 years

She has 1000 tales to tell, but sharing most of them would get us cancelled. Here’s the ones we were able to get past the lawyers

the left has been burned a lot before by electing people we thought were good and turned out real stinkers but i think zohran is the genuine real deal for bringing her into the fold

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Pondering tea-towels, at this late stage. A few people ask if I will ever do the Socialist Birdies again, which were very popular some years ago.

And below, my AI dog, might be the best suited visually for a tea-towel.

Everything else is so tied to issues of the moment, I'm not sure they hold up.

Congratulations to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social!

You ignited a grassroots campaign, built on the radical idea that everyone deserves to live in dignity.

This is a seismic victory — not only for the people of New York, but for all those who believe that humanity & hope can prevail.

A crowd of young people waiting for NYC Mayor elect Mamdani to speak. Not a grey haired person to be seen.

Waiting for Mamdani - spot a grey hair.

The Democratic Party Needs to Learn from Zohran Mamdani's Guts and Backbone Zohran Mamdani did something different, and it made all the difference.

I am no longer employed so I'm not blogging Zohran tonight but I can just repeat exactly what I said in June :-)

he won on the back of a pro-migrant, pro-trans, pro-working class campaign. and also: Dem pundits are full of shit

Colin Sheridan opinion piece in Examiner, opening section.

"When history judges us, it won’t ask how “agile” we were.

It will ask who we housed, who we fed, who we sheltered, who we lifted up when the lift got stuck.

That’s the only kind of fast that matters."

70% of working age SNAP recipients work full time. The companies should pay them a living wage! SNAP is corporate welfare.

Trump has a 'Sputnik moment' but China is wiping the floor with America To remind the US president: China is both communist and working passably well, something he and the United States generally are being forced reluctantly to confront.

An infographic titled "The Three Branches of Government: How they keep each other in check" shows how the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of the U.S. government balance power. The graphic features three circles, each representing a branch, with arrows between them illustrating checks and balances. Executive Branch (center, top): Depicted by the White House icon. Checks on Legislative: Can veto bills and call special sessions of Congress. Checks on Judicial: Nominates Supreme Court justices and federal judges. Legislative Branch (bottom left): Depicted by the U.S. Capitol icon. Checks on Executive: Can override vetoes, impeach the president, control funding, and approve appointments. Checks on Judicial: Confirms judges and justices, can impeach and remove judges. Judicial Branch (bottom right): Depicted by a courthouse icon. Checks on Executive: Can declare executive actions unconstitutional. Checks on Legislative: Can declare laws unconstitutional. Color-coded arrows indicate the direction of checks between branches, emphasizing the system of mutual oversight. It's a nice little fantasy.
