@supertanskiiii.bsky.social Check out this link. Many of the UK far shite use the "The immigrants... they're all rapists!!" which closely mirrors the racist caricature as 'the black brute' of the US racism to justify segregation. jimcrowmuseum.ferris.edu/brute/homepa...
"Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust said that it had no record of this incident, or one like it, ever happening" www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... I wonder if this is another one of those 'never actually happened' things?!
25 years ago today was still an era of general positivity While never perfect, that point in time between the end of the Cold War and 9/11 was generally a time of optimism of a better world Tomorrow those walls came tumbling down along with the World Trade Centre. It's a shame hatred changed it all.
The BBC website section for Manchester, had a prelude to this years Pride weekend celebrations 3 days ago. But there was absolutely no mention of the actual events, including a parade through the city, that even the new Mayor attended!! www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/whats-on/mus...
It's so hot in the UK, a Fire Station... CAUGHT FIRE!! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

124,000 Brits voted for 'Boaty McBoatface' because it was funny. So the real question is... are there 51% of Clacton voters who want to mock Farage by voting for @countbinface.bsky.social?!!
Hey @jenpsaki.bsky.social You should get Dr John Gartner on as a guest. He's a clinical psychiatrist who has explained how Trump is suffering serious mental impairment, and now a serious danger to the US and the world. Here's a link showing his thoughts on the matter www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVzA...
I'm sure Nigel Ferage will be calling for pure, cold uncaring on this topic!!
Ben Cullen, a leading figure of the "Raise the Colours" campaign, will stand trial for three separate charges regarding a total of 78 indecent images of children. I have only seen this covered in local newspapers, so far. Grim as it is, it needs wider coverage www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2624087...

Christopher Lee had 292 acting roles during his acting career (4.23 per year). Vincent Price had 210 (3.8 per year). Peter Cushing had 132 acting roles (2.8 per year). That's quite a legacy!

Not just hooked on fossil fuels, but held to random by governments bent on conflict. Nationally generated green fuels isolate consumers from global instability.
Now feels like a good time to remember that Big Oil is the reason why we're still hooked on dirty, dangerous fossil fuels. The industry's lies have essentially stolen a generation’s worth of time that we could have used to transition to cleaner, safer energy sources. It’s time for accountability.
