10 years on, the daily express is still wanging on about a 'proper brexit'. The facts are put there about the damage this has caused to the British economy and yet still there's people who think there's some sunny uplands version that Politicians are refusing to implement. Just madness.
Hardly the latest research from Stanford, but Robert Jenrick is a piece of shit. You keep my city out of your mouth.

Just listened to another amazing 2 parter on the origin story podcast. I would pay money for a one man show of @dorianlynskey.bsky.social doing Brian and Maggie in it's entirety 😂
Finally there's a country that has taken Britain's mantle of being the only country in history to impose economic sanctions on itself. The similarities with Brexit become more startling every day.

Step 1 - set free militants loyal to you
Step 2 - demonize marginalized segments of society
Step 3 - purge civil servants and oversight <—— you are here
Step 4 - claim authority to rule by decree

After waking to read yet more batshittery coming from across the pond, it's stories like this that give me hope that there's still great people out there who are real heroes. What an amazing man.
He's not perfect, he has his flaws and this Labour government has had some bumpy moments, but Starmer has had a great week. When do we start planting the #rejoinEU seed? Surely we're seeing this week what co-operation looks like and how much stronger we'd be in that out?
For two men who have professed such hostility towards taking the knee, they are surprisingly happy to do it for Putin, in the Oval Office, in full view of the world’s media.
Just got round to watching Wallace and Gromit Vengeance most Fowl on BBC iPlayer (Wouldn't feel the same watching it on Netflix). It's great as always, very british, quirky and funny, with a nod to dodgy AI, Aardman have done it again.

Was thinking about this image today. If it wasn't so badly run I've always wondered if Commodore could have done an apple and developers would now have Amiga Laptops, phones and watches....

Is there anyway of turning a starter pack into a list you can put on your timeline just by pressing a button? It would save me having to create a list and then putting the same people I've just followed into that list? I can't believe I'm the only person who had thought this.
After much tinkering with creating lists, blocklists and follows, I really hope Bluesky can stay this way. Informative, funny and more of the people I like joining, deserting X. Long may it continue!

White supremacy is rooted in a set of theories known as scientific racism, dating to the 17th century, but which took full flower in the late 19th century, especially in the United States. They posited a hierarchy with the white race on top. 1/24

No, Kamala Harris did not lose because of her supposed embrace of “identity politics.” Just the reverse is true: Donald Trump won because of his very real embrace of identity politics. White identity politics.

London please help. I’m praying for a miracle, I’ve just got into the office and noticed my mums locket (in all these photos) that I wear every day has fallen off my neck on my walk in. My mum died when I was seven and her jewellery is most of what I have of her. I’m devastated
