You are what you is, you is what you am, you ain't what you're not, and that's all you've got. Politics, cybersecurity, memes, nonsense.

I'm watching American people in a frenzied hope that a Democrat majority is going to change structural inequality, and I just don't see it happening. Better than GOP? Sure, but look at the history, look at the big donors. They're still beholden to massive corporate interests and billionaires.

The baseline to restore credibility would be: - Rescind every Trump EO - Universal health care - Wealth tax - Restore 90% tax bracket - Prosecute all illegal politician/related parties activities - Reclaim fraud earnings - Proportional representation - Eliminate PACs - Reverse project 2025 policies

- Release the Epstein files with victim names redacted - Abolish ICE - Prosecute all sexual predators & violent thugs - Abolish corporate lobbying & preferential access to reps/senators

Crikey, but this week is shaping up to be a cybersecurity mess. 60M websites can't be trusted suddenly because of one company's incompetence, and ~70% of global Internet websites need an urgent software update because of a vulnerability. On the same day.

You know a lot of people are posting and supporting the El-Sayed vs Tommy video. They're right to do it. Shut up and sit down bigots. The adults have work to do and your mewling isn't relevant.

I say this with love, but my cat is 100% bullshit. She's trying to drive out my stepcat who is the sweetest creature you could hope to meet. She's half his size but somehow five times his crap. I've literally never seen him swat at another cat before, but she upset him so much.

I don’t care where you started out on the political spectrum If your kid comes out as trans & you don’t become a rainbow-clad, parade-cheering ally & rock-solid supportive girl/boy/enby dad/mom? You were never a parent at all You were a doll collector furious they didn’t stay in their packaging.

The longer I live the more I don't really understand people who say the motivation for war, any war, is complicated. It all boils down some entitled prick thinking they deserve someone else's stuff more than the person who has it.

UK billionaires hoard wealth equivalent to 44% (£248bn($328bn)) of the total UK government budget (£558bn($738bn)), just 55 people, which is already obscene. 989 US billionaires hoard wealth equivalent to 84% ($8.4tn(£6.3tn) of the US government budget ($10tn(£7.6tn)).

Ed Davey, speaking later on the BBC, is invited about three times by Laura Kuenssberg to say that asylum seekers do not pose a greater proportional threat to women than men in general. He does not.

Alright, feels like I need to tap the sign again. Tolerance is a social contract, not a moral imperative. Those who break it, don't get their hateful behaviour tolerated. Fascists, bigots, racists, *phobic people, you have broken that contract. Go to hell.

On days like this last decade or so, I must take comfort in the 'half life of facts' theory, because everything I thought I knew 20 years ago is wrong in unexpected ways. France wants Russian oligarch sanctions removed, and a space bin is the most sensible voice in UK political discourse.

Having seen a few of these lately, I'm perplexed. People posting along the lines of 'my child/pet accidentally ate this thing in my home that they're deathly allergic to and nearly died, we're so upset'. Why do you have it in your house if you know they're allergic? Don't let it in your home!

You want to honour Dolly Partons legacy? - buy children books - fund medical research, disaster relief, university places, medical care, wildlife rescue, homeless charities - advocate for minority rights But most of all, listen carefully and approach everything with kindness and grace.

Go on Trump, you malignant narcissist, you joke of a man. Make a snide dig at Dolly because you're so insecure you can't tolerate that anyone is talking about someone who's not you. See how that plays out in the midterms.

Boy howdy people are getting hot under the collar about this putative portable bbq ban. I recall this being a solved problem 40 years ago in Aus, coin operated electric bbqs installed in public parks. No flames, no fire risk, and you don't have to cook on the ground like some kind of dirt goblin.
