When holiday conversations with your parents range from Reform fallacies to Kanye West's wife to whether the moon landing was faked via Old Oak Common all on one night, you might be the middle class elite the right moan about.

There is something badly wrong with our Government if it arrests more peaceful pro-Palestine protestors than rioters and arsonists, and regulates children's use of social media more heavily than those using it to incite and organise racist violence.

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. hard mode: no star wars, star trek, lotr, dc, marvel, disney, pixar, dreamworks, spielberg, cameron, wachowskis, or ghibli. Getting more hardcore challenging.

Hey @dailymail.co.uk we fixed your newspapers for you 💋 Lord Rothermere who owns the Daily Mail pays NO TAX in the UK. The rest of us fund public services, he CHOSES not to. Yet we’re supposed to believe problems in the NHS are migrants’ fault? The utter cheek.

@michaelrosenyes.bsky.social you made these boys' day on Saturday. They all watched you tube videos of you telling stories of your life at Junior school and can still recall most of them word for word. Thanks for taking a selfie with them.

We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

I like this. I really like this. It exposes the rank hypocrisy of these ‘patriots’. Kudos to whoever wrote it via @thelondoneconomic.bsky.social

Police launch pointless investigation into Musical Artists calling out a genocide, but cannot correctly investigate coercive control cases. I know where I'd rather my tax money was being spent.

It is completely ridiculous, spray painting planes is not terrorism. www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is what the Internet is for.

HE’S ALIVE! The Hairy Man is alive! I love him so much.

About bloody time.

Here is the Sun's pitifully small apology for its lie about benefits tourism - a lie that was accepted as truth by millions and helped deliver Brexit. These lies are perverting our democracy. At a minimum, apologies should be published in the same location and size as the lie.

Rich, greedy people, happy to live in unimaginable wealth while others struggle to eat. Careless of the poor and the vulnerable. The royal grant rose 53% last month, from £86.3m to £132.1m. #downwiththecrown #antimonarchy #charlesthelast

Marina Purkiss, "We have a declining birthrate, an aging population, we either have immigrants and have NHS and social care, or we don't" "I can't believe Labour are making it more difficult for the social care sector to hire people. We have 131,000 vacancies"

So pleased we’ve identified foreign carehome workers who do the toughest jobs for fuck all money as the big problem with the country. Was worried it might be someone else.

"Vaccine-preventable deaths should not happen. You don’t want this to happen to your child, your neighbor’s kid, or anybody else." A mother speaks up about the critical importance of the MMR vaccine. www.voicesforvaccines.org/how-i-lost-m...

Musk defended posting misinformation about the Southport attack under the guise of protecting women and children, whilst attacking a woman leading to death threats to her children so he didn't have to remove a violent stabbing video Rudakubana watched before his attack. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Nope, just nope to Prof Goodwin. My great grandfather left Germany to fight against them in WW1, my grandfather fought in Burma in WW2, but then burnt his uniform and medals and chose to take part in Japanese student exchanges. Your past life experiences do not guarantee your current life choices.

In other news, Nigel Farage didn't bother to turn up to the debate on grooming gangs in the House of Commons just now

Victims / families of victims stand by Jess Phillips “In their response to Musk, coordinated by the campaign group Killed Women, the women said that those who “weaponise our pain for their own ends or political gain” should “hang their heads in shame”. apple.news/A0s5UH0tdRYO...

Just downloaded Escape From Camp Boring by @cakesthebrain.bsky.social for my 10 year old. He is so excited to read a book that 'gets going from the beginning'. I only found Tom Mitchell through bluesky so it was already worth the wait!
