I thought you were special, I thought you should know
In sunny maesteg for the summer fair, it's such a wholesome event, although the cost of the tat they sell for kids beggars belief. Trying to hold out against all the nagging. Pizza here is excellent too!
"marauding through town terrorising locals* Our news media is disgusting racist nonsense
This kind of thing is why degrowth is so essential to a political program, btw. Without it, there's no brake on this endless whirlpool of exploitation. We need a political culture that says it's fine to have enough. You can stay home. Slacking off is great. Go for a walk rather than hustle more.

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
Jeez they really think they can tell you any old bullshit
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d agoHassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."
Probably not cool to brag about your dad, especially in reply to a joke, but my dad has great taste in New Wave and post-punk and got my and my siblings off to a great start. All three of us have copies of the Sound of the Suburbs compilation now, which we listened to a lot in the car growing up.
Andy Churnwell@churnwell.bsky.social · 5d agoJust heard the news. The police raided your dad's flat and confiscated all his '70s nonce rock records.
I would give landlords a very different warning 🪓
Human Rights First@humanrightsfirst.org · 5d agoIn an article for @irishnews.com, @humanrightsfirst.org's @suchitauppal.bsky.social and @cajni.bsky.social's Shannon Doherty write about the targeting of those supporting immigrant communities in Northern Ireland, and the immediate steps that authorities must take to protect them.
Trying to get tickets for the Community Shield but impossible as a neutral! Amazing that we have to put up with the disruption in Cardiff but can't get a ticket to the event. Really wanted to get my son to a Man City game.

Kurt Vonnegut's The Sirens of Titan. An absolute masterpiece, need to read again.

Lol BBC in consent manufacturing shocker
Michael E. Mann@michaelemann.bsky.social · 6d agoI was not informed by the BBC that they would have a right wing political figure or lobbyist on after me to rebut what I said. The individual in question went on to spout lies about China, etc. to distract attention from the Trump administration's assault on climate action. This is unacceptable.
Won't do bugger all for Wales or Scotland though will he. Let him be the prime minister of England. The UK is untenable.

Politics UK@politicsuk.com · 6d ago🚨 BREAKING: Andy Burnham has officially announced that all England mayors will soon receive a share of income tax to spend on their areas From next spring, they will also receive greater shares of local revenues such as business rates
Rich of Robert Jenrick of all people to call anyone a "nasty piece of work"
So we are NOT going to drill for more oil in the north sea?
Leo Hickman@leohickman.carbonbrief.org · 7d ago++BREAKING++ The UK and Spanish governments have issued a joint statement overnight: "[We] agreed that this summer’s wildfires demonstrated that climate change was now a national security emergency facing Europe and threatening our way of life." www.gov.uk/government/n...
This card collecting thing, I just don't get it. Fans might moan about scalpers and traders but it's their demand that drives the prices. They are the mark for spending silly money on tat, I have no sympathy.
Imagine being the legal intern who has to watch 92 episodes of Wolfoo to spot the stolen clips of Peppa Pig
Like Corbyn, Zack Polanski is a soft left reformer whose economic politics would have been mainstream before 1980. Watching the establishment destroy his name with one hand, whilst skilfully relaunching the Labour neoliberal brand with the other, is an education in why we don't live in a democracy
I'm sure vladimer putin will be thrilled that ukraine plan to build patriot missiles just across the border
