Zack Polanski, "If we decarbonise by 2050, that would cost less than a single (fossil-fuel) energy shock" "We've now had two energy shocks in just a few years" "We cannot keep waiting, we cannot keep hoping for magic technologies - it already exists, what is lacking is the political will"
They love to pile on the Greens. Even Lee Hurley.

Former soldier and engineer, @carlbenfield.bsky.social joins @zackpolanski.bsky.social "We need an immediate COBRA-level response. We need climate change reinstated at the top of our defence and security agenda. And we need the bold leadership of Zack Polanski for our nation. Thank you."
It’s time to act. And when we do we won’t just avoid the worst effects of climate breakdown - but we will lower bills permanently, help our communities thrive - and give a grounded sense of hope for generations to come.

The banks pay £5bn a year less tax than in 2022 because of Rishi Sunak's bank tax cut which has never been reversed.

The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · 18h agoNew York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.
'Zack Polanski and the t-shirt' and the media storm that ensued vs "ten times Reform UK politicians have separately used genuinely violent, inciteful language with zero accountability or calls to the police". Two-tier policing? As long as Reform go free, they're all for it. Nigel Farage whines

This is what climate failure looks like. Nature, homes and livelihoods are being destroyed. The Government must act now.

As an aside, if any other professionals were as incompetent as certain journalists, they'd be sacked and disbarred. But in the rightwing press, gross incompetence appears to be a qualification. After all, without its bullshitters for hire, how else would capital deny, deflect and distract?
Your frequent reminder that Andy Burnham is just Starmer 2.0 - a dangerous Red Tory.
DamonTheDemon@damonthedemon.bsky.social · yesterdayLovely bit o change here from Burnham. “Change” clearly means something else when you are in politics.
My column on how capital becomes a death cult. Faced with a choice between profit and human life, the radical right chooses profit. Then it tries to persuade us that mass death is what we want. It's the new phase of climate denial: accept your fate, earthlings. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

BP's quarterly profits more than doubled to £4.2 billion in the three months to the end of June. These are the profits of war and climate chaos. It's time to make the biggest polluters pay.

Ralph Bakshi's gorgeous, rotoscoped, and incredibly dark animated version of THE LORD OF THE RINGS (1978) was, at times, like a nightmare to my 9 year-old self. I had particular problems with the creepy Nazgûl, especially during this famous scene...
As a young child, this film was a profound moment in my young life. A film that realised a fantasy World id never thought id see on film. The acting was also impeccable with the legendary John Hurt as Aragorn and other classically trained voice actors. Thank you Ralph Bakshi. RIP.

People say they love their countries and their peoples. Then why are we letting a load of corrupt shitfuckwankercunts destroy it all? Cant love it that much.
Incredible shit here: the guy Badenoch is defending was sent to prison for sending racist abuse to the MP Luciana Berger. Who then did a whole series of interviews and columns talking about her criminal harassment by Nazis, in a manner intended to make listeners believe it was done by Labour members
