In a country with a president who is such a destructive sore loser, politicians who are both helpful and gracious in defeat is a greatly appreciated novelty.

Air quality. I grew up in the Los Angeles basin in the 70s and 80s and remember having to stay inside because the smog was so bad - Stage 2 smog alerts, they were called. Apparently they haven't had one of those since 1988. Haven't had a stage one smog alert since 2003.
Constantine@ajaxsinger.bsky.social · 19h agoFood, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

The MSM are out to get Polanski. He needs to be a bit more savvy, but they will go for him whatever he does.
Sylvia@sylvia-suffragette.bsky.social · 7h agoCould it be that MSM are pushing the story? Could it be that More in Common asked their 1608 people a leading question? Was it actual voters or those that are eligible to vote (important distinction)? Farage inciting violence never seems to get as much scrutiny, nor a survey of ‘voters’
