Just rained at home for the first time since at least mid-June. The smell of rain is wonderful, having not seen it in about seven weeks.
I see the media are weaponizing the diagnosis of autism. Presumably a palate cleanser to justify reducing the UK welfare budget?
Bluesky is a "liberal bubble" because fascist chuds can't get traction without algorithmic assistance and because people here trained themselves to block "debate me" trybois the instant they roll up

The BBC treats climate change as a political subject, which it is not. This gives them the excuse of "both sidesing" an overwhelming scientific consensus and outright lying. It is a propaganda machine downplaying a deadly emergency and questions need to be asked at the highest level as to why.

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.
