Does anyone have any travel tips for the European city "Bruges"???

Going next week for our first trip alone since having a baby 2.5 years ago! Currently, our only plans are to sleep in and look at photos of our daughter on our phones. Would love to do more than that...

This week on my newsletter, What's Left? I interviewed a hero of mine @georgemonbiot.bsky.social! We cover money/power, poshos in Westminster, participatory democracy, Brexit, Trump, naked mole rats and (because I'm so nosy!) his early dating life.

When Jeffrey Epstein thinks *you're* the scumbag.

The more I hear about this guy Epstein, the less I like him. Anyone else feel the same??? Something off about him

I *know* this is not The Big Takeaway from the Epstein emails.

But how many powerful men are barely able to string a sentence together over email will never fail to fill me with irrational fury

Seems like as good a day as any to talk about how disgusting @telegraphnews.bsky.social is. I still remember when it was a (right-wing but still) reputable paper. The only thing more embarrassing than the people who read the Telegraph are the people who write/edit it.

What does it take to win? Our campaigns coordinator Eric Thurm knows! From field leading Zohran Mamdani's mayoral campaign to organizing for workers' rights with NWU, Eric's experience demonstrates the power of meaningful connections. @amyhoggart.bsky.social

Had such a great time interviewing a Buddhist meditation teacher about her radical politics this week! amyhoggart.substack.com/p/adriana-di...

I can meditate and study all I want. But none of that really matters if it doesn’t help others relieve their suffering.

Out of nowhere, my two-year-old has started calling banana chips “banana dongs”. I’ve also started doing this now and will never go back.

Zohran Mamdani's victory is so important and could be a great playbook for the left. I interviewed writer and Mamdani campaign organiser, Eric Thurm, about how they pulled it off. Read our conversation here! amyhoggart.substack.com/p/eric-thurm-writer-zohran-mamdani

Listen, I WAS getting on with @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social while we were talking about his politics. Things only deteriorated when he mentioned his bagpipes and I forgot to lie. Next time I'll pretend I'm a fan. Read/watch/hear our (mostly nice) chat here! amyhoggart.substack.com/p/alastair-c...

This week I talk to @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social about his personal politics. Alastair claims to be more left-wing than people realise and addresses accusations of making "porn for centrist dads” (not my words, not my image!) Read/watch/ listen here! amyhoggart.substack.com/p/alastair-c...

Out of nowhere last week, my mum’s Alexa suddenly stopped calling her “Alyson” and started calling her “Haunted House”.

WTF? Is this a weird amazon Halloween thing we don’t get? She really doesn’t like it, no matter how much it makes me laugh.

I’m so tired of this dance.

MANY Republicans: *do a Nazi thing*

Normal people: So you’re Nazis, we can all clearly see that now, right?

MR: But ARE we? What if Hitler stands for Handsome Intelligent Talented Loving Ethical Rascals, ever think of THAT, lib? Tee hee!

Media: Why are Dems the worst?
