Don't stop searching for joy.
Track it down if you can.
Look in cluttered bookstores, historic theaters, haunted playgrounds, and misty moors.
Take joy out for tea, adventure, and gentle mischief across the land.

Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶

Dear GOD if you want to save money in the asylum system

1. LET ASYLUM SEEKERS WORK

2. FAST TRACK STATUS FOR EVERYONE FROM CLEARLY UNDAFE COUNTRIES like Sudan, Syria, etc

3. Run an asylum accommodation system that is NOT FOR PROFIT #r4today

What happens now is that every dropped piece of trash, every inch of graffiti, every broken down subway train, every disappointing sandwich, every rat in Central Park, and every single crime gets blamed on Zohran Mamdani... by racists who never go near NYC.

My tip as a Londoner. Shrug and carry on.

This afternoon an incredibly important principle is being debated in the House of Lords

We know people die at our border & in our asylum system at a horrifying rate, but shockingly the govt does not record how many, who, or how.

I'm still not wearing a poppy.
Undecided whether I will.
I might treat it like whamageddon, and see if I get one by Sunday.
Because, y'know, it's only a poppy.
(I can give and do give to charity; but that's no-one else's business, right?)

We see something similar in the UK.

Most benefits go to people IN WORK.

Because there are not enough properly paid jobs.

Rather than insisting employers pay decent wages, governments use taxpayers’ money to subsidise employers who don’t.

Welfare was not meant to support employers.

This is wrong
The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.

Gradually, I'm coming round to the idea that the 1980s was actually quite a long time ago now.
Y' know, maybe.

The numbers of Americans in the replies here screaming "but how do British people defend themselves?!"

Well, mostly by almost entirely removing guns from public ownership. And they're going to hate this, but it works!

It will never be beneficial to "compromise" on human rights to garner acceptance & validation because in doing so you agree with the bigot who declared you subhuman & deserving of unique policing & fewer rights. They're never going to be satiated in depriving you of humanity & position among them.
