And he seems like such a nice guy. I've noticed he is always the first to applaud his opponents.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social My laptop has decided that 9.20 AM on a Tuesday is the perfect time for an "update and restart."
Thanks, pal. Great timing. Guess I'll just stare at the wall and drink my coffee.

​Was at the #BobVylan gig in Glasgow last week. The man starts his show with yoga.

​The propaganda campaign trying to paint him as a "hate merchant" is ridiculous. This article just proves it: the M.E.N. is now paying "substantial damages" for getting it wrong.

Brianna Ghey was not murdered in cold blood by a phone. Or a social media app. She was murdered in cold blood with knives plunged into her 28 times by two 15-year-olds fed a constant stream of hate and dehumanization by UK corporate media and the UK government.
Two teenagers were radicalized by the transphobic political climate into seeing a 15 year old girl as less than human. They killed the girl, and then the girl's grieving mother chose to embark on a moral panic crusade against "self-harm", acquitting the actual perpetrators of her daughter's demise.

Can't believe Panorama edited a 71 minute speech to fit into a 60 minute program.

Even as a "morning person," the Monday morning version of me is just a different, much sleepier model.

Running on coffee and optimism. But mostly coffee.

Re: Martine Croxall

It's wild how much energy is spent debating simple facts:

​Gender identity is personal.
​It doesn't impact you.
​People who aren't women can get pregnant.

​This isn't hard to grasp.

The willful refusal to understand suggests other motives are at play.

Transphobia is a pipeline to the far right. An example:

Suzanne Moore used to be a left wing columnist at the Guardian.

Then came the anti-trans panic. Despite the Guardian also promoting it, it wasn’t enough & she left.

Moore is now complaining about wokeness over the Irish famine & colonialism.
Suzanne Moore, who would rather be locked up than pay her BBC licence fee because the BBC is too nice to trans people for her liking.

#Copper is the oldest metal worked by humans, & is 100% recyclable. Nearly 80% of all copper ever mined is still in use today. Historically significant examples of its use include the Statue of Liberty, which is made of copper.

​I now have more streaming service subscriptions than I have original thoughts on a Sunday morning.

And I still can't find anything to watch.

The endless scrolling is the main event now.

Saturday morning. The day is a completely blank page.

My to-do list is looking very ambitious. My realistic ambition, however, is to just drink coffee and... look at the to-do list.

It's a solid system.

Good morning from Paisley. We've reached that part of the year where the weather isn't "rainy" or "cloudy."
It's just "damp."

Everything is just vaguely... damp.

The look my dog, Chipshop, gives me when I'm eating toast is one of profound, ancient betrayal.

As if I've never fed him. Ever. In his entire life.

It's amazing how he can look so starved 10 minutes after his breakfast.🐾

I'm definitely a "morning person." I'm happy to be awake.

But my brain is definitely running in "low power mode" until that first strong, black coffee kicks in. Then the day can start.

That's it. That's the post.

What a welcome change to start the day with positive news. Cautiously optimistic that this is the beginning of a real fight back for America.

Our planet is on fire, and workers are being hit hard by the cost of living, but the super-rich couldn't care less.

BP pocketed £1.7 billion in profit, whilst our energy bills are rising and climate chaos intensifies.

It's time for climate action, it's time to tax the rich!

You can only listen to one song for the rest of the week. What song are you picking?

This is mine.

What movie can you watch over and over again without getting tired of it?

My pick is Zulu. I love the imagery and the songs. I also really appreciate how it portrays the conflict.

It's not about 'good vs. bad', just people doing what they are commanded to do and trying to get through the day.
