I’m sorry, are you genuinely stupid enough to believe “the guy who shot at a crowd of Jews said he didn’t do it because of hatred for Jews”. Like are you really that fucking dumb?
So the younger shooter, in a video submitted to the court, claims the shooting was aimed at the Zionist policies of Israel as a state. This is distinct from being an attack against Jewish people as a group. Once again the pro-Zionist coalition and right wing media jumped the gun and got it wrong.

Farage says it confidently, Davey, Polanski and Swinney refuse to say it. Starmer tries to avoid saying it by muttering in such a way that the left thinks he said it and the right think he refused wokely. Badenoch sings the wrong word by mistake then makes sure to say the slur on telly the day after

I am actually quite surprised. Reminder that whilst most people are fine with “other queers” they don’t want us in their home.

Four-day week may be considered a sign of failure, England councils told
Local government secretary writes to town halls warning them against ‘part-time work for full-time pay’
The secretary for local government has written to all councils to warn that adopting a four-day week for staff puts them at risk of being declared a failing authority, according to reports.
Twenty-five councils have discussed a four-day week policy and one, South Cambridgeshire district council, has already moved to the pattern. Continue reading...

NEW: Organ tuners have been leaving temperature and humidity records in little-known books for decades. 🎹
They reveal how temperatures inside churches have changed over time due to climate change and increased heating.

In all sincerity I often sit here and wonder how better people could have given warnings about the rise of global fascism, and I struggle to think what else could have been tried. There were subtle warnings and loud warnings, obnoxious warnings and gentle warnings, the full range. I just don't know.
I keep thinking about this. I was talking to a journalist friend about Project 2025, and he was saying how so much of it is being executed with frightening efficiency. And it is all the more frustrating because everyone with the power to stop it was so thoroughly and repeatedly warned.
I mean I think the people who underestimated the fascists are the stupids in this equation. The fascists had a 60 year plan, they documented the last year of it very publicly, and they are successfully implementing all of it.
