🚨Small boat migrants getting “private health care” while the rest of us have to use the NHS?!🚨
That’s outrageous!
Or is it?
Might the reality be a little more mundane and a little less clickbait-worthy?

#duolingo energy cuts you off mid lesson then makes you watch an ad to then cut you off again mid lesson. It's a killer for me. A note at the start of the lesson saying "you won't get through this" would be nice. The free tier just went anti-learning by penalising when you quickly answer correctly.

I guess the mass unsubscribing contributed too, funny they don't mention it. It's all discussions and judgements and not "that really f*cking hurt our streaming income!"

Charlie Kirk wasn't even on my radar till he was murdered. When the news came out, I had to look up who he was.
I wonder many of the people performatively mourning his death also didn't actually know who he was.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social when did the USA become North Korea?
I was trying to post these without comment to subtly reference current events, but some news outlets are unironically inserting links to those very current events into the articles and not seeing the connection.

What exactly is it about trans people that inspires such disproportionate self-incinerating rage in people who fall down anti-trans rabbit holes? That we've kinda done nothing is precisely why it's so disproportionate, to the conspiracy addled, it's more proof of our secretive far-reaching power.

I can strongly recommend this. The sci fi scale is epic, the characters are well rounded and slice of life adorable and then there's moments of pure steel. It's a hoot!
Bluesky pals! I have a sci-fi graphic novel called DRIVE, & it's my favorite thing I've ever done! If you need a long, escapist read at the moment the entire thing is free to read, here: drivecomic.com

AI once again favouring talking points of the right hand side of UK politics. Adding the word "actually" to the query "are millionaires leaving the UK" turns the answer 180 degrees.

So incredulity aside, what about the list itself?

Every single person who is under the mistaken impression that their whiteness, conservatism, even their own fascism will save them is highly mistaken. That “first they came for” poem was written by a Nazi who once thought he was safe too. No one is safe under a fascist regime. No one.

If you ever feel exhausted for caring about the destruction of the planet, the rise of racism or the wellbeing of others then just remember this:
Very bad people are pouring billions into far right propaganda to try to radicalise you and it hasn’t worked.
You’re unfuckwithable.
