Watching Spartacus and can't help thinking that if the slaves had eschewed violence and presented their case in polite manner, observing societal decorum, they might have found the Romans more receptive to their arguments
Think I've finally reached the point where my antagonism to social media is no longer platform-specific but with all of it—and that includes Bluesky

In addition to mass graves, and endemic anti-Indigenous racism, White nationalists are infesting Canadian public and social media spaces, and the entire Canadian government gave a standing ovation to a Ukranian who fought in the Waffen-SS, while both parties demonize immigrants for everything.
the number of canadians i've met here who have this haughty "at least we're better than america" attitude while their govt is still digging up mass graves of native children from only a few decades ago is kinda wild

this mythology of a great political divide is dragging us to hell. We are dealing with brainwashers, propagandists and racists. This isnt a conversation about the triple lock. These are white supremacists. They are not to be negotiated with. There is no argument to win here. They are sociopaths.

“Less terrible” because this place still bans trans and marginalised people on a whim, bans people from Gaza on an unfathomable scale and doesn’t actually take action on harmful content…

I realized the trans flag might be throwing some people off, so I made a version in a flag you are more familiar with.

Reform UK Councillor John Baker threatened legal action when we said Reform UK’s Kent Council was selling the historic Folkestone Library building in Grace Hill.
They had promised to keep it open.
Well guess what? They’ve now sold it:
