Thank you Stewart Lee for the reminder to vote today in the @nationaltrust.org.uk AGM.
He writes in The Nerve:
"Act now. Or every National Trust property is going to look like the remodelled White House Rose Garden. With cage-fighting".

i wouldn't necessarily call myself the most constitutionally ai-hostile person there is but the specific way they've rolled it out has made me a borderline neo-luddite. "oh we can't do this unless we steal." well now i want your company to burn

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

I love how Russell T Davies always uses his platform to fight for progress - I hate how it is always so necessary
Please, if good television matters to you, repost or repackage this video until everyone you follow has seen it

We all rely on transport. To work, do the school run, access healthcare and education, see family and friends. But Disabled people are locked out by a concessions system not fit for purpose.

![[Scene is ANCIENT GREECE - where SOCRATES and PLATO and others are sitting round, thinking]
1
SOCRATES:
Plato..
PLATO:
Yes Socrates?
2
SOCRATES:
Can you tell me, are you human?
PLATO:
Why… yes, Socrates
3
SOCRATES:
And would you agree, Plato, that a human knows what a chariot is?
PLATO:
Um, yep
4
SOCRATES:
So you can tell me, then
5
[Socrates produces a papyrus, showing a drawing of the corner of a chariot wheel]
SOCRATES:
*Is that a chariot*?
6
PLATO:
Well
that’s more just a bit of wheel
7
SOCRATES:
So not a *chariot*.
PLATO:
No.
8
SOCRATES:
[Producing another papyrus with the full drawing of the chariot, chopped into boxes]
So if a man were challenged to “tap the boxes containing chariots to prove you’re human” when he was just trying to check his ClubCard points... *where could he tap*?
9
PLATO:
Well you can’t tap any of them really
10
SOCRATES:
So are we not human?
PLATO:
‘Spose not.
11
[Bleak pause]
12
PLATO:
I’ll get the hemlock
SOCRATES:
Yeah

Sigh. Why am I not surprised that the latest use of flags to whip up patriotic hysteria and culture wars is funded and organised by far right criminals? Anyone going along with this and saying "it's not racist" is not paying attention. This kind of patriotism enables bullies to feel virtuous.
Union Jacks and St George’s crosses are going up on lampposts across the UK. The Daily Mail called those behind it an “army of patriots.”
But the truth is very different.

Musk has made clear he is not a ‘fit and proper’ person to be given a foothold in our essential services.
Giving him any influence in our energy market is a risk the UK can’t afford to take.
