Unearned income from capital vs earned income from working everyday.

People the Tories keep telling us are lying in bed with the blinds closed while we get up at 0530 to go to work aren't workshy benefit scroungers, they're the lazy ultra wealthy who never need to work a day in their lives.
🤑 Ever wonder how the rich keep getting richer, and why the rest of us can’t keep up?

The difference is: we work.

Imagine how ignorant one would have to be not only to reject the validity of climate science, but to ban information gathering which could help protect your fellow national (and global) citizens.

This man is not our friend. He is killing millions already (US Aid), & that no. will grow.

The US administration has killed off lots of climate datasets

@imincorrigible.bsky.social so funny that the person who wins the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize is from the country that Trump is agitating war/regime change with.

Quite.

I think the blame here lies squarely with Starmer's acceptance of the 'culturally hard right' Blue Labour bullshit.

He needs to grow an ethical backbone.

Imagine you're in a weird romcom where Paul Hollywood is your rival. Do you go "let's have a bread baking competition" or do you emphasise your own relative strengths?

Because that in short has been the central problem with the traditional two's approach to anti-immigration voters and Reform UK.

In the real world, the last PM, a Conservative, actually defended this stuff, to the point of saying that British multiculturalism works and taking real political damage to do so. Some Labour people are so convinced of their superior virtue they don't seem to realise it's about what you *do*.

The Labour government's response to a summer of open racism, including physical attacks and the demonisation of some of its own Cabinet, has been to hide. 'Anti-racism' is something you actually have to do, not something you are. Seriously, why can't people like this hear themselves?
Ouch. I’m talking about a general approach, not a single instance. And I think you’ll find, as a generalisation admittedly, that Labour supporters are anti-racism.

Straight up misinformation from Justin Webb. I'm sure he has no idea what is actually on here and is just recycling claims from right wing X accounts.
Justin Webb just referred on Today to "platforms like Bluesky, where you can see the celebration of the killing" of Charlie Kirk.

What I'm seeing on here is overwhelming condemnation; despair at the violence of US politics; alarm at where this might go; & calls for equal horror at other shootings.

The Government is doing its best at the moment to imply it has no problem with the ethnonationalism now rearing its ugly head. And I don't understand why. 1/5

@nickscottnolan.bsky.social Can I just say, as the parent to 3 little ones, how much I appreciate BBC kids content! Justification of the license fee on its own. No English speaking channel makes better content in my opinion. Thank you.

Hi everyone! I have a favour to ask, I am trying to build my experience on here. Any tips? I am sick to death of Elmo and would like something a little less toxic and Far Right. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Can I ask LAWYERS on Bluesky? What rights do performers have over their image when it comes to AI? If I send a self tape/audition can companies use my likeness to copy for AI without permission? Can they use my image from public pages like social media?

Yesterday I was thinking about why I think the horseshoe theory (far right and far left almost meet) is potentially misleading, although superficially attractive.

This morning I found this 👇 by Lipset, which states it well.

There is a democratic continuum and an extremist one.

Do people like the format of this site? I am just wondering if there is any plan to upgrade this site/app because it could do with sprucing up a bit and making it a bit more user friendly.
