Absolute bare minimum, a day later, while not acknowledging the scale of the problem, Musk's involvement, nor Labour's own culpability. You were defending the flag fuckers mere days ago.

Police Scotland officers once again showing their true colours!

This is the most aggressive & heavy-handed policing of an LGBT+ event/protest I'm aware in at least the last 18 months.

@policescotland.bsky.social just pissed away whatever tiny sliver of goodwill they've gained in the last few years
BREAKING: Clashes between pro-trans protesters and Police Scotland in Glasgow's West George Street amid attempts to stop a police van removing other activists.

One person is seen being tackled to the ground as officers shove others.

When I said that, I was having a much needed rest day today, and the world can burn to the ground for all I care, I didn't mean it quite this literally

This! I've been saying/thinking basically this since around 2017.

Trump is canny. He knows how 'the system' works & how to game it to his advantage. He is not smart, but he's not a complete idiot.
There's a lot of similarity in popular perception to him and, say, Boris Johnson.
Observing Trump and Starmer yesterday, I was struck by the notion Trump is clever but not smart. He isn't stupid but is seriously uneducated beyond his frame of reference - pursuit of wealth and ego gratification. He knows far too little history, geography, and sociology to be a world-class leader.

Christ! Keir Starmer's Labour Party really are speedrunning Blairite Labour, complete with Cash-for-Honours 2: Corruption Boogaloo

This is not funny. The plane rolls to a defensive position when it’s scared.

The best time to read this was 15 years ago but I guess the next best time for the rest of us is now.

US is now unfortunately waaay past the point of looking for early warning signs but there is a bit of truth in 'America sneezes, the rest of the world catches a cold'

Just started watching Season 1 of 'The Terror' about the *very* ill-fated Franklin expedition. Don't think anyone's coming for me, so I'm well and truly fucked
