Well caring deeply about politics turned out to be a mistake. Time to instead become emotionally invested in a field where I’ll never be let down: sports

(1/4) Religion has always been a political institution, for what is more political than the institution upon which modern society has been built upon. Anyone saying to the contrary is not acknowledging the historic context of the church.
Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

Today is world day of remembrance for road traffic victims.

A day to pause and think about the many people who die on our roads, the many bereaved or living with life changing injuries and the emergency services who deal daily with the distressing and traumatic aftermath of road death and injury.

The UK Department of Transport will allocate £1 billion to provide “London-style” buses to every corner of the country. Funding will be allocated based on levels of deprivation and population so no competing for cash. Note: buses are the most popular form of public transport.

You’re at Labour Party Conference. You’re having a fucking terrible time, your senses overpowered by the smell of cheap hair gel, lynx deodorant and desperation. You think things can’t get worse - but then this face appears, bellowing at you about why paying a tenner to see a GP is socialism

Twitter’s moderation has been dismantled to the point that Lucy Connolly faces a prison sentence following Criminal prosecution for something that no longer triggers any consequences on X.

That’s not a “Free Speech™” problem.

That’s a Hate Speech platform.
