I’m a woke, politically correct snowflake who’s prone to virtue signalling.
Or as I prefer, I’m aware of injustice, I’m not an arsehole, I’m offended by arseholery in others, and I try to encourage people to join me in helping whoever needs help.
Not gonna apologise for it.

Key to this is calling it what it is and them what they are, OUT THERE.
It’s all well and good naming the threat to our online circles, but more often than not we’re interacting with people who already know.
It’s the people who aren’t in these circles who need to hear it.

“When fascism begins to creep in around us…. Trusting your instincts, naming the threat and sharing your fears isn't just cathartic - it's empowering. It might even save your life.”

With the world looking increasingly more dangerous and the US turning into a basket case, it’s time to have a long, hard look at who our ‘special relationship’ ought to be with.

Thought experiment for Labour…
With over 4yrs and a huge majority, why not stir it up? Pitch your tent defiantly on the liberal lawn, loudly reject the epic failures of Brexit and rightwing immigration ideology and see how many liberal votes you gain instead of chasing Reform into a toxic dead end?

Last I checked, burning wood kicks crap into the atmosphere regardless of where the wood comes from.
Shouldn’t we be more concerned that burning wood is still a thing?

Axel Rudakubana was not born with an interest in extreme violence.
Something, probably many somethings, made him that way.
I do so often wonder in situations like this, how much responsibility we as a society share for the eventual, devastating outcome.

I find these questions fascinating:
Is #AI capable of creating something new?
Is it just rearranging of other existing ideas?
Is it a substitute for human creativity?

Just heard Suella Braverman said that Italy *has a wall on its border with Turkey and that she's seen it*.
1. Italy doesn't share a border with Turkey.
2. At their closest points they're around 670km/416 miles apart.
3. She's a fucking asinine shit-muppet.
