I *congratulate* those of you who elected Corbyn as party leader all those years ago, because you "wanted to make a statement". Oh yes, and so you did. It's the statement that just keeps on giving shots in its foot

$30 for 440 masks bought in bulk with free shipping. 3M N-95 being sold cheap because expiration dates may be too soon for institutions to buy. No need to use the flimsy surgical masks when the real ones are available this cheap. 7 cents each.

Will Stancil is seeing the light
Istg online leftist circles contain one of the worst sets of critical thinkers in the history of humanity

Will Stancil is seeing the light
After two years of seeing people openly display racism against Jews and Israelis on British streets, advocating terrorism and Islamism, and mostly getting away with it scot-free, I'm unsympathetic to those who suddenly discover violent racism to be a problem, or who think Musk is to blame.

A gentle whisper, the wind's soft sigh,
Lifts tiny seeds to the open sky.
From a fluffy crown, they drift and dance,
Each a small hope, a future's chance.
Carried on currents, light and free,
To find new ground, where life will be.

For me, long-term (15 years) usage of Twitter meant a great broadening of my perspective, gradual moderation, and becoming much more normie centrist in my opinions. More loudly normie, though.
Warning: Long-term Twitter usage may result in complete loss of perspective and symptoms of hysteria.

This is a very good post from John Matthews (scribejohn.bsky.social) on housing problems in Spain, esp. social housing, & how the present Spanish govt & the Spanish 'left-wing' are only making it all worse, by attacking Brits, Israelis, & tourism in general.

No Israelis... No Brits
Archly left-wing, has Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez lost the plot when it comes to Israelis as well as visiting and property-buying Brits.

So @danielsugarman.bsky.social has written a very good post on what Jews, and anyone who supports them and Israel against racism, in NYC and further afield in the USA can expect, given the experience in the Corbyn years in Britain:
