Florida bans "The Diary of Anne Frank" in school libraries. Whoever made this decision should have to eat every page of that amazing book, page by page.

This.

Show them a bit of Chaucer or play some folk music & they’d have no idea what you were talking about.

They love the fantasy version of England in their heads 🤪🤣

The Diary of Anne Frank is among the hundreds of books banned in Florida this year. When I was in school, it was required reading. (Guardian)

@brentaidan.bsky.social @marcusbrent.bsky.social @gidamo.bsky.social and excellent (as ever!) piece from @totalcurtis.bsky.social here. His point about beer being political whatever is true of all things - you can't separate life & politics.

The idea that a craft brewery like Vocation can just say "we're allowed to trade with Israel, the government says so" is pathetic. Like, set yourselves a higher bar then that, guys, for fuck's sake.

But their integrity was gone when it became clear how cheaply they were selling to supermarkets.

For any beer drinkers out there (like me). You should be aware that Vocation, my local brewery and nationally recognised, has started trading direct into Israel. They have chosen now, of all times, to open up this income stream. I have complained and they have ignored it.

Family-owned? Has the ownership structure changed again? I thought Heineken still held a substantial share in the company and is responsible for a significant element of Theakston cask sales through their Star chain.

I don't think I said there's anything wrong in Theakstons cask getting out to pubs. I just happen to think the family-owned brewer line is something of a PR artifice in their case.

I’m not an expert, but this doesn’t seem like a sensible business decision. Full quote in the alt text.

Burberry says they support Pride, but their ads fund GB News.

We teamed up with Stop Funding Hate to remind Burberry that you can’t celebrate LGBTQ+ people while supporting platforms that attack them.

Tell Burberry to pick a side, hate or Pride 👇

Look we're aware you may not agree with our decision to supply beer to the Death Star but it's a very good account and we have to consider a diversity of views and it's not breaking any UK Government rules so morally we're off the hook.

No it's not Islamophobia. It's because you are a capitalist parasite cunt! That's why we don't like about you! TWAT
