Fascist Reform leader Richard Tice would get REALLY upset if you shared this widely on all forms of social media so lots of people can keep it and bring it out before the next election to show that he is as big a liar as Keir Starmer.
So please don't, he would be *very* upset.

The big daily task for many trauma survivors that goes unacknowledged by others in their sphere is how to realistically manage thoughts & feelings, while coping w/ physical fatigue, pain, & other limitations not even their own health care providers adequately understand or treat.

Using a search engine is a bit like asking a librarian for help. Using GenAi is like asking an actor pretending to be a librarian for help.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

The move into individual nuclear family homes was a huge mistake. We are all isolated now, causing depression and loneliness in old age. We should be living in multi-family, multi-generational shared spaces, like tribes

Settling down to sleep when nearly 2stone of cats landed on my belly out of nowhere! Looked up to see Oshin with a wide eyed Finbar in a headlock... love these guys so much but did not factor in their combined weight crashing onto me in the dark! Absolute loons...

People say autistic humans “overreact.”
What they don’t see is the hours, days, years we’ve spent holding ourselves together for their convenience.
A meltdown isn’t an “overreaction.”
It’s the body saying I’m done absorbing what you refuse to notice.
Let that sink in folx.

I’ve never met an autistic person whose “behaviour” wasn’t completely logical once you understood their needs, their history, and their nervous system.
We’re not confusing.
People just aren’t listening.

It’s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what he’s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.

News about the state of the world in general has become unbearable.
Living in the West feels like being a passenger in a car with no headlights or brakes, speeding down the wrong side of the motorway at night, and the 6-year old driver is in the middle of an intense psychotic breakdown.

The Roman Empire prospered due to open borders, mass immigration and diversity then fell because of huge wealth inequality and corrupt leadership. I just thought I'd mention it.

Someone who "looks good for their age" has managed to shave a few years off. Someone who has procedures to look 20 years younger, looks ridiculous - to everyone.

When we had billionaires like Gates that funded charity we were relaxed about them. But some of us warned you: it's still just one man's whim. He could defund the work instantly. Musk proves the point. The way to ensure billionaires' money isn't used for ill is through taxation

At least it's honest, right? Intrusive questioning of women who don't conform to norms about how they should look, and women then being banned if they tell their inquisitor to mind his own sodding business, has always been the logical end point for the patriarchal project that is TERFdom.
