Faint sound of drone here in west Kyiv, and cat is off the bed like a shot and straight under to hide. He won’t come out until it’s quiet for a sufficiently long period of time.
Sound of interceptors going up now, and big bangs - ballistic attack, and cruise missiles incoming.

The whole "natural birth natural life no medicine" crowd is actually more unfathomable to me than even nazis, like I understand what drives a nazi, I cannot wrap my head around the thought process that argues that the best plan is to embrace the methods that historically led to a lifespan of 27 yrs

I will confess, I have never seen a situation before where the grand jury never saw the indictment, so the remedy is unknown, but I can’t believe an unseen indictment could be valid.

If only our society took major crimes by rich people as seriously as minor crimes by poor people. Ideally more seriously. But as seriously would be a big improvement.

crazy how much this bugs me now that someone pointed it out. if i worked at the white house, i would find this ugly, but not as annoying as i do now. ignorance is really bliss bc they more you learn, the more you just walk around thinking "collar gap" and "kerning is off."

The real conspiracy is that the white people on adverts are immigrants too.
Conservative Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp repeatedly refusing to say that he thinks Reform MP Sarah Pochin saying she doesn't like seeing black people on TV was racist.
Says he wouldn't use her "language" but it's right for her to express "legitimate concerns" about migration

Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them

Jo Cox was murdered by a man with a house full of neo-Nazi agitprop and this was then retconned into a vague narrative about social media abuse
And if you're wondering whether someone getting killed is what it will take for the media and political class to come to their senses, I would just remind you that Jo Cox was murdered in a similar moment of demagoguery and hysteria 9 years ago, and if anything things have got far worse since then.
People’s homes are being stormed by far-right groups. The govt. Is saying nothing about how violence like this will not be tolerated. Where is Starmer’s “law and order” now? They’ve no control and we are moments away from someone being killed. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
