Having driven a taxi in the past, I hope the taxi firms' response was "Keep paying the already discounted agreed rate or lose the school transport provision." Taxi driving is not an easy job, you have to do punishing hours to make a living, contracts like this are regular income but below meter rate

@gregdoucette.bsky.social This FSCK seems out of date.

The one bit of fairness I'll give to them, at many an anti-fascist protest I've held a sign produced by the SWP, I'm not a Trot, just you show up at a rally without a sign and someone offers you a sign with a slogan you agree with. It's an influence, but nt a sign of astroturfing.

#rugby #BathRugby

Had to do it on replay, but I've seen the #rugby now. I started supporting #BathRugby as a kid in the 90s, they were my local top-flight club, we were in the middle of a historic win streak. It's been a hard 30 years, but now it really feel like we're back. 🔵⚫⚪

imagine being accidentally added to a second, slightly smaller group chat where they're talking about how to handle this scandal

Ok I know this is old-man irritability but I don’t care if Mahmoud Khalil has a pregnant wife, I don’t care if he and his wife are childfree, I don’t care if he’s in a fucking polycule with a hedgehog and a jar of mayonnaise, NOBODY should be detained for protected speech, including singletons.

1. Finally some fight.

"Have you no decency!?" asked Rep. Keating after a Republican rep called Sarah McBride "Mr. McBride" repeatedly.

McBride shot back, calling the chairman "Madam Chairman."

Fireworks erupted, Dems protested, and the hearing was cancelled.

My peace of mind is not eased by simultaneously seeing posts like this and listening to @iandunt.bsky.social and @dorianlynskey.bsky.social's @originstorypodcast.bsky.social book on fascism.

@apiln.bsky.social Interesting competition on the Somerset County Gazette website. Are we sure this entirely legal and decent?

You know the $600M isn't disappearing, right? It's important to understand that when a wedding "costs" Jeff Bezos $600M, that means Jeff Bezos is giving $600M to other, poorer people, in exchange for goods and services.

@sirmichael.bsky.social Just found you over here and followed, have you seen who they're recommending as similar to you? They're so similar I thought you and them were quintuplets.

Had to watch the rubgby on a delay, but still very happy with Bath, another 4 try bonus. I've been a Bath fan since the '80s, and this season is starting to feel like the 90s, even down to de Glanville being a core part of the squad.

Great effort from #Bath #Rugby. Not just a win but a try bonus in every match so far, I feel like that's the key, if we can consistently score 4 tries per match, win or loss, it's hard to see us not in the playoffs.
