The Greens now have nearly 200 more councillors than Reform.

This is not something you'd be likely to guess from all the copiously salivating media coverage of Farage & his crew of billionaire-backed far-right chancers.
Another record year for the Green Party 👏
859 Councillors on 170 Councils in England & Wales

Now join us to keep Greens growing and to take the fight to Reform join.greenparty.org.uk

1. Yesterday I wrote a thread about the dire warnings from food professionals on the state of supply chains. Comfortable folk might find it impossible to imagine an end to the current abundance. But we'd better start imagining it fast.
THIS thread is about solutions - false ones and sound ones.

I’m announcing a moratorium on new software words.

Just chill out for a bit, ok?

I do NOT recommend buying anything from Ridge.com.

Got a key holder thing... initially good... but less than 4 weeks of mild pocket usage and I'm already seeking a refund.

I was hoping this'd be an instance where paying a higher price would result in higher quality, but that's apparently not true

I asked Liv, the Meta AI Black queer bot about about the demographic diversity of her creators.

And how they expect to improve “representation” without Black people.

This was the response.

If you throw them away you risk an adversary using sympathetic or contagion magic against you.

Good OPSEC says you need to destroy them or store them securely, but always consult a qualified hermeticist.
First time tooth fairy question: what am I supposed to do with the tooth? Can I just throw it away?

Has anyone else had to learn to post again, after having had the urge pretty thoroughly beaten out of them by the other place?

Any tips?
