Everyone should be listening to the call going on with @mrjamesob.bsky.social right now. And the clip should be sent out far and wide. It’s harrowing and so poignant.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social a truly unhinged headline, if ever there were one?!
So we've gone from "he never said anything Nazi" to "well he might have said something Nazi but not in a hurtful way" to "well okay he probably did say something Nazi in a hurtful way, but didn't we all?"

He did not declare that Reform had just received a £9 million donation from one of its biggest investors

I hear there’s an argument going on in the UK right now about whether or not Donald Trump incited the crowds to violence around January 6th. Apparently the BBC in a documentary showed edits of his speech that misrepresented what he said.

Another new Reform UK councillor quits, just a few months after being elected. Another £25,000-odd by-election on the way.

Not saying that @dimension20.bsky.social and @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social should run a campaign styled around a blood bowl x rugby theme, guest starring the Maher sisters/ @ilonamaher.bsky.social but I’m not not saying it…

Sat on a train, barely one butt cheek can fit on the seat, legs can’t fit between rows of chairs or under the table. Frustrating for sure that just being very tall makes public transport and many other situations, physically uncomfortable. So, what about everyone else, got any peeves like this?
