Yo hoo. Lefty af, neurospicy with even spicier opinions, writer, standup comedian, owner of a really fucking annoying but mostly otherwise lovely dog

Does anyone else feel thoroughly desensitised to events like Bondi in the midst of the ongoing genocide in Palestine as well as the ongoing horrors of capitalism?

Totnes' 4th Community Assembly was a hit! Almost 100 people packed out the Civic Hall & had a great discussion about housing, the most pressing for local residents.

My new favourite thing, upon recognition that my time really is less important than that of others, and after driving way more carefully anyway while in my van, is to let basically everyone in in front of me. It makes driving so much more pleasant an experience.

Eventful 48 hours. Got kettled on Saturday in Exeter, van now stuck in the mud on Dartmoor since last night, ran out of water, and some cunt just kicked my dog for growling at his.

The Hollywood version of Chekovs Gun is that if at any point a character is seen coughing blood onto a handkerchief, they must die by the end

We think of our conscious minds as if they're the rider on a horse, but our studies into neuroscience show that they're just telling stories about the journey, so our consciousness is more like the hat on the riders head.

I wonder if there's ever been a writer called 'Paige' who's married a man with the surname 'Turner'

If you're asking or expecting emotional intelligence and bravery from others, please bring some of your own.

The worst aspect of the male experience is to be constantly prejudged and avoided on the basis of the behaviour of other men, which is a fucking drag

For those in favour of a two state solution, can you provide an example in history of where partition along religious grounds has gone anything other than shockingly awfully?

When anyone promotes capitalism / colonialism by pointing out 'we built the roads & trains in X country', point out that such transport links almost exclusively run from mines etc to trading ports, ie in the interest of extraction by foreign multinationals rather than servicing local interests.

Why would, or should Hamas disarm entirely while the IOF remains fully armed and liable to break the ceasefire like they have done many times before?

Spain has implemented an arms embargo against Israel, showing how it’s done. Every other state that does not follow suit, and which continues to supply arms to the Zionists, must be understood as not only complicit but a partner in the genocide.

Lots of joy in discovering media, catching up, and then consuming as it comes out. Season 6 of Blowback podcast is just starting! If you like history and are leftist, you'll love it. No ads.

If we'd collectively maintained the same direction of travel of morality from the Victorian age and past the free love of the 60s, we'd be watching sex idol rather than pop idol

I'm not American so I don't know much about Charlie Kirk, but one thing I have learned over the past two days is that if you post about him, you get an awful lot of death threats from the people who oppose political violence ♥️

"I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that — it does a lot of damage."

The killing of Charlie Kirk is getting more widespread condemnation and sympathy than 5-year-old Hind Rajab who was shot at 355 times by an Israeli tank in Gaza.

Are Palestinian life’s worth less than politicians?

Hearing a good few liberals saying 'but he had a wife and kids'. I don't have a wife or kids, so the direct implication is that his life matters more than mine.
