Boris Johnson, "I tried to get the scientists to say that lockdown was a bad idea"

*they all laugh*

There were 26,000 covid deaths because Boris Johnson ignored scientists and delayed the first lockdown by a week

Lovecraft was great for world building and the RPG was amazing.

The writing and racism not so much

Truly excited to be teaching an online survey course in Greek literature this fall semester @NewCollegeofFL. Even more excited that it's open to the public. Please join in here! We'll be reading Homer, Aeschylus, Aristophanes, and lots more.

Some of my right wing work colleagues are so triggered by @zackpolanski.bsky.social right now.

Just had to sit and listen to a 5 minute rant about how he's a loony apparently but when I asked why they couldn't really give an answer except "something about arresting people for tweeting"

This is the man the BBC elevated & is refusing to investigate despite @carolecadwalla.bsky.social l & @bylinetimes.bsky.social
having done all the work for them .
Do we have a precedent for a this ? A national broadcaster ignoring possible treason , isn’t that in itself sort of treasonous 🥴 ?

Reform Party UK Exposed @reformexposed.bsky.social · 3d

Seems @Nigel_Farage is trying damage limitation on the Reform Russian Bribes scandal.

He’s known Nathan Gill for 20 years, and claims he knew nothing.

No one believes you, Nigel.

Keep the story moving. Questions must be answered.

Why, even now, is no-one asking questions?

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

31-year-old David Noutch, white British has been charged with racially aggravated assault, threatening with a bladed article in a public place and assault by beating.

It was a White man attacking Non-White people.

Where is the apology from this hateful racist?
