Here’s the clip (which I will once again note for out-of-context reposts, is a total bullshit conspiracy/fake news).

I spend weeks off social media and feel much happier. Then drunkenly think "let's check into Bluesky, see what's happening". Instant bad mood. See next retweet.

‘There’s a basic decency among British people’: Hope Not Hate’s Nick Lowles on how to defeat the far right

Lowles has spent his entire adult life organising against fascism, facing countless threats as a result. He discusses the street confrontations of the 80s, foiling a murder plot, Nazi satanists – and the urgent need for optimism and action

Anti-racism norms are good and should be socially enforced

I have some books to read, some TV series to watch, some friends to chat to and some music to listen to instead. See you anon.

I'm going to take a bit of a break from here, as I already spend too much time thinking about politics as it is ... and trying to resist the urge to respond to people's "takes" is not helping me on the mental health front, quite frankly.

Some advertising execs must have decent tastes in music, I suppose.

Bloody hell, they're using The Slits' cover of Heard it through the Grapevine in an advert.

Good of the players to allow themselves to get absolutely stuffed, for some real Heywood Road nostalgia 😉

Hugo Collingridge @hugoc.bsky.social · Sep 5

Back at Sale's old ground, in yer' actual suburb of Sale. Small but perfectly formed. Here to watch a pre-season friendly against Connacht.

Thank God for the Rugby season. Now I can give my brain a break from worrying about, well, just about bloody everything, by worrying about fifteen blokes chucking an oval-shaped ball about instead.

So proud of Angela Rayner, caught out by the complexity of trust law and acting with the highest standards of ethical responsibility to resign . Unlike ‘seven flats ‘ Jeremy Hunt and he was only one of very very many .

Now for Farage to resign as MP for tax dodging .

Greater Manchester has been the fastest growing part of the country in the past decade – measured either by total growth or by productivity growth. I’ve had a look into the data to try to work out what is growing and why.

Below are some of the things I have found.

I am genuinely astonished by all those American patriots who go into raptures over trad, based, family, Christian, the thin blue line, the spirit of '76, minutemen, brave underdogs with weapons in hand kicking ass, revolutions for freedom, nation, and values...

Replace 'key' with 'security pass' and this could be someone's working life now. Good to see some things haven't changed after several centuries.

Samuel Pepys @samuelpepys.bsky.social · Sep 1

So to my office, but missing my key, which I had in my hand just now, makes me very angry and out of order, it being a thing that I hate in others, and more in myself, to be careless of keys, I thinking another not fit to be trusted that leaves a key behind their hole.
