Another maga loser will gladly spend their hard earned $75 plus shipping for this horrible piece of trash. I hope it’s ends up like the trump watches missing the T.

Picture of cheap trump pink watch made in China missing the letter T which shows “Rump.” Statement reads: Customers upset with Missing ‘T’ in trump-branded watch that cost $640.

My husband @mjowen174.bsky.social really needs some work.
AI has had a very detrimental effect on his earnings this year.
ChatGTP doesn’t have bills to pay and doesn’t have to worry constantly.
Please repost far and wide because I don’t like to see ‘Sad Matt’

If you try to stir up racial hatred and spread your poisonous worldview through misinformation, you deserve to be called out.

The thing I'm "stunned" about is why this isn't the biggest domestic news item on every flipping platform

'Stunned?' Farage's Admission He Knew Nathan Gill but Not His Kremlin Associates Does Not Stand Up to Scrutiny

Insiders have told Byline Times it is 'inconceivable' the Reform Leader did not know about his close aide's pro Russian statements

Highly recommend this podcast on BBC sounds…I didn’t know the McLibel case related to the SDS and the deception by undercover people officers…
Presented by the excellent Mark Steele…

This is from an article on the RTE news app today. @mrjamesob.bsky.social your fame reaches across the Irish Sea. Not sure that you’re that combative really, well not nowadays anyway 😉

Same here! Very efficient. Congrats to the NHS and thank you to all the staff who gave up their weekends to do this. Reminds me of when I was a vaccine steward in the covid times. The centre I volunteered in was next to Heathrow and we did 100,000 vaccines in 2 months.

Number of deportations the ECHR have actually blocked since 1980 - 13 (THIRTEEN).

Please remember this next time some grifting populist claims us leaving the ECHR (and sacrificing the rights it gives us in the process) will allow us to ‘control our borders’.

Having illustrated the problem of X ignoring its legal duties, I want to build an effective coalition for intervention. If you are or know people on X receiving racist abuse, rape threats, I would welcome receipts of one rejected attempt to report to the platform an indefensible case

Sunder Katwala (sundersays) @sundersays.bsky.social · 2d

Thanks for this kind note. I hope to do something useful with this by Nov/Dec (new Ofcom powers, new EHRC chair). I'd like more women + ethnic minorities to go through (futile) process of reporting shocking stuff (eg rape threats, p-word, n-word) & share receipts with me of one egregious example

If I had 6-12 people who had reported something unlawful & obviously indefensible, get the report rejected, and be willing to speak/advocate about it, that would be a good basis for asking a wider group of people - eg MPs - to support the call for an intervention & investigation of legal duties
