Antifa agent.
Amazing photo.
While I hope none will try to calculate how many are Jewish and draw conclusions from that, I can't help noting the contrast between the facial expressions of the chap behind the bar, and Pinker, who looks happier to be there than I've ever seen him before.

And... No ladies?!

I'm over 5 years vegan and I don't regret a moment of it. I do regret causing direct harm to animals with my choices.

I have no idea why it's so hard for some to make the connection between humans and animals. Humans are evolved animals, we don't need to exploit them, it's a choice.

Go vegan

“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”
As ICE Street Raids Ramp Up, New Yorkers Stock Up On Whistles
Taking a cue from Chicago, community groups have distributed thousands of whistles in recent weeks — a grassroots system people in other cities have adopted to help neighbors sound the alarm.

Q. Why do autistic kids wear ear defenders?
A. So they can’t hear Richard Tice moaning about a perfectly reasonable protective measure.
I think you can get the measure of the deadness of someone's soul from the fact they kick up a stink about [checks notes] autistic kids wearing ear defenders

Hey Blue Labour, you are dividing the country even more!

I'm very unhappy with you making people of various heritages (including mine - White, British with a bit of Spanish) feel very uncomfortable in the country of their birth

It's not going to end well

Had a routine MRI yesterday. Silly me, I forgot to ask the doctor what she was concerned about or what she was looking for. I even forgot to ask which part of my body she was looking at. Oops!

Oh, well, hopefully I’ll remember to ask those very basic questions at my upcoming routine MRI next week!

Manchester Grammar School now checking the records to make sure that it did teach about the German approach to assets in the camps for Jewish people

Sad to see supposedly decent human beings killing the Labour party and besmirching our country

Have they completely lost their moral compass?

Yes
Govt minister Alex Norris is asked if the govt will take jewellery from people [fleeing war and persecution]. Norris says the govt won't be taking peoples wedding rings but they will seize assets.

Empire with @davidolusoga.bsky.social is a fascinating series & a must watch. Only disappointment is that it was only 3 episodes not 4 where more on the British rule across the Middle East could’ve been covered. Maybe too contentious? Anyway, riveting & an uncomfortable level of pomposity on show.

Willfully ignoring science - especially in vital areas like health, safety, defense, education, climate, and the economy - is a recipe for disaster. We are crippling our nation by dumbing down our children, just to coddle those who are fearfully insecure in their religious faith.

I wish I had the privilege of not seeing a screaming hypocrite clearly happy in her position at the top of English culture and no doubt enjoying the educational, health etc benefits life here has offered to an immigrant's descendant, propagating simplistic xenophobic shite.
Labour's Shabana Mahmood: "I wish I had the privilege of walking around this country & not seeing the division that migration... is creating across this country... unlike him... I'm the one that's regularly called a fucking P*ki & told to go back home... the system is broke" #ukpolitics

53 & the only bloke in an office with five women aged between 23 & 30. They're all overly nice to me, make me brews & give hugs. Thought I still 'had it' until one of them said they all see me as their 'work dad'. I've never been brought down to earth harder in my life.
