We really should do something about Climate Change & Poverty.

He/him.

What happened after 2010?

Seem like Austerity has lead to the rich staying rich and the poor really suffering doesn't it?

We could fix this.

It's left like this because fixing it would be "expensive".

British society is broken.

Some people have responded to that chart with "That can’t be right", or "We can’t be worse than America".

I’m afraid the chart is right. 15 years ago the UK’s record on homelessness *was* not too dissimilar to other developed countries, but things have rapidly deteriorated.

As of tomorrow I'm going to stop using Twitter. This site has been a crutch (and doom spiral generator) for me for too long.

I'm on Bsky if anyone is fussed.

Take it easy everyone.

Liz Kendall, has refused to rule out replacing PIP payments with vouchers

They are revelling in making Disabled people live in absolute terror aren’t they by their stalling & deliberate evasion of answering questions

Disabled people are treated with disdain by every government

[Richard @gamray]

The four day week thing is absolutely mad isn’t it. So much evidence to support it, but we are just absolutely determined to be miserable instead

[Collective @wearecollectiv_]

Big Issue founder John Bird @johnbirdswords has got it worked out. Homelessness is a political choice – and this Labour government, same as the last Tory one, lacks the political will to deliver prevention solutions to a growing crisis of street homelessness.

Think about the amount of time wasted considering what this guy has to say when - like innumerable equally weird and tiresome public figures - a simple “they’re just reactionary wankers who love eating up dumb bullshit they want to hear” would’ve covered it all twenty years ago.

We're such a wasteful society.

[Nate Bear @NateB_Panic]

A genocide has become background noise, just a thing that is constantly happening. Horrific levels of normalisation

[Gledster @Gledster]

As if more proof is needed that in our society threatening capital/money is one of the worst things you can do...

[Premier League Communications @PLComms]

An individual who had been loading illicit streaming services on to so-called “Firesticks” has today been sentenced to three years and four months in prison.

[NJ @NoJusticeMTG]

Longer sentence than people who were doing pogroms a month ago

[Gareth Dennis @GarethDennis]

We MUST listen to the words of people like @thelizcarr on the assisted dying bill. Our state apparatus has a long way to go before the people it ostracizes feel safe enough from such powers to legitimise them.

This is why America is fucked. 41% have medical debt, 650k are homeless, 60% live paycheck to paycheck and Elon Musk is on track to become a TRILLIONAIRE. Tax his ass. Nobody should even be a billionaire never mind a TRILLIONAIRE. I think he’ll get by just fine with 999 million.

[Tamoor Hussain @tamoorh]

This is perhaps the worst possible situation. This dude is a Christian Zionist that believes Israel needs to fulfill a Biblical prophecy to begin the end times. He has advocated for the US to pay for Israel to settle in the West Bank and said Palestinians don’t exist.

[Flying_Rodent @flying_rodent]

War criminals, all.

[Chłoddy @OfSymbols]

This is, I think, the problem with most contemporary things. Once you look into it at all, you realise it’s system after systems, all interlinked, need to be wholly decapitated, as in, the whole upper strata is rotten, both structurally fucked, and populated by psychopaths.

[Gledster @Gledster]

@bencsmoke You're not alone. I honestly think he's mentally damaged in some way.

[Tom Mills @ta_mills]

Not seen this before. Really shocking from @dannydorling's 'Seven Children'.

Average height of five-year-old boys, 1985–2020

British economics: doing the thing costs money, not doing the thing is free, so don't do the thing.
