Spain has declared a state of emergency and evacuated 10,000 people from the Madrid area at the same time as France is asking for emergency help from the EU for combating forest fires. There's untold horros approaching if we don't do something.

3/4 of *Reform* voters support a £2 cap on bus fares.

The whinging on X isn’t real.

Nothing like a by-election to force you back into political reality.

This is fantastic news.

Any Leftist who doesn't laugh at the Death of Stalin isn't actually a Leftist, they are a Campist or an EXTREME level LARPer

Britain's average economic growth in the 1970s was 2.66%.

In the 2010s, it was 1.98%.

So far in the 2020s, it's 1.07%.

That lower economic growth is a lot less equitably distributed than it was in the 1970s.

Average real wages growth in the 70s? 3.2%.

In the 2020s? 0.9%.

Yeah, means you have to do a massive lifestyle change.
1. Cut off all your previous friends.
2. Get all Paradox Interactive DLC subscriptions
3. Hit the maps for at least 5 hours per day.

just in case you wanna know the state of the asoiaf fandom today. the rumor that the new book was coming out moved absolutely no one, but it was the publisher denying it that gave everyone hope😐

How does the boot of Donald Trump taste?

If this happens I'll apologize to France

@DrAllyLouks @AyoCaesar Oh my life, a Dr Louks and Ash Sarkar crossover? Just when I thought you couldn't get any more awesome

I can't stop thinking about 1 sentence in today's UN report regarding Israel's genocide in Gaza.

"Israeli security forces shot at & killed civilians, including children who were holding makeshift white flags. Some children, including toddlers, were shot in the head by snipers.”

[Comrade Ravid @DaveDaRave26]

@yasminarmendari @novaramedia That was for registering interest and newsletter, not official membership sign ups I believe. This split/disagreement between Corbyn and Zarah is regarding the launching of the official membership model.

[emily north @north0fnorth]

lab-grown meat, non-animal butter, and similar stuff that lets people consume animal products without harming animals is genuinely one of the coolest technological achievements of the contemporary era. i’m not even vegan and it still seems like such an obvious ethical improvement

[Comrade Ravid @DaveDaRave26]

@KarolusWangus @overly_chilled @Alonso_GD This is talking about an Aztec mass grave, not the Inca. Maybe read the article you're trying to use as a gotcha before using it as evidence, rather than not even bothering to read the title ('found in Mexico' - the Inca were in the Andes)

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

He says here that "obviously it's antisemitic" to chant "death to the IDF".

This is insane.

The IDF is a military force which, according to a consensus of a genocide scholars, is committing genocide.

But its crimes are armed by our politicians and whitewashed by our media.

@BromTitus @sw_holocron Iirc, I read their designs were actually based off Neimoidian skeletons

Why do the Scottish - whose water is pure, fresh, publicly-owned nectar - drink more water than the English - whose privately owned water tastes like rust-funnelled pish?

Hmmmm....
