Right. If you say anything at all about how utterly shit and reactionary Labour are right now, you are guaranteed to get some smug shiny-brained dickhead popping up to tell you you're enabling Reform. And here's the thing.

Outside chance admittedly but it's not inconceivable that Trump could end up with the sort of Christmas familiar to Romanian TV viewers in 1989.

"Go To School on a Camel" was the second slogan by the people behind "Go
To Work on an Egg" that the tobacco company in question ultimately decided against.

Obviously this is not the point here but I cannot stress adequately how much my kid would want to go to school on a camel.

Kid has drawn a whale-based Pokémon she calls Whaliotto. But she keeps saying it like she's drawn a picture of Ray Liotta.

Not necessarily. She could be Zaphod Beeblebrox in disguise.

Her three arms/hands are the big tell in this case...

V or VI since you ask but I'm not good at organising myself to get it cut so it tends to go all long and wispy and make me look like I'm in denial.

Well, thanks to @trashfuture.bsky.social I have learned that there is a scale that denotes the level of male pattern baldness you're experiencing and well, ain't life grand: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamilto...

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."
Palestinians have families, too.
This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.
I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.

There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.
