Over past day or so notice I’ve gained a large amount of followers. No idea why & tbh I don’t use this site enough to follow most back so no worries if you want to unfollow. Also this is a pretty boring account.
Quite a few are news aggregator accounts, & sorry but not my thing to follow those back

Political donations = Big govt contracts.

Josiah Mortimer @josiah.writes.news · 9h

Autonomy Institute: "A new report calls for a ban on political donors being considered for public contracts after finding 373 companies made a total of over £60 billion following their donations."

29 firms donated £11m+ to the Tories & were then awarded contracts worth £2.3 billion from 2015-2024

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Guillermo del Toro quote "...think about wealth for me for example. A wealthy man that has enough..."

"not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite somebody to beer..."

"...you're rich. If you have, whatever-"

"- yachts and planes and islands and you STILL need more? You're not rich."

@realgdt.bsky.social is my favorite,and I fully believe that’s because of his humanity and how it shines through his movies.The value of life is critical; chasing dreams,hope,community,repulsive violence and ugly flaws, to confronting death.His lens is grounded in the love of life and its potential.

Every study about vaccines that comes out is like "this vaccine is 97% effective at preventing this disease & also 3 other diseases & it somehow helps you play the violin beautifully" and antivaxxers are doing their own research that's telling them they can cure measles by eating polar bear liver.

Meanwhile, the Bible clears up who the sinner is here

New King James Version
And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire

It speaks volumes about the dire state of British politics that an MP can say that she gets mad about seeing Black and Asian people in adverts on TV and she hasn't immediately been expelled from her party - a party that hopes to form the next Govt.

Disappointed but loads to be optimistic about as a Barca fan. A full strength Madrid side only just beat a depleted Barca team, who really should have equalised in that 2nd half. Really confident we finish above them in La Liga. Kudos to the best refereeing display I’ve seen all season.

Gotta say, not sure if it's the smartest thing for the whole Spanish media ecosystem to constantly try to portray the best Spanish player as a villain in a World Cup season. It's even worse that the Catalan media also does this, but that's a whole different issue.

After the clean sweep last season must be a huge moment for them to have this moment. Barça can remember this, more Clasico’s to come #ViscaBarca

James @jaym7.bsky.social · 1d

Suppose at least we know Pedri will get a rest. Another triumph for club seniorio in victory too…
Most disappointing thing is that most issues were cause by ourselves, though players out definitely an issue too.

Will never understand how a barge like that from Carvajal isn’t a penalty. Knew exactly what he was doing and where he was looking

James @jaym7.bsky.social · 1d

Regardless of final score here, lots for Hansi to work on, and Deco too

James @jaym7.bsky.social · 1d

Superb from Szczesny! Justice done!
Hopefully a wake up call, the attack for the pen from poor/weak play from Rashford

James @jaym7.bsky.social · 1d

Ridiculous that’s given as a penalty. How the fuck does a defender do anything else with his arm in that type of movement. I guess Perez won’t be having any complaints on his channel now. Standard from his mob

💭 Such a disappointing First-half. We played it like we were more scared of conceding than actually scoring the goal ourselves. We are leaving so much space in the middle and None of our forwards tracking back most (majority of the time).

Need more aggression from Barça here, dont just mean in challenges but with pressing and how we attack. Not enough intent to hurt Madrid when on the ball & need to be braver when on the ball
