Today feels special.
According to schedule I have 14 hours of electricity -
I almost forgot what that feels like.
No more darkness for simple things.
A warm shower.
A house that actually feels safe.
Despite last night’s explosions.
Despite the Oreshnik threat.
I’m just happy.

Starmer has little to offer voters of either right or left in Gorton and Denton. That’s why he’s facing a perfect storm | Owen Jones

Amorality implies awareness without care.
What these records reveal is something worse: moral nullification - as if the people harmed don’t matter.
That’s what makes the files so chilling.
Not the revelations themselves, but how ordinary the abuse appears to those at the top.🤮
