UK This seems nice. Like ideas, people, politics and a laugh. #FBPE (but not businesses, marketing, crypto, sex bots, religions or just plain weird) I did say NO MARKETERS. And now - no DMs REALLY - NO DMS

Not me.

Lander @landerk.bsky.social · 9h

Just joined! 👍

Lander @landerk.bsky.social · 9h

Yes.
We need Mamdani's and Polanski's.
But they need to know we're behind them in huge numbers.

Lander @landerk.bsky.social · 9h

There does. but apart from a few names. it seems sadly lacking.

That's why the voice of the people is so inspiring.

It just might inspire those who are supposed to be doing this.

So good to see.
Such resistance across the USA

Lander @landerk.bsky.social · 10h

Yes, I have* an enormous nob.

*am

Has to be a wolf.

or wolf-ish?

Lander @landerk.bsky.social · 10h

I hope so too.

But no sweat. I'm in now!
That's what matters 👍

Lander @landerk.bsky.social · 10h

Absolutely.
Russians should retreat to 2014 borders.
All children should be repatriated, with psychiatric care covered.
And reparations imposed for all damage.

I can't see this happening.

Lander @landerk.bsky.social · 10h

Finally got there!

👋

Lander @landerk.bsky.social · 10h

Not yet.
Don't worry, I will get there!

Lander @landerk.bsky.social · 10h

I'm hoping the site was struggling due to over subscription!

It hasn't deterred me. 😜

Lander @landerk.bsky.social · 11h

Yeah.
Why is that?

Lander @landerk.bsky.social · 12h

Sorry, can't do Traitors AND Strictly..

Lander @landerk.bsky.social · 12h

Thanks for that.

I think it's important, absolutely wonderful, and hilarious!

Out of their depth.

Boston: Power Of The People!

Lander @landerk.bsky.social · 13h

Good stuff.

How did the frogs become a motif?

I first saw them in Portland. Is it an Oregon thing?

Lander @landerk.bsky.social · 13h

Yeah.
She wouldn't have been my first choice.

But they gave it to Kissinger too, so it's a dubious honour.

I'm trying to sign up right now.

Their website is claiming 115k, but might be out of date.

They'd have one more if they weren't sending me round in circles clicking JOIN buttons.

So something is coming.

Let's hope he's stripped of all his positions.

Then jailed.

Lander @landerk.bsky.social · 1d

I'm sure it is tricky.
But who wrote the tax laws?
I'm told it's KPMG etc..

Doesn't mean it can't be done.
And you cite some good ideas.

I still feel a more fundamental change is required.

We didn't use to have billionaires or zero hours contract jobs.

Lander @landerk.bsky.social · 1d

You could search Polanski's many recent media interviews.
Or the Green Party's website.

I just agree that we need a rethink.

Too many millionaires, too much poverty. Doesn't have to be this way.

Lander @landerk.bsky.social · 1d

But they can't get decent jobs, are too scared to start familes, and most could never get a mortgage.

Time for a societal rethink.
And only the Greens are talking about it.
