Ah, happy 88th anniversary of the day Oswald Mosley tried to sell fascism to Liverpudlians – and someone concussed him with a brick

A man in a suit stands at a microphone which has been mounted on the roof of a van. There are loudspeakers at his feet, and a building behind him. He has an arm raised, and is flinching as projectiles are hurled at him, because he's a fucking Nazi

people ask me how I'm not scared to bike in streets full of traffic but being "car-doored" is my main worry, it can happen fast and is near impossible to predict.

“When streets became calmer & safer, more people felt comfortable trying a bike commute for the first time. Families began pedaling to the park…Local businesses saw new life…And cycling stopped feeling like a niche activity—it became part of everyday Parisian life.”

that's not new, they started this in the early 2010s if I remember well. Maybe they expanded it?

Almost 9 months ago, our press colleague Anas Al-Sharif removed his press vest following the announcement of a ceasefire.

And then we saw what happened next. May we ensure the bombs actually end this time.

I wish he, and so many more, were here with us.

The same Iran that restarted its nuclear weapons program after Trump unilaterally broke Obama's deal and the same Gaza war where Trump gave blank check to Netaniahu and his gang who still massacre tens of thousands and still indiscriminately bomb Gaza?

The payment wasn't for the speeches but for the support Frum gives in his articles and podcasts. The speeches were just a pretext for buying him up.

liaskwerklooi.bsky.social @liaskwerklooi.bsky.social · 2d

let's say I'm paying you to write speeches for me -so I am now your client- and then some day your newspaper asks you to make a profile on me. a) your editor SHOULD be informed of my relationship with you b) you cannot be trusted to write anything critical (or even objective) about your client.
