Went for a surprisingly rare trip into Bristol yesterday, stopped in Redland park and watched my 9- and 11-year olds play on the same wooden horsie I had lifted them onto as toddlers, had a little cry.

Bristol Labour Councillor takes quick break from making bad-faith criticism of Bristol Greens to do a racism.

Rachel Collinson @rachelbeta.bsky.social · 3h

Labour are going full tilt racist now. Just look at this comment from a Labour and Co-operative Party councillor in a public Facebook group.

It really is sad to see the rapid demise of a once great party. Still, I am joyful and hopeful that we have a rapidly growing and viable alternative.

Facebook post which features two images, both of an unidentified black individual whose face is not visible. In the first they are carrying some sort of frame. In the second image they are holding what looks like a mini fridge.

Underneath there is a comment from Fabian Breckels St George Troopers Hill Labour / Co-operative councillor:

"This idiot needs locking up, and if he's not British, then he needs deporting afterwards."

My brother you are absolutely smashing it and I couldn't be prouder to call you our leader.

And you should put 'Once tweeted "Intolerant? I don't even SEE gluten."' on your CV

Liam Kirby @lkirbyradstock.bsky.social · 1d

And you dress nice too, don't forget to put that in there

Look I think it's good that Your Party want to fly the Socialism flag from the off, but I actually think it's better that the Green Party have developed a Functionally Socialist policy programme from first principles.

Dismiss board gaming as nerd bullshit if you will, but does YOUR hobby provide you with such awesome miniatures of Mothman, a UFO, and Nicola Tesla?
Of course not.

C01, “Reform Trans Healthcare”, put forward by @lgbtiqagreens.bsky.social passes unopposed at Green Party Conference.

It calls for the desegregation of trans healthcare, gender identity clinics to be closed, and an informed consent model for trans health in primary care.

You owe it to yourself to at least watch this incredible video.
But then also buy the record, it rips.

This clip has revealed to me how much my DnD character is subconsciously influenced by a movie I have not watched since it was released

(Especially the various grey/white "school" socks that reflect the changing fashions in socks over the time period it takes for children to outgrow socks)

This is some incredibly relatable content, let me tell you

I think we should keep the "Cutting the half-time orange" thing going as a running bit — whenever Starmer gives a speech we pick one phrase from it and act like we've never heard it before in our lives.

"An Ozymandias Statue in Top Man skinny jeans" is one of the greatest sentences composed in the 21st Century
