I've been Charley on social media for over a decade & I've also had IRL harassment so no personal photo or surname on my profile.

But if you ever want to know what I'm like & who I am, in 2018 I did a video for Final Say for All about me & why Brexit was personal:

I would like to do that but I've got kidney stones and they really fucking hurt.

Codeine will sort me out but I resist taking it because the consequences tomorrow will also fucking hurt.

Inside the New Right, Where Peter Thiel Is Placing His Biggest Bets
They’re not MAGA. They’re not QAnon. Curtis Yarvin and the rising right are crafting a different strain of conservative politics.

2009 Peter Thiel: The Education of a Libertarian

"I no longer believe that freedom + democracy are compatible"

"Since 1920, the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries + the extension of the franchise to women... have rendered the notion of “capitalist democracy” into an oxymoron"

When Trump says there are fires everywhere in Portland, is it possible that he's just seen the footage of smoke and tear gas grenades set off by his goons?

Or is someone feeding him fake news?

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

In Minnesota, 118 students are also under quarantine in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.

Who did Nigel Farage have lunch with after resigning as UKIP leader 4 July 2016?

Why, it's Russian bribe enthusiast Nathan Gill, who then did the important news briefing on his behalf to Russia Today.

Why was Putin's mouthpiece so interested?

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

What would Jesus do? Get pepper sprayed like the rest of us, standing up to oppression.

Melanie D’Arrigo @darrigomelanie.bsky.social · 3d

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

I think if you are collecting them for republication then you should, just to do it right.

But if you didn't put Simpson in 2017 (haven't checked) then you could put them both in 2018

Jane @localnotail.bsky.social · 15h

Did you remember that "you have mistakenly included a picture of Alan Simpson instead of Ray Galton - it was Ray that died in 2018, not Alan who died in 2017."
