It’s been 29 days since 100% of the Epstein files were supposed to be fully released. Thus far less than 1% of heavily redacted and unexplained files have been released.

Exquisite. #Archaeology
Something beautiful for the weekend! ✨

When you consider Greenland’s entire population is only 56,500, this is a staggering and historic turnout.

Thousands seen here marching to protest at the US Consulate on the island.

An entire nation united in defiance against a foreign adversary.

With rather dark northern humour, forgive me, the gastric med Omeprazole does this too. If only the wind it causes could be exploited rather than blowing over the back fence, elderly people, and tree falls. (Noting some USA folk who trump suggest turbines cause homosexuality). A musical.

TJ Sabula, my constituent & a UAW worker, has been suspended after Trump flipped HIM off and said "F*ck you" to him.

This is unacceptable. NEVER believe MAGA when they cry about the 1st amendment.

Since Trump can't fire me, I'll say it:

Donald Trump is a pedophile protector.

My feet today. What you reckon? Yes, painful. All post Covid #LongCovid (6yrs). Or "just try get out a bit more"? Can't even get flipflops on. Sent to GPs who seem to ignore. Summuts not reet. Evolution? Gay to hooves? OFFGS. But a nice rug and pot.

@octopus.energy Hello, credit where it's due. Your Help team Chloe phoned today, twice (& left a message). Me: #LongCovid health disability since 2020, life upside down. She helped, listened carefully, human : human, VOICE so much better than online. So, thank you. Not many say that. We need help.

Hey, Media, speculators, deniers: come have a conversation with a #LongCovid person. Many of us wave 1 in 2020. It was all about hand-sanitizing, nothing about the air. Come hear us talk, losing every 2nd word, stringing sentences (not prison but kinda). Our brains stop to re-boot. The DISAPPEARED.
We know that covid can damage the brain. We don’t know how this will impact society. Governments need to change their pro infection approach to one of actively encouraging vaccines, ffp2 & rolling clean air. Instead of this we are allowing science fact to be obliterated by antiscience.

This is why I'm not always in a good mood, or able to function since 2020. It's one part of #LongCovid which our government ignores. "Get back to work". Practically every bullet here is also, if they bothered, a different GP referral to a different specialist. Many of us can barely walk.

This is part of a thread related to the economic Module of the ongoing #LongCovid Inquiry (UK). It hits a particular nerve for most of us - zero help or support. "Were" past tense is "Are" b/c 1000s of us remain unsupported, financially or medically. It's too late for some, lives upside down.
“Many of those with Long Covid were left to bear the economic burden caused by the pandemic without support.”

Yep. He should be knighted or damed, or simply hooded. Meantime, this still makes me cry a bit in an oppressed world. (There're better vids, but start with one note, called brilliance). -SCx

As a huge fan of #DrWho and #BillBailey (he's not here on bsky, is he? ) and #jazz (although not this style, tbf) I don't know how it took me four years to find this bit of sheer brilliance.

Noting that most sensible fair-minded people (and organisations) have quit X anyway. I have, like so many, don't miss it or the pervasive toxicity. Lawful or not, it's become pointless after Musk.
Two issues being conflated here: if UK government continue to use the X platform, it becomes imperative it should insist on that platform being lawful: govt slow to notice/acknowledge X is obvs in systemic breach of its legal duties: eg abusive racial slur "paki" + nonconsensual sexual harassment
Government should stay on X despite the Grok scandal, Keir Starmer's former communications director has said

James Lyons, who worked at TikTok before serving in Downing St, told PolHome podcast The Rundown that quitting Elon Musk's platform would leave a "vacuum" for Labour's rivals to fill
