The load-bearing myth at the heart of UK politics is that the politicians and media are tolerant and decent and working people are knuckle-dragging bigots, but it's actually completely the other way around.
A man on the streets of the UK is asked about the “problem of immigration” and dismantles talking points with ease.

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.

Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.

If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.
Please read our statement, share it with your networks, and support us if you can. www.python.org/sponsors/app... psfmember.org/civicrm/cont...
Oh yeah and the hotel staff! They genuinely loved it. Half of them were sneaking off to get photos, and the 2nd year they commissioned one of the con's artists to make a hotel-staff-only T-shirt design. I've never felt energy like it before or since.
I'd heard they'd gotten rid of the Triumph Bar - if they did, it's a crying shame.

But imagine the Rotunda full of fluffy animals.... that was really a sight.
I'm definitely green, at least when I'm on the clock.

Great news, our application for permission to appeal in our judicial review of the lawfulness of the EHRC's Interim Update (aka 'Interim Guidance') is now with a judge.

Finger crossed, please. We all need some luck right now.

No, bad rat.

Stop hunting your flying cousins.

In that case it's down to whoever's running the list you're looking at to pull the new one from RadioID. They're probably using an old one - it's distributed as a CSV file.

My dad was a polite old gent who passed away aged 89 last spring. Guilt ridden at having no video footage of him, I was terrified I'd forget his voice. Desperately I worked through the 40 one second voice notes he'd sent by accident & was well rewarded with a 'FECKING CUNT'.

Nine months ago I put most of my hope in major institutions continuing to hold fascism in check, but had little expectation that regular people with little to no power would step up and put themselves at risk.

I had it exactly backward.
signs like these are up all over Chicago cafes and storefronts (here, cafes in Brighton Park and Back of the Yards) warning ICE not to enter without a judicial warrant
