Plenty of ire & scorn against all parties, derision is aimed at #Glasman & #MorganMcSweeney . But rare praise from @pecksniffsdiary.bsky.social for our editor in chief - the redoubtable @annadamski.bsky.social . If only she were running the country.

Rep. Adam Smith @adamsmith.house.gov · 8d

Republicans control the House, the Senate, & the White House. It's their job to pass a budget that addresses Americans' needs.

Instead, they shut the government down.

They would rather shut the government down than work with Democrats to protect health care and lower costs.

Have you ever tried to apply for a #job as a #chef or in #hospitality.
Wel don't! Companies, people involved are boring, managers who can't admit the truth & much worse.

As companies in the #hospitality industry (pubs) are starting to add a 12% #servicecharge (which isn't optional), is going to stop people visiting #pubs #restaurants.
The money should go to staff but normally goes to managers or #FOH, but #BOH only get £1.64p/w.

Something is happening in the 'Land of the Free'.

ICE abductions. Military-police fusion. Books removed. A capitol seized, and history rewritten.

This isn’t a warning — this is a chronicle.

Something is rotten in the state of America

Something is truly rotting in America—an autocrat rises, truth dies and too many look away. America’s fall is quiet – but it is happening

Nova Scotia's Angus MacAskill was a legend in his time.
He is considered the strongest man, tallest non-pathological giant and largest true giant in recorded history.
He wasn't just a giant in stature, but in kindness too for how he treated others.
This is his story.

🧵 1/11

A black-and-white photograph of a tall man, Angus MacAskill, standing with his hand on his hip, wearing a military-style uniform with epaulettes and a belt, holding a sword. Beside him stands a shorter man in a dark suit with his hand on his chest. The background is plain and dark.

Anyone advocating for net zero by 2050 is part of the problem.

Anyone advocating for net zero by 2040 is part of the problem.

If you don’t realise yet that the entire economy will be destroyed unless we cut fossil fuel use immediately you are part of the problem.
