lmao "bucking tradition" is a funny way of saying using the national guard to occupy americna cities.

First past the post is insane.

Pretty wild that reform could have a quarter of the votes and still have a majority

Only correction I would make is that while big climate science names may not be talking about how genocide also causes ecocide, many others have made the point.

"It is one thing to live under an unlawful occupation, overwhelmed with fear, frustration, and anxiety, but it is another, deeper wound to know that much of the world, and many of our fellow Christians, are allowing this to happen."

I demand a union representative.

An interesting note where Felix Guattari compares Donald Trump as real estate mogul to algae (from The Three Ecologies, originally published in 1989).

British politics is basically a doom spiral of increasingly unhinged hostile policies.

Reform says something unhinged
⬇️
Labour counters with their own unhinged policy
⬇️
Tories shout from back they'll be even more unhinged
⬇️
Reform announces different unhinged proposal in response
⬇️
And repeat...🔁

Wild that someone would rather scapegoat immigrants and be complicit in genocide when this exists.

Hell yeah Lee Bains kicks ass.

Thank you for being the moral voice and saying no to digital ID

Damn, the public diner is so cool. Such a great example of the power of universalism!

I don't go to an Episcopal/Anglican church anymore, but I am a former vestry member and indebted to that community to becoming the annoying church person I am now.

In case you're curious. In the past, Mullally has supported

- LGBTQ+ rights
- Abortion rights
- The ordination of women (duh)
- Described herself as a feminist.

I'll say a big prayer for her future leadership and against her haters.

Definitely lacking the magic and mystery of electing a new Pope, but cool all the same.

Jonathan Evan's the chair of the committee that nominated her said he wanted to avoid a list of candidates “all of whom are white, Oxbridge, male and come from the southeast of England.”

I guess I'm glad they even took one step in the right direction.
