I asked my MP to press for immediate legal recognition of #humanistmarriages in England and Wales. The Government promised action but keep putting it off. humanists.uk/take-action-...

Write to your MP: Legally recognise humanist marriages, now!

I also think the JCVI really isn't fit for purpose if they don't realise this.

I pointed out to my company's HR department that it's ridiculous that they offer us flu jab vouchers but not COVID ones. All they need to do is look at their sickness figures.

They make up lies about paid agitators doing violence, and attach them to the name of a prominent Jewish person. This is antisemitism, and it infects every part of the GOP.

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

Polanski expertly dismantling the "rich people will move if we tax them" narrative, while Denham nimbly demonstrates how very patriotic such people are.

Eddie Burfi @eddieburfi.bsky.social · 1d

Former Head of Comms for the IEA, Annabel Denham, says the super rich will leave if we have a wealth tax.

Yes, the very same IEA that brought us Liz Truss’ disastrous mini budget. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Green Party leader Zack Polanski explains that their taxable assets can’t leave. #bbcqt

I think it's just a service reminder, but as the shop I bought it from has gone out of business it will be there for evermore.

Very nice. I love Home Assistant.

What plug is that? My TAPO keeps losing its network settings so I'm after something else.

There's still beauty out there.

Yeah, yeah. I know. America is important. But I'm so fucking sick of it absolutely dominating the UK news cycle. I get it. You voted in a turd and now you're swimming in fascist shit. But we have our own rightwing wanklord problems that need more national coverage.

Comedians who will do a gig for Amnesty International and then in their same lifetime comedy-wash Saudi Arabia are contemptible. Of course I'm not surprised by some, others I am utterly disgusted by. I'm not angry, I'm disappointed. Fuck that, I'm angry and disappointed alongside Saudi women.
