We didn't survive and thrive as a species because we had warriors or hunters - pretty much every omnivore can manage that.

We did so because we developed Grandmothers, and domesticated Dogs.

Community is what defines us as a species, and every "self-reliant" libertarian shitweasel be damned.
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Chatted to my great uncle yesterday – a northern, working-class guy, not that political. I told him my job involved exposing Farage.

His first question was: “who funds him?”

Investigations into Farage’s donors can have a major impact on Reform’s support – as this research has already shown 👇

Stop the abuse of the *one thousand survivors* now. Epstein stole their youth.
Allow their future to have some peace.
🚨This DOJ/admin is further abusing these survivors.

In their quest to destabilize the Middle East, Israel is now destabilizing Africa.

Israel wants to use Somaliland as a forward base to attack the Houthis in Yemen.

Israel’s recognition of Somaliland is purely from a place of Israel’s desire to form a greater Israel.

I am still genuinely blown away by this from Badenoch. The level of racism, ignorance, outright lying, going on here is off the charts. It is astounding that we have sunk to such lows that this is treated as a "normal" message from the leader of the opposition.

There are now seven countries powered entirely by renewable energy.

Albania, Bhutan, Nepal, Paraguay, Iceland, Ethiopia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo—generate over 99.7% of their electricity from hydro, geothermal, solar and wind.

Global energy transition is happening and unstoppable.

To anyone interested, the reason why the right are so against wind turbines is they are so good, it’s potentially free electricity for the world indefinitely.

That’s why they’re so against it.

I have cats. I like cats. I am occasionally interested in some posts about pretty/funny cats. But the mis-spelled baby talk in posts about cats by “hoomums” is a complete and utter turn off. “Show less like this”! Bluergh

Il est alors arrêté et condamné le 17 février 1527 à être décapité sur la place de la Cohue à Lesneven ; on lui coupa son bras droit, qui fut attaché à un poteau près des douves du château de Lesneven et sa tête fut piquée sur un pieu pour être exposée.

Jehan Marec’h, seigneur qui habitait le manoir de Guicquelleau, fut célèbre pour ses actes de banditisme et surnommé pour cette raison l’ « Attila de Lesneven ». Entre 1514 et 1527, il fit de nombreuses victimes, s’attaquant à des personnes de toutes conditions, gentilshommes, prêtres, roturiers.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

This is how Spanish TV announced the boycott of Eurovision

If Russia is banned for what they're doing to Ukraine, surely Israel should be banned for what they're doing in Palestine?

When is the UK going to boycott Eurovision?
