It's definitely an improvement on the traditional sorcerer using hexed wenches to assemble his armoire 🙂

Did you leave the spelling to chance then 🤣

No, it’s not about ‘Semites' But its a surprisingly common fallacy

🧵The excellent @rachelshabi.bsky.social in piece explaining that antisemitism is, actually, and always has been, a term that describes Jew-hating specifically, despite the term 'Semite' being in there: rachelshabi.substack.com/p/no-its-not...

I'm sure I'm not the only person who's climbed over the fence there 😬

As yet another war rages, and bombs rain down across the Middle East, destroying, not just ‘military targets’, but homes and lives, the only hope for an enduring #Peace is #Justice & #HumanRights for all - from #Iran to #Israel & #Palestine #Shalom #Salam 🕊️

Donate now to provide urgent bomb shelters for Bedouin communities in the Negev/Naqab This is not a game of hide and seek — it’s Bedouin children hiding under a tractor plow from rocket fire, because they have no bomb shelter to run to. We’ve all seen in recent days

Absolutely - but just having screens isn't enough, they need to actually show *services* (not the manufacturer's logo 😱). There are loads here in #Brighton that have been out of action for months that @brighton-hove.gov.uk havent been able to fix 🙁

two men are crying in the rain and one of them is saying `` we 've gone on holiday by mistake '' . Alt: Withnail & I - two men crying in the rain with one saying "We've gone on holiday by mistake"

On the other hand, I've renewed my subscription by mistake -probably as a subconscious birthday present to myself 🙂
(not really a mistake, I would have done it knowingly if I'd been paying attention)

& taking the metaphor even further, there are *specialist* cheese shops that get cross with you when you want a *different* cheese, like I might want basic Cheddar for cooking rather than cavern aged quartz extra mature...

Whoever invented the Daily Mail, ought to be cut down to size. Pulped & reduced to a nauseous juice, and dried out at flattened 'til ready for use, Then covered in newsprint & lies. Because who'd do that to a tree raising its head to the sky Rooted in centuries, telling tall tales, breathing a green lullaby.

'Daily Hate' keeping up to its nickname... Leon Rosselson nailed it in 'Whoever Invented the Fishfinger' - "covered in newsprint and lies" youtu.be/QP52rWdd4b4?...

I misread the ship on the right as "Their *British* invaders" 🤣

Tony (Lord) Berkleley talking to the Mayor of Bruges Renaat Landuyt, watched by Hilde Crevits, Flanders Mobility Minister (now Vice Minister-President)

The @appgcw.bsky.social does exactly this! I went on their trip to #Flanders over a decade ago - here's Lord Berkleley talking to Mayor of #Bruges @stadbrugge.bsky.social & Mobility Minister of @vlaamseoverheid.bsky.social #Flanders. The problem is the anti #ActiveTravel peers don't go on the trips.

Though Stephenson did it more accurately in Snowcrash (also microfranchising)

The community engagement fanatics won't be happy until we are all equally poor

I did this one 🤣

I first read them from @brighton-hove.gov.uk library! But have *just* bought the trilogy from our local 2nd hand book dealer (for just £10!) & feel much better having a physical copy I can read at my own pace 🙂

The culture war against trans people has unsurprisingly in US turned into criminalising them. Kansas has invalidated identity documents without time to replace them for trans people - driving licence, voting ID etc. This should be a real moment for anti-trans Brits to take a big step back...

Trevor Parsons ‪@dartmouthcommon.bsky.social‬ Follow Disclaimer: I do NOT conflate Judaism with Zionism. This well documented analysis is very scary & deserves your attention. AI, Big Data, the Surveillance State will have more signifigance once you listen, as will the meaning of The End Times. New to me: Pax Judaica.

Pax Judaica is an antisemitic conspiracy theory, whether you make it about Zionism/Israel or not.

And if it somehow was magically not antisemitic, it would still be an outlandish conspiracy theory. One that has gained traction in some corners of the left since Oct 7th.

Child pedestrian casualties in Brighton & Hove, split by constituency

Thanks for report! I'm sure @livingstreets.bsky.social would also hope that @brighton-hove.gov.uk can keep *some* child pedestrian training, if only at schools in the most deprived areas of the city & in the areas with the most casualties from collisions ( #Hove & #Portslade)

Who's the billionaire behind London’s biggest mass eviction? He's the London philanthropist who says he's committed to solving homelessness. So why is Asif Aziz's Criterion Capital rushing to make hundreds of Londoners homeless in the coming weeks?

London’s “worst mass eviction in recent history” is underway; hundreds of households across London told to get out of their homes this week by the same landlord, ahead of the renters rights act. The landlord? Billionaire Asif Aziz’s Criterion Capital. www.londoncentric.media/p/asif-aziz-...

On a similar note I found this in London Rd charity shop today (sadly, without the beer)
