A lot of folks seem extremely eager to outsource the work of being human, and I just have to ask: What are they all doing instead? What is more important than doing the work of being human?

Season 2 is just as bad
Wouldn't it be nice Tice and Oakshott who are trapped in Dubai used this experience to reflect on how quickly anybody can be forced to flee their home. Maybe realising that not everyone fleeing conflict has their millions but I somehow doubt it.
Ahh glad to see people are finding this great podcast!
My instant reaction at 3 a.m. yesterday was not whether Khamenei would be killed or oil prices or anything else but this
This undeclared, unexplained war is illegal. Full stop
28 hours later, it is still the worse abuse of power in U.S. history. Impeach

Because both Narendra Modi and Binyamin Netanyahu are despicable fascists
Landlord-applied Labour banners on the outside of houses, with tenant-applied Green posters in the windows were visible all over Gorton, including next door to the Green HQ
Ironically, one guaranteed way of making one's brain 3 years younger is to stop reading the Daily Mail
Very important. The media needs to raise the alarm if we are being dragged into this.
The contrast between this and the pictures of Hannah Spencer are head-spinning (I am of course unashamedly biased)
It's so so silly. They are determined to learn nothing
It feels a lot less insane today than it has for a while.
Charismatic local candidate in touch with her voters beats a soft-handed grifter and another candidate who seems decent but is trapped in a directionless party machine.
My guess is that most voters are pretty sceptical of claims about other parties' policies generally. I don't think these scare stories cut through much at all - even when they're true and they need to (eg about Reform's agenda)
Some of our policies are forgotten clutter that needs a good sort through - I think we need an extraordinary conference or something.
The drugs policy though is based on proven best practice for harm reduction.
I've seen some graph crimes over the years, but leaving out the longstanding election favourite completely is next level @graphcrimes.bsky.social

Great minds, eh? You were first but I did come up with it myself!

It was an absolute delight to volunteer on this campaign. It's been swinging our way for a while, but it took a lot of work. The Greens have massively levelled up in terms of organising ability. Hannah is an absolute gem

I knew it! Time to finally share my secret timestamped prediction
This is why it's so important to have a Green in the room!
Someone check his hard drive
In fairness it does look like a cleaner version of my own front room, so π€·ββοΈ
Begs the question: what *should* a front room look like to this person?
Farage crying that he wasn't allowed to access an island after turning up in a small boat without the necessary paperwork surely has to be peak hypocrisy, even for him.
It's a great operation the team are running for this campaign. The boots on the ground are what will win it. If you're a member and you have time this week, particularly for the get out the vote work on Wednesday and Thursday, please do try to join in!
If Gorton and Denton choose @greenparty.org.uk this Thursday, it will send ripples of hope to every corner of the country π
Facism isn't inevitable
Another π is possible! ππ½
Wet and tired but satisfied with today's work!
