Remember when we had to vote for these guys to stop racism.
Uk Labour's instagram account shares an image of Sir Kier Starmer standing in parliament saying "It is my duty to judge what is in Britain's national interest, and that is the judgement I made. I stand by it."
Sign of where things are going that in a shockingly competent move Labour's social media team are actually straight up promoting the fact that he had this falling out with Trump re the Iran war. The British right wing press and party establishments may have fucked up here methinks.
"famine balls", a bar in Americay....
There's a Myles na Gopaleen column about this.
Tweet from Finbar Bermingham, March 9th 2026, on Ursula bvon der Leyen speech: Wow: VDL asks if the global rules-based order is "more a help or hindrance" to Europe "Whether the system we built β with well-intentioned attempts at consensus & compromise β is more help or a hindrance to our credibility as a geopolitical actor."
Politics isn't Bluesky's thing but Ursula von der Leyen has just given a big foreign policy speech to EU ambassadors condoning the US/Israeli war on Iran, announcing that international law and multilateralism are a hindrance to EU interests and basically recasting the EU as a security project.
This is antiwar infrastructure.
US is also bombing Ecuador.
Example number 20,000 of austerity actually costing us more money
Yeah, because the British press will hold them to account over it the way it did Blair and Campbell.
So the hard drives for MRI machines are unavailable and now the helium they need is off the market too
love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

Quite an image on the BBC live page (www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cd...; no photographer credited).
Sounds as if they've saved the station and the hotel, and more importantly, without loss of life.
Citizens; heroes.
Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music
Several dozen folks did
Some even dubbed music over the original clip.
I haven't been able to get this out of my head.
So I give you

Australia probably has its own distinct norms and sociological patterns, but you can still count on three universal truths:
- teenagers take laws very seriously,
- no teen coild possibly outwit a technological defence built by the lowest bidder to a state tender, and
- porn is very easy to define.
David Lammy announces a new plan that will "clamp down on extremist influence in institutions, such as charities & universities"
From an authoritarian govt thats attacking our basic civil rights this is clearly just another vehicle to target critics of the state.
Two Israeli soldiers killed as latest attacks in Lebanon leave nearly 400 dead Israel has been carrying out a military operation in southern Lebanon for more than a week, with three airstrikes hitting Sir El Gharbiyeh village on Sunday. β’ Sunday 8 March 2026 17:17, UK ιͺ貨
The absolutely disgusting rot at the heart of British media summed up in a single headline. A wretched clique of pathetic, racist, servile dogs.
"Famine balls" sounds like a seasonal term for blue balls.
Begorrah, tis so long since I've had me shillelagh stroked by a buxom lass, me poor sliotars are aching like two Protestant souls in hell. Famine balls is what you might call them!
... yes, I'd say "Famine Balls" probably is offensive.
Thankfully we have a fair amount of wind and some solar insulating us to some extent. But why not get energy independence? We have that possibility, once we decide to have that ambition!

Interesting insight arising from discussions with my first-year undergraduate class: A-level essay prep has left some of them with the genuine belief that once I give them an essay title it means there is a single ideal essay that I'm thinking of and only that will satisfy the requirements,
I'm out of words here
Thankfully our President has more courage, honesty and empathy than our government and is willing to stand up for international law. This is exactly why the Irish people elected her.
Amir got It
Honestly fair fucks to Vittorio Angelone for calling out Penny Mordaunt on Last Leg
Another set of examples why AI shouldnβt be used for selecting the targets of military strikes.
CNNβs Frederik Pleitgen says black, oil-contaminated rain is falling over Tehran after strikes on oil facilities by U.S./Israeli airstrikes.
βAnd she's got brains enough for two, which is the exact quantity the girl who marries you will need.β

hitting the same target twice is for killing emergency responders, and for making people afraid to help those who have been injured or maimed in a previous strike
the US did this to a schoolhouse
