What we see here is Donald Trump, acting as he always does, as a global chaos generator.

The further we stand away from that, the better off we will be.

Well said @georgemonbiot.bsky.social 👏

We now live near where the F1 Grand Prix is about to take place in Melbourne.

Apparently it's so loud that they give locals a free pass to the grounds, naturally just on qualifying supercars race day (or something?), but hey.

We went and oh yeah it was really loud 🤭

UK puts emergency brake on study visas for four countries’ nationals Shabana Mahmood says UK’s generosity abused as study visas halted for nationals from Afghanistan, Cameroon, Myanmar and Sudan

Cruelty upon cruelty: Labour is banning would-be students from Afghanistan, Cameroon, Myanmar and Sudan as well as work visas to Afghans.

These announcements often come with Shabana Mahmood smiling. What an achievement.

I'm a fan of democracy and enjoy having a say in government, but c'mon, voting should be a civic duty everyone has to do as part of living in society. It shouldn't be hard.

(PSA: also please don't litter and avoid telling strange women on the street to smile more.)

"With all due respect to President Nyarlathotep, we do not believe the Necro-Administration's contention that 'Phantom Warlocks Only We Can See' was reason enough to initiate multiple soul harvest taxes directed at small business owners."
