I don't know if it's because I've been 'bluesky only' for over a year, or if it's because the world's on fire and politicians are actually having to focus on that...but the culture war stuff seems to have tailed off.

Surprising to see a story like this rear it's head today, feels weirdly nostalgic.

Reaching net zero by 2050 ‘cheaper for UK than one fossil fuel crisis’ Climate change committee finds move to renewable energy would also bring health, economic and security benefits

Achieving the UK’s net zero target by 2050 will cost less than a single oil shock and bring health and economic benefits while insulating the country against future costs, the government’s climate advisers have forecast. #NetZero

"Shouldn’t it be the other way around?"

"Nah! That’s the stupid way."

His only loyalties are to Trump and Putin.

no surprises in this thread from US senator Chris Murphy 🧵, to the braindead 77 million thanks a lot 🫠🤐

On second thought, she's not worth it. 🙄

At least Farage performed a mealy-mouthed u-turn. Badenoch is just straight up lying - saying she never supported us joining. 😒

Someone in the Commons should risk invoking the wrath of the speaker to call her a LIAR.

fucking idiots the lot of them

Most Reform supporters don't support Farage's position (the red bar) on Iran.

'Only' 46% of Reform supporters are explicitly pro-Trump

Nevermind the public as a whole, the majority of *Reform* voters didn't support Farage on Iran, and barely half of Reform voters explicitly approve of Trump.

He needed to be more careful, but he wasn't, and now we get this characteristically dishonest and mealy-mouthed u-turn. 😂

I find your arguments for a definition persuasive. I also find @natsecsoc.bsky.social's arguments for not adopting one persuasive. 😂 I'll guess I'll judge on outcomes, whatever happens. 👍

I'm glad the ambiguous (and weaponised) term Islamophobia is gone. For me, a rare point of agreement with KB. 😮

Dibbler is a great name for a social media site tbf

I'd have less of a problem if one obvious element of it wasn't the leading car simply running short of power - not through lack of driver skill just because the cars are so underpowered. DRS, plus the car in front has to open a parachute!

That bit of it feels broken. It looked silly at points. #f1

In isolation I would definitely subscribe to Hanlon's Razor here. But it's weird how everything Trump does seems to directly or 'inadvertently' benefit Putin in some way. 🤔

So taking everything into account, I'm unsure. Could be his utter stupidity, could be his love for Putin. Flip a coin I guess.

Putinist sack of shit

I've always thought 'default-Starmer' was a decent man. That DOESN'T excuse HIS decision to spend the past year triangulating some awful positions though. He's got a lot of ground to make up.

Depressing, but at least it's predictable. On the flipside, how many folk who were anti-Bellingcat a few years ago are now happily citing you when it comes to the Iran school bombing? 🫠😩

Putinist sack of shit

Conservative: 61% / 19%

Badenoch with all the political instinct of a drugged lemming.

Merc's advantage looks decent, but not insurmountable. #AusGP #F1 #AustralianGP

Race much more enjoyable than the quali (some of those downshifts were shocking). Ferrari back to their old ways though. 😅 #AusGP #F1 #AustralianGP

Russell takes pole for the #AustralianGP with a 1:18.518s.

Antonelli is in provisional P2, with Hadjar in P3 and Leclerc in P4. Defending champion Norris is down in P6, nearly a second off Russell. #F1

"Can I have a show of hands...how many of you think this is a war that Britain should be involved in?" 🤔

Israel and err...

yep, the snappiness and back and forth between characters is lost as well, lots of monologues. It's still good (no Pratchett isn't) but the change is obvious (and even more so in Raising Steam) 😔

I blow hot and cold on Jonathan Pie, but when he gets it right he gets it right. Especially on #Farage and #Badenoch ...

What possible reason could the British public have for not wanting to join a never-ending war lead by America in the Middle East?

It's a mystery.
