Peter Shearer @shearernorthern It's a good time to consider that world leaders could have concentrated all their time and efforts on making our world a better place for us all. But they chose to enrich a few people and a few corporations and turned our world into a living hell for many. We have to change it.

Pedro Sánchez, Spanish PM.

"The question is not if we are on the side of the ayatollahs - nobody is. The question is whether we are in favour of peace and international legality...You cannot answer one illegality with another, because that is how the great catastrophes of humanity begin."

Two rather scattered rows of upright or leaning thin stone slabs, clearly forming parallel barriers along a grassy hilltop.

The March image from my personal 2026 photo calendar. This shows part of what remains visible of the Neolithic tor enclosure on Roughtor, a 400m high hill in Cornwall, SW England. Dates to 4000-3500 BCE. These upright stones are about waist-high.

existennialmemes The Ides of March approaches and it's making me very sentimental for the concept of large scale organizing to address a shared problem.

What?

diane.dennett Poor old sulky Donald Trump Has fallen out with Starmer He misses Winston Churchill We wish he was Obama

If I was @zackpolanski.bsky.social, I would be pointing out to the BBC that whatever model they use to justify giving Farage & his boot-lickers season tickets for every BBC show under the sun must surely now treat Green Party politicians in exactly the same way. Might even be one for the lawyers...

kathyl_sd How to know it's a 'war of choice': • He waited until the Olympics were over • He waited until Friday night after the stock market closed • His Tuesday night state of union speech was universally panned • His poll numbers are in the tank • Epstein files Wag the Dog

Dave @GamewithDave They removed CD/DVD drives from devices. They made physical media harder to buy and use. They removed expandable storage from phones. They pushed us into streaming subscriptions. They made always-online normal. They made unlimited internet necessary. Then slowly raised the price of everything. Ownership quietly became renting.

Unfortunately, this isn’t satire, it’s reality.

Sick of gettin raped and beat up by these Weird freaks.

Is anyone else as confused by this Pentagon statement as I am? We were told that the Israelis and [we] Americans had achieved air superiority over Iran, but *now* we are being told that the Kuwaitis shot down 3 F-15s over Kuwait that were...dogfighting with the Iranian Air Force?

Jan Venegoor of Citylink @GaelicRoadSign Sorry to rich Brits in Dubai, but we are full and our public services are at breaking point. Or so many of you told us.

UK will allow US to use bases to strike Iranian missile sites, says Starmer The prime minister says it remains the case that the UK will

I wonder if what isn't being acknowledged is the US finding Iran has more, and possibly better, missiles than expected, and the air defence systems deployed might not be able to cope...

BBC News - UK will allow US to use bases to strike Iranian missile sites, PM says

OMG, I turned off a show that I usually like this week, because the guest actor came out in favor of trump.

council_estate_media Am I right in assuming that the US is going to be kicked out of the World Cup and other sporting competitions like Russia was for starting a war? That is how the rules work, right?

Today would have been my dad's 95th birthday, but he died three weeks before his 93rd.

He always joked that he was born on the day after Feb 28th, so had two birthdays every leap year, Feb 29th and March 1st.

As 2024 was a leap year, I was able to arrange for his his burial to be on Feb 29th.

Ooooooooops!

Nigel Farage’s history of spurious election fraud allegations.

2014: Farage claims voting fraud happening “on a third world scale”, no evidence found.
2015: South Thanet elections, Farage fraud allegations dismissed.

All? You're sure? They've had plenty of time to sort out succession plans.

This has been included in the pretty prominent reporting by the BBC.

But will they pay any attention? Who can act to stop them? What penalties will they face if they continue?

Jonathan Edward Durham @thisoneØverhere You know all these fables and fairy tales I tead as a kid had me believing people would be out here facing consequences and learning all sorts of life lessons from their actions and yet...

let my people glo @MichellCClark We weren't designed to process global tragedy at breakfast, respond to work emergencies at dinner, and fall asleep to doom-scrolling at night. Our nervous systems never consented to this arrangement.

I hope we keep getting to wake up each day to a new horrible, pathetic, disgusting, rich man going to prison. Like an Advent Calendar for justice.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

the.caterpillar.project @Threads I dreamed I won a bunch of money and I was so excited because I could fund programs I am passionate about and create scholarships and solve problems. Even in my wildest dreams, it didn't occur to me to use that power to subjugate other humans or cause harm. These people really are the worst of humanity,
