Meta has a history of torturing their moderators and providing NOTHING in the way of mental health care. How do I know? Because I used to be a moderator for Meta and I got a $3,500 settlement for the PTSD they gave me.
When we tried to unionize, they moved their moderation to the Philippines.
"Hey, here is a book about the importance of love and intimacy".
"Great, let's use that to train bombs to hit primary schools."
"We called London a war zone and moved to Dubai by mistake"
Once again, a media corps that wasn't devoted to pandering to the extreme right wouldn't slavishly report REFUK's shameless weekly bid to grab the news agenda with a "press conference" that's basically a formless rant.
Nigel Farage lied multiple times at his press conference today - including saying no-one who voted Green in Gorton and Denton has a job and he's "certain" Reform won most British born voters in the by-election, based on zero evidence, and yet not a single journalist there pushed back on them
I don’t know if anyone has said this yet, but Trump getting frustrated with Iran and then calling his “preemptive” strike Operation “Epic Fury” is so juvenile and pathetic that every time I hear it it makes me throw up in my mouth a little.
Calling his murderous tantrum a tantrum.
C***
This will hopefully be the opening poem in the collection for grown-ups I am currently compiling, the focusof which is love and relationships.: joshuaseigalpoet.blogspot.com/2022/08/and-... originally published in anthology on 'Masculinity' from @brokensleepbooks.bsky.social #BookSky #poetry
Waiting for FIFA to take their Peace Prize back…
So, Trump is launching a “Special Military Operation” in Iran…
Welcome to the Mobster Era of Late Stage Capitalism.

FFS, those Interesting Times have struck again…
He did not have congressional approval to blow up boats in the Caribbean
He did not have congressional approval to kill the survivors of those strikes
He did not have congressional approval to invade Venezuela
He did not have congressional approval to bomb Iran
This is dictatorship. Impeach now
If I were king of the world, certain people would be getting Asimov's laws of robotics tattooed backwards on their foreheads so they had to read them in the mirror every time they brushed their teeth.
You can make the new He-Man movie look more vintage by the power of greyscale.
Keir Starmer has written to all Labour MPs attacking the Green Party for embracing "divisive" and "sectarian" politics
I'm picking up concern among Labour MPs about how this letter will come across to people who have voted/are tempted to vote Green, as it could risk further alienating these voters
There is time, but he needs to wake up.
I am not an advocate of Corbynism, but I do feel Starmer has massively over corrected and put Labour into a skid.
Starmer referring to the Greens as the “extreme left” should disqualify him from leading a party with Labour’s tradition.
I thought this guy was intelligent and principled.
Now there is hope! It's no longer a choice between grim and grimmer. We can vote for who we want and win. Anywhere.
It's just one constituency, but the Green victory in Gorton and Denton is an electric shock to our political system.
And please, divine spirit, if you're out there, let this be the last time we have to see Matthew Goodwin's mug on our front pages. Thank you.
Look.
People get divorced for all manner of reasons, and it's nobody else's business.
However.
When a politician is using the slogan:
Family. Community. Country.
It's perfectly reasonable to point out that they are recently divorced and live in the SE of England miles from Gorton and Denton.
Imagine being in your 30s, going into hospital and then being denied the right to go home again

We may have won silver but our players have a heart of gold 💛 unlike the disgusting US team and their behaviour in that locker room. The misogyny towards the female hockey team. Disgusting 🤮 but unfortunately this Canadian is not surprised in the least.
Screenshot of a headline reading: “Mar-a-Lago shooter Austin Tucker Martin supported Trump but raged over Epstein files revelations? Report reveals…” The subheading states that the 21-year-old Trump supporter was fatally shot by Secret Service agents outside Mar-a-Lago and that investigators are probing his motives and online radicalization.
Don't let them try to pin this on the left or on racial or sexual minorities like they always try to do.
