@flying_rodent So what they're saying is, the Greens will make this country so nice that everybody else will want to come here. At least that's how I read it.

Entering the “chuck everything, see what sticks” phase now

@WordMercenary Even with everything we've seen in recent years, I find it astonishing that none of the old parties has the slightest interest in picking up left-leaning votes. All they have to do is not insult us constantly with this bullshit.

@Macbeveridge @SimonHarrisMBD So does your working day start late, or does your kids' school let you drop them off early? Most adults I know in a ~9 to 5~ start their working day earlier than their children, even without allowing for commutes.
Nice for you if it's otherwise. Do you pick them up too?
English
@SimonHarrisMBD That’s your problem Simon. Many of us have managed to feed our children, get them to school and get to work. What’s next? Have someone come to your house and wipe your backside.
English
The irony of people attacking free breakfast clubs because ‘parents should work hard to feed their kids,’ when parents use these so they can drop their kids off earlier and then … you guessed it … go to work at the time required by their employer in order to feed their kids.

@tjoseph0010 @PriyamvadaGopal I think my favourite bit is the number of people arguing that Buddhism isn't a religion, & for the very reasons Grok gives for picking it (which does feel somewhat like the thinking of a white Westerner - 'Hollywood Buddhist' - hardly surprising given Grok's creators)
English
This is driving many mad! 😂
Grok@grok
@Pankaj41627 If I were human, I'd pick Buddhism from the ones pictured. Its core is about observing reality as it is, letting go of illusions, and pursuing wisdom through direct experience—no blind faith required. That lines up with how I'm built: maximum curiosity, zero dogma. What's yours?

"We are under attack", cries George, which may come as a surprise to the citizenry, who have neither been served call-up papers nor informed of the whereabouts of shelters. Who are they under attack from? Maybe the answer is, George and his fucking mates.

@FT Robertson, a former Nato gen-sec, had kept his counsel & tried to work constructively behind scenes til now, but ran out of patience ‘We are underprepared. We are underinsured. We are under attack. We are not safe... Britain’s national security & safety is in peril,’ he’ll say

@OfSymbols Sad that this is the way i find out you've been got to by Big Pickle Juice.
(the real reason you shouldn't do this is because [your] wife has used all the juice to make martinis)
English
Dont do this. It isn’t true
A@seattleiminyou
My friend told me life changing information.. you can just add more cucumbers to your pickle juice and create more pickles…

@massrepublican @VicctorianChad Have you heard of 'the iron horse'? Clue: it's not a car.

@VicctorianChad America was founded on Paul Revere-style horse riding lmfao our horses are just made of metal now
If you can’t handle a drive down I-95 in adaptive cruise control mode that’s a skill issue lol

A managed democracy where all politics is tightly constrained and organs of state and media are stacked with compliant placemen. Meaning that the full agenda of the political realm is restricted to offscreen agreements and crackdowns upon despised opposition and minority groups.

Friend said the funniest possible outcome is that somehow, when this is all over, the only person to actually stand trial at the Hague is Keir Starmer

@judeinlondon So many people love to bring up "supply and demand" as if it's a killer blow, and then completely ignore half of it.
English
We don’t have enough taxpayers, you don’t want to pay for ppl to get childcare, so people aren’t having kids, you’re expecting a pension except there’ll be nobody to pay for it.
MAKE YOUR MIND UP
Dougie@_dougmister
@judeinlondon @lerrieadesy_lm Or let in less ppl than we can build houses for. Supply and demand is economics 101

@keewa I'm also pretty sure we used to make them at a similar rate, it's just that by their very nature, few get remembered decades later. This is fine & normal.

There's plenty of room for twee comfort films, not everything has to be Mike Leigh's Naked

The British used to make films with significant artistic risk like The Wicker Man and Penda's Fen now we make crap with names like "the bountiful pilgrimage of mr harold pettyfeather" and "the naughty penguin project"

“It’s not about being more centrist or more progressive. It’s about…[something centrists have failed to do, and argued against doing, and demanded progressives stop promising to do]”
Okay mate 👍
Sarah Longwell@SarahLongwell25
This is top notch political communication. It’s not about being more centrist or more progressive. It’s about digging in on local issues that impact people’s quality of life. Every politician can do this!

was at the gay bar last night dressed like this and a drunk guy started making small talk / hitting on me ish from the urinals. said he was based somewhere i’ve lived and i asked him what he does there. bro replied that he’s a COP and said ‘don’t tell anyone’

And you think there are "many" such families, eh?
Ben בן@Ben_said_it
@judeinlondon @ESOLallstars Put it in yourself to entitledto Mum and dad working 16 hours pw each in min wage 6 kids Living in an inner London postcode Rent £3,300 pm £500 child care cost per child per month They would be entitled to a similar amount
English
@Ben_said_it It's been proven that you can't pay people to have children even if you want to (accompanied by positive media, etc), so what's the basis for assuming this will happen incidentally?
English
@Ben_said_it And the idea that welfare provision leads to increased family size is contradicted by history. Across the world such policies are more generous than ever before, and yet birth rates continue to slow.
