Are you saying that my knowledge of how to hyperlink in HTML is going to be obsolete?!

I’ve been tempted to give Bluesky another go after it left beta, but apparently you still can’t set up feeds so they all show up in one instead of having to swipe through all of them.

It felt too much like work keeping up with things, so I gave up.

You always get fringe groups hijacking protests for their own aims.

The Socialist Workers Party turn up to literally everything.

This looks cozy to me.

Charges were brought after a re-purposed prison van was used to ram through the gates of the Elbit facility at around 3.30am, before being used to smash into one of the buildings inside.

It is said two groups of Palestine Action activists were involved in the raid, causing an estimated £1 million in damages.

It is said fireworks and flares were let off, and the activists are accused of being armed with axes, whips, hammers, and a fire extinguisher filled with red paint.

They’re just peaceful protestors. Honest, guv.

I remember when I first tried to use Mastodon and struggled with how best to make it work, so I asked what was probably a basic question to the Enlightened™. Instead of being helped, I was met with “it’s easy, maybe you’re just dense?”.

Then I thought that maybe Mastodon doesn’t have the kind of people I’d want to interact with on it.

Imagine being labelled a terrorist after taking part in violent action in pursuit of a political goal…

Oh wait…

It’s a strange argument because it’s as if caring for a terminally ill person doesn’t cost anything.

The only reason companies remove features like this is so they can add them again a few years later and say “ooh look, new feature!”.

Honestly, sometimes it feels like the supposedly left-wing outlets such as The Morning Star would prefer to have the Tories or Reform in charge than have a Labour government that’s not headed by Corbyn.

Of course they would. It’s so much easier to be in opposition after all.

Because churches and protecting paedos is standard fare.

It doesn’t really matter if this bill passes because it’s going to make it so difficult to even be able to use what it offers with all the hoops people would have to jump through.

Is this a joke app?

I can literally turn on RAW photos in my Pixel camera settings. Pretty sure you can on Samsung too.

I don’t understand people who won’t pay £5 for shipping, but will instead spend another £15 on something they don’t need so they get free shipping.

All you’ve done is lost money.

He’s the Foreign Secretary. One of our chief diplomats. What do you expect him to do?

Libertarians everywhere are delighted.

Demonizing people who disagree with you makes them dig in their heels and elect the dangerous candidate and party, in spite of their best interests. Demonizing those people feels satisfying and necessary in the moment, but it ultimately backfires.

The so-called enlightened people can’t be counted on to vote. (I say this as one of those so-called enlightened people, albeit not in your country and therefore unable to shift the balance with you.)

Until you folks figure these two things out, this is your new reality.

This is absolutely right. There’s been an arrogance and complacency from moderate parties in the West over the last 20 years, assuming that the electorate will just automatically vote for them regardless. Now they’ve got to try and get these people back from the extremes, which is going to be harder to do than if they hadn’t taken them for granted before.

It’s part of a trend of a significant portion of the electorate feeling ignored. It’s a trend that’s happening in large parts of the West, we’re seeing it in Europe too in places like France and Germany.

Now you can argue about whether these people have a genuine grievance or not. But if we don’t try and address the underlying causes of these people abandoning moderate parties, we’re going to see more and more extreme candidates and parties being successful. And I don’t think that’s something any of us want.

The American Constitution will stop him doing a lot of things people are scared of.
