The next PMQs is going to be interesting, barge farce, leaving ECHR (or even suggesting it ) doctros strikes, train strikes, other strikes.

@ned

And less investment to improve what you are doing, e.g water companies and sewage in the UK

Louder for those in the back.

Record profits are unpaid wages.

Why else do people need assault rifles, it is not like you need to fight off wild animals.

@zleap
It could be that Republicans want high crime, to whip up fear and resentment.

BREAKING: Illinois Supreme Court finds the IL assault weapons ban constitutional.

It’s no accident that Blue states have a 40% LOWER murder rate than do Red states. Gun safety laws work in reducing gun violence.

A win for freedom & justice today.✊🏽

Well done to IL Democrats and Governor Pritzker for keeping us safe and upholding justice.

@LouisIngenthron @fullyabstract the only money I want to spend in Florida is to fund the opposition

I don't care about your billionaire's cage match. Just pay your taxes.

@fullyabstract FWIW, Orlando is not Tallahassee.

Our town is inclusive and covered in pride flags. I have a progress pride flag waving over my front door right now, just east of downtown Orlando, and the touristy areas are even more welcoming.

We voted against this bullshit. Orlando, Tampa, and Miami are the resistance. We have a trans population here and LGBTQ outreach organizations and a killer pride parade. You definitely should not feel unsafe in these cities (at least no more so than any other city).

That said, I understand if you still don't want to.

The situation with Trump, should really prompt some R&D in to creating one of those memory wiping devices like on Men In Black. That way former presidents who turn out to be rogue can have memory engrams wiped for the past 5 years. So that they can't disclose state secrets to other countries.

Sitting in an office waiting for a job interview 😭

For the same reasons, my library owns "The black academic's guide to winning tenure--without losing your soul" in print, but not as an e-book. It was published by a small press. and at the time we wanted to buy the ebook, they didn't work with any of the ebook vendor platforms we used.
But books in the large ebook packages to which we subscribe? They end up in the catalog and discovery layer without local selection/curation... (cont)

A great walk - just over 15 miles. After a not very promising start with drizzle & low cloud, the sun really came through (in fact I’ve even got a bit sunburnt 🙄).

From the high moor, down into the wooded dart valley, crossing the river a couple more times, to Ashburton, one of my favourite local towns. Found a lovely frock in a vintage shop while waiting for my bus ☺️.
