I like how it took almost 4 years for the UN to discover something that Sudanese activists and scholars have been saying this entire time 😂 like we know, glad yall could catch up finally

#FreeCongo 🇨🇩 Gladys & her son Theo are living in fear of militia attacks that are rising each day and with the ebola outbreak life is more difficult. They're only $1916 away from their goal but are stagnant. The little you can donate goes a long way!🙏🏾🇨🇩 goget.fund/4db20A6

🇨🇩 Congo is silently going through a silent holocaust. Millions of people are being killed so that the western world can benefit from its natural resources. Take a minute to understand what is going on in the DRC. DON'T STOP TALKING ABOUT CONGO #CongoIsBleeding #Freecongo

remember when a load of tweed-clad tractor wankers did pretty much this and everyone was forced to listen to poor little rich people’s Reasonable Concerns (“if you make me pay tax i will literally kill myself”)

rs21 members joined the picket at Stamford Hill garage and found a strike that sits squarely at the intersection of workers’ rights and the climate crisis, with the climate movement nowhere to be seen. Join us for our next visit this week! revsoc21.uk/2026/09/01/the-c…

They were right. People will slag them off, but what have they done? The entire public, politicians, Media, everyone’s just sat back and done nothing and just let this happen.

I know I probably shouldn’t, but I do love this kind of cultural wrangling (mostly because I’m not ever going to experience the brunt of it, tbh)
The Wikipedia page for every poorly attested Iron Age European language has a paragraph clearly written by an Albanian speculating about the language’s relationship to Albanian.

Exactly. Even the introspection might not be as useful because the emotional reality makes the reflection stage at least a little bit suspect!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone talk about how a string of bad luck or things going poorly for a long time can make it very hard for you to trust your own instincts in any aspect of your life.

Whilst I agree that the argument isn’t convincing, of the two (of many possible!) responses presented here, it’s the latter response which works best for me rather than the “anyone being good under fear of punishment/hell…”, which imo actually supports the original argument 😄
The argument that religion serves as a bulwark against the evil and base desires of human beings just strikes me as completely odd. The obvious retort is that anyone being good under fear of punishment is not being genuine, but also, looking at the state of the world at any…

+ religion (even on the level of ‘shared cultural practices originating from recommendations by an ancient philosopher’) is a useful structure 🤷🏾‍♀️

Otoh as religion is also a social practice, I’m biased to think this as it relates closely to how I think about law, policy etc. (ie more about what happens when a norm is transgressed, or when a necessary collective action seems counterintuitive on a personal scale)

The BBC knows exactly what it’s doing here. It mentions the assaults but leaves out that the victims are migrant women and girls, and that the perpetrators include both Ceuta Spanish locals and migrants. That’s not a small detail.

Lord Simon Woolley publicly supported his friend & former Cambridge professor Jason Arday who was found dead two weeks ago. Now the Spectator writes that he ‘isn’t fit to lead’ a Cambridge college.

Yes we were informed of this yesterday and were extremely heartbroken. The Sameer Project has the ability to scale up water, all we need is funding. Help us do more than half a million liters of water. We beg you. Things are bad in Gaza, really really bad. Support now: chuffed.org/project/help-us-…
The situation really is on verge of exploding here in Gaza. Today 3 people died fighting over water. People are extremely desperate, tired and defeated. Water is becoming increasingly valuable like gold.

I've been saying it for years and I won't stop now: I'll take a thousand people cheating the benefit system if it means one single disabled person doesn't die as a result of losing their support.
Honestly I DO think some people cheating the system - whilst morally wrong on their part & unfair/annoying - is a worthwhile side effect to make sure millions of disabled people don't die on the street 🤷‍♀️
