Sunak is facing a "migrant crisis" ... but has bigger things to worry about ...

@80_mcswan Only in certain areas. Main problem is promotion of uncaccountable far-right mouthpieces on supposedly serious shows, most recently Claire Fox on Daily Politics. Should get respectable left and right wing voices who don't deny facts.

No she isn’t. People dislike her because she has no empathy or compassion. She’s full of hate, she spreads division and conflict. She makes people turn on each other, she rips communities apart. She’s a far-right, nasty piece of work. That’s why people don’t like her. https://twitter.com/adambienkov/status/1587144476488859648

@francis Ugh. The thing that annoys me most about the "Capitalism isn't perfect, but it's the best system we've seen" line is that it presents the world as a single homogenous system. The things that have allowed us to survive capitalism (e.g. public services, charities, co-ops, altruism of any kind) are not capitalist. They exist *despite* capitalism!
(I recognize all of that ^^ is an oversimplification. But I felt the need to vent about the standard over-oversimplification)
Nearly £1.5 million for a case that was dropped.

If you don't like noise don't live in a city centre. And if you can afford to buy in a nice location you can afford to buy secondary glazing and a white noise machine. This stuff does my head in. They've already destroyed Brick Lane at night.

1/ As people flee Twitter, or threaten to, in response to Elon’s takeover and the harassment it has already spawned and likely will bc of less content moderation, there are some things I’ve noticed. Please follow this thread and share it. It’s sorta important…

Capitalism Has Failed As Badly As Anything Can Fail
"People tell me, 'Capitalism isn't perfect, but it's the best system we've seen.'
It's literally killing us. It's brought us to the brink of extinction by environmental collapse or nuclear armageddon."

💼 job offer 💼
I'm looking for a new administrator for climatejustice.social.
Our tech girl, who did a great job and who I trust very much, won't be able to do it for very long anymore as she has a lot on her plate.
To get the job, first and foremost I have to trust you. Fortunately there are many people on the Fediverse I trust. Hopefully among them are those who also have time and skills to administer a mastodon instance.
You also need to have experience in debian system adminstration (updating, ssh, borg backup, etc), web administration (nginx, postgresql, etc) and of course mastodon (ruby on rails, nodejs, etc).
climatejustice.social has a 5000 character limit, so it's not just "vanilla mastodon".
If you're interested, let me know. I can't offer you much when it comes to payment, but let me know how much you want.
Please #boost. ❤️

Matt Hancock believes he is charming and likeable, that's why he's doing I'm A Celebrity. "The British public will see that I'm VERY cool". Despite all available evidence he thinks he's a fantastic lad. What's the opposite of paranoid? He's that.

The scariest thing this Halloween is that there were thousands of people, including children, stuck in a building that was petrol bombed yesterday and people on here don’t care because they’re apparently “illegals”.

racism on the fedi
the pattern I have personally observed on here several times over is that some white person will act like an asshole towards a BIPOC, and when called out on it, they will deny it and double down on what they said. Their friends will cover their back and get into apologetics for their behavior. Fediblock posts will be made. Racism apologists will ask for evidence. Evidence will be presented. The evidence will be dismissed. The criticism and collection of evidence will be miscontrued as a harassment campaign against the original perpetrator based on their identity.
It's always the same playbook. It drives this community apart. And it shouldn't even happen in the first place. Don't be an asshole to BIPOC. Don't say racist shit. And if you do, be prepared to apologize, delete your posts and learn from your mistakes. Don't double down on your garbage. Don't gaslight us into thinking that you are the victim. And don't side with people who do this.
