I made Thanksgiving dinner and now the kids are crying and I'm not allowed to help anymore

A haiku about being an adult:

I am so tired
Where did all my money go?
My back is hurting

I'm so old I remember that both the US and the UK used to tax very high incomes at 90%. AFTER you made a bunch of money THE REST was taxed a lot. If you make $1 billion you "only" take home $100 million.

How MANY problems do we have now with billionaires screwing up both countries, and the rest of the people struggling?

So don't tell me about solutions until you raise top tax rates back where they should be in a democracy.

The POINT of top tax rates is redistribution.

“We’re getting on to deliver more growth” says Rishi Sunak at todays #PMQs seemingly oblivious to UK predicted to have the slowest growth of every G20 economy except sanctioned Russia! Watch in disbelief on this link - it was just the start!

What's your sign? I'm No Yield

I wrote a thing about how Elon has now admitted that the "content moderation council" was always a smokescreen to appeal to advertisers, but he never intended to listen to them.

Also he claims he went back on his promises because activists promised not to try to "kill" twitter if he set up that council, but (he claims) they went back on that deal. Of course, that's all made up in his head, rather than reality.

Trans rights are human rights.

Black lives matter.

No human is illegal.

Love is love.

Their body, their choice.

Science is real.

Kindness is everything.

Make sure general nerdiness, tabletop roleplay, and other related pursuits are the kind of content you want to see in your timeline.

Our values obviously align, but our interests/hobbies might not. No hard feelings if you unfollow. 😉

While I am disappointed by today's ruling, I am sadly unsurprised.

This was never a voluntary union of nations; it merely projected the veneer of such.

The Union was first formed at the behest of the upper classes for financial gain, not the common people of Scotland.

I deeply hope that we will find a peaceful, legal route to independence soon, so that we can build a fairer country for all.

"I've always found Rwanda to be a very inspiring country," says Suella Braverman

After being shown these US State Department findings of major human rights abuses by the Rwandan government, Braverman refuses to comment but insists again that it is a "safe and secure country".

This is our Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, unable to answer a simple question about how someone fleeing persecution in an African country could claim asylum in the UK
