There is almost no one in a position of power and influence in this country that believes in decency, humanity or kindness.
A sea turtle surfacing by a MASSIVE school of rays near Clearwater, Florida a couple days ago. Another post into the BluSky void. Maybe 2 or 3 people will see this one and my time won't have been wasted. I'll keep trying a little longer. #nature #animals #amazing #wildlife #awesome #ocean
Italian photographer Valerio Minato spent six years planning a perfectly aligned shot of the Moon with Turin’s Basilica of Superga and Monviso. Weather delays thwarted annual chances until December 2023, when a crescent Moon with visible da Vinci glow completed his long-envisioned composition

📽️ #MovieChallenge Teaser Can you spot the connection between these four movies for Week 36's theme?
Yes, let’s see how many hotels are besieged when the weather gets wetter and colder.
@samcoatessky.bsky.social hi Sam, this morning you stated “…the main opposition parties, the Cons and Reform UK…” Unless I missed 67 Parliamentary by-elections since July, the Lib Dems are very much the main opposition party with the Cons, not Reform. Do we have to keep doing this?
We have flags on a bridge in Yeovil. I’m thinking of how we can flip this, maybe writing something like “For All” across them. Don’t take them down so they can’t complain about that but turn it into something more positive .
Then spend the rest of your weekend shouting at hotels.
Imagine being so ‘patriotic’ you spend your Saturday vandalising roundabouts like Temu Banksy. NHS underfunded, schools crumbling, but don’t worry — we’ve got freshly glossed patriotism between Tesco and the A46.

They need to get rid of it to curtail our rights so they invent propaganda to convince the public that it does bad things to them.
Where has this ludicrous ECHR "debate" even come from. I've never once met an ordinary member of the public who's said to me, "Do you know what? We REALLY need to leave the ECHR." It's just a new right wing talking point because every other shit idea they've foisted on us has run out of steam.

#Filmsky First watch of A Simple Favour. Could be considered as a black comedy film noir, this is actually a lot of fun. Anna Kendrick is great as the woman in the middle but Blake Lively sizzles as the femme fatale. 7/10

Not as deep as some but my maths teacher who told me in the late 80s we couldn’t use calculators in exams because “you won’t always have a calculator in your pocket”, so I can just tap my phone in front of her.

As a young adult, I was groomed by society into toxic positivity and internalised ableism. It took several years, and a lot of suffering, to realise how wrong I was. I think many newly disabled folk face similar issues and realisations... Which ends up making their health worse
RW bigots think that all Muslims are non white and therefore believe they aren’t British regardless of where they were born. Before I left the other place I had a person tell me that they had to be able to trace their lineage back to the 1700s to be called British. That’s the shit we’re dealing with

#Filmsky #MovieChallenge 4: First watch of The Two Faces of January. Adaption of a Patricia Highsmith book this never really gets out of second gear. The chemistry between Oscar Isaac and Kirsten Dunst pull it through. 6/10
As noted elsewhere in this thread, Isaac from Crystal Clean Windows York Limited came over and cleaned the restaurants windows for free and helped remove the graffiti. That's patriotism! Trying to make your community better. Reaching out and helping others.

Why on earth do the Tories want to keep people locked into high energy bills? And, come to that, why is the BBC citing Reform but saying nothing about climate science or renewable alternatives? Complete madness - except for the fossil fuel industry of course
British values as endorsed by Nigel Farage. Repugnant, despicable bigots who are being emboldened by the media, Farage, the Tories and Labour.

Done similar with album covers, good call.
So US movie friends, the chance to import any of our UK-exclusive 4K and Blu-ray discs, at reasonable cost, is gone. At least for the time being. All packages now get tariffs applied, regardless of value. That tariff could easily be $80, even for one disc. Don’t wanna to say I warned you, but…
This is where the empty headed Flag shagging leads. Race hate.

They will say the same as they did about Yaxley-Lennon using a family with mixed races to paint the black people as paedophiles. “He didn’t do anything. It was other people who interpreted something.” Absolute bullshit obviously, they both knew exactly what they were inferring and inciting.

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

Yes, I wasn’t aware Rylan also worked for BBC. Only seen him on ITV. Your point is correct about narratives.
#Filmsky Rewatch of The After Tomorrow. Yeah, it’s jokey, yeah the science while having a little basis in reality is stretched to breaking point, yeah it’s overly sentimental but it doesn’t over stretch and actually has a little more applicability to now. 7/10
Fair point.
Of course it wasn’t, he said truthfully things that challenged the RW media bias.
Just seen a headline from BBC “ Why Government’s win in Epping may come at a political cost ? ”. Next question why getting rid of biased BBC Governors is long overdue ? Incitement is never a good look for the BBC.
It wasn’t the BBC, it was ITV. Free speech: if he truly believed it then he can say it. What should happen is he should be challenged over it, told to produce evidence and, if he can’t, made to retract the statement. Free speech does not mean free of consequences.
BREAKING: The BBC won't be sacking Rylan Clark because its presenters are only forbidden from expressing political opinions that are unreasonable, such as objection to genocide x
This is my flag.

The BBC and the rest of them are owned and run by RW. It’s part of the plan to get Farage in to No.10, take us out of ECHR and remove all our rights. Then the persecutions will begin.
The cultists do and want it. Unfortunately it is the general populace that only get fed their bullshit propaganda by the servant media that think it won’t happen.
Jack Straw was central to the UK's support for 'war on terror' rendition and torture. David Blunkett pioneered the UK's mass citizenship-stripping regime. *Of course* they agree with Reform and the Tories that we should opt out of the ECHR and weaken human rights protections.
