🍉 UNE POLICE DU VÊTEMENT CONTRE LA CAUSE PALESTINIENNE

Vous avez aimé la traque aux "robes longues" dans les lycées au nom d'une fausse "laïcité ? Vous allez adorer les amendes pour un pin's en forme de pastèque !

À Lyon, le 31 mai, des policiers ont mis en place une traque aux symboles évoquant la Palestine. Notre article à lire ici : https://contre-attaque.net/2024/06/04/une-police-du-vetement-contre-la-cause-palestinienne/

As my MP, I have met Michael Gove a number of times, and each time he confirmed my suspicions that he is a slimy, duplicitous and generally unlikable man.

Him swanning off and not facing the music is exactly what I’ve come to expect from someone with the fortitude of a paper bag underwater. I would have loved for him to have his Portillo moment, but seeing him gone is the next best thing. Good riddance.

Irish folk music star Christy Moore performs Jim Page’s song ‘Palestine’ on VMTV's The Tonight Show. The performance coincided with Ireland's historic announcement that it will formally recognize the State of Palestine.

"What do you do when they come to your home
And they tell you your land is no longer your own
Do you let them take it or do you dare to resist
Standing in the road with a rock in your fist"

Am about to attend a meeting on future digital plans for my institution today. Have just been sent slides by someone which mentions transhumanism and space tourism.

Your thoughts and prayers would appreciated at this moment.

That guilty look, when you're caught stealing all the wombats.

Hello #Mastodon!

This is my first post on Mastodon. I am usually to be found on www.unmannedspaceflight.com but I will be sharing space-related images here as well.

Please note: It is common for me to take at least 1-2 days to read my emails and even more time to reflect on certain matters and respond. The culture of capitalism, immediacy, and fragmentation of time are not compatible with how I aspire to live.

I'm Taking The Prime Minister To The High Court | Chris Packham

In September the Prime Minister and his Government announced delays for key climate commitments, tearing up plans to tackle vehicle emissions & phase out gas boilers.

Today I can announce I'm taking them to the High Court – but I need your help.

Not to brag, but I was spewing out hilariously incorrect information before huge tech companies decided to create AI chatbots and ruin the internet.
