Our criteria for success are disastrously skewed. In my view, a successful person is one who does more good than harm, on any scale. On this measure, most billionaires are massive failures, while humble folk in my neighbourhood who look after other people are highly successful.

Профиль VivelyI like country walks, music and good documentaries. Antifascist, preservation of nature and heritage as much as possible, and plant as many trees as possible, which means less sheep. I vote for The Green Party 💚
On this day in 1980, these legends met in London: Chrissie Hynde, Pauline Black, Debbie Harry, Poly Styrene, Viv Albertine and Siouxsie Sioux. 📸Chris Stein
Gary Lineker described the ban on Palestine Action as “the biggest absurdity” to the @palestinedeepdive.bsky.social podcast yesterday. Gary ridiculed arrests of “little old ladies [as] terrorists”. Yet today in Burnham's Britain over 70 people (including old ladies) have been arrested again.

Labour have let the people of Manchester down. They have rewarded speculators and forgotten about the homeless. Now they can’t even be bothered to turn up and explain their plans for the future. Vote Green in Manchester mayoral contest!
Zack PolanskiI'm hearing Bev Craig didn't turn up to the hustings in Greater Manchester this evening organised by the Forum of Muslim Organisations. After years of complicity in a genocide Labour won't even acknowledge, it's a great shame they couldn't even show up and explain themselves.
Molfar, possibly one of my all time fav songs by @tangerinecat-music.bsky.social . I can't get tired of listening in to it 🖤😍
On January 20 I stopped using X. I should have deactivated the account, but assumed it was safe. Unfortunately it has been hacked by crypto scammers. I'm now shut out of it and out of X, so I can't close it down. I've appealed, but it may take some time. In the meantime, what you're seeing isn't me.
When the US ruling class says that something poses a threat to the "American way of life", what they actually mean is it poses a threat to the interests of US capital accumulation.
