OK, so this could have been worse, and some of it looks good from Burnham

I'm not a convinced pro-PR person but it might offer something. Speaking outright for the Union is good. Speaking about the options for better relations with the EU sounds like putting it off a bit, but at least it's movement

I'd say 6, could maybe be convinced to revise that as high as 8

There was a bloke I knew once who was convinced that the colour of the sky came from reflecting the blue of the sea.

Tribalism.
Many people on the right will always vote for their tribe, regardless of results.
It happens on the left, but we are always more of a coalition that has to be constantly convinced.
It is not a symetrical contest.

Maine is like this. I’m convinced it’s just a scheme to out the people from away.

So I’m even more convinced that trump is not the guiding force behind this presidency. Someone who wanted a controllable figure chose trump to be president and manipulated him into wanting what they wanted. Because the power attracted him but the ideals were just a vehicle.

Literally brought me to tears. Diversity is a Strength, and I'll never be convinced otherwise.

I mean, lots of people were thrilled with all of Starmer’s promises with first, his pledges, then, to be elected PM. I think we need Burnham to show us in implemented policy. I’ll only be convinced with changes that are made, not with words; never again! PS I do like him though!

Dear me. You are American. Who knew?

I shudder to think what examining my inner life would turn up.

(But you're right. I was convinced he'd jump rather than be pushed because he must have been able to see how bad at it he was. But no.)

New polling has found that support for Scottish independence rises to almost 60% if Scottish voters become convinced that Northern Ireland is moving towards a united Ireland & Wales towards independence.

is inevitable:

Yeah. I had brief contact in a professional capacity with her years ago, which convinced me it was best to keep my distance. Finally blocking was a moment of great peace, and I've never regretted it.

I like to mess with them. I had one telemarketer convinced my computer had caught fire .... in strong India accident "Take it to the kitchen sink!!!" I think he was truly concerned. Of course my laughter tipped him off.
Otherwise I just ask them "Does your mother know you lie to ppl for a living?"

I think that between advances in computers, antimatter, and cryogenics, we - or electronic versions of ourselves - will reach the stars.

I did believe that our basic nature won't change and we'll babber it all up. Recent developments have convinced me that we have to change or we're screwed.

Whatever drama I manage to get myself in, I remain convinced that if your concern is purely about how you look to oppressive fuckheads, you're just helping the oppressive fuckheads. Fuck the optics.
Another friendly reminder that appeasement doesn't work. Being "one of the good ones" and excluding those that you think are less palatable won't make them like you.
This is funny, it really is.

However.

I don't think I have any "keep politics out of furry uwu" people following me, but if i do, you need to think about this. No amount of keeping it SFW is going to be enough for him. They will make your hobby political, and owning that is our only defense.

Normally I’m not one to mock someone’s physical appearance but he’s such an evil little freak convinced of his own genetic superiority I think he’s earned some body shaming.
September 29, 2026 at 2:32 PM
Yes, but he didn't exactly make a case for the union, especially given the back drop of a series of policies that were nearly all England only. Yes, I get he doesn't want to be the last UK PM, but I am not convinced his "emotion" would sway many voters tempted by the SNP, Paid or Sinn Fein.

It's easier to #savethecaps with a prime asset on the pitch. @risingaction.bsky.social with good news on that front as the Caps have convinced Thomas Muller to stay in Vancouver.

Do the Lions really have a CB development problem?

The recent draft history says it’s more complicated.

And that was a total read line for me when that person went there! Like what the fuck is wrong with you that you need to be this convinced I'm the world's greatest criminal threat that when I was in Philly for my own things & we hung out you framed this as my stalking you, a criminal offense.
The nerve of somebody to actually think I gave that much of a fuck about them to go to Philly just to stalk them & not because I had my own things to do there & thought you see friends while you're in town. @mewefree.bsky.social

The stupidest thing ever is how America has been convinced that healthcare for all would somehow enable people who 'don't deserve it' to stay alive.

Mind boggling...

Playful dog but the cat doesn't want any part of it.

The dog is still convinced it is victorious and the cat will make it home for its food without a care in the world.

The daily life of cats and dogs.

Smith- democracy prevailed on J6 because of Republicans! It was their testimony and actions that saved democracy. Smith is clearly non partisan but rightfully convinced of Trump guilt based on clear evidence and legal basis.
September 29, 2026 at 2:27 PM
Thats definitely what I got, she's simultaneously sheltered but also her parents don't seem to really talk to her as a person, so she has no framework for anything except what she convinced herself of when she was 8

Well, I might as well talk about that surprise Stevie EP that dropped digitally yesterday. I got a text about it yesterday morning and couldn't believe it even existed, knowing what Stevie has expressed about his unreleased work.

I'm so glad he was convinced to let these four songs out to us.
September 29, 2026 at 2:24 PM
I wont be surprised if they are doing this on purpose.

They know they need Trump out and they are using Jack Smith as their decoy/cover.

This way they don't have to face Trumps wrath and Jacks testimony will only serve to convince those who are not convinced yet of how terrible Trump really is.
