Gotta say, this weather is some bullshit, Wellington. I still love you and all. But, what the fuck?

Venezuela, now Iran. We’re in the era of vibe-coded warfare.

out of interest, does anyone have any good historic examples of foreign adversaries killing a head of state and said state going "gosh, you win, guess we'll do what you want now"?

Yeah: setting this precedent is bad news and bad vibes.

What the genocide in Gaza reinforced is that there are no "civilians" when it comes to Israel and the United States. The rest of the world learned the same lesson and the consequences are going to be felt across the world.

obviously today is a huge embarrassment for Matt Goodwin and for Reform, which is something that we absolutely ought to celebrate, but we must also remember it's a huge embarrassment for Morgan McSweeney and Maurice Glasman and all the Blue Labour weirdos, and that's important to celebrate too :)

lmao. Let the slow motion and incompetent defenestration of Starmer commence!

You got to feel for Matt Goodwin. Sorry missed a word. You got to feel contempt for Matt Goodwin.

🥳🥳🥳🥳

Hahaha. Fuck you Matt Goodwin.

Matt Goodwin: loser.

Pro Trump, Pro Netanyahu fanatics Larry and David Ellison will most likely now control Paramount, CBS, CNN, HBO, Warner Bros, and TikTok

lmao. Let the slow motion and incompetent defenestration of Starmer commence!

You and your shitty, unseasoned AI. No wonder your breath smells.

Flavor Flav would never allow this to happen to the women’s team.

NYPD smol beans with their chokeholds and zip ties and pepper spray and guns

"Today, the Brazilian Supreme Court announced that they had convicted the masterminds behind the assassination of socialist Rio de Janeiro City Councilwoman Marielle Franco guilty on all counts." massive news in Brazil today, writeup by @mikeelk.bsky.social paydayreport.com/rio-police-c...

a good illustration of why the "men are vicious misogynists because they're lonely" thing is nonsense. do we think these hockey players are lonely? they're celebrated professional athletes! they just think patriarchy is cool.

Does Zia Yusuf not realise that the Reform Party’s ICE equivalent will come for him first….?

Also, Queen Elizabeth II protected her hellspawn progeny, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Beloved national grandmother and protector of degenerates.

Wake me up when they abolish the royal family.

I’m sorry but she paid Virginia £12m, she knew everything and if she didn’t, her people really weren’t doing their jobs properly. Less of the vulnerable old lady shiz.

Everything is gambling

some of you are looksmaxxing when you need to be booksmaxxing

one reset I'd personally appreciate: behind the insistence that we must offer the electorate a little bigotry is the idea that commoners are more bigoted than the richer and more educated, who can be appealed to with high minded policy. but then you Ctrl+F "phrenology" in the Epstein files

anyway let’s check in with keir starmer to see how “conceding to popular prejudice” is working our for the labour party

The concentration camps will not only be for immigrants, documented or otherwise. They already aren't. They won't only be for brown and Black people. The targets will keep expanding. It will not end. The only way it will is if we stop it. Both in and out of the system. There is no other way.

A two month old baby in one of the country's immigrant concentration camps is suffering from bronchitis and was recently unresponsive. They are refusing him care. A baby may be killed at the hands of ICE. Will we care about this as much as a white man being murdered?

I drank a lot of coffee before this sorry. open.substack.com/pub/jackmand...

Wellington, I love you, but what the fuck is this weather?

The worm in his brain starved to death

My most conservative-coded opinion is that we should bring back dignity and honor as social sorting mechanisms* *thus annihilating most actually-existing ‘conservatism’

It's still depressing that so many so called leftists are throwing the term "zio" around without a care in a world despite being repeatly told that the term was coined by David Duke and is antisemitic.

one thing I find ridiculous is that people claim to find AI so useful for "idea generation", when I and every other remotely creative person I know has more incredible ideas than they can complete in a few lifetimes. If you need AI for ideas, no you don't -- you need to be more creative.

Billionaire (parasite) Jim Ratcliffe thinks immigrants are the problem?

I wrote about why I'm skeptical of that AI author earning six figures pumping out 200 books a year story, but also about how authors might need to surf above the waves of slop countercraft.substack.com/p/surfs-up-i...

At last, some Wuthering Heights hate.

Internecine fighting always ends up thus. Revolutions eating their own children etc. I hope McSweeney’s days are filled with further failures. May his days be long and onerous.

I’m glad McSweeney is gone, but it would do the Labour Party well to consider why someone like that who made black and brown people feel unsafe in the party was afforded so much influence.

We’re already at the weasels fighting in a sack portion of this government
