Your first thought after killing the last of the Demeter’s crew

👴 Guys, this year we're going to pretend that we don't understand why people are angry with us or the Labour Party. 👨 What if they call us on it? Won't it be obvious, even for us? 👴 Just call them deranged trolls like always! Just say they have brain damage. They're plebs. 👨 I like us anyway.

This, transphobia and great replacement racism have been the things this Government has been most passionate about.

Happy new year! It’s them, or all of us.

Accurate. It’s about middle aged men harassing their employees into submission and the only two female main characters (Thompson, Linney) have unhappy endings.

Mel - quoted in the manifesto of a fascist mass shooter who murdered seventy seven people, including a large number of teenagers he specifically targeted as children of socialists - says incitement to murder is disqualifying. Every day, these papers are rubbing everyone’s faces in their impunity.

Graham Linehan retweeted 'The Toilet Constable' cover I made for the latest Robert Galbraith / JK Rowling book which sent a hundred piss-boiled headbangers into my mentions, but I got him good on the QT x.com/darren_culle...

piers morgan is an indictment of our news media class in that he wasn't tossed aside the second he published those fake torture photos during the iraq war. he should have been out of the public sphere for the past 20 years. instead he's been allowed to build himself as a british tucker carlson.

Much like Labour, the BBC has burned its natural supporters to chase the populist right, who inevitably continue to despise it

Just started a long overdue reread of V for Vendetta. This is from Alan Moore’s introduction to the trade paperback…

Galaxy Quest, like Iron Giant , Fury Road and Tremors, is one of those rare movies without flaws. It's not just good, but miraculous.

This is how cults work, by the way. They convince you to buy deeper and deeper into the cult’s project and cut yourself off from friends and family, who might help you to realise your new mates are roasting your brains.

An absolutely magnificent Freudian slip! 🤌🏼

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

Look, I'm not going to war for Keir Starmer either. Like I get the point here but also, is there a chance we could avoid doing the 2000s thing of "if you aren't prepared to go kill and bomb for NATO you hate freedom"?

I'll save you the bother its going to be Russia and China and in no way US Extreme fundamentalist Christians and Zionists.

When 97% is 'no clear consensus', and 52% is 'the will of the people', it's time to face facts that Governments do what Governments want to do regardless of what their people actually want.

The pinnacle here of a decade of wealthy, very right wing crackpots squealing about being oppressed by the people they are bullying and harming, while opportunistically suing the piss out of any critics they think they can beat in court.

Mears, Serco, and Clearsprings oversee most asylum accommodation in UK and make huge profits doing so, despite a significant proportion of accommodation being substandard. It isn't people seeking safety costing taxpayers money, it's the firms making profits off of them. www.bbc.com/news/article...

That’s the thing about Trump: he has no positive virtues at all. He isn’t hard working or dedicated, he isn’t fun or generous or decent. He isn’t kind to children and animals: he appears to despise most of his kids. Even when he’s funny - which he can be - it’s usually because he’s being cruel.

Hell, this might actually reflect the full sweep of acceptable opinion in British media circles now: a deeply unpleasant single-issue wingnut; a dull-as-fuck driving gloves Tory and a malicious fascist crackpot.

Robin Ince reveals to last night’s audience at a recording of Infinite Monkey Cage that the BBC has forced him to resign over his support of trans people

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

omw to thatchers grave

The public inquiry into the Iraq War was as damning as it’s possible to be within this system. The parliamentary report on Libya tore the government a new arse. Both of them were instantly thrown in the bin and never mentioned again, in favour of inviting the culprits on TV and giving them peerages.

The fact you can't tax billionaires without them sinking millions and millions into pushing fascism kinda provides the exact reason that billionaires shouldn't exist.

Nice one, Spidey.
