It should go without saying that the aim here is to collapse Iran - a country of ninety million people - into ungovernable chaos and Mad Max-style warlord catastrophe, much as they have every other country from Libya to Afghanistan that they could not buy off.

new cryptic shift album

thank fuck

Call me a wide-eyed idealist if you will, but I believe my duties as a citizen *should not* need to include continually asking myself “Am I being blanket lied to, radicalised and fleeced in constant, daily all channels propaganda campaigns created by bleak cynics”.

These people are poison. They will unleash racist thugs on the streets of this country and call it security. They will subjugate us to the US and call it patriotism. They must be stopped. There is no more important task in politics.

BREAKING: Mandelson dead

Every day we get an example of Freddie DeBoer’s point that people are supportive of people suffering from mental illness right up to the point that it becomes awkward or unpleasant for them

‘Royal Correspondent’ gotta be one of the top ten fake jobs of all time

Maryam Moshiri and India McTaggart on BBC talking about how Andrew's arrest was done "by the book" but that they thought it may/should(?) have been done in a more "civilised" manner, ie. by appointment. Because "the book" is only there to be thrown at us uncivilised-es.

i'll be honest, arsenal potentially blowing it would be more exciting if anyone cared about the team in second place

Thank you DJ Shadow for making Orion good youtu.be/JB3KDt78tUw?...

make local coop to play with wife

BREAKING: McSweeney dead

So much easier to spot who has a fetish for getting yelled at on bsky than it was on twitter

You should always laugh at small business owners. They prey on their communities, squeeze them dry, vote for fascists, and then demand sympathy when something backed by private equity undercuts them until they go bust

Don’t take your eye off the ball, people. There is nothing more important right now than deciding what we all think about Will Stancil

i think i hauve Covid

My favourite pop album

Frankly, after failing Palestine, no humiliation is too great for 'the ummah'

Hell exists

International law governing conflict isn’t just “at a breaking point.” It was intentionally destroyed to protect Israel’s war on Gaza.

BREAKING: Mandelson dead

tired: 4th cup of coffee wired: 4th cup of coffee

Just so: they fucked over everyone in this country by deliberately wrecking us all into Boris Johnson and diamond hard Brexit. And now, if the public don’t give them what they want, they will deliberately wreck us all into Farage and fascism. Because they are the only real people who matter.

BREAKING: Elon Musk dead

Youtube guys who have thumbnails like this will never enter the kingdom of heaven

statistically speaking (and based off the articles) it is a near certainty that thousands of people currently patrolling the streets in Minnesota are people who did not immediately believe the warnings of the left 10 years ago. I see very little criticism of *them* on here

Sure, if you're not a hack and the opinion was something like 'I support mandatory digital ID'. However, if, for example, you spent two years as a politician or reporter or columnist defending mass slaughter by Israel and are now tepidly saying "maybe Israel has gone too far," then no.

Turns out that Arsenal vs. '08 Man Utd was an irrelevant debate. Even '26 Utd are better.

@eurogamer.bsky.social am I making this up or did you used to have a piece by Nathan Ditum about the Death From Above mission in COD4? Can't find it anymore :(

Happy Stylish But Illegal Monkey In IKEA Day to all who celebrate!

in this week's column! I discuss what it took for me to become an Adult Gamer and I argue that you, too, should play video games: youngvulgarian.substack.com/p/we-should-...

column maybe coming on this but I don't hugely care about what 61-year-old Farage got up to at school? and I think that Fleet Street finally gunning for him is symptomatic of a culture where the gotcha/scoop factor matters so much that hidden past actions are seen as worse than current, public ones

This Pluribus ad on a fridge caused a schizophrenic woman named Carol to be hospitalized.

the thing about spotify wrapped is you can just post a 3x3 anytime anywhere. you do not need computer to tell you what songs you have been listening to

The Spiritual Sound, ecstatic black metal by the band Agriculture, is the album of the year. That's my list.

Why is The Pitt not available in the UK? This is anti-British discrimination once again from HBO.

when someone tells me not to use em dashes because AI uses em dashes

Your periodic reminder that this song goes so fucking hard

Repeatedly asking the supermarket staff for a 'chocolate battle pass' and feigning misunderstanding when they ask if I mean 'advent calendar'

You’re gonna see posts that make you think “I agree on principle but you seem unwell.” That’s the bluesky promise.
