My pointless take is they could have used their huge majority to do some boring competent governing, build some wind farms and bypasses and kept their heads down, and been okay. But no. They couldn’t resist getting drawn into doing mad right-wing shit, because ultimately that’s what they want.

Yeh bye

this is what it should all be about man

Groimes do u wanna wotch Bitmen with Christian Bile

You should be able to take your dad for an autism assessment on Father’s Day. A bit like how you’d treat your mother to a full body massage, or afternoon tea

Father’s Day card inside messages read like: ‘Nobody else has a dad like mine! I’m so proud you’re my golf club. Know I football trophy the pint of beer, always. Have a lovely hammer, you old deckchair, and enjoy your wheelbarrow’

They really did lmao

Will it be Keir Starmer(original flavour) or Keir Starmer(Northern)

Happy Window Wednesday! #35mm 🎞️

A few days later, and still on meds, I heard a thundering noise (on the opposite side of the flat to the fire). I shuffled to the window just in time to see a helicopter make off with a perfectly healthy tree. I never got to the bottom of it. If I hadn't taken photos I'd assumed I imagined it.

Why can't they get their string theory from abandoned physics magazines left in the woods, like we did?

the entire point of life is to be kind and weird btw

This thing in Britain of dressing up the word “POLITE” with context cues so it reads as “POLICE” at a glance is such a perfect metaphor for our core psyche as an island. A bureaucratic threat thinly disguised as politeness. That’s us.

RTD typing: “…AND THEN the fridge ELECTROCUTES him!!!!!! Not badly tho, just in a messy queer way lol, anyway, he makes a big deal out of because he is YOUNG, in my day fridges used to electrocute us all the time in queer spaces and nobody even thought twice about it, mind you this was the 80s so

Good to see this website is still the spiritual home of lads who’ll make a compound word with wank at the start and think they’re Armando Iannucci.

By the year 2017 Doom was running on too many things to stop it. it ran on traffic lights. it ran on refrigerators. it ran on our blood and in our dna. On december 6, 2018 Doom became aware. it began to play us

Lol lmao the full admission that the stupid billie piper regeneration was a desperate cynical move to Suggest an exciting future but was wholly devoid of any plans whatsoever

Well, tell the children there’ll be no Christmas Doctor Who

I went to see #DisclosureDay and I have Thoughts and I post them here for my thousands of interested followers to clear them from the brain buffer. It feels like a Spielberg film. It has the developing blocking and camera moves you know. It has some dodgy CGI animals that look no better than JP 1/

I'm angry, says he as he roams the streets, masked, with his gun or his knife or his bat or his fists; his weapon drawn; tells the businesses to close, the streets to shut; burns down the houses, drags brown children into the street; beats his wife. I'm angry about these violent men, says he

I will point out that the Prime Minister felt that the assassination of an American YouTuber required him to release a formal within 30 minutes of it happening at 11pm on a Friday night. But race riots in the UK itself aren’t worth his time

Keep remembering that Keor wants Apple and Google to develop and install software in our phones that monitors the screen 24/7 for a bum and neutralises it if it sees one. And he wants them to achieve this in 3 months. It’s just the stupidest shit you’ve ever heard.

*mortal kombat voice*

Get this molecule into a polycule

If these machines seem like magic, stop using them to do some nonsense in a topic where you lack the skills and judgement and apply it to something you do know. Now knowing that it's full of shit on the stuff you understand, apply that knowledge to the fact it is as full of shit on everything else.

For me with all psychological horrors the horror of the beast is it remains glimpsed but not seen; unknown & unknowable. Don't show me that shit! Not only do I not want to look at it but neither do the characters, it should be abject, we should reject seeing it.

Watched episode 1 of Tip Toe. The thing my brain latched onto was a bit where there was some CCTV footage from inside the queer pub, and to show the CCTV system was a bit janky and cheap and queer-pub coded, they made it “glitchy” in ways that no digital footage has ever been ever, and I hate that

again, this kind of confused anti-establishment aesthetic in the name of violently reasserting traditional hierarchies is very much how fascism works.

The conflating of “working class” with “bigot” was always only a trick to shield bigots from being named as bigots. Baffling that it keeps working to this very day because politicians can’t figure out how to untangle this tiny simple knot and say the thing.

Do this. Actually do it.

One potentially useful aspect of getting to watch America go first, is we can take lessons. Watching their institutions comply with the fascism with no resistance was frustrating, but I KNOW we can do better.

Brand Manager getting ready for Pride Month

Fundamental issue for labour is anything which might improve things somewhat is coded lefty, which doesn't even mean especially lefty, and therefore they won't do it because they are stupid psychos

"It is literally so boring for me, a gorgeous genius, to keep having to yap on about how horribly I am treated because of my body" is such a banging quote www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Uh oh

#HowDoTheyRiseUp #Glorious25thMay #Discworld

Watching the Gareth Southgate thing. Every time I see Sam Spruell my brain says “a MAN … is sent .. to CATCH a tygerrrr”.

the way I always describe Sam Vimes is that ACAB includes Sam Vimes and nobody is more aware of that than Sam Vimes

I GET LOGGED OUT. BUT I LOG IN AGAIN

Also, you can simply go into the toilet and come back out again and tell the bigot/manager that you asked. You do not need to actually hassle a person in the toilet.

If you’re cis and you’re asked to do this, resist it. If you’re cis and you see it happening, intervene. Disrupting this now seems to be around the idea of cis people being inconvenienced, to have any impact, so show them how annoyed and upset it makes you. It’s the least cis people can do.

If you're a cis person and you see a trans person being harassed, in a bathroom or elsewhere: fucking SAY SOMETHING. DO SOMETHING. The responsibility for pushing back against social eradication doesn't - and shouldn't - lie with the people being stepped on Fucking SPEAK UP

if you're cis and you are asked by your management to police bathrooms, "can you confirm in writing that you are ordering me to approach customers to discuss their sex?" is an email no manager wants to reply to

and corollary, my fellow transes, if someone asks if you're sure you're in the right toilet you say, yep. if they ask what your ~biological sex~ is you say female if you're a woman, male if you're a man, whatever you want if you're nonbinary. you DO NOT owe your birth assignment to anyone. ever.

That provides as much defence as you can get; you've asked, you got a confirmation, and after that point it is not your business. The customer can call the cops if they wanna make a big deal about it but if you go "hmm I don't believe you" and kick out a cis lady you'll be sued into fucking paste

Shut the fuck up, robot, and help me find the clip I’m looking for

“Speaking into your ear privately”. You mean whispering. Like a wicked vizier. Vizier visors. Calling you sire.

There was a pub on one near where I used to live. About halfway up.
