Oh for fu—

I’d suggest that a Sky News presenter roaring at Polanski, who he quite obviously despises, and then nodding and smiling his way through wacko comments from brazen fascist crank Melanie Phillips, is helpfully illustrative of How It Came To This.

Philips is not the only dedicated racist working for the British media, but she's definitely an A-Tier crank. She has a level of total impunity it's hard to square with anything except: the editors like what she says, want to keep her saying it, and will punish people who criticise her.

This photo of aspiring Prime Minister Wes Streeting gets stranger the longer you look at it.

I have no problem with a party leader using social media to criticise police for brutalising an already restrained mentally ill human being by kicking him in the head repeatedly. In fact, I demand that criticism on every platform available. No apology necessary.

mugger: *points gun* your money or your life me: sure thing *hands him my id* you got 2 kids and didn’t actually understand the matrix mugger: no i mean- me: *already running away* you’re late for steph’s recital

I am once again asking my body to stop inventing new problems.

Midwit remains a phrase that says more about the person saying it than their intended target

Landlordism is to the UK a little like healthcare is to the US - there’s this system that absolutely cripples people and far too little conversation is directed at the fact that many, many similar countries simply don’t DO it this way.

The damage that austerity has done to people - and the strain it has shifted onto the NHS, social security system and councils - is probably the most under-discussed phenomenon of British politics ... because it disproportionately affects working class people. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Sadly Labour want this too they just haven’t the honesty to tell you.

Tell me you’ve never actually worked for a living without telling me you’ve never actually worked for a fucking living.

It's been clear for a hot minute an anti-autism diagnosis campaign is in the works but I am truly stunned they are literally just going for the Detransitioner playbook

Honestly on us for not seeing it coming it enjoyed success barring people from trans medical care why wouldn’t they just copy paste to deny autistic people the same

The reason we’re even discussing alcohol in parliament is because a working class woman who would have been sacked if she ever showed up to work drunk has entered the halls of power and has seen first hand that people who went to private school and run the country don’t face the same consequences.

Hmm, two general election in a row where an abysmal bastard was shitehoused to power by the British press, specifically to prop up a collapsing status quo, only to swiftly crash to hated public enemy status.

It’s really funny that Starmer is the *most* likeable person Labour has right now

Most of the so-called Little Women are average in size, and Louisa May Alcott specifically mentions that She Who Sleeps, the unseen fifth March sister, is nearly eighteen feet tall at the time of her slaying by the Knights Templar.

Even by Labour's sickeningly disgusting attitude towards vulnerable individuals, this is a new low by Mahmood. Under no possible criteria could Afghanistan be classed as safe. Labour has already prevented Afghans from seeking asylum. This compounds the inhumanity. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

The day these fuckers are put out of business/ yeeted into the sun cannot come quickly enough for me. I hate them I hate them I hate them.

The TERFs are now aligning with the anti LGBTQ hate group ADF to target a non-competitive recreational run called Parkrun in the UK to end their inclusion of trans people. www.independent.co.uk/sport/great-...

Apparently terfs think men have a biological advantage in "having a nice time outdoors"

Putin’s aims for Ukraine are textbook genocidal. He says Ukraine doesn’t get to exist, that Ukrainian language & culture doesn’t exist. His actions - civilian massacres, occupation, executing people who have Ukrainian symbols, the child abductions - all genocidal

open.substack.com/pub/councile... “Law-abiding citizens have nothing to fear.” They always use that line to head off dissent again civil liberty infringement. "If you’ve done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear from perverts with augmented-reality tech."

13 1/2 hour work day, mental health doing the hokey kokey, back hurts, knuckles all arthritisy feeling, and got home too late so now I’m spite-awake because I don’t want to go back to work in 10 hours. Living the fucking dream.

I wonder what they'll do when the school smartphone ban doesn't solve all the issues they're ascribing to social media

The rape academy news is this year's bear test in that if a man cares more about the number of men involved over the existence of a literal rape academy then they have shown themselves to not actually care about the victims, just that they are not lumped into a group with the abusers.

They can't even get the numbers right while rushing to defend themselves. 62 million hits in the last month. 80 million hits in a busy month. But that ignores the roughly TWENTY THOUSAND VIDEOS AND PICTURES OF VICTIMS

You cannot reason or find compromise with people who are so unhinged that even the simplest gesture of support for trans people provokes a shrieking tantrum, and it is pointless to try. Some people really need to learn this.

i am a pretty basic straight man so i do get things wrong when it comes to feminism and listening to women generally, like a lot of men do, but this concerted effort to make women seem like they're too angry over nothing when there are clear and present dangers all over society is just insane really

strange these op-eds about women being too angry have all come out the last few days when during the same time there's also been a massive investigation published on an online rape academy with millions of viewers a month and none of them have bothered to even cover it, even as news

No surprise that the CEO of Palantir, a tech monopoly financed mainly by the state, whose founder distrusts democracy, which builds tools to centralise state surveillance, has a problem with pluralism: “We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism”

“JK Rowling is great, but it would be dreadful if what she’s done to trans people were done to me.” Cognitive dissonance doesn’t begin to cover it.

"JK Rowling, the author who has become a lightning rod for the ire of the trans community" As if being angry at this person were only conceivable if you're part of the community she's victimising, rather than a natural feeling for any decent human being.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

youtube.com/watch?v=kJFp... Ooooooh!! 😁

I mean, okay, but how do we expect young people brought up to Be Kind and respect each other to respond, when it’s graphically demonstrated the world’s most rich and powerful people are a clique of fascist sex offenders promoting racism, hatred and genocide? Are they meant to shrug and say, Oh dear.

@labouruk.bsky.social making money while the sun shines .

Get these anti-life equation monsters tae fuck. No-one with a brain in their head wants them anywhere near the NHS.

America has always done what America does. Screw their own people over healthcare, screw other nations for oil, dictate who can lead and who can profit. Trump is following the same script. Only he's doing it so badly and so nakedly, he's exposed America for the whole world to see it for what it is

I’m gonna be honest, I don’t really get this whole real wages adjusted for inflation stuff, but I do get graphs like this

Do not watch Sesame Street on Tubi with the subtitles on 😭. I swear, I didn't edit or add anything. Is it hilarious? Yes, but also, they need to fix this immediately. Absolutely incomprehensible and bad

beware the bird of wrath
