like, not only does the piece leave out that it’s the police department’s gun range but. or a single parent takes responsibility for the fact that they SIGNED THEIR CHILD UP FOR BASEBALL NEXT TO THE GUN RANGE

no call no show. that’s my vote

FUCK IT!!!!! TIMELINE CLEANSE!!!!! ROLL THE CLIP!!!!!!

I also want to note that 'suspected drug boat' is not a legal category - either something is carrying civilians or it's carrying combatants, and murdering everybody on board is not how that determination is supposed to be made. Especially when we aren't at war with the place the vessel is from?

pls be fr rn

The Heritage Foundation is urging the FBI to see speech in favor of trans rights as an incitement to violence. Perfectly normal day in our great country. Plus, schools are finding out how cruel anti-trans laws impact their students, and an inspiring effort to help poor trans people afford hormones.

can't believe this was broadcast on the BBC.

There are 4.24m people with Indefinite Leave to Remain (or equivalent). 82% are in work, compared with 74% of Britons 3.8m are in relationships with Britons They have about 2.4m British-born children. This bullshit is never going to happen. Again. But... www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

I missed it!

A bit of James Baldwin today: "I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain"

Where Reform is headed is very much in line with the new right, that in order to save western democracy it must be destroyed. Patriotism as nihilism. Culture wars to become real ones. Very dangerous stuff.

GUESS WHAT WEEK IT IS

omg

From @hcrichardson.bsky.social: "the U.S. Dept of Agriculture is ending its annual report on household food security." An expert who explains that this is troubling because inflation is up & the job market is unstable, both of which increase food insecurity. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR. This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

I've been trying to understand why this isn't generating as much fury as it should, and i think it's because there is a fundamental belief among many americans that the military can pretty much do whatever (which isn't entirely inaccurate.) that said, what the actual fuck.

we must remove toxic from the community

what the actual algorithmic fuck (u may need to a scroll down)

Today I will be honoring Charlie Kirk’s legacy by soliciting money from billionaires who want to set the agenda of my platform and organization.

poolside w one of my favorite Spaniards, Perlina

I s2g I do not have main character syndrome, but the timing of the USA spiraling upwards *several* levels of unwell in the (checks notes) mere 18 days I’ve been abroad *does* make me feel like I am personally being pranked

hahahahahha let the Ronaldo Statuing, the Tom Brady Courtroom Sketchification BEGIN

Is there a Selkieficiation happening amongst conservative women?? does anyone know? it would certainly be Something if they ended up filling the Fox News screen w giant puffed sleeves

i literally misread this as 20th, but tomayto tomahto

louder for the so-called Christians in the back

Large anti corruption protests in the Philippines are underway. Triggered by deadly floods which exposed $2billion lost to corruption in flood defence projects some of which didn't exist at all. www.rappler.com/philippines/... And a familiar flag is being flown at the protests.

they’re just afraid of him. People with the power to do something about the clearly declining man inventing stories are afraid of him and they are afraid of his supporters. Every “let’s get you to bed, grandpa” moment is being repackaged by the media as competent leadership. It’s infuriating.

not settleable as the expression goes

i would rather reread 50 Shades, painful as that was, than be inside this man’s head for a single second

CompuKirk said *do not waste one second mourning me* and it would be disrespectful not to listen

love all of it esp how one of the last blocking girls gives kitty paw interference

"Increasingly, federal judges have ruled the administration’s deployment of the automatic stay is unconstitutional, depriving people of basic due process rights. They’ve ordered immigrants detained as a result of the stay to be immediately released." www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

An entire Bette Davis movie, 'Watch on the Rhine' (1943), dedicated to anti-fascists

All these unforced errors, like lionizing Kirk in congress, this is just emphasizing how utterly useless these folks are as leaders. They lack actual values. They are willing to do whatever the fascists want, ultimately. And that's why they're actually dangerous to us, these useless Dems.

Anti-immigration demonstration in the Netherlands escalates. This is exactly what happens when far-right ideas are tolerated and normalised over an extended period of time. The far right gains confidence and grows, both at the ballot box and in the streets. nos.nl/artikel/2583...

dislike the collective psychosis coming from OK but like learning about the pee brain

Good. Every day is a day I can encourage the UK to deny Musk entry to the county. Yes: Sally Rooney No: Elon Musk

usually I am dictionary-pilled but I am realizing that I inherited this word with a vibes-based usage. bec tell me why I thought it meant like several several. like 19-29 or something

common sense!

Something this yank has grown a bit of understanding of in recent years of BritPod listening is the economic value of 🇬🇧 Universities and how the State seems keen to tank that for ??? reasons. This, however, seems to be on Oxford—have to read the piece

I love podcasts! Without them I would never know that there are children in Indonesia laboring in a faux VR McDonalds. I know, I know, it sounds really depressing but this is actually a “fun ep” and includes mocking Zuckerberg, and who doesn’t love that? #KillTheComputer #Plug #TheyDontPayMeILikeIt

I don’t want to talk about Ezra Klein ever is what I’m arriving at but this is an important exception: We already lost Roe. It was 3 years ago. Everyone reading this was there. State protection for abortion-health care-is-a-human-right is WHAT WE HAVE LEFT. So NO “we” should not run antichoice

what is this his new fucking hobby?! does he have a drone strike productivity app??? I am LOSing it

new “if i could time travel” just dropped

i feel for all my exes and many current besties bc this is what it’s like trying to get me up in the morning

I have, as a Citizen by Birthright, have made a couple jokey-jokes about my unusually long trip overseas and how by the time I’m due to return it may not be legal to do so and... Sure, this isn’t my cohort *now* but it sure is a lot of former colleagues and pals and it’s not really a joke. at all.
