If there was ever a moment for America to realise that this is not the future they should be aiming for, this is it. When masked, armed men shoot a pastor in order to protect their country from what exactly ... Christian values?

My top tip if you want to be a Hollywood actor and enjoy success no matter what: make sure you get signed up by Jared Leto's agent.

I grew up in the UK in the early eighties. Every time I see this flag, I am reminded it was used by members of the NF shouting racist slogans and beating people up. I too feel fear when i see this flag. Not because of the flag itself, but because of people who brandish it as an excuse for violence

This lurid headline is about British tourists no longer getting away with overstaying in Schengen. Or being 'illegals', as it's often called in the UK.

Superb band, with some of their b-sides being so so much better than most bands a-sides. (Shame the album is poorly sequenced with a terrible choice of songs)

just had a god botherer at the door them: hi, where do you get your information? me: the internet. them: there's a lot of it isn't ther- me: the internet? yeah. quite big. them: and some of it's wro- me: but some of it's right. them: have you thought to ask god? me: does he know the bus times?

Oh my God this.

Robert Jenrick's comments about Handsworth represent more of his abhorrent racism. There's no way he can look at the colour of someone's face and tell how "integrated" they are. Also, he went to Handsworth during a bin strike to make a video about litter to smear that community. #ToryRacism

www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle... Interesting and insightful, though i don't agree with all of it. It does have good points. Her point about her toddler and her not being there to provide them with only good feelings and happiness is valid - sometimes there will be the unpleasant feelings too

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act. I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. It’s unfolding very rapidly. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-plan

Do-er upper, close to nearby amenities and transport links, would suit someone with an outdoors lifestyle - price slashed to a million quid. *gets gazumped by investors who plan on turning it into a hut of multiple occupancy*

Bit ambitious isn't it? Not the 22,000 capacity venue, i mean. Thinking Morrissey might actually turn up to work that is.

Playing the Birmingham devonshire park theatre is he? Its a tour SO insane, it's playing venues that don't even exist.

Zelda Williams is so right here.

I did not anticipate this happening. Nor, should I expect, do I anticipate going to any of the shows even if it does make it to the UK. Its not because the new drummer isn't yet another old white dude, or that there will likely be a keyboard player on tour. variety.com/2025/music/n...

From pearlmania500 (via @cookiepusher.bsky.social): The Cure doing a DMCA take down of ICE propaganda that used "Friday I'm in love" is making this Monday Just like heaven.

Judging by the fact that yesterday I bought albums by led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Rush *and* a Yes bootleg CD*, it appears i may have a secret liking for Prog. Today, on the other hand, i bought groceries and stamps * I haven't seen the official live album for the tour on CD in decades, mind you.

I feel seen.

I have the perfect social network for me. It is called Microsoft notepad and only I can post on it and see it. Every time I close it everything is deleted.

Who is the audience this article written for? Boris Johnson?

Is this one of those "Tell me you've never heard of discogs without telling me you've never heard of discogs" posts? Because April 1st is a long way away, my friends. *phones solicitors*

You know who doesn't make me feel unsafe? Pensioners saying organised genocide in the name of religious conquest is wrong You know who does? Organised fascists hanging flags on lampposts,mosques being firebombed & MPs being murdered by white supremacists shouting"This is for Britain".Thats who.

Danger UXBoat, anyone? HELL YES!

Roy Kinnear's bit as he gets increasingly drunk and singing and everyone is ignoring him is the best bit. Who am i kidding? All of the film is the best bit!

"Earth Mark 2" said Cloudibartfarst cheerfully. “We’re making a copy from our original blueprints. Did you ever see the columbo-nimbus?" "No" said Arthur. “Pity” said the cloud architect, “there were mine. Won awards, you know. Lovely soft edges. I was most upset to hear of their destruction"

Flag shagging patriotism is everywhere nowadays. Such as Platform 3 of Peterborough railway station. its the Italian flag, but STILL. . .

Arresting peace protestors, or proscribing organisations that think genocide is wrong as terrorists... doesn't mean that their moral argument is incorrect It just means their moral argument is inconvenient - and unpleasant - for the people with the power to enforce the laws they've bought.

What Q is doing when 007 isn't around is about as interesting as a Star Wars novel about what happens when Max Rebo quit Jabba's palace to join a touring music hall venture. ie, of zero bloody interest to pretty much anyone. Its fan fiction made official ; ephemeral and completely pointless.

Or Trump is a lifelong liar and propagandist who doesn't care if he's caught because he knows he won't be punished. Trump is not the admin's main ideologue, but the idea that he's brainwashed instead of flagrantly lying is bizarrely generous. Flagrant lying showcases power. He's always done it.

Thou Shalt Not Declare War On Thine Own Country.

I just passed through Stirchley earlier today (27 bus) and.... I did not notice any flags. Have they been taken down again by local residents? Everytime they get put up by the fash, they get taken down again. quickly. This is Local residents telling the racists one thing - they aren't wanted here
