"the autism problem" "the migration problem" "the trans problem" Never the fucking "rich white guy problem"

It's a genre unto itself: finding old Charlie Kirk quotes and showing how they justify pissing on his grave. Good. Now focus on the living people who are taking up his repulsive legacy. freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2...

If Farage wins the next election, it will be down to one person. His name is Keir Starmer. This thread explains why. 1. Destroying faith in democracy. The UK decisively voted out the Tories, only for Starmer to give us a Continuity Tory government, shamefully beholden to economic power. 🧵

Wait Corbyn only got one despite being leader of the opposition for 5 years?! The state of THIS:

Reform and the Tories are about to absolutely shit a brick.

It's that time of year again folks! This was originally filmed in 2018, but I still get asked EVERY year what the Irish Version of Turkey day is.

It helps to call things as they are things as they are 👇

Scott Galloway explains the real legacy of Elon Musk in two minutes of a honest take on the media for once.

“The way to beat Farage is not to thieve his lines about migration: it lies in pointing out that a party of nostalgists and chancers has nothing to say about any realistic version of our future” Starmer did the opposite.

Shameful bullish. What's done incalculable damage is a decade of pernicious falsehoods about immigration, while people who should know better refuse to counter the lies of the increasingly normalised far right. Let's tackle those lies:

Brexit promised to “take back control of our borders” But it also created huge labour shortages So, govt issued huge numbers of visas to fill the gaps. It ended reciprocal asylum arrangements with the EU So, crossings went up. Govt response? “Take back control of our borders” Such a ruinous deceit.

If they're not at 4 Seasons Total Landscaping, someone missed a trick.

The US and Canada mapped at equivalent European latitudes. (via Amazing Maps)

An important reminder. Don’t vote for grifters.

I'm not suggesting the alternatives are any better, but look at what Starmer has become compared to what he promised. The little quisling cunt.

Group chats with 70k men sharing tips on how to rape women, 1% rape conviction rates, sex offending coppers and a president found liable of SA are the real threats to women. A tiny minority just trying to live their lives, are not. Don’t fall for a far right con job. youtu.be/oojg7g_hn-Q?...

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic www.crabmuseum.org/visit 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

Why can't I enjoy Baldur's Gate 3? Every time I play it I feel like there's a really fun game in there but I'm somehow doing it wrong.

Brexit thread (from 2020) UK: We don't like our trade deal EU: Why not? UK: We only get 95% of what we want EU: It only gives us 95% too. That's how negotiating goes UK: We want a new deal that gives us everything we can think of EU: But you signed a deal UK: We don't care, we hate you 1/21

A group of the biggest retailers in the UK is warning job losses 'inevitable' due to the recent NI changes. 2024 profit: Tesco: £2.9bn Amazon: $49.86bn Greggs: £71.4m Next: £1bn Yup, 'inevitable'. (original news story: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...)

This is Lily. She's been accused of drinking her mom's slushie. Will not be taking any questions at this time. 14/10

Ah this is nice isn't it? I've been here for a couple of days now, mostly just lurking, but no one's told me to kill myself, no one's told me to "cry moar", I've not had 75 surprisingly friendly women asking me to go to their website, and I've not called anyone a c***. Feels a bit odd, tbh!

I have left The Other Place! It's going to get even worse over the next 4 years, and I've no stomach for it. I'm going to try to stay away from politics and conspiracy nutjobs, and generally have a much nicer time here :-)

Let's see if it's nicer here than the other place. I will try to be a bit nicer too - see how long that lasts (until I run into an anti-vaxx Tory probably).
