She is quite literally the culture secretary. Does regulation of platforms like X not fall within her remit? I'm glad she's recognised the threat finally but FTLOG why is the only reaction to belatedly skulk off the platform?

We can just say now that Sir Keir’s leadership campaign was a cruel fraud, and that Labour’s pitch to the public had little to do with their plans for a government scything benefits. Should we assess how exactly this bleak and idiotic fraud over half a decade succeeded? No, we bank it and move on.

Jeremy Corbyn was branded a conspiracy theorist for warning a US trade deal would push up NHS drug costs and put patients at risk. The latest BMJ's study claims the deal Starmer signed will divert £45bn from the NHS and cause 229,000 excess deaths by 2036. Corbyn was right, again.

JOKER: Not so fast, Bat-JERK! My LAUGHBangs will leave you BLIND as a BAT! BLUESKY BATMAN: Oof. Many people suffer from reduced vision. Not funny. JOKER: It's like, it's a pun. It's just wordplay. BLUESKY BATMAN: Sorry if I'm not in the mood for "jokes" while SCOTUS shreds our constitutional rights

Stephen Miller's suit here shows one of the biggest problems with men's tailoring today. 🧵

I got my gf a voucher for a professional pet portrait set at the local max spielman for Xmas and honestly worth every single penny

Austeritehh

I see we’re immediately laundering the lying, bullshit and corruption, rather than letting it lie for a while, until it at least stops twitching.

They’re talking about Trump here, all very “I met a celeb on holiday”. Let’s skip it.

Morgan responds with the kind of bland admin chat about collaborative working environments that will be familiar to anyone who has ever encountered a properly vile office psycho, the type of person whose whole thing is being a massive prick to you without ever saying anything you could raise with HR

You would think “your mom using AI to make it look like you were given a birthday party” is the most pathetic thing you’d ever see but then you remember he runs this account himself

@hkesvani.bsky.social Kafka wouldn't be a poster, but all his protagonists would be grindset LinkedIn posters who liked every post by their boss.

I watched 'in the hand of Dante' at the weekend and it is too long, disjointed and a mess, although I did find some things in it to like. Overall it is a bad movie. However, I fear that Martin Scorsese as an ancient Jewish mystic saying "aura" is peak and will make a fantastic reaction gif.

You do not have to reach for cultural explanations for the lack of AC in Europe. It didn't used to be hot and now it is hot!

East London BS please

My future grandchildren: Who was Keir Starmer? Me:

the "how dare you care about gaza but not sudan" crowd (david lammy) didn't care about sudan either

Listen to @bloodwork.show

Cheesy chips and gravy with an egg on top sounds elite actually

good morning

In early 2024 I saw a student post something like “when he’s only a 6 but he’s on canary mission… 😍🥵” and then I understood the depths of the vibe shift that was underway

Keir Starmer (Labour, 2024-2026)

My lobster too buttery, it's destroying America

Walt is so fucking high on his own farts man

People in our country are desperate for change. More of the same just won't cut it. And from the Inequality crisis to the climate crisis - time is running out.

It really really does

Kier really has got a weirdly piggy little nose

Britain about to get its seventh Prime Minister in ten years. I can’t say I’m surprised. As a people they’re often wonderful of course—very musical, for example, many charming customs, and always joking around in their quirky way—but they just don’t have the temperament for stable self-government.

Finally cleared A8 STS2 with Regent. I know he's supposed to be OP but I find him the hardest character. All working on A9 now. I really like the latest update, new starter relics are good neow's fury is actually good now, Aeon Glass is fun when you topdeck a flak cannon from splash. Game gud

No more England

Listen to @bloodwork.show and @cornerspaeti.operationglad.io

Burnham is going to come to power, say he has no mandate because he was only elected PM by the now tiny Labour membership, use this as a justification to do nothing, and then lose to Reform at the next GE.

big Will Stancil reading hundreds of diverse reasons why people hate Keir Starmer and concluding this must mean he was Good:

Still has to be him letting McSweeney take the fall for brute-forcing through the best pal of Jeffrey Epstein, the child sex trafficker, for US ambassador, going to McSweeney’s leaving drinks to tell everyone how amazing McSweeney is, and then continuing to phone up McSweeney for advice.

As we see the end of the Starmer years, I am reflecting on my favourite things about him. Personally, it was when he told a newspaper that he didn’t dream or have any internal thoughts

Keir Starmer: "I will resign"

Happy Father’s Day to the king of Father’s Day posts

When you've lost the Balls household it's over

What has: One year, two tiers, and zero hoes?

Yes. If you're a bigot who wants to divide communities, a billionaire wanting to preserve your wealth or a "newspaper" that wants to preserve power: we're very sinister indeed. To everyone else: feels a lot like hope. Join.greenparty.org.uk

“Comparison is the thief of joy” that’s a pretty good saying. But I’ve heard better

Nothing anyone can say to me will convince me that vape shops are more of a societal ill than bookmakers or off licenses (liquor stores) so you have to wonder what it is about vape shops that makes a crackdown so essential
