Migrants already carry out work for their communities, it’s called ‘having a fucking job’ and it’s mandatory because we aren’t eligible for benefits

A handy bluffer's guide for anyone who *doesn't* know most of the names on that list -- you can just say "oh yes, the one with the sex scandal" about any you don't recognise, and you'll be right.

Sakher shouldn't be going through this.

"I would argue that Farage has painted himself as a man of the people, but actually I think he's a man of the wealthy people." good stuff from @zackpolanski.bsky.social

I mean if Starmer thinks £20k is nothing, it means he knows full well that taxing people who have to live on just over 12k at 20% is straightforwardly FUCKING EVIL.

This might be the most concentrated centrist campaign in history. "Farage is racist" out of one side of his mouth while saying "Farage is right" out of the other. A worm ideology for worm people.

Looking at the people who have got around to shooting the rich and powerful... Seems like the rulers did a really good job of oppressing and distracting the working class into not rising up but they never counted on middle class boys feeling the pinch and going Johnny Mnemonic on them.

The whole idea is so transparently batty. It's like "Well, you're going to play chess against Kasparov tomorrow, Sir Keir. What are your tactics?" "I think my main one is going to be to just hand him all my pieces at the start of the game & let him decide what to do next."

Even the truly awful Limp Bizkit acknowledged that there were more than two genders 25 years ago

Everyone: What's government doing about the cost of living crisis, the climate crisis, and the unfolding genocide in Gaza? Labour: "We will mandate people carry Brit cards". This government's priorities are painfully out of touch and increasingly authoritarian.

Trying to explain about Peter Thiel and Palantir to my parents whilst we're talking about ID cards and realising that I sound completely insane, but it's all true, it's all public: it's just never on the news.

To kind hearts 🫶 This week, my family needs £400 for food and basic living expenses.😓 Every pound you give becomes a shield of protection around my children — helping them sleep with full stomachs and peaceful hearts.💚 ✨ Please donate or share — your kindness today can change their tomorrow.

This is the way! Dana gets it. If Jimmy Kimmel had Karen Attiah guest appear on his show tonight, that would be so powerful. Look at how Julia Roberts and Andrew Garfield make space for Ayo Edibiri in this interaction. ♥️👍🏿

A stopped clock may be right twice a day, but you damn well better check it against a working clock.

1/ A quick note on this framing 👇 When people say “gender critical” vs “trans activist” it might sound balanced – but the language itself is doing heavy lifting, and not in a neutral way. 🧵

BBC Fox News strikes again! #DefundBBCNews

"don't even take my word for it, as a politician, listen to British doctors, British scientists" says Wes Streeting about paracetamol. Never heard him say that once about trans healthcare.

Border violence has only gone in one direction since 1905 - being violent to more and more people. As this escalating posturing continues across all major parties, no British citizen will be safe. Until one of them stands up and challenges it.

Some reckon “normal” isn’t working rn coz of the blooming fash sticking a spanner in the works but Labour has a big giant majority. We’re living in “normal” and people can’t afford to pay rent while the rich get even richer. It’s uncomfortable to admit it but there’s no going back to normal.

we owe an apology to all the Just Read Theory bros

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

This is all extremely weird; it is both appropriate and necessary for people to say so. Charlie Kirk was a sleazy podcaster who constantly said repugnant things—that's all he contributed to society—but they're treating him like the Virgin Mary, MLK, Audie Murphy, and Superman all rolled into one.

GWAR crossed a major line at riot fest

Casual sex implies the existence of ranked, competitive sex.

Feeling uncomfortable about something is not a morally superior stance. Disgust is not an inherently correct reaction to something, nor does it prove something's sinfulness. You can't consume your way into moral purity.

Jay Chester, 28, who strives to ensure that everyone is always happy with them at all times, reportedly failed to factor in that people have conflicting needs and desires.

Less than 24 hours ago the @nionwomen.bsky.social petition of women in support of the trans community had just hit 50,000. Now it has passed 52,000. Please sign and share if you have not already. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

Bloody hell, Lib Dems growing a spine? The Polanski Effect is real.

This does not look like “impartiality”. It looks like propaganda. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/how...

I try not to engage with BlueSky discourse, but it's worth pointing out that pundits wringing their hands about this site are operating counterfactually. I didn't leave X to go into a fun little bubble or echo chamber. I left X bc it was becoming completely unusable for the thing I used it for (1/3)

> "wE gAtHeR iN sEcReT." > proceeds to tell the newspaper all about it. 💀

Dang, that's crazy. Anyway, we moved our annual refugee resettlement fundraiser to Bluesky this spring, after running it entirely on Twitter for over a decade, started with ZERO followers, took our "shrunken" audiences and beat last year's total by $200,000 in a time of massive economic upheaval

Again I get this but if you come to areas like mine that’s exactly what it is being used for, that’s what it means right now, and no amount of waving it with good vibes is going to change that

It isn't your fault And you're not going mad You're not meant to be happy When times are so sad

Belal shouldn't be going through this.

Oh you just heard of this guy and want to know why there's a low-key quasi state funeral on national television, well here's 11 things I wish had never come into my brain

Sakher shouldn't be going through this.

Nabil shouldn't be going through this.

I think Miller finishes his part and then hands the phone over to Trump saying "I've taken the liberty of engaging the capslock for you, sir"

Coffee shops are the heart of darkness for republicans. All their horror stories take place inside them. They have taken the place of the forest in middle American gothic.

Goggles, helmets, something around your neck too. You can create makeshift armor for "less lethal" out of cardboard under your clothes or just wear a lot of layers. Don't forget to bring LOTS of clean water. Don't put ANYTHING in your eyes other than clean water, seriously!

There are some very brave ones standing up to the over equipped gang of bastards they call ICE, over in Chicago rn. Give em hell but please get home ok 🙏🏼

It was very telling that for three days, none of the major TV anchors would have me on air one-on-one to talk about my firing from the Washington Post over Charlie Kirk. The first offers were from Black media, independent media, Substackers, and podcasters.

"What do you expect Democrats to do!?!???'

The adult content rules changing are exhausting. These last few months have just been such a barrage. I know that I'm always going to try and find a way to keep creating what I love, but I know other creators who have seen the state of things and just gone 'why bother' and I don't blame them.
