BBC News: "the government believe refugees are deliberately bringing their children to avoid deportation" As opposed to doing what with their children??

Please consider not voting in the Game Awards

to say a bit more on this: Denmark seizing refugees' belongings was already a grotesque fascist policy and the UK government wanting to do the same is inexcusable

Our Custodian, @sorchadallas.bsky.social has written an obituary for Elspeth King in The Guardian. King transformed how Scotland’s museums told the stories of everyday people—https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/nov/16/elspeth-king-obituary

Actual nazi shit on your morning telly

don't give labour a single vote under any circumstances

They must be proud with this endorsement, they worked hard for it.

New map produced by RTVE, Spanish national TV, of the 6000 mass graves in Spain. In the last 25 years some 17,000 bodies of men, women and children have been exhumed out of the ~120,000 dumped in mass unmarked graves by the Franco regime. www.rtve.es/noticias/fos...

Finished it. Enjoyed it on the whole. I appreciated the ambition and wild swings it took with structure and perspective and so on. Thought it was written pretty well on the whole, especially how phrases take on new meanings in different contexts

Ever have that thing where you vaguely dislike a celebrity, then they turn up in ads repeatedly being extremely annoying, then the later ads they do are for stuff that's kind of... obviously bad? anyway I just got fed a youtube ad of Munya Chawawa rapping about how great Adobe's AI features are

Watched One Battle After Another tonight. Enjoyed it a lot - it's basically a fantasy film where every character is a larger-than-life caricature but that's not criticism. Surprised by how funny it was. The portrayal of fascist violence (vigilante & state) is good too - again, caricatured, but good

finally getting around to playing 1000xResist and I'm not sure I'm getting on with it. we'll see. just finished chapter 2 so I'm withholding judgement

this is the intro cutscene in a game where you make children play soccer

Jess loves to sit on some legs of an afternoon

If Goodwin is considered too much of a racist reactionary to be an activist for the racist, reactionary Reform UK, but not too much of a racist reactionary to be intro'd as anything other than a 'presenter, former professor & author' by BBC QT, then what type of organisation does that make the BBC?

he is going to be directly named on an Epstein list and absolutely nothing at all will happen, you guys know that right. we are not living in the west wing. do you know that

Absolute carnage in the family group chat as my cousin posts a Christmas riddle from her fiancé’s office that no one can figure out, only to find that someone in the office got ChatGPT to make up the riddle and it’s gibberish that doesn’t have a solution

"babies are born worshipping unknown gods" is one of the most incredible dwarf fortress bugs i have heard of. its poetry.

Just want you to know that when I asked Geoff why he gave the silent treatment to an open letter written by his own "future of games" program (& co-signed by 3000+ industry peers), he replied: "Because that's my show and nobody gets to tell me how I should use my platform". 💀💀💀

I see John McDonnell is writing in Tribune about the need to "revive the Labour Left" and because I'm a petty idiot I remember all the people pretending he was a radical and saying "arm John McDonnell!" between 2015-2019 (and after) lol

the linked article in this post is fascinating. I am not Irish but I am a Gael and since it's natural for us to talk of "Gàidhlig na h-Albainn" and "Gàidhlig na h-Èirinn", I do usually find myself saying Irish Gaelic when speaking in English.

An underrated pick for most evil journalist in the UK, although that is a very competitive field.

Tomorrow's Remembrance Day! Looking forward to it, we always make a big bonfire in the garden and burn the Unknown Soldier in effigy. The fireworks are sort of hard to see at 11am though

I gather that the Joined Nov '24 contingent are in crisis today

Just finished The Séance of Blake Manor and it's a nice wee game for the most part (fun and compelling slightly spooky detecting and investigating). It occasionally gets a bit too silly for me (exacerbated by some of the confrontation mechanics) but I found most of the characters interesting

Twin Peaks The Return is about how the scariest thing an American can imagine is a gas station that's closed

The onion is the only outlet telling the truth these days thank you @bencollins.bsky.social

For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

When a retired general said in a TV interview ~4 days after Corbyn became Labour leader that if Corbyn became PM there'd be a military coup Hinsliff et al treated as completely normal. They just absolutely could not concieve it being said about a politician they like/benefits them.

I should not know this much about the mayoral politics of one city in a country I'm not from, and should not need to hear about it for this long.

what is it that makes the fascists of today different from yesterday? who are they? why do they seem to love america so much? the answer is, ANGLOFASCISM. The answer is in Britain and in Austria and in Engelbert Dolfuss. lets learn

Reading these two books currently. However much you hate liberalism (the big thing, inaugurated by the french revolution that does in fact encompass all modern conservatives) you don't hate it enough

This will be a long thread on yesterday police massacre in Rio. In nothern Rio de Janeiro city, there is a couple of hills called Complexo da Penha. It's Comando Vermelho("Red Command", a drug gang), or CV, territory. CV is the greatest gang in Rio, second in the whole Brazil. +

If 104 Israelis were killed every Western leader and media outlet would endorse Israel moving the genocide back up to full speed. They'd denounce it as an attrocity. But when 104 Palestinians are killed Western leaders are silent and media outlets talk about the "ceasefire" being fragile.

Imagine just how much contempt for Palestinian life everyone responsible for this headline appearing on the Guardian website must have.

"Dumb name."

my main memory of Clara Jeffrey, a very highly paid editor of a political magazine, is that she thought the UK had a new electoral system in 2017 because she didn't know the phrase "first past the post" and thought it was "the first past-the-post election". and that she then doubled down on this
