I want to read a whole book’s worth of this, or see the doc or watch the movie

People who adore the LLM-machine, that by design has no concern for truth, must have no concern for truth

Pan definitely seems to be having a bit of a moment, this evening Youtube suggested this lecture by Ronald Hutton about the rise of the Horned God www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeOu...

Indeed. This is what capitalism is designed to do The idea end point, which we are heading towards, is that everyone works for a pittance to make a tiny elite staggeringly rich www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It's JUST politics Until ppl you know are getting their doors kicked in and/or kidnapped by ICE, citizen or not, criminal or not It's JUST politics Until folks was taking food to their grandparents because SNAP was delayed and they was telling them they're about to lose their healthcare too

I’d have thought nothing cuts more against our precious British values than selling out your country for Russian bribes… And yet Reform, the right‑wing press, and all those self‑styled guardians of these values have nothing to say …funny that.

Protesting against far right groups is not "antisocial behaviour" and using these powers to gather intelligence because this is 'convenient' is yet another example of the utter lack of accountability of public order policing

The BBC here, reprinting a police press release. In reality, police officers unlawfully threatened antifascists with demands for personal details using powers under Exeter's Public Space Protection Order introduced to crack down on street drinking and "aggressive begging" www.bbc.com/news/article...

Politicians have dug this hole. They have caused this problem.

"I'm Jerry Bladerunner, and I run the blades."

LOL

After reading this, I can't help but come to the conclusion that Boris Johnson needs to go to jail. For a very long time. observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

A fear I've long had for food banks. What happens when demand exceeds supply? "Demand is up, food prices are up, donations are down, and funding is volatile" www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Things move quickly in politics. The idea of a Sunday broadsheet dedicating it's entire front page to @greenparty.org.uk is huge, and let's be honest, a sign of changing times. People are sitting up and noticing @zackpolanski.bsky.social join.greenparty.org.uk

"While the virtues of “Gang Related” may have been less apparent when it got lost in the shuffle of 1990s genre films, now that those kinds of movies are theatrically released with far less frequency, it’s hard to see how its greatness could ever have been ignored." @cine-matographe.bsky.social

“The haters on the Internet are the loudest, he says. “A lot of the people complaining last year were from the creative industry who were just afraid — afraid for their jobs, afraid for what it did.” Imagine being such a wealthy piece of shit that you call people who need work “haters”

Yes, it should be. Call this behavior out and don’t support it. I was all in on this one until I learned this and now I won’t buy it.

SISU: ROAD TO REVENGE is everything I want in a sequel, just doubling down on everything that made the first one work. Support insane genre movies like this in a theater, if you can. I’m crossing my fingers for a couple more of these.

We often measure success in what we do by sales figures, but I had numerous people approach me at the VS popup yesterday that just thanked me for introducing them to a new favorite film and that means more to me than any other metric. That’s the whole point of this. For me, anyway.

Following on from his “Politicians must stick to their word” Starmer states he has restored respect to politics 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 His interview* with ITV is full of such classics (couldn’t get the link to work) *Do not view if you have high blood pressure or a short fuse

This raises the worrying prospect that overwhelming media power in Britain could be concentrated in the hands of a tiny number of very wealthy, extremely nasty and very right wing crackpots who will use it for malignant ends

I saw somebody comment earlier that Vance will be a less dangerous President and I don't agree. Trump is dangerous because he is erratic and unpredictable in his actions and reactions. Vance is an ideologue and actually believes some of the things he says. That is truly dangerous.

"My NHS colleagues & I weren’t willing to let the bodies pile high in their thousands. Boris no longer mentions them at all." My piece on the responses to the UK Covid-UK Inquiry report that try to airbrush the dead away. Sincere thanks, @theobserveruk.bsky.social. observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Dominic Cummings swearing at the BBC questioning him about covid while loading up a brand new Toyota Land Cruiser (£80k+) nice

This report does not quote any trans children, or parents of trans children, or any trans people at all. It does quote Keira Bell saying it’s “disgusting”, though. New puberty blockers trial to begin after UK ban www.bbc.com/news/article...

I don’t think she actually speaks to Black or Asian people to know that no-one thinks that racist asylum policies will protect us - quite the contrary - but that’s not the point she’s calculatedly using the language of discussing racism to justify racism and that is utterly vile

Harriet Harman is fucking disgusting for this.

“Bringing business along with us”, a story in 2 acts:

Response to racist violence is to give racists what Labour think they want when in fact what they want is to not see Black and Asian people in their field of vision.

Racism is not justified by immigration levels or rising poverty, unemployment or crime. It is not justified, period. I see the rising wave of voices & arguments justifying the rising levels of racism as the most sinister political development in 2025 on the British landscape.

She must be so disappointed because what use is Sebastian to society. Can’t even get himself a Tory safe seat after all that tap dancing

If only there were some clue from his subsequent political career

The British aristocracy being put in positions of power when they clearly are incompetent has killed millions over centuries. And sadly it continues

The exceptionalism, the arrogance, in that core 4-6 week period was unreal. Rest in peace to all our colleagues, our friends, who died during that period. I will never forget you.

We can't underestimate how incompetent these people were, at such a crucial time ⬇️

I am really losing patience with Americans who treat their elected officials like celebrities they have to defend, instead of representatives they have to hold responsible. Grow the fuck up. Millions of lives are at stake.

“If you go back a million minutes, you reach 2023. Go back a billion minutes, you reach the Roman Empire — that’s the scale of inequality we’re living with.” Zack Polanski on #BBCLauraK discussing inequality and why a wealth tax should be in the budget

imagine being this big of a fuckin loser

Clues he was like this, there were sadly none.

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

Hold up a sign protesting genocide or inaction towards climate change and you get banged up. Yet corruption and theft from the public purse when tens of thousands die during a pandemic and you get what? Some 'patriots' really are above the law.

Boris Johnson didn't apologise to Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, even when she told him in person the lasting impact his comments about her had on her detention in Iran, her husband tells the BBC

NEW: If you have *any* interest in the Nathan Gill story, you need to look at this. We’ve put all the dates into a timeline & it’s incredibly revealing. 1/ www.thenerve.news/p/nathan-gil...

I mean it's not complicated. Twenty people who were there have confirmed that Nigel Farage said all of these things. He's the only one denying it, which means just one thing. He is a liar www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

OOOOOOOOOO Labour is planning to FREEZE rail fares for the FIRST TIME IN THIRTY YEARS! Fantastic, now I can continue paying what I've paid all year for trains that are frequently delayed, cancelled and so packed I get a backpack in the face.
