He looks like his head is going to burst and I would laugh if it did.

General: That barrage damaged it! It's hurt! *cheers from soldiers* *smoke clears* General: PULL OUT!!! PULL OUT!!!

Kier Starmer represents people who accidentally drop racist comments and claim “silent majority”, who hide their views in order to have any friends at all. Atlas Shrugged Thatcherfuckers who would rather vote Reform than help anyone. I wondered why I recognised him, it’s because he’s THAT guy.

You can edit history to swap the soundtrack for any two movies. The Matrix, and Shrek, because The Matrix needed an All Star Montage, and Shrek needed to end with Shrek looking directly into the camera as Wake Up played and we cut to credits.

Daily showers feel like such a privilege these days. I don't trust Jonathan, but, I do trust my nose. I *smell*. But not as bad as this bullshit.

I reject any suggestion that I am involved in the throwing of piss filled water balloons at passerbys. My neighbour, Terry, is throwing piss filled waterballoons at passerbys, from my balcony, which I am allowing him to use, because it grants him a better view of the street. I'm on your side, here!

Sir, a second bird is at the feeder

Pinkwashing News.

Do you see this orphaned baby flying fox who likes to suck on pacifiers? She's fighting for her life. But if we don't make Joanne's new Harry Potter series a humiliating failure and spectacular loss, she'll be so disillusioned with the world that she'll die. Do you want that on your conscience?

Royal Mail bosses have been deliberately missing targets, cutting staff from delivery offices & missing targets to “prove” their Universal Service Obligation no longer works - now our posties are being told to hide post, in order to cover up for failures of management at Royal Mail.

'The MHRA's rigorous trial of the efficacy of condoms - placed on the member post-coitus - concluded that their benefits were overstated. The Secretary of State for Health, Wesley Streeting, heralded the trial as exactly the sort of evidence-led medicine for which he had always advocated.'

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

@nebula.tv Can you dim your background images? I’m struggling to read the video titles with my shitty eyeballs. Thanks boo

I don't understand why the response to billionaires threatening to leave over taxes is deciding not to tax them. Either way, they don't pay taxes, so society has nothing to lose by introducing the tax anyway.

[Christmas feed is entirely Alf posting or Grinch posting] Why is there not a single post here shipping these two? I think they'd be wonderful roommates.

He *was* a racist. He still is one, but, he *was* one, too.

"Gizza job, mate?"

Behind the Princess' Portrait

And I'd trust her with my life.

If we as a country got here through, say, transphobia and racism, then opposition *has* to be opposed to transphobic and racist policies. Otherwise, it’s not opposition to fascism, it’s a competition to see who gets to be in charge while doing it.

I have a Bluesky block finger faster than a gunslinger in Tombstone circa 1888 We put up with shit-talking on Twitter too much. Just shut the fuckers down so we never have to hear from them again. It's the only way to keep this site half-way sane and useable No tolerance for wanks: that's my motto

It's sad when people die etc etc

Zack Polanski happily resharing all the newspaper smears against him that feature anti-semitic caricatures and fear mongering, and essentially saying "lol" is such a power move.

I self-Googled. Got a hit for "Rick Perlstein or Julia Orringer." I was intrigued; we both wrote books called "The Invisible Bridge" Clicking yielded a comment thread without those words, so I Googled us together, and learned...this. I have never met her Our elites are staking our future on AI.

meta ai is out here asking some wild questions

One side effect of Donald Trump’s absolute clown show is that when the next wannabe fascist dictator turns up, people won’t recognise him if he’s not wearing a stupid hat and babbling incoherently while shitting his pants. See also: Gavin Newsom

Calling it: YourParty will tear itself apart refusing to condemn members’ bigotries, expecting victims to be the ones to hold their noses and vote regardless. Class solidarity trumps any other in the minds of bigots who see intersectionality as a distraction and think you should just get in line.

Remember when Angela Rayner was a trans supportive socialist who was appointed a voiceless deputy role in government? I’m not convinced that’s not Zarah’s role in the new party. It has to be the party position, not just her personal one the party can ignore when it’s convenient.

It Follows. I simply wouldn't shag anyone.

I think "not funny" is maybe too reductive: Mean spirited right wing humour inherently promotes and encourages negativity, anger, hostility, and while you can certainly get drunk off of those things, any catharsis that comes from that is short lived and creates an addiction cycle of assholery.

Can someone confirm whether Terry Gene Bollea, average man with average penis, or Hulk Hogan, fictional character with a 10 inch hog, is the one that died? This court transcript argues that they are two distinct people based on penis size, so I’m not sure which anecdote to use in the eulogy.

They are shopping for a new constituency. They don’t want new messengers, they want a different electorate that asks less of them.

Now that Odd Rock has been confirmed as Pauline, I’m taking this as confirmation that modern DK has been sighted in two seperate time periods, confirming a theory that I have…

This is the most beautiful music I’ve ever heard!! 😍

This is devastating, Piglet was a good beast. Everyone give if you can.

The National Child Mortality Database responded to our accusation about their statements to us being misleading. They doubled down and reiterated their analysis for NHS England was "not intended for publication." This is how they are now defending the decision not to publish the data 🧵

The purpose of “reasonable concerns” is that it drives the engagement from well intentioned people who believe they’re being reasonable, granting them a wider platform than “unreasonable bigotry”. This doesn’t just apply to transphobia, but is a tool of fascism to enable the spread of its ideas.

“Transphobia is just misplaced fear” is something I keep seeing being said about the worst anti-trans bigots, and that just affirms for me that most people can’t tell the difference between fear, and disgust. Because it *is* disgust, something much more visceral and harder to reason with than fear.

Them transphobic blokes are also misogynistic? Well stone me dead, I don’t think anyone could have seen that coming.

Fat Thor was hotter than shredded Thor. Tony Stark was a shiny metal bucket of red flags. Sean Connery’s Bond was predatory, not charming. Masculine ideals in pop culture are power fantasties, not romantic ones.

Can everyone report this quickly so Faine does not have to see this?

Interracial marriage did not cross 50% approval in the US until 1996, when I was 30 years old. Good political messaging drives opinion, it doesn't follow it.

“Business” “We want to do business” “This is about business” The entire administration is referring to war and diplomacy in Ukraine, and in Gaza, as “business”. It’s not about security or international stability for them. It’s about business opportunities. Utterly detached from reality.

Looking at how we measure the severity of hearing loss & imagining the same standard being applied to vision: “You’re still able to see three meters in-front of your bonnet, except for the blind spot where your cataract is, so, we don’t consider you to have any loss of vision. Here’s your licence.”

“Oh but that’s not very *unifying* of you to say” That’s because if you do insist on clinging to aesthetic and dunks over basic political strategy during the greatest political crisis any of us have ever known, it’s pointless to attempt to unify with you further. You’ve made yourself irrelevant.
