the women accuses platner of sexual assault is a neonazi. yeah, so? that doesn't mean shit to me beyond 'platner has relationships with neonazis bcos those are the circles he travels in'.

maybe the reason 80% of women in this country have been sexually harassed/assaulted is because an alarming number of you think a man wrenching his partners arm behind her back and locking her in a room is just him being a “bad boyfriend”

Hi, it's Mohamed's friend. He writes, "Hello friends, greetings from Gaza. My brothers, I'm busy these days with my book. I'm developing the text and writing down my thoughts during this war. Please help me support my family; I have 13 people to support. Please share this so others can see it."

I don’t want to make an account just to buy something. I don’t want to download an app either. I just want to pay for the thing and leave. I don’t want to join the rewards program. I don’t want to get the inevitable email that my information has been compromised.

I’m glad to see that so many other writers have been running into this exact problem, at least

It’s all kicking off in Richmond-Upon-Thames

This is incredible work

shopping is stored in the balls

among the biggest problems with television today, the lack of economic or logistical pressure to actually make shows is among the greatest. (1/14)

Nice reminder that I am a simple girl who, despite Everything, is into men

Rumours abound in the group chat that season ticket renewals open next week Wednesday and prices are frozen

It’s my mum’s birthday today, luckily I sorted her present 38 years ago

The right in this country have totally lost it, a complete and utter collapse of any kind of cordon sanitaire with the far right in favour of gutter racism. It's been slow, but the grinding move from "anti-white racism is real" from far right agitprop to Times leader is complete.

Congratulations to everyone who said it would get this bad. Your prize is watching everyone who disagreed now claim no one could have predicted it would get this bad.

the one thing these people cannot countenance is being Accurately Described. all of this is happening because the internet provided a means for people to Accurately Describe them to their faces. and they lost their fucking minds

Here in Germany, many people comfort themselves amid fascism by saying "there are more of them than there are of us"; but that doesn't matter, and has never, ever mattered, when the minority is highly motivated and the majority is disaffected, apathetic, or both.

If you suggest police officers shouldn’t kick people in the head, you’ll get the chief of the Met condemning you on national television. If you say the police are institutionally racist against whites and suggest people should riot, you’ll get invited onto a BBC couch to expand upon your theories.

South West Water's criminal offence made hundreds of people sick Shareholders' NET EXTRACTION £5 BILLION from 1990-2023 A £1.85m fine is irrelevant, pocket change Make them put lack of investment on balance sheet as a liability Then PUBLIC OWNERSHIP www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Cannot wait for the AI crash so that I can get some fucking storage space back on my damn phone

Only bollards can deliver this much happiness. #WorldBollardAssociation

the lack of a boycott for this tournament is such a massive moral failure on the part of sporting and ‘journalistic’ institutions

I do genuinely think that so many things treated as “mental health issues” are just people having reasonable responses to bad situations/instability and need money/resources, not CBT to try to convince them this is fine, actually.

One of my favourite studies recently showed that the amount of microplastics shown to be in various things could well have bee overestimated due to every single study having been contaminated by the microplastics found in nitrile gloves used for handling samples so as not to contaminate them

You have to go back to pre Abramovich from a quick Google. It's even worse when there's more than 50% more players at this tournament with more countries and bigger squads 2026: 11 2022: 15 2018: 14 2014: 17 2010: 13 2006:15 2002: 5

Please report this listing that has stolen NSD’s World Cup Wall Chart and is reselling it as their own work! Don’t select the “it uses my intellectual property” one, go for “it violates policies” and then “it’s not handmade” tyvm

Welp there’s no unseeing this

BIG STORM

Romeo Lavia hasn’t played a full 90 minute game in 3 seasons. Tosin is useless at Premier League level, if they want someone with leadership they might as well get fucking Stephen Bartlett in to give them a talk about not drinking red wine.

Boss has confirmed my leave for Sports Day but is ignoring the two days for my mate’s wedding that I booked off with 6 weeks to go because he’d said that nobody was allowed to book off that week

Ok I like the collar, badge needs the CFC somewhere but is acceptable, it’s a riff on the 1970 FA Cup shirt so it’s fine, except for the absolutely honking CWC badge making it an embarrassment

It is the second of June and there has not been a peep from BlueCo about season ticket renewals, very good sporting and promotional business!

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

This is good but the main thing is: these guys don't want to make art -- they want to *have made art.* They want people to look at the art they can't bother making and praise and respect them for it. Because generally they feel they deserve the world's respect without doing anything to earn it.

A reminder that the victims of Unbound's theft are still suffering while the people on charge, who spent their money, have got away scot free.

You know what we don't talk enough about? Queen & Annie Lennox/David Bowie rehearsing 'Under Pressure' in 1992. So much going on! Everyone's clothes, Bowie with a lit cig throughout, where Annie PROPER GOES FOR IT, George Michael singing along in the background. The amazing vocals. Yes, please!

The Thomas theme tune was a question at the quiz the other day, which made me confess that I used to tell Large that there were weekend engineering works in Thomas land that often overran into Monday lunchtime. Team were concerned, until I recited the whole theme tune unprompted

Thomas the Tank Engine is better than PAW Patrol.

I know it doesn't really suit my whole thing that I love football so much but I don't expect you to understand. Because you were never 11 years old at your cousin's bat mitzvah with your entire extended family and all their friends watching England win a penalty shootout against Spain.

I am being so good and it’s nothing to do with this website refusing to upload a video from 14 years ago or anything

Been in a shitty mood cos it’s too hot and I hate my job etc etc, then boss says “before you go, can you you get one of the boys to smash up that broken bench and put it in a garden waste bag?” Absolutely the fuck not my good sir, I will do it myself
