There's an alternative timeline where Musk vs Zuckerberg took place and they both bitch slapped each other into oblivion and no longer exist to bother us anymore.

Wigan IS in (Greater) Manchester @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Yeah if you're only counting scandals where there's personal enrichment (Ecclestone and Cash for Peerages for instance both involved payments to the parties and were significantly bigger in size)

I've been playing Pragmata for a few hours and I'd already die for Diana

I think Andy Burnham being allowed to pursue things he cares about and deliver them in Greater Manchester says something about the lack of visibility of this sort of work that politicians do. Politician has become a dirty word, and it shouldn't tarnish everyone because of scumbags like Farage.

very unpleasant to see this many people voting Reform, knew it was coming but still unpleasant to witness

siren of the chasm #mermay

Devastated two Manc councils are Reform. I want to be sick. It's not a fucking protest when they're openly racist, taking bribes, in the pockets of Russians and Crypto billionaires. It's turkeys voting for fucking Christmas.

The same people who think abortion is murder are willfully contributing to both potential and actual serious harm or even death of THEIR OWN children by refusing not just vaccines but basic medical advice.

The single most defining thing Elon Musk has ever done is killing untold numbers of people by having DOGE illegally raid and disband USAID. Not rickets, not cars, not even the CSAMbot on X. It’s this, and so many media pundits just choose to unsee it.

@sturdyalex.bsky.social SO EXCITED FOR SISYPHUS THE DODGER OF DEATH!! @alexpodyssey.bsky.social

Today in Brexit Britain you are being asked to believe that a Thailand-based cryptocurrency tycoon secretly gave Nigel Farage - the person, not his party - five million pounds without any hope or expectation of getting anything in return.

The American regime has alienated us from the Pope. Let that sink in.

The battle against Trump is a battle against genocide iandunt.substack.com/p/the-battle...

Why are we still sending the King to meet a man who insisted just yesterday he would wage genocide on an entire civilisation?

I'm not sure how you can be against removing this man from office right now. What will it take? A nuke being dropped? It's too late then. The purpose of impeachment and the 25th Amendment is to prevent that type of thing from happening, not just to react to it.

Israel's ethnic cleansing on south Lebanon will continue in spite of any ceasefire. They started all this with their bombing of Iran that the US hopped onto and now they've no intention of stopping. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c5...

"From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, 'Look at that, you son of a bitch.'" ― Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 astronaut.

BBC News - Kanye West blocked from travelling to UK, government tells BBC www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Good. Now block the likes of Elon Musk for encouragement of violence

It's Beatrix month! 🌹 #FinalFantasyIX

Oh.

Orwellian much

What a coincidence. This was published yesterday #PMQs @mrjamesob.bsky.social

8 am update for you. The UK grid is currently close to fossil fuel free. Wind and solar 70%, nuclear 13%, gas… 4%. grid.iamkate.com

What is accomplished by forcing people to wait 10 years for residency? Nothing. How does that improve integration, or public services, or the economy? It doesn't. How does it even pretend to treat people with dignity? It can't. How will it improve Labour's election prospects? It won't.

Kemi accusing Keir of trying to bury something by a) releasing the files regarding the appointment of Peter Mandelson, and b) apologising for it is just.... Painful. She's trying to deflect from her own catastrophic faux Pas on Iran.

@iandunt.bsky.social in a non sadistic way I really enjoyed listening to you struggle through your latest substack article 🤣

Looks like men and boys are experiencing the same pressure as women did in the girl mag era... And still do of course, but it's jarring and concerning. BBC News - Sculpting jaws, giving scores: Inside the world of looksmaxxing www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This almost broke my brain. Wdym you refuse to read third person?? I feel like all books I read are in this POV. Are people that self centred? Is it just the smut readers??

Was this one of the reasons they got involved? Honestly anything is possible with this absolute prick

So US citizens who voted for Trump cause eggs were expensive... How do you like those rising gas prices thanks to your peace loving president?

“Nobody wants to see an escalation” says Kemi Badenoch, who seems to be constantly agitating for an escalation, putting political points above the lives of British service personnel #PMQs #PoliticsLive

It's difficult to believe Kemi Badenoch is in her mid 40s. She has a real stroppy 17 year old's "Don't tell me what time I need to be home, you're not my real dad" vibe about her. #PMQs

Badenoch: I would cut spending on welfare to bomb Iran #pmqs Is there a medicine available to treat this?

Badenoch was disgraceful at #PMQs today. People are terrified about the war in the Middle East. What was needed was a mature respectful exchange. It shouldn’t have been an opportunity for her to try and score cheap points about the welfare state whilst baying for escalation no one wants.

There is always a tweet.

Why the fuck is Laura Kuenssberg asking the bloated scarecrow any questions....

Hearing @mrjamesob.bsky.social is playing Ghost of Yotēi is like finding out a mate is onto the same thing you're obsessed with! I played Tsushima during the pandemic lockdown and it was transformative to my wellbeing.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Mid-listen to yesterday's mystery hour but the book you were seeking was called "The Bees", following Flora, a honeybee in a hive. As an aside, The History of Bees by Maja Lunde is also a good read. The Bees By Laline Paull | World of Books share.google/aZBfcizby5Dn...

That's not an apology mate

i'm baffled by all the people in the replies to posts about the spy doorbells asking for alternatives. like... the alternative is a regualr fucking doorbell with no camera in it. or a door knocker. get you a weird gargoyle guy! you dont need a camera!

@alexpodyssey.bsky.social not me sobbing at the bonus episode on pets - with my 1mo son sleeping on my chest. Sending them to the afterlife with a dog to lead the way through Hades 😭😭😭😭 a comfort indeed.

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes." After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

NEW: NEW: Standards commissioner finds Nigel Farage committed seventeen breaches of MPs code of conduct. He failed to declare £333,000 in outside interests (more than 3x MPs annual salary)…
