@zackpolanski.bsky.social just joined the party as I love what you all are doing and stand for! Why does your introductory email have a Twitter (currently x) link, but no Bluesky though?

The Mona Lisa of shithousery

So far this article is aging like the fine wines Trump is about to make significantly more expensive.

A classic. 2 years old and has aged perfectly.

This is good. Reminds me of my favorite alignment chart, from here: www.reddit.com/r/AlignmentC...

Greens at net zero is nice

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

Margaret Thatcher and Indira Gandhi have entered the chat.

And wouldn't have happened without backbencher pressure - always good for them to remember that they do hold power and the government is reliant on them, not the other way round. A healthy parliament is not a rubber stamping chamber.

Setu Kamal is a tax barrister who makes £1m+ a year facilitating abusive tax avoidance schemes. We reported on one dodgy scheme he backs. His response is amazing… He doesn't just want me to take our report down. He's demanding I say he's the UK's leading tax barrister:

This piece is bonkers and you should read it. It's by @bryce.lol obv

Will the detective investigating your murder be sad?

America got rid of kings only to replace them with elected monarchs. That's a big problem for them, and another is that they turned their constitution into an immutable faith. Place chaotic actors into that mix and you're fucked. What was good for 1776 isn't necessarily going to function in 2025

whoever is doing this poster campaign in London well bloody done 🙌

If young Bruce Wayne was scared of Peacocks instead of bats he would have been way more FABULOUS

Challenge accepted! 🎤I am the very model of a modern crashed economy I've underperformed vegetables like lettuces and broccoli I know the cheese of England, and I want a Keir apology From pork markets to pensions too, my life is tragicomedy

When known sexual predators go after trans people, there are two potential reactions One is to lie to yourself and believe the predators weren't so bad after all The other is to wonder whether the attacks on trans people aren't really about protecting women

This blows me away. @stephaniekelton.bsky.social asked the hottest AI, Deepseek, to model the impact on the Canadian economy of a U.S. Tariff for 25%. The Impact of 25% Tariffs on Canadian GDP open.substack.com/pub/stephani...

right! I've done it! I've written about the woman who shagged a hundred guys in a day for OnlyFans, and why it made me think about class war: youngvulgarian.substack.com/p/dont-cross... (free to read!)

Interesting analysis by David Allen Green of the Prince Harry settlement. Its importance lies in Murdoch admission of illegality at the Sun. www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th...

This is a wild top ten. Wonder if Rotary International should go after France’s place on the UN Security Council.

I must say that ByteDance is an excellent name for a tech company. Google, Facebook, and Twitter made their attempt at more encompassing name changes much too late in life, when the joie de vivre had evaporated, which resulted in pure pabulum: Alphabet, Meta, and X.

Me: Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light! Stylist: Sooo covering up the white hairs. Me: Yep. The dyeing of the white. Stylist: Sigh

Oooh, look at Sainsbury’s, with their fancy new Latin motto like they’re bleedin hogwarts Grow up

What? This just sent to us by a fan. Does anyone know what’s happened to the very cool (too cool for us) and independent Elephant and Castle pub in E&C?

Some Friday positivity from Andre The Giant

when you go to block all their followers and see they have none

Strange that Elon Musk doesn't mention the Royal Family. Queen Elizabeth did lots of things but the most disgraceful was paying £12m of our money so that Prince Andrew wouldn't be found guilty of peadophilia in court.

The Media won't acknowledge this video of the farmers blocking an ambulance with its blue lights on so could you could RT it so people see it?

I got the Luigi Mangione manifesto. The real one, not the forgery circulating online. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/luigis-man...

LEADER OF THE YEAR™ My SKETCH of the award-winning Leader of the Opposition. thecritic.co.uk/lead...

I hadn't seen this before but it's very good... "Why do some British people not like Donald Trump." [Let's try a non-Facebook link this time] medium.com/typewriting/...

Did you know? Black Friday is named in honor of Rebecca Black, who invented Friday in 2011.

jana: [shouting over music] i don’t even know half these people

I'd like to think that if I were a farmer I'd be cursing the Tory government that should have known so much better than to enact a distorting carve-out that inflated the land price bubble that was only ever going to end badly for farming. (No idea how much attention it got at the time...)

I really do not understand economics 🤷‍♂️

This is really getting quite remarkable • BlueSky user numbers have doubled in the past week and now total 3.5 million across US & UK 🚀 • Number of people deleting their X/Twitter account remains way up And the next chart is particularly notable...

Jeremy Clarkson is turning up to the protest tomorrow. A reminder that he bought his 312-acre farm in 2012 for £4.25million in HIS OWN WORDS so that he: *would not be required pay death duties on the land*

Sure, sure but this is the ultimate sandwich read and brooks no rivals. www.theguardian.com/news/2017/no...

Since it seems like these classics from the bad place are re-circulating here, I humbly present my most (only?) viral post to date: types of political theory paper…

7500 light-years away from us

i am absolutely DYING at this 🤣 "elderly man who lives nearby" - AKA thomas peterffy, the 26th richest man in the world, who lives a few doors down from trump too good 🤌😂

Urgh fine, here's a handy field guide to common types of #humanitarian policy paper (recycled from the other place from a few years back; sadly, it still holds up).

From mid-November, the International Space Station will make some incredibly bright passes over the United Kingdom. Look towards the direction shown around the time given for a bright star-like object travelling across the sky towards the South, then East. Clear skies! #astronomy #stargazing

So I actually am finding myself addicted to BlueSky like I was to old Twitter. Gonna need to keep it in check! I hadn’t really realised how much less Twitter was holding my attention than before, since it happened slowly over a couple of years. This place is fun, lads, thanks for being here 😄
