labour don't have a comms problem they have a being utter bastards problem. it didn't have to be this way either. they won with a massive majority. they could have said no to culture wars and started implementing reforms of our massively out of control press. but nope. they decided to be bastards.

he's literally pushing the 'archaic corporate centrist dem' line. he's just rephrased it slightly. he's literally saying 'we should fuck minorities over and focus on making corporations happy'. that's the typical bog-standard 'centrist' position and has been for decades.

lot of straight white cishet ppl cheering on carville bcos they don't hear the dog whistles.

This column is titled “Out With Woke. In With Rage. There’s no reason for Carville to say anything about “woke” except as a signal to other white centrists that it’s ok to move left, but still leave Black people behind just like the New Deal did after the Great Depression.

I am so tired, I kind of feel like I'm being punished for actually be productive at work today.

Anyway: pornographic art and performance is good, people have a right to the vast majority of their kinks, and it is ridiculous that consenting adults are finding those rights strangled by big tech and payment platforms

You know what, I'm just gonna re-up this post

Possibly my reddest of red flags is I would probably watch this movie and almost certainly enjoy it.

A reminder that gas-powered leafblowers are nightmare devices that are bad for you, bad for your lawn, and very bad for the environment. They fume and scream and kill the world all so you can messily and ineffectively move leaves around, leaves which are generally supposed to stay where they fell.

This one really is useful because you won’t see a more clear demonstration of one of the most damaging political phenomena of the era: the reactionary professional mind rejecting unacceptable reality, only able to process and comprehend it via something close to conspiracy theory.

Came across a cooked centrist who called Zack Polanski standing up to Starmer "infighting". Two options here...if he thinks the Greens opposing Labour is infighting he's wrong coz they're two different parties. If he thinks it's the LEFT infighting, well, Labour hasn't been the left for years now.

needs to be said as frequently and as loudly as possible.

eric swalwell said on msnow that a major goal of a dem majority after the midterms would be for ice masks to come off and badges to come out, this is insufficient

Stealing the work of creators ultimately makes you a trash person.

This breaks my heart. I loved Udo Kier. He was the model for the Magistrate in THE KILL SOCIETY. RIP Udo. variety.com/2025/film/ne...

the darvo government 'im abusing immigrants; criticise me you are racist' - mahmood 'im killing trans ppl; criticise me you are homophobic' - streeting 'im murdering disabled ppl; criticise me you are mansplaining' - reeves 'im segregating trans ppl; criticise me you are misogynist' - phillipson

A movie that takes place where you're from.

'think tanks' are just lobbying groups that fabricate evidence to support policy -- almost always conservative and corporate.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand. The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

This is where I post from

Born on this day – Boris Karloff, Actor, November 23, 1887 – February 2, 1969

The numbers shouldn't even matter. The Serious People know that vaccines are good. If you believe otherwise, you are excused from the conversation and responsibility to govern. Go play make believe- we have stuff to do.

The truth burns.

I was a coward and unconvinced I could actually make a living doing what I actually wanted to do, so I took the path of least resistance.

Without downloading new pics, what is it like dating you?

Hey yall not what I wanted to do on my birthday but let it be clear "Death of the artist" is all well & good but you cannot Seperate the art from the artist when the artist is still alive, a terf & every penny they recieve reinforces their beliefs & is used to actively harm Trans folks! Let it Go!

If you've ever been worried about how to talk to your kids about sex, don't worry! Their teddy bear will do it for you!

Making a bogey man out of socialism at a time when we’re all being slowly murdered by a toxic cocktail of fascism and capitalism is…a choice.

They turned it off because every grifting ragebait account was discovered to be LARPing.

the term leftist might be cogent if it wasn't used to mean everyone who is more radical than hakeem jeffries

This is very good. Clear, calm, factual, and devastating for proponents of bans on puberty blockers for trans youth. theconversation.com/puberty-bloc...

this is some DC comics villain shit

Every time I ask a transphobe what 'gender ideology' is, I just get a load of bigoted nonsense that they believe.

Reading about AI being subverted by adversarial poetry and Russian drones' navigation systems jammed by Ukranian folk anthems, which suggests the opening future 'human rebels' scenes of Terminator may now have to be revised.

It's almost amusing how often a man will assume you're not a man because you're being critical of men. "I don't think women's standards are too high, I think men are just predominantly shite." "Try being a single man on dating apps!" "I am in fact a single man and I have been on dating apps." 🦗🦗

Sorry to keep banging on about it but it's literally *they are on Twitter and think it's the majority view*

I was suddenly assailed by a memory of a Choose Your Own Adventure book back in my youth where you were acting as a protagonist human who had never eaten terrestrial food before (having been raised on sustenance in pill form) and if you didn't guess correctly what food you were presented with...

Yanno, it's kind of astonishing how often people who don't know fucking shit will start a statement with "the fact is". Dude, you wouldn't know a fact if it gave you a vigorous handjob with palm full of hundred dollar bills.

Two perfectly normal ads in the perfectly normal city of San Francisco.

The social paralysis of being less concerned with being rejected and infinitely more terrified of having to reject someone else.

MTG has been hated by Democrats ever since the day she entered politics. After just 2 days of being hated by the Republicans, she had to hire private security. This is why they don't speak out against Trump's insanity and go along with it. They're scared of other Republicans.

Brief moment of clarity finding myself wondering if I could function better in other parts of my life if more of my socialization was in person rather than on social media.

Marjorie Taylor Greene managed to tolerate being subjected to the sort of abuse, that she has subjected trans people to for years, for approximately one week.

Unreal

There’s low-key a rebellious vibe to being a dreamer. Like, the world is on fire and you still choose imagination.

Do we want to have to fund mutual aid to pay someone's rent so they're not homeless OR do we want to FUND THIS GIRL'S CAMERA SO SHE CAN GET BACK TO WORK AFTER BEING ROBBED AT GUNPOINT Let's get this funded ASAP folks.

There need to be social consequences for enacting anti-evidence policies that kill kids. One of Danielle Smith’s staffers just called me over (??) at an event wanting to say hi. Once I realized who she was, immediately questioned her about trans rights.

to whom it may concern in the national media: it is perhaps worth further investigation that the answer to “who is in charge of foreign policy” appears to be whoever is currently answering the phone or that we do not, in fact, appear to have any coherent foreign policy
