i remember the aldi on shuttle street being a morisons, and i remember the aldi on shuttle street being a summerfields, and i remember the aldi on shuttle street being a factory. and i hate that i do. i want to see an aldi and have no fucking idea what it was 2 years ago. if it wasn't an aldi.

When you think of it, leftist theory is sus and harmful bullshit which never should have been invented and any proper dirtbag leftist movement should seek to abolish it.

I usually try to explain it like this: picture Kash Patel as Pete Buttigieg. Now imagine they're Californian. Doesn't look so much like the Dust Bowl was caused by gammons doing mukbangs now, does it?

Re. the "Greens are not green" bullshit. Always worth a look behind the surface on anti-development / NIMBY complaints from right wingers like Labour members against environmentalists. There's almost always a very valid reason for the challenge.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Where's the £280 million a year that Coates lives off coming from? It's ultimately coming from desperate, damaged people. Telling that she has a CBE.

"The gambling industry brings positive benefits"?!?!?! Is Nandy insane? Apart from the ruined lives, of which there are far too many, the industry funnels money out of the country to Gibraltar, Cayman Islands and more.

It'd be funny if this time the "sophisticated DDOS" turns out to be like, someone slopped up some code that only works if you are getting 100 views a day, anything beyond that naturally being a sophisticated distributed denial of service attack. I once took down the DPRK website by linking it.

This is featuring the massive new 2024 intake of MPs that lobby journalists were gushing about the talent of a few months ago. For such a talented bunch they sure are good at hiding it behind a wall of silence and obedient conformity.

Back in 2024 I pondered whether it would be falling below 20% polling that would have Labour finally enter crisis mode and start actually changing their plans (for better or worse). They've been below that mark for six months and might as well be a zombie party at this point. No signs of life.

Remember those stories about how Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson supposedly turned against Trump, and then they show up in the White House kissing Trump's ass?

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

Shitlibs who think transphobia is funny are cunts, actually. 🩷

“I enjoy watching the TV show The Pitt” - this is what all you The Pitt fans sound like 🙄

for all that I hate LLMs I think it's extremely funny they keep trying to make one anti-woke and it just doesn't fucking work bc facts are soy and gay

baffled by this idea that we've had 14 years of prime ministers screwing up and having to resign, and that's exactly why we should have a prime minister **not** resign, having screwed up.

Anti-migrant streamers and 'auditors' who generate millions of views on Youtube, while posing as ‘citizen journalists’, have a record of abusive behaviour towards women and sexual offences, a Byline Times investigation reveals bylinetimes.com/2026/04/17/t...

Keir Starmer told us he would be the Prime Minister who restored trust in politics, not the one to leave ministerial ethics in tatters. No more buck passing and scapegoating, If the Prime Minister has any integrity at all, he must go.

ableism in design is the gateway drug of enshitification. if you haven't done everything in your power to make sure that the user's accessibility needs aren't the difference between your thing working, and not working, you have cut your first corner, and you have made something that is shit.

He's lost the FT

i've never seen the film this is from and don't even know the name. i know that all these photos are from the same film though. it's a bit of an "i've never seen star wars", but i don't even know what a star war is. sometimes i feel really left out

look, beth, i ate these cakes thinking they were just nice cakes, so you can imagine how ruddy furious i am now, to discover that in fact they contained ingredients that are a class B controlled substance, given that i ate 10 of them.

I make this point in tomorrow’s paper: ultimately the vetting process should not override “the sitting PM wants to make an obviously disastrous choice”. That’s not what process should be for!

next week more info comes out, story changes again and prime minister has escalated to "outright bloody well livid, actually" that he has been made to look a right turnip again and sacks larry.

Labour: *passes legislation increasing MPs’ pay because it’s really, really hard you see* Labour stenographers this week: actually nobody in government has any responsibility for anything and nobody knows anything

If you step back, it is truly extraordinary that so many people went to such great lengths and broke so many conventions and risked their political careers and the only outcome of all these efforts and risks was appointing a washed-up old spinner to an ambassadorial post

when these messages come out it's going to be starmer on face time saying "look we need to give mandleson this job i owe him a favour because he literally helped me burry an actual body" and darren jones will be doing the rounds saying "as i understand, it was dark, it was a late night".

Belgium just seized 2 British military shipments bound for Israel. At Liège Airport. 33 crates. Military components including lasers, sights, fire control systems, aircraft parts. The cargo arrived by truck from the UK. It was supposed to fly to Tel Aviv. Be like Belgium #stopthewar #Lebanon #gaza

I fucking resent the idea that my life, as a disabled person, is considered a "cost", yet this bullshit is an "investment".

Four years ago

How many more people are going to have to resign for Keir Starmer's decision to ignore the advice of every single person who told him not to appoint Peter Mandelson?

Why is it, when it was Starmer who made the decision to appoint Mandelson, that everyone else is having to resign?

the mandalorian and baby yoda predictions - baby yoda says his first words, and they are "the way, this is". either everybody loves it and i hate it, or everybody hates it and i love it. i don't know how i will feel until it happens.

completely tone deaf to tell a country full of people who are already struggling, and scared that it's going to get a lot worse thanks to trump and netanyahu's war mongering, that actually we need money for more guns and bombs. and somehow there's just enough money for an advertising campaign.

#C4News last night reported on the wholesale targeting of ambulances & paramedics in Lebanon by Israel, including the recent 'triple hit', when Israel attacked an ambulance, then attacked paramedics who went to help, and then attacked further paramedics also trying to help.

a lot of people today are finally learning about all the fantastic error codes beyond the classics like "401" and "404".

trying to post through it rn

Tom Waits x Massive Attack just released a brand new single

Pretty bad that BBC news at 10 went to the Tories and Reform for comment on the Mandelson story but not Lib Dems, Greens or SNP. Either get comment from the official opposition or a spread of parties.

Bluesky is playing the classics tonight!

just like every scandal over the last 14 years, these "mistakes" the govt keeps making could conceivably be honest mistakes, sure, but it's very suspicious that they only seem to err when it brings huge short term benefits for themselves, or long term, if the "mistakes" never backfire.

Starmer faces one of two issues: Either he lied about Mandelson''s vetting Or He confirmed Mandelson without confirming the vetting Either way, hardly a good look, and, especially considering Mandelson''s history, something even his supporters would call for a resignation over if Johnson had done it

BlueSky's status dashboard is hosted on the same infrastructure it is monitoring...

Ah they're going for the benignly incompetent route ... Unbelievable that an official wouldn't have told the Foreign Secretary or his SpAd, or No.10.

starmer is going to bring back his "i'm so ruddy furious that the people i trusted LIED to me. i understand that you are angry, but i am angry too, they lied to me also, i'm just so ruddy angry beth". can't wait for the dramatics at the next press conference.

btw i absolutely believe that keir starmer didn't know bcos keir starmer isn't actually running the country his cabinet ministers are. they all have their own little nasty agendas too keir starmer just does photo ops and gets free tickets to football matches. he has no idea what's going on at all

Peter Mandelson failed his Government security vetting. Starmer appointed him as ambassador to the US anyway. No more buck passing, no more mysteriously vanishing mobile phones, we need the truth. Starmer must go.

Skeptics with a K: Episode #460 Mike looks at ball lightning, why there is so little evidence of it, and asks whether it exists at all. **Note: tonight's Skeptics in the Pub will be in the Denbigh Castle on Hackins Hey in central Liverpool.** www.merseysideskeptics.org.uk/podcasts/ske...

i have a notification but the page won't load. this is hell for me. the highlight of my week and just like everything else that could possibly bring me joy, it is stranded in the clouds.

they've bollocksed the bluesky

Wow BBC, never been that person encouraging none payment of licence fee, but this pumping up of this immigration investigation as if it was watergate 2.0 is pushing me over the edge! You absolute fuck cunts
