Nothing convinces me more that there was some kind of shenanigan here than Starmer denying it.

Labour are unable to respond to any voters abandoning them with anything other than racism and entitlement. It's past time they were smashed into tiny pieces and I'm going to enjoy every second of it as it unfolds over the next 3 years.

Racist nasty cunt Wes Steeting is sending this letter to Ilford residents - literally Jiromly Croybins with an extra large side order of racism via "...becoming a rotten Borough like Tower Hamlets". Disgusting piece of shit. PIECE OF SHIT.

I made a papercraft just for this

"the good news is that we have found a relatively cheap and easy way to prevent the cast from going through puberty. the bad news is that not everybody in this room is going to like it".

just for the record "death of the author" means "the author doesnt have total control over the meaning of their own art" not "its okay to give money to hitler if you liked his paintings as a child"

Did you know that instead of watching the new Harry Potter adaptation and giving money to an anti-trans billionaire, you could buy a children’s book with a trans boy main character and support a trans writer who is not a billionaire (me)?

I feel like "death of the author" works better as a framework when the author is either literally dead, or at least not doing any material harm. Can't say either of those conditions are met about the Big Thing everyone's on about.

Children up and down the country are saying they can't hand in their homework because "it's on Morgan McSweeney's phone". They know the teachers can't do anything about it because the government has made it a legitimate excuse. That's what the Labour Party is doing to our values.

Begging cis people not to press the button that makes children kill themselves. “But it’s such a pretty button,” they protest, sweat pouring down their face from the effort of not pushing it. “It looks like so much fun to press.” Dead children, we remind them. “...what kind of children?” they ask.

Reminder that this guy believes he can do Psychohistory from the Foundation books and is Just Asking Questions about the Holocaust.

Maybe it's not fantastic to have an economic system that can be moved from "shit" to "catastrophic" based on the sentiment of a few people reacting to the paedophile emperor of the global hegemon?

Vladimir Lenin has done more good for men than Keir Starmer. Full stop.

some people treat youtube personalities the way they should treat members of congress idk

Starmer trying so hard to imitate the Danish Social Democrats makes a lot of sense when you realise that 19% would represent a pretty big improvement for his polling.

at home is still prison to him cos he's away from his beloved hospital

Big purchase requires big Internet. This is simple math

The home of Israeli politician Meirav Ben-Ari was hit by part of an Iranian missile while she was in the Knesset. She’s famous for saying in 2023 “the children in Gaza have brought this upon themselves”.

Of course labour people need an explainer on what a friend is

BBC News on the radio reporting Trump saying he’s making progress negotiating an end to the war, immediately followed by reports of Netanyahu ‘ruthlessly’ pursuing his own war against Iran and vowing to continue doing so. Farcical.

The lads - who would not otherwise be talking about America forcefully strangling the people of Cuba, unless there was a chance to be dicks - are disgusted at Old Jezza and Kneecap for going there. Libby and Seb agree they are there for virtue signalling and showing off how morally pure they are.

Today my students discussed whether and to what extent Islamophobia and anti-Arab racism play a similar structural role in Europe to the role antisemitism played in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Then the Israeli Foreign Ministry just goes and tweets out an Islamophobic octopus.

Saw someone say on here that communists only do literacy programs and raise literacy rates for propaganda reasons and I thought about this post

It is impressive how Britain is the worst country at everything.

At least I get to repost the greatest headline the Independent has ever run.

Morning all

If NATO would like to be perceived as a purely defensive military alliance then maybe it’s Chief Secretary General shouldn’t go on TV cheerleading an illegal war of aggression which NATO member states apparently want nothing to do with, while praying for a different electorate like Brecht portrayed.

You owe it to yourself to watch this. Perfect breakdown of where we are, how we got here, how few people are ultimately responsible, and where we go.from here

Really fascinating how there's been an almost total blackout on the success of Iranian strikes except this one

Yes, this is what our shitehouse newspapers did to Sir Keir’s predecessor and it worked, so now they are doing it to him also.

There's no punishment that's sufficient either for the Israelis or the politicians in other countries who insisted nothing be done for the Palestinians which mean we're now here. Land grabs until this deranged theocratic settler state is put in its place.

I'm not an army guy, but isn't it easier to send a missile across open ocean than it is like fifteen countries, most of whom will have interceptors?

"It's cheating to shoot back when the people attacking you are western" is what's really being said here and I'm sorry, but if you keep pushing people they eventually push back.

What the US is purposefully doing to Cuba should be considered genocide.

I hope you all remembered

important news from snom

I finally did it. I made a video about HBO's Rome. I'm talking about one of the scenes that I can't get out of my head and how good it is. I also go on a top tier rant on where Eastern Turkey is. youtu.be/OTbEsRj8G7s

it’s super funny to say this when oil is>$100 a barrel and there are loads of reasons to be drummed out of public life for saying why

Always amazed how Starmer’s government loves to hang around with and insist it needs to learn from Italy’s fascist led government, but always ignores this ostensibly ideologically aligned government led by a sister party.

no one seems to even try to say that Lebanon is in a genocide, certainly not in English

I am so excited to see the tantrums these incredibly reasonable demands produce from people who otherwise insist they are the sensible adults or whatever.

Amazing myself by having a day off that’s actually a day off. Not felt this relaxed in ages.

I'm seeing a weird uptick in people saying 'no Zios' on dating profiles alongside the usual 'no Tories' etc. Not a great look there guys! A simple watermelon emoji communicates what you want to communicate without using a term invented by David fucking Duke.

dying laughing at the strava data for the guy running laps on the french carrier
