“Re ‘There are a lot of people on your side who will be in the Epstein Files too!’: No there aren't, my side is the ‘People Who Don't Fuck Children’ side, anyone not on this side can get all the way into the bin, what side are YOU on, exactly?” — John Scalzi

patton oswalt has been suspended from bluesky for saying that megyn kelly should be fed to a woodchipper for justifying the sexual abuse of minors

Well.

This is so neatly done 👌

Yesterday Ukraine blew up the Novorossiysk oil refinery, which is still burning furiously. Today Russia has been forced to suspend all exports - 2.2 million barrels a day. That sound you now hear is the Russian economy burning.

Railway line becomes cycle path, cyclists object to plans to turn it into a tram line, I silently weep for our nation www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Nicely done, Patrick Barkham, nicely done. This DJ is really sticking up for the Common People. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Looks like yet ANOTHER year that Olly Murs has wasted the opportunity to release a Christmas album called Gold, Frankincense and Murs.

In eight years Megyn Kelly went from becoming a centrist convert who bravely and eloquently spoke about being a victim of abuse during #MeToo and advocated for other victims....to standing up for some peadophiles coz the girls weren't 8, they were 15 and just LOOKED younger. Her daughter is 14 btw.

This is why we should protect the BBC.

Siri show me the best example you can of how fucked up American healthcare is.

When your game's anniversary is also the first day of Transgender Awareness Week.

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

I've been asked this survey question about who my electricity supplier is. Except: 🔵 It's missing Octopus and Ovo, now the biggest and third biggest suppliers 🟢 It includes nPower and SSE which no longer have retail electricity businesses.

Giving my cats the names of serial killers pays dividends, because when they’re naughty and you use their full name it sounds like a twee murder podcast “Albert Fish you are a very naughty boy!” It also led to getting this letter from the pet insurance

Good work here. Not unexpected, but very useful to have it clearly laid out.

I mean, who wants to stay in a country actively stripping away your rights and personhood?

say what you like about him, but streeting has a unique historical opportunity now: to become the most hated wesley in internet history since crusher

I made a movie on my own because Hollywood wouldn't. It's in podcast form but still...we MADE it :D Check it out at tallisproductions.bandcamp.com. LOTS OF SWEARS BE WARNED ITS FILTHY! Thanks for supporting my indie content <3

New Post: Playlist of the month: Songs about Trains

Without downloading any new pics, describe your gender.

This is legit why exec level in a lot of places are obsessed with copilot. It takes their word salad and turns it into a word salad that sounds smarter (but isn't).

Finally. A pointless post that in the past was adequately dealt with by councillors. Created by Conservatives because it was the only way they could win elections, on a micro-turnout where no one cared about the outcome.

As you can see from the graph, it began to be "a time to be alive" during the interwar period. And then again in the 90s, presumably due to britpop. But the 2020s are easily the most "what a time to be alive" era of all time.

Reform in Kent are “a threat to public safety”, the Fire Brigades Union said. Reform haven’t signed off on fire brigade budgets, “failed to govern and lead the fire service” and haven’t even met with the fire service which is one of their responsibilities.

Brits, we need to prepare for the fact that in the next few days it's likely emails will be released where Peter Mandelson is sending Jeffrey Epstein some truly cringe memes.

London's enormously delayed new Docklands Light Railway (DLR) trains have been immediately withdrawn because of issues one of them had with stopping in the rain.

Age yourself with gaming.

Capitalism brain is when doing the work you're paid to do is "entitled" but expecting your young employees to do unpaid work and be enthusiastic about socialising with you in their free time is not "entitled", somehow

This is what a Reform government will look like. It will collapse in months

If the Prescott memo is true, and there is a secret cabal of LGBTQ+ journalists stopping any negative stories about trans people being published or aired at BBC News, then, I have to say, they’re doing a really fucking shit job of that.

it's funny seeing online reactbait scoldpieces about polyamory as a modern trend when you know even the slightest thing about 19th-century france

To all the doubters, AI is so close to being perfect Look my iphone helpfully transcribed a voice message left by my French mechanic

Jesus christ people the UK government are not banning VPNs stop getting caught out by dogshit headlines on social media sharing cards.

guys i figured out where the male loneliness problem is coming from

Yesterday a man was spelling something using phonetic alphabet over the phone to me. He started to struggle at D: ”eh…Dick” and when he came to a B “[long silence]…I can only think of Balls because I said Dick”

ooof this feels like most every university rn

When you're running a series of Christmas meet and greets with well-known kids TV show characters, but are too cheap to pay the licensing fees. Tag yourselves, I'm 'Blue Alien Buddy'.

Holy JPEG compression artefacts, Batman!

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

Nobody could have predicted this. Of course the Thieves’ Guild wasn’t happy with laws requiring them not to steal stuff.

New YouGov poll, once again illustrating that Reform supporters are like no one else. How far does the public support net zero? Support: 60% Oppose: 25% Net support by party Green: +81 Lib Dem: +67 Lab: +64 Con: +11 Reform: -44

More of this. It’s time the world took a stand.

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months" China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

Yeah, but at least it's an environmental catastrophe with absolutely no regulation, so a handful of dirtbags can have even more money they'll never be able to spend.

Important to be clear here that the proposed homes wouldn't mean demolishing the 18th century garden - it's just that they might possibly be visible from it. What appallingly selfish behaviour.
