"stuff that was common knowledge to journalists that they somehow declined to mention" is depressingly familiar to the British reader.

The fact that this person remains Health Secretary is objectively one of the most significant British political scandals of the post-Covid era. But because he's doing something the media barons like, everyone has decided it's fine.

I've no interest in a VR headset, BUT if the new steam VR controller will work on its own like a standard controller but split in 2, then I want that. I've wanted that for years.

Not getting a joke is very on brand for Bluesky 🤪

Micro Machines is in here!

I personally think pinning the future of your political party and government on the leadership of a man who is almost certain to lose his seat at the next election is unwise. But then I'm not one of the shrewd political masterminds running Labour these days.

[Britney voice] My stomach cramps Are killing meeeeee

We need to stop them from consuming dangerous media- like The Guardian opinion pages. And we need to prevent them from posting abusive content, such as writing for The Sun.

Personally I think we should put restrictions on labour MPs phones and ban them from social media, to stop them being radicalised by nazis on twitter.

Fascism didn’t creep in solely via big obvious monsters but with the help of your dad’s sensible favourites

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

When I bought my record player I worried it would be a passing interest and forgotten about after a month like some other things have been. But that didn't happen and I still use it a lot. No regrets at all. I could have spent a lot more money on a switch and got a lot less use out of it I think.

I ordered a record from bandcamp the other day, and I just got the email saying it shipped and I am excited for it to arrive

[gritted teeth] I should say something possitive now so my feed isn't all screaming at The Horrors...

"Don't reward good behaviour with criticism" Yes, ok, on a personal level this might be correct, but... WE TOLD YOU! WE FUCKING TOLD YOU! WE TOLD YOU AGES AGO! WE TOLD YOU OVER AND OVER AND OVER! WE FUCKING TOLD YOU AND YOU CALLED US CRANKS AND TOLD US TO FUCK OFF SO WE DID! AAAAAAAAAAAASDHDHDJDJS

putting her phone in a pouch would have made her killers less transphobic and violent?

I did not sleep well last night, and I am absolutely dragging my feet around today. I just had my weekly shop delivered and just putting chilled stuff away has left me needing sit down for 3 or 4 hours

The thing is Sonia is not wrong, there is a huge amount of institutional and ideological capture on "the sex and gender issue", it's just that she's so utterly radicalised that she has failed to realise that it's very much in favour of her side.

writing it "f*ck" sickens me. a coward's curse. say fuck or find a different word. get that nasty starfish asshole out of my sight

American libraries are just as fucking useless as ours.

Trying hard to give a shit about the BBC thing. Oh you spent years fuelling and pandering to right-wing propaganda and now the right-wing propaganda has come for you... Shocker. Maybe if you hadn't burned through every bit of left wing good will you'd have more people defending you.

Chadwick's analysis has been pretty good whoever she's given the chance. Totally agree with her on the Piastri/Antonelli incident. #f1

158 today for #FantasyGP, plus whatever points I got in the sprint. Oscar's dip in form has hurt me in the second half of the season, but picking up Antonelli several races back has helped offset that somewhat. #f1

Congrats to Lando for winning the season finale and the world championship. A pretty decent race to end the season on. #f1

They can show more than 1 camera on the timing tower? Why haven't they been doing that?! #f1

Come on Kimi! #f1

Ok, I didn't get what they were doing, but I'm glad they're going aggressive. I'll always favour going for a 2 stop over trying to stretch out to a 1 stop and then failing. #f1

Those softs are going to be difficult to get to the end #f1

No! No respect to Max for not playing games. THAT'S HOW YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO ACT #F1

Let's not forget what Verstappen gets away with on a regular basis. #f1

I think that's marginal. He locked up, he was also squeezed by Antonelli. I personally don't think mistakes like that should be punished, but the stewards tend to, so he'll probably get a penalty #f1

*sigh* #f1

Bort noooo! #f1

Sky F1 really are masters of extreme cringe introductions

🙄 #f1

Lando is streaming from the drivers parade haha #f1

I've been mentally thinking* of this weekend as the finale, because I can't be arsed with the next 3. And it Lando wins it, I have to say he's earned it. #f1 [*-is there any other way of thinking? I'm having trouble wordsing today, so that's the best sentence you're getting I'm afraid.]

"Fast!" Is what Toto was saying there. Yes Toto, that was quite fast. #f1

We absolutely do not call it magenta, Martin. I will fight you. #f1

Ted, not you too. Please. "Learnings" #f1

Loooool #f1

WHAT DID YOU DO DAVID CROFT? #F1

The had the camera on Leclerc for ages, and when he finally get the pass done they completely miss it. Excellent TV direction as always #f1

Fucks sake #f1

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

PLEASE REPOST: a couple of bar staff urgently needed for shifts in Stratford tomorrow - it's a West Ham home game and I've had staff drop out so you can borderline name your price

I would put more money on continuing to harvest infinite energy from the sun over assuming that forcing everyone to use The Machine The Lies To You is the steady basis of an entire economy
