You couldn't make Blazing Saddles today. It's already 4PM and you haven't even started.

Because he’s a white supremacist, next question!

Franchising is usually a racket. Now it will be more of one. trib.al/INtqE4O

Starting a Change.org petition to stop Change.org from using AI slop graphics in their petitions

Defending for what bro?

As an MP, Burnham voted in favour of the Iraq War and against investigations into its legality, and that tells you everything you need to know about his attitude towards people who were not born in the UK

To be right-wing is fundamentally to be afraid: afraid of getting on public transport, afraid of strangers in the street, afraid of someone breaking into your home, afraid of people different from you.

Not to be ableist but you should be able to opt in to long read assembly instructions for flat packs

So we are currently at war on days when oil doesn’t trade and at peace on days when oil trades?

Some AI dork: “Well, actually, golf courses use more water than data centres.” Yes. Those can go, too. Thanks.

I'll take one of these retired admirals/generals seriously when they float higher taxes on the rich as a way of paying for it

this is a terrible fucking idea

Enthusiastically committing yourself to the ‘fiscal rule book’ is just completely giving up before you’ve even started and until we have more people calling that out then idk what to tell you

The genocide in Gaza is a moral litmus test for Burnham.

I delayed some gratification and honestly huge mistake

I remember this. It actually happened

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.

*throws grenade into discourse* The reason Americans like AC is because it quite literally gives The Individual comfort at the expense of the Outside Other who has to deal with the consequences

I think it was in a @bloodwork.show pod a few weeks back where they spoke about the sort of people at these events. They have a kind of contempt for each other, like "Yes, the flat-earthers are here, but we're not like them, our thing is a good and reasonable concern"

based

I see this kind of comment, "but still the right will deny and delay..." Yeah they will. They will happily kill you and your relatives to suit their ambitions for a more brutal world built on wealth. It's not because they're stupid or ignorant it's because the waves of death do not matter to them.

Sitting in the dark with all windows and curtains closed because it feels like the sun is trying to kill me in June: cLIEmate change 😌🤣

Nice to see the newspaper owned by the my-employees-piss-in-bottles-so-I-can-rent-out-Venice guy stand up for human rights abuses and not at all corporate or imperial interests

Americans are ultimately so deadset on AC because planting trees flies in direct conflict with their collective desire for a dead earth lined with jammed motorways

actual banger

Tech CEOs in 2026: ‘We spent billions to hopefully one day have an ai that can make people feel like it’s portraying real emotions for tv, but we need way more money to do it’ Jim Henson in 1955: ‘yeah so I stuck some ping pong balls to a bit of old felt and called it Kermit’

Sam Raimi didn't strap a Super 8 camera to a 2x4 so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

We will keep cycling through the failed politicians and projects of the past until the island slides into the sea, because the purpose of governance in this country is propping up existing hierarchies to ensure nothing ever meaningfully changes*, and keeping the pig-people in their place forever.

Expecting an imminent reactionary rejection of hosepipe bans as woke any minute now

Some things you really can’t put back in the bottle…

This is worth your time. Amanda makes a point that cannot be emphasized enough: that candidates who have good values and speak plainly about them *are strong even if some voters disagree w/some of their positions.* Centrists fretting about lefty candidates are, as usual, totally missing the point.

Just went to peek. Here's some straight-up Turner Diaries, Day of the Rope fantasy. There's never a day where Musk isn't posting nazi shit!

We have to remember; this “trial” is not just a “puberty-blocker trial” it is a “puberty-blocker/conversion therapy combination trial.”

30 years for moving a box of zines. Des Sanchez Estrada was not even at the noise demo that led to this. The state is attempting to make an example of these anti-fascist political prisoners. We can expect the crackdowns to continue & escalate. Take this seriously. Don't back down

The only shred of comfort in all this is how absolutely nobody is talking about Wes Streeting

When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

Really enjoying the BBC commentators ripping the piss out of hydration breaks

Sadly ‘multi-agency child protection teams in every local authority’ won’t help while under resourcing raises thresholds and social workers are burnt out , carrying ludicrous caseloads and pushed to close cases abandoning professional curiosity and preventative support

Bot. 100 posts in 4 days, first post at 2am on the 19th starting the relentlessly pro Burnham vibe from nothing before it and this weird generated WhatsApp text, just block and move on.

the moderate position is designating the fossil fuel industry as terrorists

While you're cooking in the heat this week, do bear this in mind.

The Muskogee Times Democrat Muskogee Oklahoma May 27,1916

Nobody wants what they’re selling, and this is a democracy, so the system should reflect that. But, what they are selling is non-negotiable and keeping it is not up for debate. Better hope Burnham is a better salesman for it, or else.
