That 4% of the population who oppose or strongly oppose the use of renewable energy sure do seem to get a lot of airtime and column inches.

Glad to see MPs focusing on the real threat to the nation: kids wanting to... *checks notes* join the NKVD due to insidious Soviet propaganda? www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

NEW BLOG FOR YOU Google's energy consumption numbers in their new climate report are mind-blowing. 2 years ago they flipped from linear to exponential growth, and their climate impact is blowing out, too. A WILD testament to the obscene bloat and waste of GenAI: ketanjoshi.co/2026/07/01/g...

Head of the EHRC really did just say Phrenology will help solve the issue of transgenders in society

absolutely fucking outrageous question/answer combo from this game from the 2000s

If these data centres are so valuable, they can subsidise energy for the rest of us, not the other way around.

Imagine if we had an equality and human rights body that had any respect for the concepts of equality, or human rights?

"Such a deal would help improve the industry’s relations with the Trump administration" You don't say? Remember, it's not flagrant corruption - it's public investment! www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Even as I type, the massed hordes of the Burnham Khanate are poised to sweep over us from the Mancunian steppe in an orgy of looting and pillaging. The twilight of Britain is at hand. May God preserve us!

The lesson of this is the one we learned in the 30s. You cannot appease fascism; you must destroy it.

As the director of a historical video game preservation institution, and someone who has dedicated his entire adult life to this cause, this is accurate. We have attempted to work with the industry's trade organization to find a legal path forward, but they refuse to offer a meaningful alternative.

The physical abuse of children by adult men is an actual plank of all right-wing political thought, a thing they believe in strongly and govern to enable, not just something thousands of them happen to do. Fascism is a politics of violent mastery and no one's easier to do that to than a child.

look I'm not saying sacrificing Matt Goodwin in a wicker man would definitely improve the way England play, I'm just saying we can't definitely rule that out

You might wonder why all of these guys have been sent out to demand massive hikes in military spending that are 100% financed not by borrowing or by tax rises, but by cutting spending on welfare specifically. Why would army men give a fuck where the money comes from? And that’s a great question.

So, this is bad for a lot of reasons, but combined with Sony just deleting people's movie libraries there is another worrying aspect. Sony is also responsible for the blu ray disc. We could be seeing a push for the end of physical media, and ownership of any future media.

We know what they've done: they used her terrible murder by a neo-nazi to hold the peacenik left to account while mainstreaming far right talking points, enforcing Reform style racist immigration policies, & telling every racist in the land they have legitimate concerns

Lord Alan West yesterday: "Things like welfare.. are unimportant when you lose a war & you have Russian Chechen stormtroopers coming down the street raping women & killing people" Reintroducing the workhouse or Russians raping your mum. They're the only choices, ok.

a fun fact about SSPX is that the main founder was a Vichy regime sympathizer and one of his founding bishops was an outright Holocaust denier. both excommunicated in the 80s I’m no JPII stan, but you KNOW that was one thing former Polish Resistance member Karol Wojtyla was NOT going to stand for

We have officially entered the JD Vance excommunication countdown.

great year for medievalists; first you’ve got a tyrant starting shit with the Pope and now we have a full blown schism

It was never really about numbers. It was never about facts. It never is.

2009-2020: there’s no money 2021: there’s no money 2022: there’s no money 2023: there’s no money 2024: there’s no money 2025: America’s fascist government demands a zillion pounds, with menaces 2026: frankly, a zillion pounds is a humiliating amount to give America, we need 11 gazillion

Modern factories do not lucratively employ half the men in the town straight out of high school to work an assembly line on union contracts. That was a weird blip in the 1950's when automation hadn't taken off yet and the US was the only country in the world whose factories weren't blown to shit.

Bayswater Support Group internally discuss torturing kids and preventing them from accessing ChildLine or rape crisis counselling www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2024... www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2024...

Supreme Court, are non-whites human? Jackson: "Yes" Kagan: "Yes." Sotomayor: "Obviously?!" Barrett: "Sadly, yes." Gorsuch: "Not legally." Alito: "Ha! No." Thomas: "MAGA wife says no." Kavanaugh: "Only the one this case is about." Roberts: "Maybe, if you'll overlook my other 3 decisions today."

I think that the worst thing about the "refugee tax" is that the high accommodation costs are caused by the Home Office, and in particular their inability to make fast AND accurate decisions, leaving people rotting in those grim places. Refugees are effectively being fined for HO incompetence.

Yes the bunting at No.10s pride event is the original rainbow flag and not the progress flag because they’re transphobic

All of these cases are basically litmus tests for any Dem nominee. Are immigrants Americans? Do trans Americans deserve human rights? Are corporations superhumans who get to spend endlessly on elections to put whoever they want into power? These are simple questions with simple answers.

We, your leaders, whom not only refused to meaningfully invest in this country for decades but have screamed abuse at anyone who requested it, are now going to give a dodecajillion pounds of your money to Lockheed Martin, to impress America’s mad emperor. Fuck you, it could never have been different

love to my trans friends. fuck SCOTUS.

This birthright ruling is why I just refuse to tolerate all the Democrat garment rending over NY voters choosing progressive candidates. They are incapable of governing in this moment. The politics of appeasement and centrism gets us to a 5-4 decision on the constitutional question.

Kavanaugh, Thomas, Gorsuch, and Alito should be impeached www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

I think Lord Collins should start his global mission championing LGBT+ rights by talking to the regressive government of this little known nation called the UK.

It’s weird to see how the Guardian US reports this stuff and then you look at the UK version, and it’s usual output is mostly verbatim quotes from senior Labour Party figures and sympathetic profiles of various terf groups, usually engaged in vexatious litigation www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

We need to spend MORE on the Ajax! Some soldiers have still not been converted to a soup-like homogenate!

A brief reminder that this guy is/was suspended by the House of Lords for offering undercover journalists access to government ministers for pay, following a long pattern doing this:

Frog put Claude in a harness. "There," he said, "now Claude can no longer delete files." "But Claude can edit the files" said Toad. "That is true," said Frog.

Taxing vulnerable people for the crime of fleeing from war, torture and persecution. A new low from Shabana Mahmood

this whole online ID verification push stuff is turning me into a weird crank at rapid speed because I've never seen such an unpopular policy forced through with such speed in so many countries simultaneously with basically zero real consent from any population, just pure elite collusion

If the UK government can find just a bit more porn to ban, houses will become more affordable. I reckon three more porn will do it, and if we get to four porn, food prices should come down as well. This country will get back on its feet, one porn ban at a time.

Billionaire brain and AI psychosis are simply two facets of the same phenomenon, best understood as being to capitalism what inbreeding is to monarchy.

ah good, the Republican Project 2025 was a playbook for rolling out Christofascism and the Democrats have responded with Project 2029, a plan for permanent electoral irrelevance

It’s weird to be clearly living through exactly what was warned about with global warming and still have the concept treated as a future event or hypothetical.

It is laughable that people believe this trite nonsense when Katz himself will boast in every interview he has on Israeli television that the Israeli army has successfully depopulated the south of Lebanon of any Shia. *Even if* the Israelis "withdraw", this is in of itself a territorial ambition.

Just realised they will absolutely ban hypno porn before actual conversion therapy in the UK

NOT FUCKING MULLVAD GOD DAMN IT www.tumblr.com/3liza/820613... circumstances.run/@davidgerard...

Thinking of Jimmy Fallon jovially hosting Conor McGregor reminded me of the Bluesky comment that outraged the BBC so much I felt I had no choice but to resign .

They're introducing the equivalent of magistrates for asylum appeals. If you have ever had the misfortune to witness the magistrates court in action, you'll know exactly what that means. Easily one of the most dreadful policies I have ever seen.
