New thing to feel mildly patriotic about unlocked

The Yank Mind is unaware of the glory of the Meal Deal.

Fundamentally the Labour Party is like the Catholic Church. You can stop turning up and paying your dues, you can change the entirety of your belief system, but on a deep spiritual level, you can never truly leave the Labour Party

I'm sorry, I just want ONE DAMN TRAIN, damn the torpedoes. BUILD THE TRAIN. BUILD ONE HIGH SPEED TRAIN. We could be a real country. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Why does Zarah Sultana screenshot her own tweets from X Dot Com and then types in what she said in the screenshot in BSky Dot App? And all this without Alt Text, mind you.

This is all on iPlayer. I highly recommend that people watch since it shows aspects of the Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe story that wasn't necessary apparent even at the time. I don't expect people to have the same response that I had but I do hope people do understand why I can get emotional about this

Except you have, Torsten. Rail electrification has been slashed to nought because it’s “too expensive” … all while the Chancellor wastes £3bn on the fuel duty freeze - which is ~ twice the cost of completing the MML electrification programme.

He took Starmer's lamp.

there's not much ideological space on the left for your party. if you are a normal left wing voter who dislikes labour anti trans and anti immigrant stances, you can vote green. if you dislike the greens dumb foreign policy stances you can vote lib dem.

Errr…

so much FUN

A genuinely fascinating mess is coming

YourParty (or whatever it's called) has adopted a "pioneering collective member leadership role" after a...wait for it...52:48 vote in favour

We are so close to the factionalism timeline that results in Continuity Your Party Party for You (provisional revolutionary committee)

Naming someone the “Mom and Pop Czar” makes me laugh. Maybe in their spare time, they can get my teenager to clean her room.

One of the great things about PARADISE LOST is that it really engages with how unfathomably *weird* those stories really are.

The leftist announcing the deregulation of private businesses. Truly Zohran Mamdani is the 21st Century embodiment of Vince Cable thought.

Honestly it's funny that he is *quite literally* saying "deregulate and reduce the burden of taxation on business to create jobs" and nobody on the left will criticise him. Good.

part of the reason i am genuinely irritated with the gAI/AGI cult is because there is real societal benefits in using ML techniques in medical care + weather analysis, and instead people get annoyed with anything that gets lumped in with the plagiarism machine

the new Scorcese film, "Good Fathers", already looks like a banger.

A film that many people consider problematic. One reason being that it is the cause of Paul McCartney's tragic death in an exploding piano incident.

I will confess to being one of those people (but never to being an American)

TV Tropes, ironically, is *great* for browsing because any one trope is typically gonna get used in a broad swathe of very different works. But ppl who use it that way are far outnumbered by the ones who just use it as the literary version of 'Doctor Google'.

WE GOT BAR CHARTS

The Pokémon Company will open a Pokémon theme park in Tokyo next year. PokéPark KANTO will be the monster-catching series’ first permanent outdoor attraction, and located inside Yomiuriland, Tokyo’s largest theme park. https://t.co/d3tpUwibAr

Here's a PNG of Shinji for whatever creative intents you may or may not have.

Remember when "Machine Learning" and "Data Science" were the buzzwords. Good times

also all of the c-suites that panicked and decided to shove LLMs everywhere and ruin their UX to make them front and center because they were terrified about not being able to monetize the thing they're spending bajillions on

Gay MP perfectly explains why EHRC's 'shocking' guidance on single-sex spaces is 'unworkable' https://www.thepinknews.com/2025/11/26/ehrc-guidance-trans-josh-babarinde-lib-dem/?utm_content=1764435603&utm_medium=social&utm_source=bluesky

Ayoub Khan v Zack Polanski Which way, Western Lib Dem?

sir the question was about the budget

Rhodesia crisis! What should Britain do? Wilson: we should blockade Beira Heath: why not negotiate more? Thorpe: I’LL KILL THEM LIKE MY GAY LOVER’S DOG

Any takers for the Greens? We're one short of a full set

why is this the most normal headline out of this conference

The Conservative Party's leader in London, Susan Hall, just shared this Islamophobic disinformation about Sadiq Khan, after it was posted on X by a racist troll

No response from the Conservative party to my questions about this and the post still remains on her account. So apparently openly spreading anti-Muslim hate is absolutely fine now

Fuck.

They’re not trying to beat China!! They’re just trying to hurt anyone who is ethnically Chinese - even when those people ARE HERE, HELPING US

Just arrived at the Your Party Conference. Buzzing!

They remind me of a couple who stayed together for the kids and the kids turned out to be shite

It's not that I think a business degree has no use, it's that I don't think someone who goes 'I love maths or physics but I am applying to do business because I want a good job' is being well-advised.

Please can we have a Your Party conference every weekend?

I think I speak for the entire world of outside observers when I say: please please please please please vote for Option B

they didn't want to. next question www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
