Leto gives the vibes of someone who not only knows where the bodies are buried but did the killing and the necrophilia himself before being talked down by a terrified publicist.

This is my Lokifesto #KidsConf #UKkidlit #edusky lokibooks.com/lokifesto/

Moderates think they're Good People. The right are objectionable but dont threaten the system that maintains the moderates lifestyle, worldview or Goodness. The left do challenge that system and question their Goodness. So they must be opposed.

Love that the US government would see me as a violent terrorist for my general stance that folks should be free to live as they please, governments should be answerable to their population, arbitrary hierarchies are evil and social security & nationalised healthcare are good.

I often repeat that there are no bad people but people who do bad things, and it's important to remember because it means everyone can do bad things. But also that everyone can choose to not do them, or choose to make amends for them (aka "what matters is not the fuck up but what you do after")

Yes it does. Labour as they are really manifest the type of person who believes they are Good People and therefore anything they do is the action of a Good person, no matter how objectively contemptible. In fact its those folks who say what they are doing is bad who are actually Bad People...

These temu stormtroopers would be hilarious if they weren't such banal evil. Their great scheme - abduct the JustEat guy. Foiled by said JustEat guy being sharper than dozens of them, combined.

“But not everyone can afford a heat pump!” No. No, they can’t. Maybe we should make that the next action item then. Because the other thing doesn’t help either, and at least this way some people get heat pumps out of it.

christ on tiny little crackers, climateworld, we've got to ask people to do good things that they can do, and which help them, rather than asking them to volunteer for an emotionally devastating existential-threat experience without exits into action

The Writing on the Wall for Ruben Amorim Why I think Ruben Amorim is likely to be fired at Manchester United and who I’d want to replace him. I’ve been a fan and supporter of Ruben Amorim throughout his period as Manchester United manager. I supported his decision to stick with his philosophy last…

What's your sign?

List 3 things you can talk about for 3 hours with no prep. 1. The lore of Warhammer 40k 2. World building & mythology, how the stories we tell shape the world 3. The narrative arc of western politics 1970s-present BONUS - the lore of Vampire the Masquerade & Mage the Acsension (current fixation)

it's funny b/c they promised "managerial efficiency" and now we're seeing the reality of modern managers all being absolute useless wankstains who'll lock themselves onto some grand "initiative" the lowliest admin flunkie can tell them won't work, driving worse staff turnover than a fast food chain

This story by @bethkesh.bsky.social made me hurt inside, in a good way. Give it a listen, especially if you would like the dulcet tones of @elizachanwrites.bsky.social in your ears. There's also a text version, if like me, audio does your head in.

I'd rather be a spicy bean than an anti-science fascist buffoon. #art

Wait, people can see me? I wasnt doing anything suspicious... just, looking around. Innocent like.

Autism, ADHD and other forms of neurodiversity have always been with us. Humanity has never been... neurohomogenous (did I make a word?) and for all of history, we've variously incorporated and persecuted folks who deviate from the accepted average at the time. The question is not one of 'curing'

Blessed Mabon, all who celebrate.

The 'kin' of ‘napkin’ means "little." ‘Nap’ comes from ‘nape,' which means “tablecloth.” So a napkin is a little tablecloth. 10/10, no notes.

This... *this* is Hell. Sartre: Hell is other people. Me: But, imagine if *all* the other people are James Corden.... Sartre (Eyes widening): Oh, shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit...!

What movie do you consider perfect?

it's better to think of the useless centrist 'expand the tent but only rightwards' media people & politicians as blockers paid to occupy space that could otherwise be utilized productively by a serious person. their opinions are pre-approved by their donors and will never change

Fuck a bluesky blackout, we need a whiteout. Cum everywhere, a week of moderators being unable to escape The Cum.

guessing this is also the prompt they fed to ezra klein and every other centrist hagiographer with the instruction "this but make it sound fancy"

Things that always work all of the time, with studies to prove it, boosting the economy and productivity, and increasing quality of life and public health, and that will never, ever be implemented within my lifetime: 1. UBI 2. 4-day working week

Nobody gets caught in a mosh anymore, and thats sad.

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

How dare this magical box I carry around and am wholly addicted to also allow people to contact me at any time or place. As if that was its original purpose. The audacity.

The next step to actually living in Transmetropolitan.

What kind of people declare anti-fascists to be ‘terrorists’? 🤔 It’s staring us in the face, people. It’s right there.

This is the state of play. This is how anti-trans hate can affect everyone. When the wife of a world leader is not immune to having to prove she's a woman to satisfy bigots, what hope do most trans and non-binary individuals have of being able to live our lives in peace www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

My day job is doing customer service for an accountancy body and I will misspell accountant every single time.

The left was derided for promoting a cancel culture because they went after predators and those who abused their wealth and power. The right is canceling anyone who dares speak truth to power. Both sides are not remotely the same.

This man takes better photos on what are arguably the worst days of his life under fluorescent tube lighting than most of us will take literally ever It's borderline faerie glamour, has anyone tried touching him with a horseshoe to see if it burns

Sometimes it's nice to remember that even Marcus Aurelius was like "you don't have to comment on everything bro"

the centrist commentariat are wreckers dedicated to the centre of power & privilege who'll do anything to persuade you that neither they nor their political counterparts are the wreckers dedicated to the centre of power & privilege that they so obviously are

Im trying to pull a story together for my writers circle anthology, and despite having had the story in mind for months, a structure and scenes planned out etc, I'm really fighting with the actually getting it down. ADHD, the demands of parenting equally ND kids & self-doubt is really kicking my ass

As a goth xennial, were all about getting eaten by cryptids.

He's gonna make you eat that trashcan.

Generally speaking, folks wanting to make the world better don't use violence as a first recourse. Folks looking to generate fear, project power and generally dominate others do that.

BREAKING: The police have confirmed they won't be charging any of the violent far-right rioters with terrorism because they only do that for grandmas in wheelchairs who hold up signs they don't like ♥️

The kids are alright. Despite the vast promotion of right wing ideas, it remains that the majority of the right wing vote is boomers & gen x with the media literacy of a blind goldfish.

If we transported 2025 Charlie Kirk back to 2012 he would have been widely considered the most vile and contemptible human being in politics, worse even than Limbaugh. That he wasn't in 2025 is a testament to how much of a permission structure for gutter racism the right has built.

middle-class journalists will find the biggest far-right freaks you can imagine and say "this is the working class, they must be listened to", as if that isn't a profound insult towards working-class people and as if you give a single solitary shit what we have to say 99.99% of the time lmao.

Make a band singular. Mike's Garage

The police can't be identifying who's in the white supremacist crowd because it'll be embarrassing down the station on Monday when they all come in for their shift.

Oop.

I can't tell you just how feeble, artificial and embarrassing the foundations of modern British far rightism are. It is literally just copy paste internet Americana with fish and chips and football shirts.

"We have to cancel kristallnacht 2.0 because the guy was one of the people we were grooming to take part in it" is a heck of a twist to be sure

Heading into the weekend like...
