Let me guess, the winning state gets funding, right?

Love how my lamp's just started dimming and flickering as I'm reading through the discourse just so I can imagine what it'll be like when everyone has AC here.

why is he like this

Srsly wtf is this?

Nationalise utilities on the basis of proven need. Take it into public ownership. Then set up a compensation fund. If you're a pension fund or a small investor, you get your money back. If you're a hedge fund, then I'm sorry but investments can go down in value as well as up.

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.

No shit, really? Why on earth would he do that?

AI firms are hiring philosophers for marketing purposes. In much the same way that mainstream economists are paid to misunderstand the economy for the benefit of politicians, philosophers are being hired to misunderstand LLMs.

Just played an advance copy of GTA 6 and you play as one of the Hare Krishna’s seeking revenge on a 10 year old version of you, the player, who kept running them over in a line in the original game back in 1996.

Keir Starmer is a bad person who used his power to make the United Kingdom a more unequal place and dismantle the possibility of opposing oppression and genocide, and to drive trans people from public life. If you think he is decent, I have news for you about your own moral judgement.

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

When Labour get absolutely spanked at the next election there will be a bunch of baldmen asking "How did it go so wrong for Andy? He's a decent man." Then 100 lefties will point out 100 things we've said about Starmer for the last 2 weeks and they'll say "See? Total mystery, Electorate's gone mad"

The UK commentariat’s current collective determination to repeat “But I really don’t understand what he did wrong”, about a political event the rest of the country saw coming a mile off, is a good demonstration of why letting them tell you ANYTHING is a mistake.

Let’s check in on how Jared and Ivanka’s luxury Albanian resort is doing…

Shitposters around the world once again better political scientists than any pol prof

You do know he just filled the pond full of Algae to get the Screwworms out of the news right?

Is there a fucking lab in Josh Simons basement?

Was reliably informed that there were a bunch of football cunts in town today just chanting "EVERYONE ELSE IS WANKERS!" which I think is actually rather lovely and inclusive of them in a weird roundabout way.

Is this football or Labour?

'By consent' is the most tragic aspect of this...

"Andy Burnham twice, in 2008, voted favour of amendments regarding IVF that would block lesbian couples from accessing treatment - because he believes children must have a named father figure." “I wouldn’t seek to revisit that issue now,” he said, in 2015. “The law as it is, is right.”"

1/16 I keep seeing bald men rubbing their hands together over Burnham like their team's just signed Messi and now they can get on with winning the double and I need these bald men to understand what seems blatantly obvious to me: LABOUR CANNOT WIN AN ELECTION WITHOUT THE LEFT.

Also here’s your gentle reminder that in the U.K., lesbian couples *still* can’t access IVF on the NHS, despite gay marriage having been legalised. That’s enshrined homophobia in our health service and it’s due in part to this guy right here

if andy burnham wins in makerfield he’ll coup starmer and then reshuffle the cabinet with all the *exact* same ppl. nothing will change and the public will be even more pissed off at labour for wasting everyone’s time.

Bluesky is where reddit lurkers come to comment about things they've seen on reddit without having to engage with people who actually post and comment on reddit.

Every single person still voting Labour is *at best* condoning fascism

i really don't think people are ready for how weird international politics are going to be in the next decade

Seriously, I want kids talking to humans, not psychotic bots designed and run by white-supremacist Incels.

You know, it's not until you look for a spot to put a few ganja plants out to grow that you really realise how fucking full of fucking golf courses this silly country is.

Quite. Hence my username.

Using the BoE inflation calculator - my dad bought an ex council house for £40k in 1988. It should be now £115k according to that website. The last valuation was £650k.

A history of marginal tax rates on the wealthiest Britons: 1920: 58% 1930: 63% 1940: 95% 1950: 91% 1960: 91% 1970: 98% 1980: 33% 1990: 40% 2000: 40% 2010: 50% 2020: 45% For 50 years, corporate backed politicians in Parliament have slashed taxes to line the pockets of their wealthy donors.

Cycled a rural route I usually drive and spotted an absolutely gorgeous and enormous Oak tree I hadn't noticed before. High on exercise and sun I bellowed "FUCK ME, YOU'RE FUCKING GORGEOUS!"... Just as an old man with his spaniel emerged from a footpath looking most perturbed. FML.

A starting point for understanding British politics right now is that the political establishment did to Corbyn what it should have down to Farage.

The Tories called Nelson Mandela a terrorist, they wanted to have him executed. This Labour government's support for the genocidal state of Israel is identical to the Tory's support for the white supremacist apartheid South Africa Starmer and his racist cabal will rightly be obliterated over this

I had to leave a vegan group because someone posted that they'd won a ham in raffle & didn't know what to do & people told him he should give it a burial in the back garden & apologise to it.

Like I really don't think MPs should be even allowed to block people on social media without some sort of approval which says the person went too far with abuse or something. They're all using work accounts so they should have to answer to the people they supposedly work for

Brilliant. A legal system that can hold us accountable for things we *may* do in the future is definitely nothing to worry about in a world trending towards autocracy.

keir starmer is a busy-body his entire time as prime minister can be summed up as him demanding that everyone 'jolly well behave' and 'behaving' in his mind is some deeply repressive conservative nonsense that he considers 'common sense' he's rancid and easily the worst prime minister of my life

Here's the thing: Labour MPs, particularly leadership hopefuls, aren't idiots; they know the policies they should have enacted, they'll scramble about to hindsight their way into power but they're all from the box of bad apples. It's time for a new box. #VoteGreen www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I hope the MPs who use this platform use this moment to tell their colleagues they should quit the race riot and non-consensual pornography platform once and for all, and call them out when they refuse. Musk clearly has no intention of cleaning up his platform, quite the opposite in fact.

I’m a student pilot, an aircraft maintenance student, I have a medical certificate stating I’m fit to fly, I have a psychiatric report saying I am fit to fly, yet the NHS think I’m delusional and as such they are taking the care away from me and 77/78 other T/NB individuals. We need this care!

I've been a broken record on this for three years and I'll be a broken record for as long as that fucking website exists: X is a viciously racist far-right organising platform that ONLY WORKS because a huge number of centrists, lefties and progressivs cannot stop propping it up
