Update: Just had to touch my face to work out which side was which in the mirror.

Reposting this because it has just come to light that there is only one mince pie in the house on Christmas eve. I'm furious.

I have a medical cannabis prescription and I thought I would give myself a little xmas treat and spend a bit more. I have grossly underestimated the difference between £50 weed and £85 weed. I thought I was hardcore. I am not. There is half a spliff in the ashtray and I think it wants to fight me.

there are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see

Honestly, watching both Jake Paul and Andrew Tate get absolutely panned this weekend has made me feel much more festive that anything else this year.

Somewhere, in the depths of the Labour party archives there's a copy of that old Blair attack ad that just keeps looking more and more human as the years pass.

Sometimes, just sometimes, Donald Trump is fucking hilarious.

OK, it still sucks but this is kinda funny.

The tech and investor bros have algorithmically bubbled themselves into blowing the global economy up, haven't they? As far as their feeds show, everyone but everyone thinks AI is god's gift. That's why they can't understand it and we're all going to burn.

They're gonna do a Kamala Harris with Shabana Mahmood and then tell us Farage won because we're all racist and sexist aren't they?

I came here to post this as I can't believe it doesn't already have 10,000 signatures - please sign and share! So vital and so utterly crazy that this has to be petitioned for. #climatesky

‘The best defence against a bad guy with a gun is a Muslim armed only with a colossal pair’

So we created a plausible-sounding bullshit machine. What could possibly go wrong? www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5Dj...

You may have noticed trees bursting into leaf in mid November. This is profoundly unnatural and could lead to ecological collapse and thereby societal collapse. This is due to climate change which is caused by western lifestyles. Just saying really

This is what they're doing in your name.

The real disgrace in UK's welfare bill is that so much of it is spent on people in work. We are subsidising jobs that do not pay enough to live on. If we genuinely made sure work paid a decent living, then we would not have such a high bill.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Mum's got a plastic Christmas tree with red lights on it and I keep telling her it's evil but she won't listen and it's going to kill us.

Absolutely tremendous stuff from this week's Popbitch

I'm deeply concerned about the wellbeing of prisoners who were involved in Palestine Action protests, and are currently on hunger strike. Some have not eaten for six weeks. A number have been hospitalised. They are all being held on remand - without trial or conviction.

How long are we meant to do this for? Forever? I mean, it's total bullshit, this all needs to change. Stop what you're doing... everyone, listen, EVERYONE. Stop it, whatever that is, just do something else. I don't care what, just something else. This is all bollocks that we're doing now.

There are inherent structural problems with the very nature of our existence that lead us to inevitably despair. For example, it is a very bad idea to play with swords when you are drunk. But on the other hand, when you are sober you just don't really want to play with swords, if I'm honest.

There's a female character I'm playing in a video game who is meant to be British but she switches between east end gangster moll cockney and jolly hockey sticks Queens English with such alarming ease I don't know if I'm meant to be Elizabeth Hurley or Pat Butcher.

The American mind will never comprehend or conceive of this.

Yay, just in time for my PIP application to be rejected. Cheers Wes. Prick.

Noticed my brother followed me on here, mentioned it to him hoping he would compliment my acerbic wit and keen political insight. Apparently mum thinks I've been a bit nuts recently and asked him to keep an eye on me. Sadface.

The fact that mince pies are not available all year only serves to underscore the iron grip our capitalist overlords have on our hearts and minds. This seasonal scarcity is entirely contrived. We could be living in a utopia you fools.

This thread, damn. “this is not dunking on kids. We are seeing this at all levels--even grad students. AI + social media has had a profound impact on how we think and process our world, and we can't stop to reflect on it, because billionaires keep hurling addictive tech at us.”

Thank GOD for Andrew Fisher!! FINALLY we get to hear about Spain on #r4today The fastest growing economy in Europe & outstripping the US as well & how? Wealth tax, rent controls & a positive integration-focused approach to immigration & asylum!! 🙌👏👏👏

Pffft. According to my boss 'never mind, you'll be dead soon' is not an appropriate response to boomers complaining about the mansion tax. I think it's factual and comforting.

when you see ppl ranting on the news, print, radio, and podcasts claiming that zack polanski's economics are 'crazy' and 'communist' and so on pls remember that these are the same ppl currently calling rachel reeves a 'socialist' for her bog-standard, typical, trickle-down budget.

I did not know this.

Hey, you missed a bit of your headline there bud, I'll help... Is racist Farage right to claim that racism allegations are a response to his racist policies? See, you can totally write that cos libel is judged on a balance of probability and 20 ppl have already confirmed it so you're fine. Have fun.

I cannot stress enough just how much wide LLM adoption is harming the human capacity to *try*. To just do things on your own, to think critically about a topic or a problem, to read and synthesize ideas. These are such important skills and we’re just giving them up.

Do we think someone 5 years from now protesting the right-wing fascists your government is paving the way for should go to prison for up to 3 years without a fair trial? Because that's what'll happen.

pretty much every long-time Labour volunteer I know is seriously considering whether to vote Green or Lib Dem.

UK gambling industry made £15.6bn in 2024 (£16.8bn in 2025) Most companies holed up in Gibraltar & Malta, dodge UK taxes. Some pay corporation tax at the rate of 3%-4%. No VAT on gambling. Public bears the cost of gambling addiction. Firms resent paying extra tax to clear their mess. Tax them.

Everyday you wake up and the news is even worse, but don't worry because today there's going to be a budget today at some point, so there will be an extra round of bad news at around lunch time. You will forget the morning's bad news. Except the jury thing. Fucking hell, the jury thing.

It's not a coincidence that the four most damaging politicians of the last two decades (Cameron, Osborne, Johnson and Farage) are all the products of English public schools.

Labour party today: - Disabled people can’t drive Audis, BMWs and Mercedes on Motability. No to £25k Audis but £36k Nissans are fine - Discredited PFI to return for funding NHS projects - Trial by jury to be axed except for most serious cases That’s just today

Home Alone makes changes to the Die Hard formula that render it hard for me to enjoy. The McClain character should feel overawed. And in theory having Kevin be a child versus adults achieves that. But the thing is: Kevin is a god. It's not just Tom & Jerry. This is some random punks versus Anansi.

If you keep hearing talk about bonds and spooking the bond markets and don't understand why it matters, this is a really good explanation. www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0lE...

I threw out two serial cables and a 12v adapter because of this post. I couldn't bear to lose anyone else.

They're still killing kids.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahh*deeeeeep breath*Hahahahahahaahhahahhahahhahahahhaha
