This is such a pefect distillation of what human advancement looks like to a tech billionaire

Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed. We must get rid of Palantir altogether. twitter-thread.com/t/2045574398...

He looks like if The Matrix was about being cis.

If you ask someone today to name the builder of Hadrian's Wall, they would give you a funny look. But historical memory is odd, and right up to the 1800s we forgot who built it. Until in 1840 John Hodgson, an obscure Northumbrian clergyman, published the LONGEST footnote in history... 1/22

Pour one out for PROGRESS Wrestling.

If you’re a royal historian writing a biography of the early years of Andrew & Charles and you haven’t called it A Nonce and Future King what are you even doing?

no self-respecting country should come compete here.

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

The load-bearing myth at the heart of UK politics is that the politicians and media are tolerant and decent and working people are knuckle-dragging bigots, but it's actually completely the other way around.

For example: this was the index created for the British Army for warning signs of extreme far right radicalisation in 2019. I notice it would’ve caught half of parliament and most of the commentariat even then, never mind now.

Hilarious

this is not an exaggeration

This fucking awful populist narrative could've come direct from the dog shit reeking gob of Farage. We still have over 750k job vacancies, over 100k in the NHS alone. This bollocks is grovelling at the feet of fascists, not having the back of hard working Brits.

Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter. They graded it. Bwahahaha.

it makes sense that lincolnshire would vote for reform, a party that doesn’t believe in net zero, because if there’s one thing everyone can agree on it’s that lincolnshire being taken by the sea would be a good thing

“The God-Emperor would like a 9,495th term. And also a cheeseburger” From the new Private Eye, out now.

A trans woman wrote to Wetherspoons to ask which toilets they're meant to use. Wetherspoons replied acknowledging the Supreme Court's verdict...and that trans customers can use whichever loos they want to but to please lock the cubicle door. Labour now being outflanked on the left by Wetherspoons.

sure labour are saying and doing terrible on trans rights, asylum seekers, Palestine, disabled people, the NHS, the list goes on, but it's a price worth paying for [squints] propelling more kids into poverty

Kind, decent, and compassionate, Pope Francis was badly out of step with contemporary western culture.

They definitely weekend at bernies'ed him for Easter Sunday

If Jesus had focused more on kitchen table issues and less on unpopular outcasts like lepers and prostitutes, he might have won more support from white working-class Judeans.

happy ten year anniversary to this post

If you're holding a slice of cheese when you shake hands with someone it's like you're making a little sandwich together

Wake up babe, new farts just dropped

Mom, come pick me up, they're coming up with the silliest possible version of the Great Man Theory of History

John Fetterman’s a disgrace to the oaf community. He does not represent America’s lumbering buffoons, ham-fisted galoots, or men whose heavy footsteps are soundtracked by a tuba.

low-key one of the most insidious dumb guy beliefs of the last few decades to gain widespread purchase has been this notion that demonstrating pro-social behavior in the hope that others would notice and mirror it, one of the fucking building blocks of any kind of society, is somehow ‘fake’.

UK Creatives, time to write to your MP, and to the Data Protection Minister, Chris Bryant. (www.gov.uk/government/o...) He thinks this legislation, with an opt-out, is a win-win. It's absolutely not. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

rosanna is a better song than africa

Actually kind of shocked that so many on the so-called "left" on here would celebrate the death of the CEO of the Shorten People's Lives Factory.

Hello friends. It is BIG GIVE CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE week and I want to tell you about the charity I am Chair of. The Ruth Hayman Trust was founded to remember an amazing woman who was a lawyer in apartheid-era South Africa who came to London and set up English classes...

Democrats are busy concluding that this worked for Labour rather than considering that what worked for Labour was being so incompetent that they gave the Tories 13 years to run the country into the ground until people finally had enough.

I feel like videogames actually do provide a pretty accurate representation of real life right now because a lot of videogames are like “THE WORLD IS ENDING” and then you just collect herbs and pretend nothing is wrong

I watched this video about Terry Pratchett and how he played Oblivion the video game and he didn't like hurting goblins and he asked someone who made mods to make a special amulet that made you be friends with goblins. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBI4...
