Nice job, racists. I bet plenty of them will conclude "deserved it, was foreign". Get them done for racist harassment and the leaders for incitement. www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/scottis...

Cc. The UK right now

the Reform woman on Jeremy Vine this morning seemed genuinely furious about him lmao

This is just a very sensible and nuanced response that will be seen as utterly alien to a lot of people who cannot comprehend how this answer could even exist

"It will cost so much money to keep classrooms and workplaces at a safe temperature!" Better get started then, shouldn't we? inews.co.uk/news/politic...

"Well she was always nice to me." A line almost identical to the one a lot of women have heard from men who also want to defend the reputation of truly irredeemable friends. Yes, they're nice to people who aren't the target of their monstrous intentions.

If Burnham keeps on the irredeemably toxic Shabana Mahmood after she pointedly didn't back him for leader...

The thing is... I don't think anyone can be certain that the bombings of Iran this week weren't the result of Trump being upset at the US being knocked out of the World Cup

16 children and the teacher who died trying to save them will never be one murder. That’s sickening.

So far Binface is getting more attention from our TV media than Farage and that is, above all, very funny

"The UK should resist anti-trans radicalisation harder by taking the US example of pushing back and reaching elites through liberal opinion journalism." Pal, liberal opinion journalists are the origin story of British transphobia.

It's now well past the point that if actually taken to a vote this would have no chance of passing without Tory support. But under this Labour Government they have no interest in granting a vote. They intend to enforce toilet police by fiat.

It's not that the work was not done in the UK - it's that the "resistance media" (liberal outlets such as the Guardian, Observer, Independent etc) were on-board with transphobic stances *well before* politicians were. They *were* the radicalising elements that moved liberal elites to transphobia.

It's so unsurprising that Trump's hand is directly involved in turning the US football team's run from a surprisingly positive story into a quagmire of corruption

This is big www.thenational.scot/news/2625708...

Scottish Labour will literally accept anyone at this point. This is what desperation looks like

What on earth? They assaulted him, masked, with a sword, and claimed self defence... and got a not guilty? www.thenational.scot/news/2625589...

most informed American world cup watcher

i'm seeing the xbox news, and i'm confused is it like firing and closing the studios ala sony or is it they're parting way with studios and letting them live?

Very dissapointed that so many people who should be on the "left" in Scotland seem to be so utterly devoted to the neoliberal model of energy ownership. "Communuty ownership" when restricted to only those communities with rich members is just reporoducing the current inequalities.

There are three things which would be absolute game-changers for supporting parents: - Extending paternity leave to three months instead of two weeks - Free childcare from birth to primary school - Free school meals If you're not talking about even steps towards these you're not being serious.

Fuck disabled parents or disabled kids though, right?

I have been working on a personal project, the idea is an alternative to short animation 24/7 LoFi channels on youtube. The concept is a world simulation running full simulations of a world, displaying the logs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9SQ... it's ever evolving, and will be updated regularly

Middle aged men in the SNP being so obsessed with trying to play down Kate Forbes' homophobia after she attends a far right conference is getting a bit creepy tbh

Interesting take here that video games are following the same trend trad media already did - chasing an older and older userbase who have disposable income *at the expense* of younger potential gamers who are the key to the future sustainability of the industry aftermath.site/podcasts/aft...

Yes.

Reform's problem here is that they aim to appeal to a demographic who are, naturally, quite suspicious of billionaires and gold-trimmed dealings that could not be more distant from their own lives. They can't do that with Farage running the show. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

COME ON SCOTLAND!!!!

Kathleen Stock openly salivating at the idea of using the English conversion practices bill to sue trans-supportive families and charities. Something we might see more of in its current form than action against actual conversion practices.

I think there should be a new law on speech. Everyone who writes about or suggests cuts to welfare should immediately face 100% inheritance tax on everything they have received, will receive, or intend to pass on. Immediate penalty, no warning so they can stuff it in a trust fund.

If Wes Streeting gets given Education Secretary so he can continue his cruel crusade against trans kids in yet another area of their lives...

Every time anyone tunes in to Your Party (an increasingly rare event) it's because they're kniving each other in the backs again

"The SNP membership would have backed me until I unveiled just how much of a homophobe I am." In other breaking and shocking news, Liz Truss was nailed on as Prime Minister until she crashed the British economy.

The only way this statement is possible is if Anneliese Dodds has been put in a vault for a year and has emerged not realising any time has passed

This is happening everywhere. I wouldn't be shocked if Anthropic's latest financials don't look so rosy. www.youtube.com/shorts/MYG7a...

Under this standard the EHRC would end up backing the death penalty

Games will only be rentable on a per hourly basis

people are doing this and complaining about how vague some of it is and some of the examples it uses...the repo is a single index.html, friends. It's genAI slop and is immediately obvious when you look at it.

Royal meets figure who delights in the destruction of the lives of vulnerable kids and declares how great they are for society... yeah that figures actually

By-election today for Aberdeenshire's Peterhead South and Cruden ward. A historic SNP stronghold, in an area that swung hard to the Conservatives then Reform = not the easiest outcome to predict!

You could unplug literally everything in your house for an entire year and not save enough money for a single day’s standing charge, this is a pointless suggestion and any time anyone makes it to you, you should point and laugh at their face because they are unserious and stupid

If you don’t take a firm, consistent position on ‘culture war’ issues then the one your opponents make up for you is the only one the public will hear

This is deeply, deeply embarassing

Also... Fuck Uwe Boll for writing and directing it

There's some karma in Elon Musk's trans daughter being much funnier, cooler, and more popular than he is

Starmer doesn't control this. He will go down in history as the most anti-LGBTQ+ Prime Minister we've had since Thatcher.

A measure of 'living standards' that is driven down by wealthy people paying more capital gains tax, instead on being based on numbers of people hitting minimum standards, is actively misleading.

Okay but what did she say at the conference
