Nadhim Zahawi thinks London is now unsafe, because the other day a tired-looking man walked past him during the morning rush hour.

That is an incredible pull quote from Meta, jesus. Masks fully coming off.

we live in the ruins of a greater civilization

I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like a gigantic bug destroying the town.

Politics as told by Inklings in Splatoon

This was posted in the new Epstein files release and removed about 20 mins later. Wonder why that is.

Elon Musk, refusing: "Hey man, when can I come to Epstein Island"

Horrific new details about Trump in today’s Epstein files release, but I haven’t heard MSNOW or CNN speak about those allegations on air yet today. They must be afraid of repercussions from the administration. While understandable, it’s not ok. Do your jobs!

Last week, the Trump administration went to a federal magistrate judge to ask for an arrest warrant for Lemon. The judge refused. They appealed and lost that appeal. The legal system literally said the government couldn’t arrest Lemon, but the government arrested him anyway! Fascism is here! 🤬

The government’s arrests of journalists @donlemonofficial.bsky.social and @bygeorgiafort.bsky.social are attacks on press freedom. Two federal courts rejected prosecuting Lemon, but instead of accepting that defeat, the government has doubled down. Read our statement: freedom.press/issues/fpf-s...

Unsurprisingly for our times, this is a real magazine. I'm going to assume that the cover is the result of somebody typing "Shrieking balloon-headed child, strapped into brown woollen punishment suit" into an AI image generator.

PR has done their homework and is (successfully) getting me onside by talking about my favourite thing: tea. 😍

There were four people in the room with me and that’s five more views than this film deserved. Jfc.

Anyway I did a video about why AI is bad for the games industry, bad for the consumers, and the real reason these ghouls are trying to take over Venezuela and annex Greenland youtu.be/NwCQDsN6sBI?...

Elon Musk is a white supremacist. Case closed.

"Entitled white billionaire wants to decide laws" I don't give a fuck if Harry Potter was your whole childhood. It's not more important than the lives of trans people.

"English billionaire who bought a Scottish castle and moved to Scotland interferes with local Scottish politics so it better suits her." We used to call this colonialism.

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

The founding fathers got lots of stuff wrong in the constitution. But a minimum age for president, rather than a maximum, is right up there.

folks, this is some really weird shit. the president is not well.

Trump on Renee Good: "When she was shot, there was another woman that was screaming 'Shame. Shame Shame Shame.' So loud. Like a professional opera singer. She was so loud. And so professional. She wasn't a woman that was hurt like, 'Oh my heart is injured.' She was a professional."

It’s like a lost old man wandered into a bar and started a presenting a slide deck he’s never seen before.

A fire has spread through the offices of Grand Theft Auto 6 developer Rockstar North, following reports of a boiler explosion earlier today. https://bit.ly/4quEIL6

Rest In Power, Claudette Colvin, and a really useful thread debunking popular myths about her from @jeannetheoharis.bsky.social, whom we used as a source to write our entries about Colvin: stories.workingclasshistory.com/tag/11435/cl...

These are absolutely monstrous people "Mr. Thompson’s resignation came after senior DOJ officials pressed for a criminal investigation into the actions of the widow of Renee Nicole Good, the Minneapolis woman killed by an ICE agent"

We traveled back up to Edinburgh to be there as Rockstar Games and its fired union members took their case to court: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnui...

“The UK will bring into force a law which will make it illegal to create non-consensual intimate images…” Wait so you’re saying there wasn’t a law for that already?

had a thought that all of my best work came when i wasn’t trying very hard and all the bad contrived shit was when i was reaching for the moon. gonna try this thing called “putting in 60% of the effort”

BREAKING: The UK will bring into force a law which will make it illegal to create non-consensual intimate images, following widespread concerns over Elon Musk's Grok AI chatbot. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Paramount sues Warner Bros. Discovery for details of its deal with Netflix www.gamesindustry.biz/paramount-su...

This is definitely a big part of why. It’s corporate Gamergate from the world’s richest man, with the victims almost entirely women and kids. The response of the largely male high-capitalist system…is to invest www.cnbc.com/2026/01/06/e...

Feels almost craven to repost this, but doing so for reach, not clout. A lot of people love and respect Pat and may have missed the awful, awful news. ❤️

This is unhinged. A 75 year old alliance in NATO is being trashed to serve one man's ego. Trump is not a reliable ally, he's a reckless bully. Starmer needs a plan B to stand up for Britain and our allies.

New with @regret.bsky.social: Grok’s creation of harmful “undress” images is relentless. Even today, after days of scrutiny, Grok was churning out ‘bikini’ and underwear images of women every few seconds. Researchers estimate that Grok has become the biggest creator of sexualized deepfake images

Am heartbroken. Devastating news. Don’t even know what to say.

On BBC News today: striking that it’s the two old establishment parties - Labour and the Conservatives - refusing to condemn the US breaking international law and doing what it wants. Feels like politics stuck in the past, while the public has clearly moved on.

"so i asked chatGPT..." [remove from watch history] [don't recommend channel]

none of this is legal. none of this is normal. feel free to tell anyone who says otherwise to fuck off.

What does it mean when your doctors keep insisting you redo the cognitive exam

Properly insane how the US administration’s position is essentially that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

So, to clarify, spray-painting a plane is terrorism, holding a sign to support the organisation those that spray-painted the plane were members of is terrorism, but taking a foreign head of state hostage needs to wait for a press conference from the hostage taker for nuance?

we have not "apprehended" the president of venezuela. we have invaded a foreign country and kidnapped its leader. what the fuck are we doing here, i am going to lose my mind

A 2025 highlight for me was being asked to interview @writnelson.bsky.social for @lostincult.co.uk’s I Am Your Beast physical edition. Preorder it now, please! ❤️
