Hey, we should probably ask Mancs if *they* want Burnham to be an MP because to be frank, he’s doing quite alright as my mayor imo

The image of that child in his cute lil hat is haunting me in so many ways…

state-sponsored child trafficking

Mark Carney to Keir Starmer

Just reflexively oppositional, YOU NEGOTIATED THIS DEAL! If you'd not held the election when you did, Rishi would have signed it. YOU WERE IN THE FOREIGN OFFICE AT THE TIME.

Several things: Firstly the Tesco meal deal used to be £3 so you’re not even going for the ambitious number here. Secondly, get a grip.

YES! Being anti-trans is to believe that the world is as simple as it's described when you were five. It's to throughly uninquisitive.

Sorry, *this* should be illegal.

A lot of the anxiety of crime about London is just racism. It’s not that difficult to reason that conclusion.

You may have seen reports swimming around claiming that X finally restricted the Grok deepfake/undressing features behind a paid subscription. That simply isn't true. Not even close. www.theverge.com/news/859309/...

MPs really do delude themselves into thinking that they need to be on Twitter/X when it probably does them more harm than it does them good. Hell, my MP lost her cabinet position for something she *didn't even write* on Twitter.

I mean at this point it’s just easy content right?

Babe why don’t *you* point to Venezuela on a map…

okay what?

The crazy thing is, the video podcast is supposed to be a low-production value!!! You don’t need a set - just a set of decent mics (which are easier to come by because of podcasting!!!)

diva

Rapidly approaching my ‘if you are a professor, your opinion on anything will be disregarded’ era. More folks should do the same.

Fun fact: when Michael Flatley drinks champagne he turns into Michael Bublé.

Is the MTA making merch with the F M Swap icon cause they should be

Something I think that establishment Brits seem to lean too much on is the ‘oh come on, just follow the rules we set, ok?’ and I just think that’s not as effective as it once was.

On values?! What are these values you speak of?!

Uh oh, you have billions invested in generative AI: aftermath.site/generative-ai-...

What is this? A train for ants?!

Headline written by a Gen X-er too by the looks of it

Scousers rock, what can I say?

End of the day we don’t need laws to be clear, it’s more of a vibe based thing. Just like it is with underage drinking and reckless driving

British flag in display name is a red flag for me. I'm too Irish for you to be proud of Britian.

Looking up a charity on the Charity Commission and concluding they have loads of reserves is uhh... not how charity law and financing works.

Someone has uploaded a load of Veep emojis to my company’s Slack instance. That’s gonna be totally abused by me all week.

At this rate, why doesn’t Zarah just join the Greens already? Like what have you realistically got to lose here…

Americans talking about British food is them just telling everyone they fell for a Brit’s sarcastic comment again.

I bought an old ThinkPad and IMMEDIATELY installed Linux on it because screw Windows amirite?

finally a normal software license that definitely holds up really well

a real dumpster fire

THEY DID WHAT

I'm so confused why the Labour MP wouldn't want to be named on this quote apart from not wishing to lose any sort of political ambitions (which, if your party is doing this, well... I hate to break it to you but...)

"Thank Heavens Reeves froze the thresholds," says the median voter in 2029 as they walk past the derelict sports centre and down the empty high street to cast their vote.

idk many a trade union may wish to think about if their subs are worth propping up whatever this is

ugh, the idea of wes streeting actually saying that is a little unsettling...

I know a rugby lad when I hear one...

Maitlis, like all of the freaks on this programme, are too stupid (and egotistical) for their own good. An outcome where ‘this will close the only healthcare facility doing this’ is not really not worth the story.

Criticism of the BBC as an institution from the left is kinda wild; esp. in the context of every other news media organisation being owned by a billionare. I would really love to hear what the alternative is...

This is good from @manchestermill.bsky.social - even if Karney comes across as positively unhinged to the point of being a liability for the Council

I’m sorry but Akehurst is certifiably *insane* if he thinks people in Durham don’t want free childcare and free, fast buses

Nancy Pelosi’s trades over the years have been so good that a startup was created to allow investors to directly mirror her portfolio.
