Jesus Christ. War (excursions). What are they good for?

The worst thing about Starmer announcing a new policy is not how shit the new policy inevitably is, it's having his horrendous patronising voice fired at you on radio and tv all day. Thank God for YouTube (and ad blockers).

Absolutely. So many vastly more important issues (and bad people) that urgently need to be addressed and they go all in on this. Incredible.

Finally watching poundland White Lotus rip off #twoweeksinaugust Once again, Brit actors pretending to be greeks with awful generic "foreign" accents (with the vocab of a native English speaker). Cast by Death in Paradise by any chance? It's still mindlessly watchable to be fair.

What a guy that Elon Musk is!

This will end real fine.

Struggling to find every day office worker workplace based examples of good AI either. I know it has its superpowers, but they are not all encompassing.

I've had a huge number of obvious bot followers in the last week or two. /+Bot speak+/Welcome and thank you so much/+Bot speak+ And fuck off.

Medway badges. Milkshakes x 2 were pink but faded to white over time. Mighty Caesars was yellow.

I'm a Man City fan but genuinely hoped Arsenal would win tonight. Sorry to all gooners, but what a season you've had.

Good to see a minister push back against the content of the Blair piece. Particularly on the incredibly lazy "taxes have risen because of benefits" stuff.

Over 50 years later, this anti-Vietnam War PSA still rings true.

BBC just keep repeating Pedolf's garbage as if it's news. It's embarrassing. No critical thought, no questioning of his endless bullshitting. Exhausting.

Thanks James. Non-paywalled version below. Meanwhile I’ll get onto Slate - the original version used to be free

If journalists were doing their job properly, it would simply not be possible for the public to be labouring under this degree of ignorance when it comes to immigration. inews.co.uk/opinion/immi...

More fucking nuts every hour.

New research shows that more people abandoned Labour because they were too tough on immigration - and because of their support for Israel - than because they were too soft on immigration.

Wes Streeting has the aura of someone who definitely goes out on week one of The Apprentice.

Nationalising British Steel, great. Hopefully my steel bills will be coming down soon. Oh, hang on, I was confusing steel with water and energy.

To be clear, the eight Iranian women who were allegedly political prisoners set for execution and saved by Trump are nonexistent and generated by AI. The 170 Iranian schoolgirls who were blown to smithereens by Trump's orders were all very real, and all are very dead.

#deathinparadise awful awful "local" accents. Like, I mean Doc Martin quality. Maybe hire local people or do some intensive voice coaching. #hilarious

This thread is long, but that’s because it is so comprehensive and, in my view, near-definitive. It’s also very easy to read, so please do take the time to.

Jamie Oliver has just discovered BBQ. FFS.

The funniest thing about this insane statement is that he thinks this being true would be an argument FOR what happened next. My dudes, you failed to eliminate their ballistic missile capability and then both you and Iron Dome failed a bunch of intercepts! Can you imagine if they'd had nukes...

No #rsd here. It's boogaloo, baby. #weekendsingles

Keir Starmer briefly raised his currency by refusing to drag the UK into Trump's war.Yesterday he ignored threats of genocide to tweet about Kanye West and today, amidst the collapsing ceasefire that ignores Israel carpet bombing Lebanon, he says he is in the middle east talking to people. #hopeless

Re-watching the brilliant "Head" (1968) for the zillionth time. Good thing about my ancient panny plasma is I can hook it up to my hifi speakers very easily. An appropriate film for the times with it's strong anti war themes. And nice and loud. #themonkees #nokings #fucktrump

Maisie says "more cat treats and less doom scrolling to read about the global horror show purrlease" (She's so corny).

Take 5 from the horror and bathe in the beauty of The Carpenters.

I've got some nice (UK seller) US Nintendo virtual boy games up for grabs. Rare US originals. Ending soon retro gaming people. See other auctions to, er, see other auctions. Sealed Panic Bomber, 3D Tetris complete. Make my day. More to come.

Why would they release these, I’m crying

Hard to be optimistic about anything at the moment, but there is one positive development I suppose. Donald Trump has made the strongest possible case for why countries must turn their back on fossil fuel. And they seem to be listening.

If Trump needs allies to police the strait of Hormuz, surely there's an obvious solution? The board of peace must launch into action immediately and do their thing. A perfect opportunity for them to prove their good intentions and commitment to a better and safer world. No? #stopthewar

So much freedom of speech for those fleeing the imaginary Elon Musk UK "Sharia law and endless crime and no freedom of speech". Influencers doing what they do. No taxation, and no freedom. Big LOLZ at the Clicks'n'likez brigade. Enjoy the crackdown suckers.

Hell no. We won't go. Stop the war.

"I said it's quite bold of Nigel Farage to go to the US to side with Donald Trump against his own country. What did I say Roy?" "You said he's a treacherous self-serving sack of shit"
