Went to an anti AI datacentre protest march today and a friend of mine got a picture that summed it all up

No hospitality job is worth playing toilet Gestapo. No pub that excludes a specific section of society has any right to call itself a pub. The pub is for everyone or it is for no one. Fuck the EHRC. Fuck Labour.

OTOH it would be very funny if they cast Rachel Weisz

Proust Baking Company Recalls Thousands of Madeleines

ok but we’ve learned laws don’t really matter anymore, the governor should just act and sign the new seats into law just like texas and florida. fuck it

The Sargent at Arms blocks Representative Justin Pearson from Memphis from entering a committee meeting about redrawing the map specifically for the district he represents.

Five dollars? get outta here...

There quickly comes a point at which reasonable investigation of a candidate or party leader on the left tips into deranged obsession. Their real crime is to challenge power. They must be demonised and neutralised at all costs. Armies of journalists are deployed to unearth whatever they can.

Waiting for our esteemed PM, whose wife and children are Jewish, and took issue with antisemitism [anti-Zionism] within the Labour Party, to condemn this. Not holding my breath.

Always love to be reminded of this. A lot of it was hand-stitched too. Really amazing, precise work. Women’s work is so often minimised and forgotten.

Don’t be glad that Giuliani died. Be sad that he ever lived.

*taps earpiece*

I went to have cocktails to celebrate the giant meat grinder but then someone turned on the giant meat grinder and it was really loud and scary. and you're laughing

Dying in office because you insisted on clinging to power until the very end instead of letting a new generation of leaders rise should be seen for the shameful, egomaniacal act that it is.

For those counting this would be relaunch number 16.

i hope the white house sends vance to campaign for Reform in britain

One hopes images like this, when paired with the knowledge that everything we burn ends up in that tiny slice of gasses, would help contextualize why we need to move away from energy sources we set on fire. One hopes. Climate communicators should make some hay of this.

Isaac Chotiner: You say the two cats who live in your house are "Jerks" and you don't care for them Me: Absolutely. They are the burdens of my life Chotiner: It seems you spent an hour searching for special food for them and paid more for it than you do even for your own food. Me: That's--Hold on,

it would be crazy if it happens while you're on a plane because some of the passengers would start crying and like have no where to go for hours while everyone else is really happy and laughing and going nuts

one kinda odd thing I strongly believe is true about how our government works in practice is that the thing to do here is to form TWO white collar crime task forces and make their budgets/promotions etc contingent on competiting with one another

Robert E. Lee got his ass beat at Gettysburg by a professor of rhetoric and oratory from Bowdoin College and generations of reactionary fantasists have died mad about it.

"What kind of TSA PreCheck Member are you"

An elite squadron of losers on the no-fly list have found a way to re-enter the airport

Democratic consultants: To replicate Mamdani’s success with the young people we must appeal to their short attention spans with memes and TikTok Mamdani (actual quote): In the fifth century in what we now know as Ireland, a British warlord named Coroticus had laid waste to the countryside

Friends! I work w/ the charity Arts Emergency which pairs artists from underprivileged backgrounds w/ working artist mentors. IT ROCKS. This week, donations are being doubled. Spare £5/10 & make art better? ❤️🎨 @artsemergency.bsky.social donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05...

We went to Three Mile Island

shooting and crying aside, what does it do to the moral fabric of a military to unleash a hellish apocalypse on a nation of 90 million without even being told a coherent reason why. not even a "they hate us for our freedoms." what does it do to the moral fabric of a nation? i think were finding out!

im not particularly competent to understand or explain it, but i suspect that this failure to build even a false moral scaffolding for your actions is extremely dangerous for us and for civilization as a concept. there's prob a reason why civilizations have had these hero self myths and narratives

Look at the smile on his face. He's talking about Iranian children. That's the enemy. If he's allowed to walk amongst the people a free man when this is all over then we are hopeless as a country. We will never be a true democracy if nothing happens to them.

good morning, at the moment I'm typing this, Japan is in the third inning of their first game of the World Baseball Classic, and Shohei Ohtani is 3-for-3 with a grand slam

This reminds me of that Frankie Boyle joke about how Americans not only come to your country and kill your people, they also come back twenty years later to make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers sad.

Matt Goodwin? more like Matt Badloss

Gavin Newsom sweating like old dynamite watching Labour's 'transphobia & bigotry' strategy eat shit tonight lol

Me, pointing: “That’s Ishmael.”

came to the UK legally and all I got was the Immigrant Health Surcharge (lol lmao they're so scared)

IMHO, it is important that Woke 2 be deemed "excessive" by historians, "sweeping too broadly" with "punishments too severe." It cannot be merely a course correction, it must be an overcorrection. Nothing less will serve as an adequate deterrent against the fascists and their collaborators.

i really can't communicate strongly enough how much these guys rock youtu.be/0Ssi-9wS1so?...

CHOTINER: can't -- you just ask her to, share with you? ME: can't you just say the restaurant has a rule??

"I'm going to Mars" "I'm going to the moon" You can't even go to visit your children

Sure Mayor Mamdani is charming the populace with his good policies and charisma, but he’s been suspiciously silent on whether he’s going to implement crucial safety measures to prevent someone from getting sewn into the pants of the big Charlie Brown in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

what the fuck man

Been working on a piece for a while (and he just...tweeted it out) about this as the far-right version of the Cultural Revolution. They have no constructive goal, just a drive to make every "intellectual" suffer. If they could send everyone with a BA to Qinghai (Montana) to dig ditches, they would.

I've told this story on ContrabandCamp but it's worth sharing for BHM because it's one of the greatest stories ever. A thread.

Absolutely brutal interview

By-election latest: A Green Party source tells me the response in Gorton today has been so positive that they're reallocating resources to Denton. They claim ex-Labour voters say they can't vote for the party with Starmer as leader, so tactical voting doesn't come into it.

As long as ICE exists this is gonna happen. The good people of MSP have fought hard enough. Time for the elected Dems to help them out instead of some mythical non voter in Iowa
