Starmer won because the Tories were shite, not because he was great. It didn't 'go wrong'. He was exposed without the Tories to hide behind and he has chosen to deal with it by out-cunting the Tories, hurting the poor, disabled & trans & treating asylum seekers worse than Reform could even imagine

I have had more conversation with this lovely lady in the last 2 weeks, than I have done with my boss in the last 7 years. And hey look, she's still here after 3 hours.

This is huge and good news. And it's that last bullet point that really gives me hope. But, and I'll say this quietly, please don't get mad. I think Stormlight should be animated. I'm thinking like Blue Eye Samurai. It's the only way to properly bring Roshar to life and capture the action scenes.

How tf are you going to meet someone to "marry early", if you're working 70 hours a week? Go out and live your life. Americans have work poisoned brains.

lol, my boss wants us to "make sure the new cleaner does everything and stays for the 3 hours he's paying her for" on the days he can't be bothered to come into work. I promise you, I will lie for that chatty Cathy with my dying breath.

Wasn’t Glinner staying with him a while back? Is Divorce contagious?

JK Rowling: hello children Rowling: i finally know why the ungrateful kidss thesse dayss have been rejecting harry potter Barker: we all figured that out a long time ago Poe: clive Barker: oh i'm sorry edgar Barker: am i wrong? Poe: Poe: no you're not wrong

Was asked to speak at a vigil for Alex Pretti. My message was simple: a better world is possible when we take care of each other.

"We proved that you can bring a trillion-dollar security apparatus to its knees with one well-aimed rubber cock."

This was an invented moral panic. The NYT and Fox News ran more stories about trans people than the Advocate, an explicitly LGBTQ publication. It was the exact same story in the UK. The media fanned the flames of a moral panic.

In just 30 years affordable housing, decent healthcare with good pensions and free university has been replaced with a hell with none of these things. All so billionaires can be trillionaires.

Amazing. In James O’Brien's intro, he managed to mix up Ilan Omar with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, saying that AOC had chemicals sprayed on her yesterday. Incredibly on brand for a sensible grown up to get that wrong. I guess they all look alike to people like him, they're interchangeable. Hey ho.

God damm, how is my boss so bad at maths?

Asked my better half if she wanted to see a really ugly match I found. “I was about to say ‘how can a match be ugly, but you’re about to show me a really ugly match, aren’t you?’ “ So I handed it to her. “Yeah ok, that’s a REALLY ugly match.”

"Let's sneak in as Flies" >Somebody gets smushed. "Let's sneak in as Eels" >Somebody contracts Andalite brain flu in the middle of a pipe. "Let's sneak in as Ants" >Death match with rival ant colony. "Let's sneak in as Dolphins" >Somebody gets bitten in half by a shark. Bruh #BookSky #BlackBookSky

they couldn't fathom people actually believing in something with 0 subterfuge because their own beliefs are hollow structures built purely for appearance and monetary gain. they can't imagine having genuine principals because they do not hold genuine principals

noticed a trend this week where both the right and some liberals have been like "just realized the left actually means what they say about stuff"

They actually believe in something. May God help us all. *Faints*

Today is "Large boulder the size of a small boulder" day!

How tf is "student barred from the local cos people them annoying" a paper of record national news story level event. It is wild how the Gender Critical lot in the UK are just playing on easy mode with the press, all the time, and yet persistently claim to be oppressed.

I still maintain that the initial hype for Plopper was a full scale government and media Psy-Op, because they fucking loved the twee little England bullshit. No book series before or since, no matter their popularity, has ever received the scale of coverage that this poorly written series of guff.

Because of course she is. Also long as they hate trans people along with you, terfs will forgive literally everything else.

"The customer is always right" no, they are not. The customer is quite often a total idiot. For instance: "you under shipped us some stock in our order." No I didn't, and I can prove it with numbers. What happened is someone in your department dropped these parts and decided to blame me.

Jesus shitting christ. "Hey boss, we need to do something on socials for Burns Night, I was thinking a performative Haggis, maybe a whiskey and a book by a fire?" "Here's a tenner, fuck off down the corner shop and see what you can scratch together. I'll want the change." Absolutely embarrassing.

Just convinced an America friend to grill a tomato, (because he’d just accepted beans on toast) and it blew his mind. “What the fuck Greg” Guys, just hear us out with this! You put maple syrup on bacon, grilling a tomato isn’t that big of a deal.

My better half knows me well. But I’ve been staring at this box, wondering about the design. Like, how are those ordered on the back? There’s no logic to it. And why is Megatron a tank? This is Gen 1, he’s a gun. And I’m a little gutted that I pulled the dud. Oh well, thems the breaks.

A decade old?! 10 years later and she still loves stealing space while I sleep.

It’s like Zack is the only one who really gets what the real world is like for the majority of people.

What is it about boomer bosses that they think they have the right to just lose their shit in the office and start fucking shouting at you. Why can't they listen to the fact that you ARE going bin to bin and logging what's in there, just like they asked?

Hmmm, sounds like something legal should be done about this. But it won’t. Because 2 teir policing really does exist, just not in the way that right wingnuts cry about. No, the law only applies to your if you’re not wealthy. For the wealthy establishment, these things are simply waived away.

I remain to be convinced this isn’t the case. Been waiting at the bus station for half an hour for something that should be quarterly. And even half an hour and 2 missed busses, driver is still taking a break before leaving. Gonna be half an hour late into work.

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)

It still blows my mind that it doesn’t really blow my mind as much as it should, that so many yanks were so fucking ready and willing to mask up and secret police their neighbours. Absolutely sick society of right wing hate.

Forces/crosses update.

I'm sorry, but maybe those Secret Police shouldn't be "just following orders" if they don't like doing what they've been directed to do. Historically, it's not been the most rock solid of defences. Maybe they should have a look into what happened to the last guys who used it.

They really are the stupidest fucking people. "I don't bother checking the weather or bringing a jumper, because that would be preparing for a hypothetical." "I don't do a weekly shop, because buying food in anticipation of being hungry later on would be preparing for a hypothetical."

this is an excellent example actually because just like Greenland, Hawaii should also rule itself

I wonder if I can ratio her again? 4 likes in 4 hours certainly seems to suggest I probably can. Labour, stop chatting shit about the left wing challenge. Difficulty level is evidently Impossible. Starmers Changed lot were just too keen to shake those fleas off to chase the right wingnuts votes.

Oh no, I hadn’t quoted my customers yet. Why’s that boss? Yes, I know we got the request on Thursday. What was I waiting for? Well, you’ve not been in the office since then, and you set the prices. Oh, you want to charge less? Up to you. But this order is for less than a tenner. Not exactly urgent

I’m cry laughing at this. Exactly what I needed on a Sunday

Like, I can’t handle this 😂

The “Jupiter Greedy” discourse is quite literally sending me into outer space

lol just found out he bottled it. Hilarious.

Better half is away for the night, and I’ve got 3 lemon scented Yankee candles that have tunnelled, so I’m going to turn them into 1 candle about it.

The THorum, from Theatre Hopper, an early 00’s webcomic. I went on it too much in the library at boarding school, so they banned it. Took away my support network of friends at the loneliest time of my life. It’s why under 16s shouldn’t be banned from social media. Some kids need that online lifeline

What’s that old phrase about resorting to personal insults when you don’t have a single solid argument? Join.greenparty.org.uk

This but for centrists as well.

Different parties, same tired politics. They act like rivals but serve the same agenda. Only the Greens are offering real solutions for a fairer, greener future.
