You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.

Shameful from Reform and a good example of why you should never share anything by that godawful aggregator account, which just happens to be run by a Reform councillor. Obviously prostate cancer is a particular problem for black men, who are twice as likely to suffer from it in their lifetimes

The people who were meant to scrutinise it resigned because she and he wouldn't let them. And then there's that leaked video where she denied there was a problem and again prevented anyone with the authority to do so to investigate.

And Restore wants to deport Suella!

Back when I was a full-time debunker, I would have meetings with Very Important People about how to defeat fake news. What tools would we use? Apps? Anti-disinfo schools?? Warning labels?? I would say "support antiracism and antimisogyny initiatives" and watch the light go out of their eyes

Chaos on the streets of Lichfield as a rebellious group of Morris dancers go rogue.

Same energy.

trying to be mindful to not just flood my feed with negativity but between the Supreme Court ruling, Farage's open racial incitement and the BBC inviting former Reform candidate and current nobody Matt Goodwin on to spout open white nationalist rhetoric, a particularly grim day on this island

cool that we've imported some more grim shite from the US - a Supreme Court that needs to be nuked from orbit

I don't know what everyone's complaining about. Just go to settings > features > worms, then change the "worms pouring out of my phone" toggle from "yes" to "maybe later"

It's funny how they were fully prepared to change the law if another supreme court judgement had gone against well-to-do vested interests, but I guess that involved important stuff like money and wasn't unimportant stuff like people's rights

My policy pitch: give everyone in their twenties an affordable place to rent, and bring alcohol prices back down to Nineties levels, and reopen all the pubs and bars and clubs that have shut, and I *guarantee* you the shagging will pick up

Hey @royalsociety.org, your boy Elon Musk FRS is inciting violence again. These are the values you uphold and praise every day through your inaction. The @royalsociety.org will forever be associated with this nazi hate-monger billionaire. The world sees who you are. #SpinelessCowards

Musk, Lowe and Farage are instigating a race war! Why is the government still on that cesspit platform?! Why isn’t anyone doing anything?! This is clear incitement!

And everyone just keeps merrily posting away on X.

Elon Musk says "it is this or death" to endorse Rupert Lowe's call for the retrospective execution of the murderer by a future government. {In spirit of his Sept 2025 advocacy of pre-emptive violence: "Whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you.You either fight back or you die"}

devastated to hear that El Niño is once again in reverse cowgirl

Fuck

We have to get young people doing jigsaws. YA jigsaws or the classic C19 jigsaws, it doesn't matter what jigsaws they're doing, as long as they're doing jigsaws. And if takes a few books to lure them in, I can't see what the problem is.

Man tired.

The public sector burned through over £5 billion on Electronic Document and Records Management and now all we have are emails and WhatsApp

This type of consultancy told managers what they wanted to hear with a big pile of pointless, vacuous documentation built from cliches and templates and not based on facts, so yes, you can probably replace them with "AI"

A lot of the BBC needs to ve fired, just this and the BAFTAs alone should have *serious* questions on BBC editorial and leadership.

Quite a big story this, basically if SpaceX gets included in the S&P500, NASDAQ passive investments will be forced to buy it and prop it up. Elon will walk away with a big pile of money and leave investors with a shit AI company that also does rockets and satellites.

Marshmello's Coca-Cola (2022-2022): A watermelon & strawberry-flavored cola, given a summertime release. It was developed in collaboration with electronic music producer, Marshmello, as part of the "Creations" line. Available in regular and zero sugar versions

I will maintain forever that the lesson of the Corbyn leadership election was "have other candidates who have even a clue about how the members (and your base of voters) feel about the last five years." We downplay the incompetence of the other campaigns far too much.

What if the damage to Trump’s hands we keep seeing is actually due to weekly blood replacement where he gets new blood from teenagers that has stopped his mental and physical decline and we get to keep this version of Trump as president forever.

Was Matthew Goodwin invited on to #PoliticsLive specifically for his 'thoughts' on Henry Nowak? We need to know, because his attempt to stoke racial divisions was entirely predictable. If this is what the BBC thinks the British public needs to hear, then fuck them. bsky.app/profile/huwc...

The BBC have invented Goodwin's Law: any political discussion programme must include a Nazi.

New post from me: on last week's fantastic conference on Rewilding The Web. This was the authentic grassroots conference, not Mozilla's plagiarised corporate cosplay version. heatherburns.tech/2026/06/02/r...

"I wonder why the birthrate briefly increased slightly in 2021, 9 months after everyone was forced to stay home with nothing to do, then dipped again as the public mood soured? The only possible explanation is immigrants."

If only we had a national broadcaster with a mandate to educate and inform who could put out programme after programme trying to correct the dangerous misapprehensions that have captured a portion of the nation.

Also absolutely true, yes bsky.app/profile/jack...

Vapourise the BBC

I'm also full on gone by how the Procurator Fiscal has photographed it, it's got the same vibes as the Unabomber's shack after the FBI seized it.

Yeah, I don’t think I was saying it at the time, but I do recall his “I’m not afraid to call it what it is” speech shying away from calling it what it was

Oh, no reason.

So: 1) Iran prefers no deal to Israel attacking proxies (and Lebanese civilians) 2) Netanyahu prefers no deal to all alternatives 3) Trump wont escalate to force Iran off 1) because oil prices, casuality risk, etc (and might not work) 4) Trump also wont pressure Israel, because he wont 🤷‍♂️

Caused by Gordon Brown being caught calling someone a "bigoted woman" for opposing the Papists Act 1778

Finally, it's Reading's time to shine!

The tragedy is that, at least initially, Labour’s response to the 2024 riots was actually pretty good. They didn’t sit on the fence or dither. That they got spooked by the “two tier Keir” memes into going the opposite direction in 2025 is making my brain melt

When the father of a murdered son makes a public statement saying "we do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension", then I believe it's incumbent on any news outlet reporting on Farage's comments to ensure people know he has chosen to disregard the family's wishes.

Southampton houdt vast aan trainer Eckert na uitsluiting in play-offs

A pal was talking about "trauma dumping" and I was just, like, eat more fibre dude?

The plebgate stuff really should have been a tipping point- if the police could perjure themselves and close ranks to fit up a rich, white *minister in her majesty's government* what are they prepared to do to everyone else?

Totally. We'd made a lot of progress during the decade and a half after Thatcher. Racism was beginning to be properly unacceptable. But the 'legitimate concerns' formulation undid that progress and it's been downhill ever since. It was Labour wot dun it btw.

"Those same governments have actively worked against peace in the war in which 1.5 million Ukrainians and Russians lie dead or wounded" - crankfest 2k26

Indeed. The reason why MPs should pick the leader isn’t that they make better choices - on both sides the record is a much of a muchness - it’s that you cannot govern without the support of your MPs.

The Crews Hill thing fascinates because it is so Point Blank, no ambiguity. If Pennycook can't get this through, the game is up
