remember when they found out her staff was sending Epstein free Harry Potter Broadway tickets or whatever and then people pieced together that one of the censored correspondents with him used the same cutesy sign-off she does on her posts and then she illegally wiped her private yachts port logs

Breaking News: Abusive Conversion Therapy practices banned unless you emphasise the word "Therapy" when selling or promoting them.

Just some WIP henchfolk for the Inquisition War narrative OPR campaign I intend to run in August. Painting them in a somewhat John Blanche style since he and the also recently departed Ian Watson pretty much set the scen for the sort of story the campaign should create. #miniatures #40kinquisition

Um... This can't be good ...

Amazing how American liberals will flock to fawn over a European fascist the second she loses patience with Trump. They have no clue about anything outside the US, so they assume any, especially female, head of government not bowing to their own monster is some sort of shining resistance hero.

Tell me again how calling this regime genocidal is racist?

@gavthorpe.bsky.social Just started on High Khal's Oath and thoroughly appreciating you @squintywitch.bsky.social and @mikebrooks668.bsky.social serving us the badass old lady protagonists so that 40k as a *setting* gets to leave most *genres* other than cozy murder behind in this regard!

Moments after a student gave a powerful speech of how the exploitation of power and authority leads to oppression, the Interim President of Seattle University exploits his power to try and stop another student from holding up the Palestinian flag.

'Rosenthal is among the Hollywood power players who are embracing what they see as the inevitable rise of A.I. in film and television. '“Pandora’s out of the box,” she said. “We’ve got to learn it.”' Pandora wasn't in the box. She's the one who opened it. All the ills of the world were in the box.

The Telegraph's billionaire-simping, desperate, fascist dishonesty is getting more unhinged, convoluted,and nonsensical by the day.

TERF: You are not a woman Reform: You are not British Chud: You are not a fan Sabra Zionist: You are not a Jew Christian Nationialist: You are not a Christian Misogynist: You are not an autonomous human Fascists love telling people what they are'nt. Remember, fascists are wrong about everything.

Sick of "legitimate concerns". "I'm scared of black people" isn't a "legitimate," it's just racism. "LGBT people make me irrationally angry" isn't "legitimate," you just fear difference. It's not legitimate to wish you lived in a country with only people who are exactly like you.

Been a tough few weeks for long-term 40k fans, what with losing Ian Watson and John Blanche basically back to back. Watson's novels and Blanche's artwork defined the setting and therefore the hobby and the community for a lot of us.

Ok my pet peeves are really out in force this morning. 1. When talking about science fiction, the word "intergalactic" is consistently misused in a way that wildly alters the scale being discussed. Star Wars has one story that involves leaving the classic Galaxy Far Far away, and it's a huge deal 🧵

This is the approximate UK equivalent of the Rice Delivery Saga.

So Mandelson was in talks with Farage, and told Labour comms not to say anything "disobliging". But Farage obliged by recommending Mandelson as Ambassador. Something about all this stinks

We need to find somewhere else for those jeans to be. Careful, we don't want it to split. Do you really need all these toys? Don't go crazy, it's only for one night. Help me unjam this zip? Hold on while I fetch some straps. Oh, no! The cat is trying to get involved again!

Because it wasn't a debate, it was an oral statement from a junior minister, scheduled last minute? And they have 5 MPs, one of whom is on sick leave rn. Green MPs have however signed the motion trying to stop the Code of Practice. Can we not just make stuff up? How is this helpful?

The pro-Israel line that "Jews are only safe in Israel, WHICH IS IN CONSTANT DANGER FROM ITS NEIGHBORS" is always fundamentally incoherent.

#mediocreclberhavingfun #harrowall This route has been my nemesis/project all month. Every hold is "dualtex" meaning a decent proportion of the surface is smooth plastic that hands and bouldering shoes get no purchase on. It shouldn't be a hard climb, but with dualtex every move is a courage move.

Why don't you want Cuba to become a global power?

"Let's keep it civil" is often a backhanded way of saying "I am going to attack you and you're not allowed to fight back"

Could there be a better example of "the trans debate" than 98% of women supporting trans people and then one single lone person voting against them and getting their way regardless. It's all such a fucking sham

Morning all, the weekend is upon us once again. This week the theme is…defiance. So let’s see minis still standing tall. As usual I’ll repost the lot and if you like something, share it. #Nerdlings #FindFolkFriday

Greens need to win in Makerfield. Burnham is morphing into Starmer-with-a-less-annoying-voice in real time right in front of us.

Trans people are not “fighting for unpopular positions that society isn’t ready for.” Trans people are fighting to KEEP the rights we have enjoyed for decades. We have been able to legally change our gender markers since the 70s and before. Same with bathrooms, sports, youth, all for decades.

Zoopla out here trying to awaken class consciousness.

Irony: Streeting manages to be entirely correct on one (1) issue, and display shades of the backbone over it required to make some on the left give some thought to coming back to Labour if he wins rhe leadership. The rest of the party turns on him in ways that we would all love over any other issue

While a Prime Minister with capability and principles would be nice, I do worry that a Labour party capable of splitting the Green vote at the next General Election might not be a good thing.

Labour MPs calling for an orderly transition but unfortunately their government needs to be at least 18 years old with four doctors to sign off first

At least we know the BBC isn't yet letting AI write its articles. Because these days, LLMs can string coherent sentences together. The BBC have found yet another way to abandon professional journalism. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

@zackpolanski.bsky.social Wanna see people absolutely panicking? Why can't they just be normal!?

Wish there was a mode of politics in this country that wasn’t “slow and easily preventable car crash you can see is going to happen from miles away but can do nothing to stop”

Turns out that if you make yourself too toxically right wing for one set of voters to be able to stomach you, while chasing the votes of another set of voters who will never believe you're toxically right wing enough for them, nobody votes for you.

They lie and they lie and they lie

@cstross.bsky.social rereading The Jennifer Morgue, and have remembered in the process that What The Water Gave Me by Florence and the Machine is the exact song any adaptation of the book would require to pass through Billington's geas.

Wasn't the one upside of the Starmerites being in power supposed to be that theyd be boringly competent, rather than appointing certified security risks to top jobs, and joking on podcasts about violently deporting political rivals?

I wish it ever worked like this when I had Gebestealer Cults on the table!

If anyone had any doubts that BBC news is just another Faragist mouthpiece these days, their top story,main headline, push alter to everyone's phone yesterday was "Immigrants pretend to be gay for Asylum", and today it's "Immigrants make false domestic abuse claims for asylum". Fuck the BBC

Seriously @bsky.app sort it out. My discovery feed is full if pet drath, and apparently so is everyone else's. Please do something about your algorithm's obsession.

Ok. So.
