This is why I absolute hate Thatcher, she made a generation of work-shy scum rich for sitting on their arses. Work-shy scum who're also pulling a pension they never contributed to.

The UK is 53% progressive (Lib Dems / Greens) and left (Labour, SNP, Plaid) and 2% "other" (far-left?). And 25% Russian-supporting far-right.

MORE/ A reopened criminal investigation is necessary. On a day Jeffrey Epstein was in the custody of Donald Trump, he attempted to destroy Trump's entire life with a damning revelation that would have leaked to media. He was found dead almost immediately.

Europe's right-wing shift is killing super innovative industry which could see Europe dominate. Real animal-death free meat: dead. European EV industry: dead. All so we can keep the horse-whip industry in business.

Does anyone in the #retro #commodore community know if there are detailed high-res photos of the 1084S D2 CRT anywhere online? I did some reflow work but have a red/orange cable lose and have no idea where it should connect to. It goes into the flyback unit. I've searched but can't find much.

It's worse b/c it's peddled by pundits and groups that are an active, extremely well-funded fifth column that have hollowed out the center and center left and are waging war against "The Groups" on the progressive left. It's all so fucking obvious.

wow for once I totally agree with him

The biggest disappointment of the Switch 2 is that there have been so far 60hz/1080P updates for games which really need it. The Xenoblade and Persona games all run like dogs on the Switch 1 and should have received updates months ago. Monster Hunter too for an FPS upgrade.

I didn't know Tate had his teeth rearranged this weekend too. Good weekend for dickheads getting punched in the face.

How about we remove all subsidies we give to fossil fuels over the next 5 years and use that money to boost EU production of batteries/solar by EU-owned companies (with rules which keep them EU-owned).

This

Entertaining as this spat is, it contains not-a-flicker of recognition as to WHY this might be happening. For 16 months, a tax-exile-oligarch-owned, mostly right-wing press, has abused the privilege of these exclusive private sessions, to misrepresent the gov't on every issue. This is the FO stage.

Nature is healing

Extreem gedrag automobilisten bewijst opnieuw wat voor pathologisch gedrag het is van deze ernstig verslaafden aan hun karretje. Gedrag is exact hetzelfde als van alcoholisten en andere junks. Twee waarschuwingen en daarna auto in de shredder met verplicht toekijken.

Now with the same productivity as the US, “core EU” also has more leisure time, higher life expectancy, less inequality No matter how you look at it, it is a clearly superior economic performance

Dat overgebleven statiegeld gaat dus naar de winkels / groot Amerikaanse bedrijven (Pepsi + Coke) en niet naar de staat of goed doelen. WTF.

Hoe lang pikken we dit nog?

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Four episodes in and the last season of DS9 is the worst yet. The last being a totally random episode about... baseball. Not even sci-fi baseball but fuzzy-camera-filter-made-for-Americans-in-the-1990s baseball.

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

FINALLY, in my third attempted play through, I was able to beat the infamous Wiegraf fight in Final Fantasy Tactics. This time I'm going to beat the game :)

We need to stop voting for the far-right numpties like the PVV/VVD/BBB/FVD/JA21 if we want to remain a wealthy and generally great country.

For all of Farage’s bombast and bravado, Reform is basically just a retirement home for disgraced Tories - and the media should be reporting it as such

Thick as mince and thick as thieves. A column about the absolute idiots European legislators have made of themselves over the naming of food, at the behest of meat lobbyists. You laugh and then you weep. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Trump Still Polling Well With Working-Class American Pedophiles  theonion.com/trump-still-...

Just saw this and lol’d (I laugh to keep from crying)

I strongly suspect that this is how "we" are "dealing" with the Russian drones. It's indirect and it is highly advantageous for Ukraine to have wins like this.

CIA Realizes It’s Been Using Black Highlighters All These Year theonion.com/cia-realizes...

I'm pretty sure that at this point in time, the remaining opposition to renewables are nothing but the tantrums of those with interest in fossil fuels and/or could not get the logic of "there's no cost to obtaining the fuel" to sink into the brain.

If you taxed every Billionaire in the UK so they only had £1bn you would get £1.1tn, an entire year’s worth of tax revenue. It would affect only 173 People. Tax the Rich, they’ve stolen all the money and dodged tax for decades. It‘s time for payback.

This is such a stupid and exceptionally greedy move from Amazon & Meta. They're quite capable of structuring a deal such that this doesn't happen. Now they have a country full of armed militia who hate them.

Former top NATO officials are warning that Europe must act. 🧵 1/4 ⬇️

Using Christian terms, these people are heretical apostates. Their rights system has nothing to do with the Bible. Nothing to do with Christian values. They're driven by pure unadulterated greed.

What part of the fairly open oil/gas industry conspiracy against democracy/the Democratic Party makes you think these people can be negotiated with Matt??

Mertz has been generally fantastic.

He reminds me of the kids at my school who used to beat up the Jewish (Polish) kid. He would absolutely have been the ring leader.

Can't think of a stronger endorsement for Erasmus.

I'm never buying a German car again (and almost certainly never a Japanese one as Toyota were absolutely behind this).

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along

Like the water numbers, these need to be put in context by listing industries in order. Compare it to cow farming.

Awesome we can do this to Meta et al in Europe, name the entire project after Trump, he deserves it as he is the inspiration.

I've lived in NL for 20 years now and I'm yet to understand why people say that the C in CDA stands for "Christian".

if tumblr dies I need this video to make it's seasonal rotation here instead just in case, Happy holidays 🎄

It just reminds me what an odious fuck Pim Fortuyn was. Obviously I never knew of him when he was alive but fucking hell he equalled his karma. It's just a shame that some nutter took him out, he deserved to have gone out to a lightning bolt or by ramming a rake up his arse or something.

🤣🤣🤣
