Because no one else has the political guts to say it, we will: #Brexit was an utter unmitigated disaster, foisted upon us by charlatans and conmen and we are demonstrably worse off now than if we had stayed in by every conceivable measure. #RejoinEU www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/zac...

Paid protesters? Funny how every accusation ends up being a confession.

Just got another "why are you posting photos when <bad thing> is happening". While posting photos may not be the most socially productive activity, it beats scolding strangers on the Internet by miles.

Elon Musk is having a very bad week. The man who bought Twitter for $44 billion to secure unaccountable power over public discourse is discovering what unaccountable power actually looks like when wielded by someone who understands dominance even better than he does. Trump just stripped SpaceX […]

Yet, rather than blame men for being shit, it'll somehow fall on Trans People going to the toilet. Unserious nation cannot self examine so blames The Other. Rinse, repeat.... The problem is Men feeling entitled to the bodies of women because society, or some […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Kid3 is going to another city for a mock trial tournament with her college team this weekend. Just found out that the hotel they are using is housing an ICE team. She’s got her passport card, which establishes she’s a citizen (since adoption, by law). Hope that’s enough. Fuck ICE scum.

/3 Anyway, I have a pretty good idea of what to do if she gets arrested by City PD or the FBI. But if she gets disappeared into the lawless thugocracy that’s ICE? Might as well be a Cuban poet.

Federal District Court Judge George Bourquin grants a writ of habeas corpus to block the deportation of a non-US citizen accused by the government of being a “Red.” (This occurred in 1920)

Breathing new life into an 11 year old Mk1 Nissan LEAF EV by replacing the original 24kWh battery (which still had plenty of life as a runabout) with 50kWh of freshly manufactured battery modules. The result: A car with a power train like new and over 200 miles range. Oh… and 24kWh worth of old […]

The president. Of the United States. Used artificial intelligence. To generate a video of himself. Defecating on the American people. And there's no mention of it. In the New York Times. Instead, they went with this pressing news.

Spoke to teens at our #nokings rally. Told a depressing tale of high school friends intimidated by roving Trump mobs “every day.” They harass, intimidate, and disparage anyone expressing “woke” or “anti- Trump” views. Hitler youth at its finest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitler_Youth

Stopped at Office Depot. Had to wait in line behind five other middle-aged people buying poster board and markers.

Wonkette for the win on the John Bolton indictment. “Did John Bolton blab nuclear submarine secrets to some Australian billionaire drinking at his tacky golf club?

Hacker gets annoyed at Amazon’s Kindle apps, reverse-engineers the Kindle web reader’s protocol (which basically sends each page as a set of glyphs in a deliberately broken variant of SVG). Such obscurity, much security. https://blog.pixelmelt.dev/kindle-web-drm/

Hot take: It's borderline a crime that we don't refer to the Roman exit from Britain as the 'Brexeunt'.

Ah, yes, the double standard. Kids do edgy things like saying "I love Hitler." Just ignore it. Oh, also, my admin is getting people fired and pulling their visas for saying mean things about Charlie Kirk. Someone should ask Vance why its only the shitheads who support him who get to be "edgy"

Some of the most prominent "Young Republicans" are fascists and overt racists, with violent plans for people they despise. And they're really unhappy that their group chat just leaked. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/14/private-chat-among-young-gop-club-members-00592146

Holy crap. “Can we fix the showers? Gas chambers don’t fit the Hitler aesthetic,” Joe Maligno, who previously identified himself as the general counsel for the New York State Young Republicans, wrote back." "Thousands of leaked messages show leaders of Young Republican groups joking about gas […]

Got a call with Caller ID saying it's from my Credit Union. They told me there was an account breach. In a very Indian accent. I asked if it was a breach or an incident. He told me it was a breach. I asked what of my data had been exfiltrated. He said third parties had access to all of my […]
