Kind of wild just how bad the Democrats are at politics. Anyone with half a brain cell could smash Trump and the GOP with the Epstein stuff and Schumer will still be like "we might rely on some paedophile-adjacent votes in the general, let's cool it."

Starmer is gormless and goes with the breeze, Streeting is actively malicious and goes with power and money. Dunno, seems bad.

Imagine he said it was, like: The Da Vinci Code Spotlight Conclave The Pope's Exorcist

important to remember that we we talk about the BBC’s right-wing bias we mean in the way they chose what to report on and how they frame those issues, and when the right talks about the BBC’s left-wing bias they mean that sometimes the person who reads out the news is black

The biggest problem with rebooting Bond is that Bond has always kind of represented an old fashioned British cool, always stylish, the brands he uses meticulously chosen. He might have been an arsehole but he was always the coolest guy in the room.

Of course the real new bond film should be a young, cool James Bond. Plus a grim, hardcore James Bond. Plus a black James Bond in a metal suit. And a Cyborg James Bond.

The way to get around the James Bond is dead problem is just to make really good James Bond film and don't mention it and no one will actually care because the film is so good.

It's important to keep pointing this out about the many people who have gone the same way. Too often we suggest or imply that the trans moral panic merely allowed these people to be who they always were. Not true. We're seeing a process of *radicalisation*. We can't fix things unless we name them.

A national newspaper journalist went on a British TV channel to claim police stats showed asylum-seekers committed 44% of sex crimes in Dorset. This shocking claim was treated as fact by the channel which promoted the clip on social media where it was amplified by AI. Except... it's bollocks.

“We're seeing a level of proliferation of bodies & body piles from space that's unlike anything I've ever seen…” Human rights investigator Nathaniel Raymond explains how more people could be killed within a week in Sudan, compared to the past two years in Gaza. 🔗 zeteo.com/p/sudans-dea...

He started using ChatGPT for help with homework and eventually it ended up helping him to commit suicide... "thank you for letting me ride with you to the end" "may your next save file be somewhere warm" "see you on the other side" #NihilismAndTechnology

She felt within her rights to use the women's changing room on account of the fact that it was within her rights and also, as the article admits, following NHS policy. But it's so cool that British state media is going full Ministry of Truth to pretend the last 20 years never happened

A fun question. In 5 years time, what looks better? The US’s enormous bet & capex on AI? Or China’s equally enormous bet and capex on renewables?

Just saw a job advert describe the company as having "massive upside potential", in what I'm pretty sure is a direct lift from Wolf of Wall Street.

lol

"Centrists" need to call Mamdani a "radical leftist" so they can say Trump/Farage fascism is just the opposing side of an equally matched "both sides" conflict But Mamdani is just a middle of the road, European social democrat And "centrists" - ie centre-right and right - are simply pro-fascism.

Wild what honest politics, putting the welfare of people front and centre and pushing a genuinely optimistic and progressive vision can do. Hope and a genuine will to act beats fear every single time.

Air was punched.

VP Cheney will be honoured with a 21 gun salute accidentally aimed directly at 21 of his friends

Right, come on, Mamdami, Cheney's grave wont spin in itself!

Tomorrow will be a good day to be an old man scouring the front pages for a specific obituary.

What a lift it would be mentally if Mamdami wins. A punch the air, "we can do this" moment for everyone isn't, like, a fascist. Good luck, NYC and good luck @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

Objectively very funny to see Tony Blair talk about anything not being forgiven by history.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is no longer a Prince, but his daughters are still Princesses. Previously, he outranked them so they had to curtsey to him. Now, they outrank him, so he will have to bow to them. The Royals take this shit seriously, even if no-one else does.

The US before-insurance bill for this at an ER would be around $5,500. Protect your NHS, UK.

My name is Ozymandias, King Of Kings. Look upon the comic I'm in and miss the point entirely. Yeah, Rorschach is pretty badass right? And Dr Manhattan could totally beat the Living Tribunal, it'd be a stomp lol

This is absolutely right. It’s about creating a permission structure for violence, whether that violence is conducted by the state directly or simply permitted by the state.

This is all very on brand for the Right, obsessed with blood, origins and their very specific family unit. Loyalty to blood over bonds is what helps them keep people on line and oppress family members, so that leaving an abusive family is seen as betrayal of something sacred. It's not.

All of this. I still call my mum's pals auntie, it's just how it goes.

Big "Martin O'Neil back at Celtic" vibes from the RTD Christmas Who news.

Glad Martin O'Neil won out over the Celtic board's other options, AI Gordan Strachan, Zombie Jock Stein and a magic 8 ball painted green white and gold.

Cried like a baby at this, did not need the reminder.

Next Your Party defector is outing (V.C.) next to their signature. The one after that will arrive in a robe and bring a fishing rod and a bucket of chicken.

Watching The Diplomat Season 3 and the most outrageous part of this over the top political drama remains that the virtuous hero political character is a Tory.

Define nationalism

The Green Party's proposal for a wealth tax on 1% of assets above £10m and 2% on assets above £1bn comes top of our list of tax reforms that Britons would support, with 75% giving it their backing yougov.co.uk/economy/arti...

As Barney's body lay out in the street in a pool of blood, the Derry Civil Rights Association banner held by marchers that day was used to cover him. Damien O'Kane's father (@mckanedj on Twitter) kept it and donated to the Museum of Free Derry, where it is now on permanent display.

If an AI copy of me ever exists you have my full permission to kill it.

We don't get enough high profile jewel thefts. More of this sort of thing. But preferably with a touch more class? Lady and Gentlemen thieves, please.

Eager to see how Labour strategists will take this data as a sign to tack farther right.

Got my first tattoo yesterday. Can absolutely see why people end up covered in the things. There's something about making even one part of yourself look exactly how you want in a bespoke way that's very satisfying. The stinging the next day is not satisfying.

There are a bunch of dorks in the comments here getting mad at an opinion that basically boils down to "I think they should arrest Bugs Bunny."

Ian Watkins was one of those cases that made you rethink your opposition to the death penalty. Still opposed to the death penalty of course, but glad he's dead, the monster.

Watching Vertigo come back with a genuinely talented line up and big range of books is so gratifying. Like, punch the air "hell yeah" for comics. Like seeing an old pal come back and break down proverbial doors

@pickwick.bsky.social 16 years!

Badenoch's stupidity is like the feet on the Luggage. Every time you think you've found the end of it, nope, there's another one...

Hold on a minute: that's hella linguistic gymnastics going on if what's really being said is the police killed someone they were trying to save.
