every leftist i know is very excited about technology but unfortunately they want tech that improves society and makes people's lives easier and that's harder for wealthy prdophiles to build a trillion dollar industry bubble around

I thought this was a Vic Reeves painting

HELLO I WAS A QUEER TEEN IN THE 1990s AND THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST SOCIAL TRANSITION NOW ARE INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST "LETTING" US BE (at the time, for me) GAY OR LESBIAN THEN. They all rest on the belief that it's inherently better to be straight (then)/cis (now) and that's BS.

douglas adams was our most accurate futurist

The Trusses

New belief system just dropped, guys.

This piece with Natalie Fleet is - quietly, gently - one of the most moving political interviews you will have heard in recent years.

I really strongly recommend folks listen to @natalie-fleet-mp.bsky.social w @lewisgoodall.com - the most hopeful, thoughtful, moving and worthwhile political leadership and interview I've heard in many many years @newsagents.bsky.social

When you're skiing in the morning and haggling for a good price on an R2 unit after lunch.

I'd completely forgotten about Dominic Raab.

But even we ourselves do not fully realize the extraordinary, almost unreachable heights the Ukrainian people has attained -- especially considering the terrifying and irrational force that stands against it. Good night to everyone from the fighting Ukraine! 🇺🇦

Jim Ratcliffe sums it up: The wealthy telling struggling people to blame migrants based on false claims 👇👇👇 www.owenjones.news/p/jim-ratcli...

sir jim: sorry for BLOWING YOUR TINY MINDS with my GALAXY BRAIN RACISM I guess???

In a functional country, this would be a scandal. A service suffering only from chronic underfunding was ripped apart because the media created a myth of 1000s of complaints of malpractice. The truth - as in my family’s experience - was very different. www.thepinknews.com/2026/02/11/n...

idk how to rebuild society for this but i don't think people should be allowed to talk like this without it going very poorly for them

ALIEN INVADER: WE MUST CRUSH THE WEAK AND PATHETIC EARTHLINGS LISA NANDY: [responding before Starmer, sweating] the monstrous destroyer of worlds makes a good point, Tory liberal migration policies have made us soft STARMER: no you shouldn't destroy humanity NANDY: yes that's what I meant yes

I agree with Ed. Jim Ratcliffe is a Billionaire who moved his money away from Britain to avoid paying taxes that would pay for the public services he relies upon. Accusing others of ‘draining the state’ only draws attention to his own attempts to extract personal wealth and avoid paying his dues.

Britain has been colonised (by billionaire cunts like Sir Jim)

Microwaving coffee to warm it up changes its molecular structure, creating "coffee 2", which scientists do not yet understand

SARWAR: [loudly] I AM SPARTACUS! [awaiting applause] SARWAR: [quieter] I...I am Spartacus? [crickets] SARWAR: Anyone... Anyone else feeling like Spartacus right now? REST OF LABOUR: lol get a load of Spartacus over there

“Mr. Beast Salesforce ad” - they’re calling it the least appealing phrase ever assembled in any language. They finally did it

Oh good!

And it also isn't true. After young women, young men are the least right-wing group in the UK, less right-wing than women in the next oldest age group.

The incel vote has to go somewhere, I guess.

Fitting that Streeting, who rose by carrying water for the worst people in the world, should fall for the same reason.

“Ok, Trump may be a pedophile, but at least he’s still a racist!” — MAGA right now

I can see how the hate-filled will gleefully hate upon it, but Starfleet Academy is an utter gem of a programme for a whole galaxy of reasons they will never understand. This week's episode (s1e05) is a step above even that. I'm gonna go watch it again.

The Creme Egg Oreo is an incredibly powerful piece of work 🙌

Haven't watched For All Mankind yet? Then watch For All Mankind. ☝️ You have 52 days left to watch 40 episodes before season 5. And the rather optimistic vibe of this alternative universe, though obviously imperfect, may be just what you need right now. 👍

I’d rather have goatse performed to me live by the entrants in a Cecil Parkinson lookalike competition than watch The Apprentice

I think it was an original Trivial Pursuit question that asked what was the only word in English that ended with a "v". Wonder if that's still true.

That‘s the spirit.

OK well Sabrina Carpenter beating up a bar full of muppets while singing to them...I mean that's just pure entertainment.

NY Gov. Kathy Hochul’s press office has entered the fray in the best way.

New #MuppetShow. It's a YES.

Making it make sense: Epstein wasn't a global mastermind. He did not orchestrate a vast conspiracy that led us to today. He was a very rich man with connections to other very rich men. The shared culture of these men is that they have a right to dominate and abuse others without consequence.

Awkward for Farage because a good number of Clarkson's many hardcore fans are natural Reform voters and will listen to him.

This is what’s known as dodgy as fuck… Farage is in hock to murky foreign billionaires, taking their money to prioritise their interests if they buy him power. He’s exploiting people’s racism and anger to pretend he’s on their side. But he’s already sold them out. www.thetimes.com/article/660a...

I used to be an extra and Catherine O'Hara is on my "people who were exactly as delightful as you'd hope" list.

2026 is trying to do a 2016. Catherine fuckin O'Hara, is it? Who's next, every living kitten?

People will quote a lot of Catherine O'Hara in the next few days and with good reason because she has a lot of quotable lines but I think the main thing she did was permanently change how people say "David"

❤️

Quotes you can hear: What you did was impulsive, capricious and melodramatic. But it was also wrong. Gossip is the devil’s telephone. Best to just hang up. Oh, be careful, John, lest you suffer vertigo from the dizzying heights of your moral ground. Oh, I'd kill for a good coma right now.
