Here for this trolling.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

I can't stand the general phraseology of "keep x/y/z's name out of your mouth"...like that's not how words work, what are you even trying to say? Stop going along with this nonsense.

My favourite thing about JK Rowling claiming she lived through poverty is the state provided her with a one-bedroom flat which she always refers to as “a glorified bedsit”. The “glorified” bit is: a separate bedroom and living room.

Not to downplay how awful this is, but this is the well attested phenomenon of violence returning to the imperial core.

I think people should be alarmed now because waiting until they consolidate enough power to carry out the desires he’s voicing now is a bad idea.

basically everything about this is wrong and horrifying but I'm stuck on the absolute fucking chutzpah you'd need to lecture professional military personnel like this after you personally texted wildly classified war plans to the editor-in-chief of the Atlantic

You know when Savile did that now infamous documentary with Louis Theroux and he was basically admitting in broad daylight that he was a pedophile? Well this is what Farage is doing when he tells Matt Frei that the Russians are bankrolling him. He’s telling the truth for once.

I have a formative memory of looking up into the gallery of Derby City Library and seeing a man in a turban smiling down at me from this otherworldly realm, the checkout was directly below. Reading in a beautiful space, packed on a rainy saturday, left a lasting impression that this was the temple.

Be patient, we're about to see a huge injection of capital into the comedy community, it'll be good for everyone.

J. K. Rowling picked a child to star in her film, and 20 years later, she still acts like she owns the woman that child became. And we're supposed to take her word that trans people are a danger?

It was obvious Brexit was a Russian operation before the vote, and I'm fairly sure I said so multiple times on Twitter (I deleted my account so not sure how I'd check).

Unfortunately we’re in an unprecedented era of rich people finding out that everyone hates them and making it a problem for all of us

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES‼️

R.I.P. Tony Harrison (1937-2025): from my mum's generation. It gave me a shiver to reread V just now, especially the lines in which Harrison imagines his own grave. And another shiver when I remembered his not-quite-sonnet "On Not Being Milton" from 1978: that second octet!

I cannot underline hard enough how awesomely corrupt it looks, that the SNP were d3str0yed over that, while this fucking idiot took huge bungs from Israel partisans to wreck his own party and then create a government that would assist in the genocide of the Palestinians. It is unbelievably bad!

He's going to do that made up Roman salute and the military leaders will have to return it or be shot. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Trump is not working to legalities, that's why it seems so fast. We're watching a crime against humanity unfolding in America, and we should be reacting accordingly. Cobra should have been convened but we somehow think we're immune. We're not. We're a tiny country that Trump is treating as his own.

A whole bunch of rich and powerful Americans decided that electing Trump and doing fascism was the best way to avoid culpability for child sex trafficking.

yeah I saw one the other day where it was explicitly advertising that they'd build an 'AI girlfriend' based on pictures of your real life 'crush' - but apparently google doesnt think there's anything wrong with that from the response I got when I reported it

I think the urgency of releasing the Epstein files is before he nukes something.

Reform are a Russian operation, Brexit was a Russian Operation and Europe and the U.K. need to get their act together and realise that a Reform government in the U.K. would catastrophically tip the balance of power in Eurasia in favour of Russia.

People put class down to choice and sexism down to innate characteristics. This is why trans people are persecuted particularly, because they threaten the boundary between "innate" and "free will" traits that demarks the current distribution of permissive and barred oppression, under liberalism.

Stop thinking of rich people as universal geniuses. They have one skill set.

And it turns out that various conservative and Christian groups in U.S.A are so racist that they'll turn a blind eye to this in exchange for reinstating segregation.

2am thoughts: Your body has to regenerate itself while leaving memories etc intact. So surely that memory info must be "encoded" somewhere. Doesn't it seem reasonable to think there's something like dna, but not exactly dna, that is a bit "writable" in response to accumulated experience?

This is a terrible sign that the "upper" echelons of American society haven't learned the important lesson from Trump, which is that the 99% desperately wanted an alternative to what was happening before. Trump is despicable, but "back to normal" would mean "back to the path that led to Trump".

The same bs they're spewing about autism and tylenol is the same bs they're spewing about trans people's healthcare. It's the exact same playbook and the fact that the media can see through one and not the other is a damning indictment of how complicit they are in the attack on trans lives.

What on Earth is this? An "in depth" BBC article about free speech in the UK that only cites examples of right-wing/ 'anti-woke' speech being suppressed. How can you mention Lucy Connolly but completely ignore Palestine Action / Just Stop Oil? Gob-smacking. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It would be nice if people didn't have to die, and it'd be nice if the end result wasn't largely commercialised and predicated on having private money. And if everyone had a house.
