The funniest thing about Twitter was that its owners didn't understand it, didn't like it, and didn't know how to make money from its unprecedented ubiquity except to eventually sell it to some asshole who wrecked it. Imagine having the most popular website on Earth and not knowing why.

Fair play to Another Level for having the creepiest song on a chart that also featured R Kelly dueting with yet another younger female protégé. #TOTP

All this dev drama would make a lot more sense to me if I knew who Jesse Signal was tbh. He's (?) just some piece of shit, right?

we can keep asking ourselves “where do we go from here” but at some point after abandoning platform after platform we need to accept that there isn’t a valid answer to that question all platforms are bad and enshittification inevitably consumes everything

Actually, if you really respect people's right to self-identity, you should be pronouncing it "Bouquet".

I mean...I did wonder, because it felt like there was an inconsistency in reports the attacker was stopped outside and had explosives, and two people somehow dying anyway.

The area of Manchester where the horrific antisemitic attack took place is one of the few in the UK where Jewish & Muslim ppl both live in large numbers. We must learn from & follow how these communities support each other, as we condemn the attack & send love & solidarity to Jews across the UK

They are so fucking *weird*, man.

Hey do I know anyone in board games? If hypothetically we were doing a board game to tie in with the feature film, we would need a designer/publisher in advance. Hit me up?

i made this for my husband

You don’t actually have to both sides this. The Jewish community in the UK is not the Israeli government. You can just condemn the murder of two British Jews killed in their place of worship and you don’t have to say a single other thing.

Oh, go fuck yourselves. Jesus Christ.

the point of the biblical story of job is that god is a piece of shit who doesnt care about you and is undeserving of your worship. thats why we named wage-labour after the guy

Now, in Cambridge's defence (?), it can't build transport links to *anywhere*. The council spent years building something called a guided busway to get to St. Ives (like, 20 miles away) and it's slightly less convenient than cycling the whole way.

I sometimes forget how blue maga responds to posts about bad things other people do like you are the bad person

I was going to say that he isn't happy because they never are, but actually Farage seems to be the exception. He genuinely is having a great time being a total piece of shit, which may account for his longevity in the position of Official Right Wing Figurehead.

Hi! We've made the Put This In Your Ear Object. It is the ideal size and shape to put in your ear, feels really nice when you put it in your ear, and can be used to clean out earwax, by putting it in your ear. Just one thing, though. Under NO circumstances should you put this in your ear.

Ignoring bad grammar etc., what is "transgender for everybody" actually supposed to mean? How are Republicans interpreting that phrase, conceptually?

absolutely lost my shit in the middle of a teams call because while something was discussed i wondered what the early images of Lilith were and i'm sorry but look LOOK en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilith#...

hi, federal judge expert here! this is not funny. conservative, Reagan-appointed district judges only use epistolary framing devices in their opinions when they are in extreme distress.

Post a fictional comedian who definitely would accept an invitation to the Riyadh Comedy Festival.

They probably should have done that before going on stage and announcing their plans to attack US cities though.

Nonbinary people are nonbinary and they're trans if they say they are. Stop with the oppression Olympics and gatekeeping. I love ALL the members of our trans community, including enbies.

But what I want to stop is them being racists. It's not some kind of ontological inevitability that these people support racist parties doing racist things while saying their racist opinions. They can just stop. I don't have to meet them halfway.

if i were a would-be dictator whose only civilian check on power had been consumed by total-complete partisan loyalty, something i would definitely do is call an unprecedented in-person meeting of the only people who could stop me and then proceed to illustrate why they should stop me

Someone do a coup already. Jeez.

I still think Troy is a pretty clever idea - treating a traditionally mythological story as real history that inspired the later tellings - but I don't think that was communicated well and its reputation suffers as a result.

I've said it before, but Starmer (and all neoliberal leaders, really), have a genuine obsession with the notion of "making tough choices". They *ache* to have to do stuff that's unpopular for the greater good. They're convinced they know the secret solution to every no-win scenario.

I dunno about the rest of you, but I want my cardiologist to relax and rest rather than spend her off-time picking litter and sweeping the streets.

It is time for the ancient ritual of Awakening the Green Day.

A baffling assertion. Imagine writing these words. Imagine editing them. Imagine thinking they were worth printing in your publication.

If you're an lgbtq news outlet, your job is not, contrary to what you might think, giving every queer person alive a heart attack every morning

Hey Bluesky, could you help me spread the word? I have three creatures left at my Big Cartel shop. Each lil guy is designed, hand-sewn, hand-embroidered by me and takes many hours to create. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

I too would have won that episode of Mastermind, albeit not by quite so much!

One of the things I take great pleasure in is that JK published her detective series under a false name because she was insecure about the idea that her literary work would stand on its own merits. And it didn't. They leaked her name to recoup their losses. I hope that haunts her every day.

If you have a public platform right now, especially if it's your primary job/role, and you're spreading "we're doomed because of latest terrible thing" without any info to how to fight back (and context on how people have fought such odds before) that's dereliction of duty in wartime. Stop.

Co-signed. PinkNews obviously isn't The Daily Caller but at this point we have more than enough grounds to regard it as the Oracle of Delphi. It's doing the same "King Croesus, if you go into Persia you will destroy a great empire" type shit

of all the dumb shit that sucks these days, the dumbest and pettiest shit that sucks is the way people fetishize debate. i would like to revert to the old roughly agreed-upon cultural understanding that debate club is for boring friendless nerds

Laying the groundwork for the post-Reform strategy already: it's the Left's fault we lost. This is a government that, less than a year after taking power, has already accepted it will be defeated by the far right.
