Sir Keir Starmer has just been kidnapped by American special forces. In a statement from his cell he said "gosh thank you so much, this is great!"

Sometimes I yearn to tell the internet just how dumb I really am but every time I'm stopped in my tracks by the thought "they already know"

Same energy

I blame Marcus Aurelius for a lot of stuff tbh

Could an empire in decline do THIS? *launches deeply unpopular invasion cementing status as lunatic-led pariah state, its not clear what kind of move i was trying to do*

It's crazy to think that at the right speeds a fleck of paint could kill you up there

Similarly a big day to declare that the Prime Minister of the UK can't say anything about international law, unlike everyone else, because he is mummy's special boy.

Elon Musk's entire deal is promising that technology can fulfill all your deepest and least-examined dreams, and then being like "whoah, sorry, this one is on you"

*British government voice* weird how evil keeps prevailing, oh well the boss is the boss :)

wow, everything I see here is unfolding almost exactly the way it would if the people I have spent my career disagreeing with about everything were right about everything (even though, obviously, they are still wrong about everything)

Encountered this incident twice in a book about Wolf 359. Delightful.

The truth is decades of corrupt centrist negligence in democracies around the world allowed basically all of this to happen.

yup. if you want a good read of a guy just ask him what his view of trans women is. it's not a perfect test but it'll give you an idea.

One of the most maddening things about our current government is the way that they seem to think that if you find the right ambiguity of framing, they can continue to have it both ways and be everyone’s friend indefinitely.

Oh so great customer service is "wrong" and "disgusting" now??

Polymarket really has become the ultimate place to engage in insider trading on privileged information. I'm not sure we're prepared for what happens when any outcome -- including violent ones -- can be wagered on.

I hate that they called that shampoo "pantene" because it costs at least twice that

Today we're learning about the Battle of the Nile and the second most dangerous faggot ever to go to Egypt

Don't forget folks: allowing yourself a vision of the future you'd want for our country and planet - not the one you'd settle for, not the one you fear, but the future of your dreams - isn't naive, it's a vital cognitive skill. That's how we articulate what we most value. What's worth fighting for.

tbh i think their immaturity is different from that of children even. its twisted

Rules-Based international order.

In light of the NYT knowing in advance of Trump’s planned attack on Venezuela, this headline is fucked

Giggling like a child at this masterpiece

It's a big day for those fluent in the good grammar of civility looking to deploy decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

You can’t report illegal acts because you don’t want to compromise them being carried out is an interesting take, if true

lovely little logic loop here. the left have accurately described reality, but i still think they're wrong, so what if it was somehow in fact the left's describing of reality that perverted history to make them right. quantum politics. no fair, you changed the outcome by measuring it!

"special relationship" listen Britain I've been the most junior ranking member of a horrible polycule and i was told that was special too

If only there was some historical precedent about appeasement we could have learned from

I'm liking the rising trend of more people putting translations in alt text alongside the original language of the image, it feels neat and useful and good for everyone.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

Once a generation American imperialism picks a country they want to make a bunch of crap war films about approximately 10 to 15 years later

Big congrats to the Nobel Committee for awarding the prize "for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy" just so she could immediately conspire with a foreign government to murder civilians on the high seas then invade and stage a coup.

Donald Trump should invade the Falklands

i feel like i see a lot of "mysterious new account makes big bet on insider information" news stories and not enough people-being-arrested-for-that news stories

The "no worries if not!" opposition party.

You have to raise your kids with enough oppositional defiance that old men with no regard for them can’t pressure them into war crimes.

Standing up to America is politically popular at times like these so we can expect Labour to double down on their venal cowardly stupidity for no reason whatsoever

George Miller's Babe: Pig in the City oh shit that was a real one

Democrats clearly want a role in the regime much more than they want the regime to end.

if anyone wanted to violently kidnap Starmer and prosecute him for something random in your country, I'm afraid there's nothing we'd be able to do to stop you, since he's a lawyer and he says that's fine as long as the head of state is unpopular enough

There are suddenly about to be a lot fewer Americans abroad and a lot more "Canadians"

"the democrats are doing nothing!!" lmao grow up leftists you and I both know insider trading is not "nothing"

There are some pretty big differences between sharks and pilot fish too, and yet

HER: how many times do I have to tell you though, I'm NOT a writer ME: nobody's a killer until they are

personalism isn’t the right level of analysis. you have to assume instead that there are mini-trumps inside trump’s head warring for dominance
