This is such brilliant archaeology. There's a bit of a persistent story that Britain was somehow culturally separate from europe in the Roman empire when it was so intertwined and connected by people and goods travelling. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

this is a good excuse to post my all time favorite Star Trek meme

Drag him.

Oh hi

get in loser we're posting uplifting memes this morning

Apart from anything else, this really embodies the Playmobil approach to workforces that politicians often fall into — it’s all very well and good to laud “frontline” NHS workers but without backroom staff the entire service would actually collapse.

This is so disgusting.

post after post validating the rhetoric, values, & worldview of the far right it seems pretty obvious that this strengthens them, emboldens them - all whole alienating your actual voters - but this government just isn't getting it www.politicalphilosophypodcast.com/appeasement

“And what is the charge? Eating a seal? A succulent Chinese seal? GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY PENIS!”

I think Transactual put it best (in reference to the girl guides) and now Labour too: "There is no problem being solved here, only harm being done." All to appease the right, who hate them anyway - shame on them.

The implication of this is that Labour believes the mere presence of trans people in a public space is a per se threat to cis women If this was about excluding people on the grounds of race or orientation instead of gender identity, it would be decried as the bigotry it is

tis the season

The thing to note is that all the lads were boiling with white hot fury at old Jezza, but they will all at very least sit on their hands for Farage. Because the latter might be a fascist but he’s officer class, and he’ll listen to a lot important people who matter rather than disregarding them.

Can't wait to watch STRANGER THINGS VS SUPERMAN on the new streaming service, NETBOFLIX+ NOW GO MOBILE ULTIMATE which I got on a Black Friday deal for $112 a month

this is tonight join us in a few hours

Correct!

as you dig through coverage of the Netflix Warner Bros merger, play a little game with me: notice how many of them mention, at ALL, the two decade history of disastrous previous Time Warner mergers, and the massive layoffs, price hikes, and quality erosion that resulted

No!

Media consolidation is bad, this is almost certainly not good for workers or audiences. I’d imagine this is the end of Netflix taking a punt on wacky IPs and new ideas because why bother adapting One Piece when you have Game of Thrones and Batman?

Netflix getting Warner Bros. is bad for art, but right-wing oligarchs not getting it is bad for fascism. The Ellisons already got Paramount and Fox-ified CBS, plus a big stake in TikTok USA and more. On balance, avoiding more Orban-style media consolidation is a good outcome. Such are the times.

Everyone’s talking about whether Farage was racist to schoolchildren as a boy when he was racist to schoolchildren THIS WEEK. All the kids who are of reading age can read what he says about them.

Ashley James, celebrity star of Good Morning has resigned from Girl Guides in response to their exclusion of trans girls.

TNG already did this: it was called "The First Duty" and it was perfect

This is where attacks on individuals rather than politics and discourse lead us Our priority should not be to prove whether Farage is racist or not but to look at the nature and impact of his politics and discourse This is all very well evidenced and not subject to plausible deniability

Toshiro Mifune in a Christmas sweater You're welcome!

'That is the majority view of a swathe of the British media and then by default, British public' EXCUSE ME WHAT THE FUCK I'm sorry do we elect our media editors? Are they not owned by private corporations of a mostly right wing persuasion, not to mention often foreign-owned? Get fucked!

these are all terrible options, and if we lived in a functioning democracy with working regulators we'd think nothing of putting a blanket end to pointless media consolidation these deals are always terrible for product quality, consumers, art and labor, but this is always downplayed in coverage.

Here’s Judith Butler explaining what this movement is and always was, about five years ago.

Even better: there’s very little resistance to any of it, even the ones that are half good are paralysed into inaction and there are flat out no good ideas for fixing any of it being proposed. We are fucked: this is as good as it will get and no help is coming for at least ten years, probably more.

Link Missing After US Military Blows Up King of Red Lions hard-drive.net/link-missing...

Not gonna lie lads, it’s fucking bleak over here. Trans people can’t fight this on their own, cis women need to start leaving and boycotting these organisations that exclude trans women. I go where my trans partner goes, if she can’t go I don’t go. We all have to do this.

What has the Roman military ever done for Britain and for cats? 🐱 Well, a lot, it seems. Romans roads are excellent routes for carrying soldiers, disease, ideas, and felines. www.popsci.com/environment/...

GANDALF: Can you see anything? FRODO: There's nothing…Wait. There are markings. It's some form of Elvish. I can't read it. GANDALF: There are few who can. The language is that of Mordor, which I will not utter here. In the common tongue it says, "Light the lamp, not the rat."

The encounter that took what was already a great #BearSeason2025 right over the top. Arctic foxes are not the easiest to find around Churchill so getting to spend time with this cutie who is still changing into their winter coat was amazing. #mammals 🌿
