"Rob's followers saw an incredible discount. The price was far lower than it should have been, too tempting for the savvy gamer to pass up. They knew they had to pick up a key."

A petit bourgeoisie you say, that sees its lifestyle and social position under threat you say? Finding exterior enemies and explanations from a rapidly growing facist movement, you say? Nope. Doesn't ring a bell.

ah fuck and it worked so well the last time too

At what point does losing 77 billion dollars impact a business? The global box office for all movies, put together, in total, all movies everywhere in 2025 was 33.5 billion dollars. He lost more than double that on “legs”

I put myself through the entire interview. Trust me when I tell you that Gavin "dank memes" Newsom agrees with him on EVERYTHING. I literally says "I agree with you" on EVERYTHING. Ben "extremely unpopular even with MAGA" Shapiro gets very combative with him and Gavin capitulates EVERY time.

if i were starmer looking at these numbers i would resign and go into exile somewhere. how does he get out of bed without dying of shame. he should be studied by scientists

that's an mp conflating the flag of pakistan with islamism and then making a reference to cancer we used to make mps resign for less

i’m a little confused about how “abolish ICE” requires too much explaining to be good politics, but a set of opaque incremental reforms does not.

You'd think a failing government with a giant majority, facing a generational electoral wipeout might consider saving their own bacon by introducing PR but Labour seem incapable of self-preservation

Does this tell us anything about the wisdom and good intentions of people who not only swore up and down this government would be great, but fought tooth and nail for about six years to inflict it upon every man, woman and child in the country with as few internal restraints as possible

This should share the Pulitzer photography prize with the subject

This Tweet is evergreen Nigel Farage

Is there anything more furiously American than declaring yourself superior on the basis of something you haven't read, because if you did you'd find out it is also by an American?

One of the things about people showing up to protest for the first time, that many, many armchair theorists don't grasp, is the effect of seeing what happens with your own eyes, then seeing how media covers it, and what is said ABOUT YOU by media and political personalities/office holders.

This dude is intense and correct

Every episode of TOS was about racial discrimination, every ep of next gen was about Riker encouraging bisexual orgies, every episode of DS9 was about revolutionary politics, and every episode of Voyager was about an adult catman hosting a morning cooking show, so, alright, not all of them but most

Right but a Palestinian flag is unacceptable antisemitism

if they can successfully make the images not viewable from the UK, then they can successfully identify them and are actively choosing to allow them to continue to exist for everyone else (much like pre-Musk Twitter hid certain Nazi adjacent accounts but only in Germany)

Jenrick defection probably the dumbest thing he could have done. He could have been the top race science guy in the tory party, but now he's going to be a run-of-the-mill race science guy who needs to impress guys who believe a secret sect of Brown people control the traffic lights

This leads me to believe that up until this meeting, Trump absolutely thought it was "hole milk."

In the grand scheme this is not the most important thing that happened today. But "protesters eagerly sift through the equipment and papers left behind by the regime's routed elite security forces" historically happens at a much later stage of regime collapse than this.

It wasn’t the racism. It wasn’t the rule breaking. It wasn’t the corruption. No Jenrick gets removed for plotting. Politics for too many leaders is just a game, and not a moral one. It’s why people are crying out for hope.

I like how she doesn't say to which party. Is he planning on reviving CUK

Sums up how rubbish Badenoch is that she has been forced into a “You’re dumping me? I’m dumping you!” rather than just sacking and disbarring Jenrick over the many, many things that would have kept him out of any Tory Cabinet since 1968.

This benefits Farage now because he can cry conspiracy and it will benefit Farage in government because he'll be able to cancel elections he doesn't want now that there's precedent. All Starmer knows how to do is hand the country to Reform piece by piece

Delaying elections because the ruling party is going to get an absolute shoeing from the voters, and because you haven't sorted your local govt reform out, is pure Starmerism. It's petty, will make people hate them more, and they'll try and spin it, and make it worse.

This is clearly depressing and radicalising in a way a tax wouldn't have been.

Matt Walsh watching YouTube for 3 year olds and getting furious

If you don’t pay attention to UK politics, “what is their policy on civil servants wearing fetish clothing in the workplace” sounds absurd because noone wears gimp masks to their office job. If you do, you immediately know she wants a policy prohibiting trans women from wearing skirts or dresses.

It’s actually really good to see how insane our politicians have become now

Every single fucking time, I swear.

Funny how “most divorced woman ever” and “most divorced man ever” have such diametrically opposed energies

Hey America got its own Talking Pints with Nigel Farage

🚨 NEW | Starmer set to lose seat to Greens 🟢 GRN: 32% (+22) 🔴 LAB: 26% (-23) ➡️ REF: 18% (+12) 🔵 CON: 7% (=) 🟠 LD: 5% (=) 🟥 YRP: 2% (-17)* MRP estimate via @ElectCalculus, 1-8 Dec

Yeah. It's a sign of a huge collective failure of understanding and an inability to get to the heart of things that so few immediately got 'there is no level of convenience or ease of service that means you ignore the state's most fundamental duties'.

grown adults, some of whom are legislators, are also addicted to the slop

We don’t dance on the grave of NFTs enough. I had a year where I was repeatedly told by bozos I was going to be irrelevant and extinct for not embracing them, I should be allowed a victory lap.

I think the reluctance to ban X (matter for Ofcom) while focusing on the freaks making CSAM is pretty diagnostic of neo liberalism in general. The weight of the law, taxes and responsibilities increasingly falls on individuals because governments will not accept curtailing capital/corporations.

I felt this with Hogwarts Legacy. So many people wrapped themselves in knots trying to intellectualize why it was actually the moral thing to fund transphobia to play pretend as a wizard and I'd genuinely have preferred they just be like "this is a part of me that's just a bit busted"

Not the point, but- People say that the left seeks enemies while the right seeks converts, but I think we just have a higher standard for converts. Ashley's response here seems sincere and thought out and I think she'll find herself a lot of new allies in this fight

Ultimately it’s not a hard question, or shouldn’t be: if there were a website called creepywank dot org, where you could upload any picture or screengrab of anyone and get AI to produce a photorealistic picture of that person, regardless of age, in a state of undress…should it be legal in the UK?

Just in case there's anybody who doesn't know or remember who this is, it is the nepo baby who they ran against Corbyn in Islington North. CEO of his family private healthcare corporation I believe. Nothing rewarded in the labour right quite like failure.

Its always fascinating to see how real societal issues filter up to the professional virtue signalling class. "Be Good" is a masterpiece of the genre- completely banal unless you know, and so anodyne to be galling if you do

KO'ing everyone's 401k the week they started bragging about murdering citizens in the street on camera is the behavior of people who are on actual drugs. Not metaphorically, it's the behavior of people with underlying mental illness on uppers and steroids who are starting to feel cornered.

The animating force at the heart of US conservatism currently is incandescent rage at the mere idea of women's autonomy and independence. An image of a smiling woman who looks insufficiently deferential for their tastes riles them up enough to tear up the social contract.

I promise you, if you want a good laugh, you'll want to check out who the government has appointed as a "Skills Adviser" www.gov.uk/government/n...

Nigel Farage on GB News in 2022: "I thought Zahawi had principles. Tonight we learn he's just about climbing that greasy pole, as so many of them are" Nadhim Zahawi has just joined Reform.

So this really is the Tory party Mk2 then
