Working class Boomer hoodlums could build their subcultures around ownership of Italian scooters and American motorbikes. Working class Gen Alpha hoodlums built their subculture around rental pink e-bikes.

It would all make for a really dark season of the Thick of It.

In all seriousness though, Jeffrey Epstein obviously did not come up himself with all the evil shit the global elites are obsessed with - he's just the only one to whose emails we got public access.

'Community' is the most abused and useless term in modern urbanist discourse. 9 times out of 10 it just means 'people I, personally, am already familiar with'. It's othering, excluding, never accommodating for arrival of new people.

Turns out Epstein was an actual Satan. Everything wrong with the modern world is his fault.

Oh hey I found the lost Rabbie Burns portrait

What the hell is up with the random punctuation in Epstein letters, were they all typing on an old Nokia during turbulence

This is fucking grim. 51% for Reform and Reform Lite.

I keep reading 'moot' as short for 'mutual' and getting a bit weirded how many people's online friends met with Epstein at the same time

Looks like Starfleet Academy are doing ST Movies thing in that every even episode is a decent one. Though lore nerds will no doubt freak out about the fate of the Klingon Empire.

Mission accomplished, Comrade 川建國

Very curious how much extra engagement The Independent and Financial Times are getting simply by being the only English news orgs semi-regularly posting on Bluesky.

WHAT. www.youtube.com/shorts/phQSY...

Prosze panstwa, Donald Trump w dowcipie o tym Niemcu co mi wszystko chowa:

Instead of face recognition technology can we have a mass rollout of dog turd recognition technology

I don't think Americans are ready for Nigella Lawson on their screens.

How is a NEW YORK CONGRESSMAN less politically savvy than I, a random Pole in Scotland.

We need to retire the term 'doxing'. It's over.

NEW: Suella Braverman has defected to Reform UK, shocking the many people who were sure that she had already.

Very bold of the French govt to assume they'll still hold on to Martinique and Réunion in 2100

I am *not* looking forward to black puffer jackets making a cool retro comeback in 20 years.

Read the room, SNL. One off-hand joke on Update is not an appropriate reaction.

I hated every single word of this.

Never forget Farage and Badenoch promised us ICE in Britain.

Hopefully we can now stop listening to people saying ICE just 'needs more training'. There's no amount of training that will stop you from just shooting people because you feel like it.

What's the point of writing an article "Imagine if maglev ran between Edinburgh and London". Might as well imagine a Concorde connection instead.

Now that he's bored with Greenland, can't wait what mad distraction he'll invent next week.

All I'll say is US troops looting a French camp and discovering what their food rations are like would be like those Russian soldiers discovering indoor plumbing in Ukraine.

Well, episode 3 of Starfleet Academy was completely unnecessary. And will do nothing to silence the critics.

If Trump takes over 300mg of aspirin daily just to stay upright that means his blood's natural state is porridge-thick sludge

The lack of voting discipline among Democrats always astounds me. If a handful of Labour MPs regularly voted with the opposition against the government, they'd be now looking for a new party.

Petition to formally subdivide English dialects into Hochenglisch (north of the Humber-Lune), Plattenglisch (south of the Humber-Lune) and Mittelenglisch (Home Counties).

I've never actually seen this done in a non-comedy setting. Top marks.

Spock in 'Miri': "Measuring the planet. Shape: spheroid." Wow, thank you for that insight, Mr Spock. Where would we be without you.

Trump's an android.

Great too see *two* French-language animated features at the Oscars. At this rate they'll need to split International Animated Feature away to keep Disney winning.

But without Edinburgh Minute I'll have no choice but to believe Edinburgh Live's forecast of Week Of Heavy Snow As Temperatures Plummet

Why is ICE still in Minnesota, how have you guys not got rid of them yet

I can't find the post now, but I'm pretty sure I, like everyone else, predicted this outcome the moment he started talking about Greenland.

Wait, vibroblades are real now? www.theguardian.com/thefilter-us...

The Swiss will never forgive Charles the Bold.

The press loves Mamdani because they can pull out all the Obama-era scandals (he's got a bidet!) and pretend US politics is normal again.

My main reason for supporting independence at the moment is that it would force Scottish polling companies to do more than ONE BLOODY POLL EVERY FOUR MONTHS.

Welcome back, President Biden.

Cow tools.

This is completely useless.

This is Steely Dan of comedy. Same target demographics, too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhJx...

Zoë Steiner is a revelation in Starfleet Academy. The first watchable character in the series.

This is the kind of disaster that brings down governments in peacetime. (it would also be first page news in all of Europe in a normal time)
