Vaccines are the tangible result of decades of medical development. Our entire K-shaped absurdly unequal imperial economy is the tangible result of decades of economic "science"

If rights really existed the only way to enforce them wouldn’t be retroactively doing individual lawsuits after ice kills you but increasingly we can’t even do that

he is biting me in this picture

stopped a couple data centers from being built and tilly norwood looks like this now. get on the wire to every squad around the world, tell them how to bring these sons of bitches down.

as a general rule: i will always trust the graffiti over the ads that try to sell you stuff by agreeing with the graffiti

Peru has had 9 leaders in the last decade so the UK needs to put its foot on the gas if they intend to take home the gold for this one. To that end, Andy Burnham must resign.

This is art, to me.

The people are saying it. Any Burnham had a good run as PM, but he must resign

Finished my Sculpey Jimothy project 😊 #nerdlings #minipainting #miniaturepainting #Jimothy #sculpey

Oh to be a chonky cat tripping balls on catnip in a sunbeam

Who's in my spot

This analysis doesn't even mention catastrophic local election results, horrific transphobia, pitiless authoritarianism or ardent support for genocide. But it does mention SKS being mean to Peter's chums. (And if this is an issue, why ignore the years of SKS openly telling the left to fuck off?)

Useful to contrast how when the left are defeated neoliberals treat it as absolute proof of the total wrongness of left wing ideology but when they go from total victory to disarray in two years the key issue is the personal failings of the current leader.

These people literally got everything they wanted in 2024 and still lost to a dementia-addled old racist that also bucks everything they say about moderation and polarization. Why anyone thinks these people have a clue about politics is beyond me.

Sarah Longwell said she would vote for Ted Cruz over Mamdani

This. “If we just agree that the ignorant bigots are a little bit right or at least that their views are reasonable, they will go away happy” is a hypothesis that has been tested to absolute destruction. It doesn’t work. We need to do the opposite now.

Starmer slendermanning it in your peripheral vision outside the toilet to check if you're using the right one has been the norm in the UK for years. He's silhouetted outside my bathroom window right now in fact.

Ngl “the USG commits a new spectacular class of war crimes the same weekend everyone is talking about the classical myth movie with a major ‘committing war crimes will destroy your entire society and ruin the lives of everyone you care about’ theme” feels like pretty heavy handed symbolism

pretty sure arresting pensioners for protesting genocide and gutting UK higher ed were worse in the public’s eyes than accepting ‘freebies’

I disliked Keir Starmer because his actions demonstrated a lack of humanity, whilst he pretended to support anyone in need, he picked minority after minority and drilled them into the ground, seemingly to garner a handful of votes. Is that what sanctimonious means?

Ultimately Starmer failed because he's a corrupt and empty man whose capacity for immorality and cruelty is bottomless precisely because he believes nothing and values nothing. What does it say about a press who once celebrated that quality in him?

Like sure, the fact that he doesn't dream or appear to enjoy anything that hasn't been texted with a focus group is pretty obviously repulsive, but it wasn't that long ago you all agreed it was a breath of fresh air even though he looks and talks like he's wearing a murder victim's skin.

Starmer's an unpleasant weirdo, but putting aside how that's not even in the to 10 worst things about him... it was the press who insisted his beige, robot personality was actually an asset, so it's a little fucked to see political journos now trying to autopsy his briefcase demeanour like this.

it’s something everyone know but still astounding to see what a purposefully kept-simple moron you have to be to be a senior politics editor in UK journalism

mutual aid = mutual. a system of supporting EACH OTHER. not making profit off the unpaid labor of others in your community

we can’t have nice things anymore because humans are desperate to defend the worst behavior in others with social work terms

one girl is literally trying to argue that “this is mutual aid and you are not allowed to judge what people do with it” bitch, this is not me handing a $50 to someone who needs money and then getting mad if they buy liquor, these are FREE BOOKS FOR CHILDREN

“I’m promoting literacy and keeping books out of the landfill by hoarding them from a free childrens library” resellers are the fucking devil

a girl on ig started a free tiny library in her front yard, and shes having to try and stamp the books/barcodes to deter resellers from literally cleaning her out of books every day, and there are resellers in the comments like “how dare you judge how I make money!”

Who forgot to tell Mr. al-Houthi that we do ceasefires on Mondays. Fridays are for escalations.

mum says it's my turn on the prime ministership of the uk

The so-called Minnesota 15 defendants are teachers, union organizers and transgender rights activists who pushed back against Operation Metro Surge. The Justice Department wants to try them as terrorists.

He was elected on a cavalcade of lies, shitehoused into power by our mendacious press, and then the Americans dropped him in it by linking him with Epstein via Peter Mandelson, which made the whole thing too embarrassing to keep propping up.

Trans women have been allowed to compete in women's tennis for nearly fifty years since Renee Richards won her case in 1977. It hasn't been an issue in all that time. Now they're mandating these invasive genetic tests to screen out trans and intersex women. www.devdiscourse.com/article/spor...

Its giving

I cannot overstate how important it is to amplify these lines of argument. We're in an unconsolidated authoritarian regime — and there's no line Trump and his inner circle won't cross *if* they think they can get away with it.

"why does the UK change leaders so often?" there are diminishing returns wrt how long each vessel can house thatcher's spirit. by the end of the century we'll be getting through 1000 prime ministers a day

"I trust the Honorable Mr. Burnham will continue my legacy & plumb even greater depths of indignity and barbarism the likes of which this country, one which has engineered multiple famines, has never seen before, only to limp out of office an even bigger disgrace a few months before the election"

"I entered office hoping to crater the Labour party in the polls and exclude trans people from public life."

Andy Burnham takes office to the second international condemnation of the UK on LGBTQ+ rights in as many months www.iglyo.org/resources/jo...

that's because the UN's scientific panel contains several notable x-riskers

THEIR effeminate, scheming, rootless cosmopolitan bourgeois pervert (who rapes women) OUR masculine, wholesome, simple and rustic, national-proletarian man's man (who rapes women)

I guess I also would be sensitive to be reminded that my company had to have a desperate advertising blitz to appease the growing number of users who hate my work

It is sort of weird that people feel the need to do this weird over-extended claim when they can just be smug and say Harris wouldn't have been good but also wouldn't have done XYZ.
