Mystified by the decision to punt the first time, let alone that time

protestors have painted what appears to be a tunnel on the side of the mountain, causing ICE agents to run into the mountain at full speed. disgusting.

In the British political system, members of the right-wing party are defecting to the far-right party, and the the centre-right party also mimics the far-right party because they believe the left is illegitimate—but if you refuse to vote for them anyway, it's because you support the far-right party.

Do have a read of my Substack today if you have time, it makes a convincing case for why going to the pub might not be good for "you" but it is good for "us" and then you can send to your friends and maybe they'll go the pub with you as well

CNN out here like "Woman shot in face, found to have been concerned before getting shot in her face about the guys going around shooting people in the face"

I really can’t bear this mealy mouthed nonsense that I keep seeing re the debate about X being to do with “free speech”. The question is should we allow and use websites that produce in house child porn. The answer is and should be fuck no, and the creators should be shunned from society.

For clarity, this government has so far: - cancelled HS2 north of Birmingham (previous government hadn't actually done that formally) - cancelled electrification of the Midland Main Line - cancelled West Yorkshire mass transit - cancelled the trans-Pennine high speed line

babybel implies the existence of scarybel, sportybel, gingerbel and poshbel

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

This is beyond shocking - how can this be allowed to happen? Why on earth can’t they be released on bail? They have a right to a fair trial, appropriate medical treatment, & the removal of punitive Prison Service conditions. Govt’s ban on Palestine Action is simply intolerable

What we are witnessing is the result of a society whose red line wasn’t genocide. When people can excuse that, it’s an indictment.

Every week is overwhelming evidence of what we saw with our own eyes, but which our credulous media was afraid to print: the Nazi salute was a Nazi salute

The Eagles’ repeat dreams are over. The 49ers, battered and bruised, pull off the upset and earn a rematch with the Seahawks in Seattle.

Ohhhh Brock. I love you but that was a terrible decision

Hard to be angry at this D but it’s a difficult watch sometimes

Ice on ICE violence

That’s how you start a football game!

Watch this whole video of Jesse Ventura. Watch the whole thing. youtu.be/udSUbBhA8I0?...

Ah here. The 10 o’clock news on BBV Radio 4 is leading with ‘JD Vance has described a woman shot dead by an ICE officer in Minnesota as a deranged leftist carrying out a terrorist attack’ This is not public service broadcasting

“If everybody always lies to you, the consequence is not that you believe the lies, but rather that nobody believes anything any longer… And a people that no longer can believe anything cannot make up its mind…And with such a people you can then do what you please.” Hannah Arendt

i know we're all busy but i just overheard a plumber say "parlez-vous français ? non ? you motherfuckers don't even speak french, do you" to a pair of french bulldogs

Again, "I only make CSAM for money" would not help an ordinary person's defence, but would aggravate their sentencing.

Here is the list of the MPs who were officers and supporters of Labour Friends of Israel before it suddenly removed this page from its website.

If a new app was produced which had, as its core features, the generation of sexual deep fake images of children and calls for a violent global far-right revolution, then not only would it be swiftly banned, but you wouldn't have a single mainstream politician willing to associate themselves with it

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

It is interesting to note where we are in terms of the dying Empire. We are no longer lying about colonial imperialism and the use of force abroad. We are still lying about the violence being used in the imperial core. One wonders how long that will continue.

Bloomberg's X account has more than 800k followers. Their most recent post was shared five times It would basically come at close to zero cost for outlets like Bloomberg to delete their X accounts, and "We don't want to use a non-consensual deepfake abuse app as a comms platform" is a fine excuse

It's so quaint how in the 90s we worried that kids were gonna get fucked up by tamagotchis and now they're just giving every kid a free robot that generates child porn and tells you how to commit suicide

Anyone not actively involved in impeaching and no other activity should just resign. There is no government until he is gone. Pretending otherwise props up him, not government.

I am extremely confused as to why the UK government and police are saying Grok’s mass-scale CSAM generation is an issue for Ofcom. This isn’t about X failing to moderate CSAM, which is an Online Safety Act issue. It is about the company and its technology being actively involved in its generation.

Again, this is fun I think and this is the ideal time to catch up because no new episodes for two weeks. Because I literally make it by persuading friends to be in it.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

Haha, there’s no way that was onside. I’ll take it, but it’s not on.

Remember: It is a mystery to every journalist and pundit why this Labour government are so roundly and universally detested.

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

there's a lot of good ones but for me it's gotta be "put baby in pelican mouth"

I can't recall where this originated but I'll never ever stop laughing at it.

fwiw it’s been about six weeks since Trump pardoned the former president of Honduras who had been convicted of trafficking drugs into the US

The problem with "we need to get back to normal" is that's what Biden's 2020 win was and you got: more Trump. You won't defeat Modern Fascism That Was Able To Thrive In This System with more of: this system. I know you're glazing Newsome and Buttigieg but they're a one-way ticket to Tucker 2032.

Instead of everybody making the same joke about the FIFA Peace Prize, maybe we could boycott the World Cup?

Stop reporting on what a chatbot spits out about its internal processes and start holding the people who own the tech accountable.

Look I know we all hate scolds but c'mon what are some of you still doing on Twitter, man. Just enabling the absolute worst people in society to do and amplify horrendous things for the sake of, what? Sport bants? To promote your stuff? Is it worth it?

call me crazy but it really feels like “World’s Richest Man Creates AI Chatbot That Generates Child Porn” would’ve been a huge international outrage requiring a governmental crackdown not even 24 months ago

Anti-populists try to create the impression that they are the reasonable centre ground between two equally dangerous extremes It doesn't take much to see this spectrum is a fantasy: - Trump, Farage and the far right are a clear threat to democracy while Mamdani, Polanski and the left are not 1/

damocles, dude, you absolutely cannot put your sword there. come on man
