Slow clap, bigots.

there are like 50 people in the country who want the UK to get involved in the Iran War, one of them is Kemi Badenoch, one of them is Nigel Farage, and the other 48 are newspaper columnists

BBC Question Time host Fiona Bruce was left stunned due to the live audience's reaction after being asked if they believed the UK should be involved in the war in the Middle East

The cruelty is the point

Let me start a belated thread of Aotearoa New Zealand silvan birds. To lead things off, a New Zealand Bellbird photographed on Kapiti Island.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion. That's roughly $1 billion per day. $41,666,667 per hour. $11,574 per second. People do not want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

*long sigh*

🧵 Prediction: Trump pardons them all (again)

your new DHS secretary, everyone:

Good luck to Markwayne Jimbob Bubbaman, ready on day one to show the courage that leading the Department of Homeland Security requires.

The Shield of the Americas?

Dear Shabana, Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

September what year?

Labour recycling <checks notes> BNP policy from 15 years ago. How's that massive slide to the right feeling Labour pals? Cause I'm not even in the Labour Party and it makes me feel sick.🤮

British.

What is this; an orange for ANTS?!

Oh wait, I think I know this one

The subject is the Greater Israel project, Netanyahu's admission he's been waiting 30 years to decimate Iran - and his joy in finding a US President dumb enough to do it. If Cypriots on a divided island can see what danger Israel is through its exploitation of a British base, why can't a British PM?

I'm sorry but wtf is this

Trans people are at risk because the UK have banned trans youth healthcare, and adult HRT pathways are unfit for purpose. If you want to stop DIY HRT or 'black market trans hormones' then lift the fucking ban and make all types of HRT free and accessible through NHS GPs. It's not rocket science.

A lobbyist who worked directly for Peter Mandelson, on the Palantir board, and on the board of *four* NHS trusts. Lobbying the NHS to hand over even more patient data to Palantir. This absolutely stinks. Get Palantir out of the NHS. Sign my petition: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

All bathed in that triumphant Gorton & Denton win

I mean yes, of course we should fight against right-wing propaganda, but I don't think Starmer is given any credit for trying to walk an extremely delicate highwire.

Why am I awake this is rubbish

Some #DailyFrank paw action

Ok but they do fish and dinosaurs so I may have to buy more childish bottles

Needed some nonsense to watch and they're playing Queensryche in this episode of Supernatural

Politics FACT: In the House of Commons, the Chief Whip is the one with a walnut on his head

Labour could bring back our water into public hands but they care more about investors than they do about you

I have that 'curried eyeballs' sensation which comes with impending sickness :/

Honestly I gotta hand it to Trump. If someone had told me they had a plan to get 23% of the GOP to support abolishing ICE I would have called them a liar. Any democrat who isn't all in on this is either deeply committed to cruelty or has the political instincts of a half-baked potato.

this is not an amount of money any individual or household should be able to have and we have to abolish both billionaires as a group and the economic system that makes them possible

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... This!! Tell the kids and the grandchildren too!

Oh god remember this. June 2023.

Just had my water bottle choice mocked for being "childish". Why wouldn't you want a bit of whimsy and joy where you can get it? Being an adult is rubbish.

After losing in court one can now safely mention that the Müller brand of milk products is owned by an AfD (Germany's officially declared "extreme right wing" party) supporting billionaire. Whose giant family relocated to Switzerland in 2003 btw, to avoid 30% inheritance tax when he passes.

Labour quoting Hannah Spencer's victory speech.

Starmer and Mahmood going "this seems sound, actually"

What we need is this but Starmer actually saying “fuck off rape boy and take your Top Gun bullshit and ram it up your burger smelling shit pipe.”

Oh god, Inkpad, a simple plain text notes app I've been using for years, mainly for shopping lists & jotting notes for podcasts, but I also used it drafting my parents' eulogies... now has an AI that thinks all those rather different things are What My Life Is, and will vomit out advice accordingly

Thank God the US isn't run by an insane theocracy, like Iran.

I didn't think, right until they said that, that there might be a reason to. Much government, many wow.

🤥 @KristiNoem today: “I didn’t call Alex Pretti a domestic terrorist.” FLASHBACK: she sure did 👇🏽

Utter perfection

Again: Not hyperbole, misinterpretation, or a joke that Christian Dominionism is a strain of apocalyptic accelerationism which VERY LITERALLY SEEKS to hasten their vision of the Biblical end of the world, & the people who believe this have VERY CAREFULLY worked their way into the halls of U.S. power

Microsoft requiring people to buy new hardware to run the compulsory AI features of their new OS isn't going to work out well for them when the AI sector using the world's supply of storage and memory has caused hardware costs to go through the roof. You don't need a NPU to run Linux
