Serious questions should be asked as to how the supposedly non-biased BBC can justify airing a broadcast completely operated by Reform UK themselves. Nigel Farage should not been given complete editorial control of what is being aired on our national public service broadcaster.

"My religion says I can't do that" "Okay" "My religion says you can't do that" "Suck my rainbow"

I'm fine I'm fine just thinking abut Kinger and his two daughters, Ragatha and Pomni. #tadc

I am so angry I can barely speak, vulnerable LGBT+ and neurodiverse children being ripped from their info sources and support networks. Also banned from essential coding and software YT videos. Because of mass campaigns of hate on X, Mumsnet and Facebook, which all remain unrestricted for adults.

Dear BBC journalists, you really do not have to 'debate' every far-right talking point that pops up on your X feed. It is not "deeply contentious" to suggest non-white people can't be English. It's racist. The word you're looking for is racist

if you just went by media coverage you would think that trangender kids playing sports are a much more immediate threat to the public well-being than a billionaire becoming a trillionaire by pumping $2 trillion worth of fraud into every single 401k

But can Cal not be the inexplicable spitting image of Prison Paul next time, please? Put me right off the second game.

Accidentally summed up my own feelings perfectly today: "I do think humans should go to space! I just don't think capitalism should go to space."

but they were all of them deceived, for another monday was made

It is hard to overstate the egregiousness of this failure. The body whose statutory duty is to protect the human rights of, and prevent discrimination against, trans people has published exclusionary rules for trans people under the aegis of a government run by the party which created those duties.

I don't think it's a good idea to legally privilege someone else's discomfort over another person's rights.

So Badgers has been added to the BFI archives. Honestly this feels like quiite an honor. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNqb...

@peter.petermorwood.com glanced at this image once, smiled, and merely said, walking away to get some tea: "That's no castle. Like its owner, it's indefensible."

This is the end of a really great and thought provoking thread

Since the same arguments keep coming up, perhaps we could grasp that two propositions can simultaneously be true, and in tension: 1. Parties are not entitled to votes and must earn them. 2. Voters should understand how their electoral system works and be prepared to vote against as well as for.

I do not really understand politics because why is a Prime Minister seeking to appeal to Conservative voters who switched to Reform when the voters for his Labour party switched to Green and it makes no sense.

I know the law.

This is the problem. A pitch to voters "turning to Greens and Reform". You have to actually choose between the voters who want what they perceive as a socially liberal socialist environmentalist party and the ones who want fascism. You can't appeal to both, and now they all hate you.

Every time I see someone talk about Claude I think about how they switched from female to male names as soon as they wanted the robots to seem like experts vs personal assistants.

YT just offered me a Star Wars Legion announcement video by two Atomic Mass lead game dev guys who are both named Will, and I want to know why they called it "Legion Developer Update" and not "Journal of the Wills"

"Duality" (2026) Bluesky Timeline

Funny how it's always just "Not being cruel is stupid, actually" is the only consistent premise the press have, with everything reversed engineered from that no matter how incoherent and anti-scientific the results, huh?

No, the thing that has me *terrified* about AI is that when it craters and takes the economy with it, that we will respond the same way we have during every financial crisis of the 21st century: with austerity, and austerity breeds *fascism*. 9/

TFW you're about to get to sleep but your daughter has a random 2am Locked Tomb theory and needs to bibble about it to somebody

Anyone notice that the "ALT" badge in the bottom right corner of images has changed to "ALL"? More BSky vibe coding?

Okay not gonna lie: Not only would i go to this if was real, but i'd WRITE it.

You may recall the serious allegations by Reform about voting offences at the Gorton and Denton by-election. This detailed thread sets out what happened next. All too late, and this won’t get the same circulation as the original allegations.

No one is trying to tell you that you are not allowed to feel nostalgic for what Harry Potter may have once meant to you as a kid; they are literally just asking you to not fund their destruction.

Re: my last reposts “Do not put money in the pocket of a woman who has sworn publicly to use it to disenfranchise vulnerable populations” is the smallest ask imaginable. It’s not oxygen, it’s not food. It’s television. You can do without. There are thousands of other shows for you to watch.

*finally watches a couple of episodes of Amazing Digital Circus* Sooo... Seems like the premise is, "What if you made Infinity Train, but also you're on a massive sugar high?" *watches a couple more* ...and add to that, you're certifiably insane and have some deep-rooted traumas to work through...?

I've watched pitch drop experiments and million-to-one gear reduction videos, but I don't think anything in the world takes longer to end than a 20 second unskippable Febreze advert. Especially when it repeats every 1-2 minutes in incognito mode. YT is intentionally unusable logged-out.

Hunting for some bits for a project - let me tell you that even if you have the thing I was after, having this in your ebay store is a real quick way to make sure you never get a penny from me.

Starmer: Greens "divisive"; spends paras insulting Green team, making nonsense connections with Galloway, demonising Green policies & belittling party as unserious. Not a peep about Reform. Notably absent: "I congratulate her and hope to work together in our shared goals." Sorry, who's divisive?

Anyway, as I understand it, having 5 MPs gets you unlimited coverage on Sky and a reserved seat on Question Time, I hope Polanski has sorted a rota out

... and EXHALE.

The impending by-election result nobody can predict will affirm the pre-existing views of everyone.

Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture. Understood instantly what it meant.

😬Not the best look for Reform’s Gorton & Denton candidate Matt Goodwin White supremacist far right activist says “you've appeared on our podcasts, had dinner with us, had us write for your Substack, and sought our advice on how to write your social media posts” Tad awkward😬

The great value of juries is not so much the powers they have, but the powers they prevent others from having.

Most mundane celebrity encounter? Probably passing Melvyn Bragg walking through UMIST campus towards the station one evening. Bonus not-quite-encounter: Going to order lunch, looking back at the table and texting daughter: "Uh, I think you're sitting behind Gav Thorpe!" (She was.)

Age verification? I downloaded the Phantom Menace trailer in Quicktime format. On dial-up.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

I am BAFFLED to find myself not in any actual clusters but somehow just outside the city limits of the BTS ARMY fanfic community. (I have never heard a BTS)

They did the same in Caerffili in October 2025. Mistake? No way. nation.cymru/news/decepti...

EXCLUSIVE: Reform UK just broke electoral law in Gorton and Denton. The party confirmed they sent out campaign materials without proper party imprint, something it insists was a mistake.

Interesting... Checking the junk mail pile, I've had a couple of directly-addressed Reform mailers put through my door - in Harding envelopes and with serial codes - but have NOT received the "Patricia" letter. Which suggests a specific level of targeting in the recipients?

Lord of the Rings literally happened because the Valar failed to deal with all of Morgoth's creatures and particularly his chief lieutenant Sauron after the war that ended the First Age, thus allowing Sauron to worm his way back into power/influence in the Second Age and continue his master's work.
