No matter what this meeting is about, Pete will always be a National Guardsman assigned to a Civil Affairs unit who got a bunch of crusader tattoos in his 40s because he wants you to think he's a cool, war-criming operator instead of an extremely online wife-beating loser

For whatever it’s worth: “AP journalists inside Gaza saw no immediate evidence of Netanyahu's speech being broadcast on phones there.”

ah yes, the paragon of wokeness

I hear the President has decreed that it is possibly a crime to refer to Americans as "fascists," but "fascism" is a word that has a relatively clear meaning that's worth understanding. Here's how an official publication of the US Army defined "fascism" in 1945.

Again, you *have to* have a Tesco card or your shopping costs even more than the already crazy prices! Do you see how all the arguments against objections amount to tiny gilded class saying “we already treat you like cattle, so it’s stupid for you object to us fucking you in new and exciting ways”.

I hope there will come a day soon where it dawns on someone in Starmer’s team that their strategy of communicating “Nigel Farage is right about everything but please vote for us instead” is fuelling these disastrous figures rather than mitigating them, but today is not that day

Classic multivalent signalling error as per @dhnexon.bsky.social 's work: 1. Say to The Guardian that the fascist march sent shivers. 2. Say to The Telegraph that he agrees with the fascists and will do the fascism harder. On the same day. We're all too stupid to not see the contradiction here.

And they came to that opinion all by themselves (almost no "leaders" or news outlets express this or allow it to be expressed plainly)

“Like so much in the Trump administration, what was once considered apolitical is now labeled political.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/u...

First time I’ve seen the rabbit/bird illusion with an actual photo. Took me just a half second to process the word in all caps…

Just baffling to see people whose profiles suggest an awareness of politics & social issues exposing themselves as completely unable to understand a basic point like this.

i think that people were legitimately upset that the Soviet Union engaged in the brutal mass murder of revolutionary communists for failing to submit to the absolute domination of the Russian Empire (under new management)

"please rate your package delivery" i mean ill click the smiley face because i assume it impacts the poor bastard who delivered it but i must impress upon you that forcing both him and i into this situation is an act of utter inhumanity and furthermore that god frowns upon your deeds

I Have Video Of You Secretly Fucking Pumpkins, Charlie Brown

Imagine going to the cops and saying: I will reveal all the details of my crimes in bite-sized revelations over weeks and months, unless this guy I hate gives me what I want, at which point the shock reveals will cease.

I think this is old news. The question now is, did they do it *by accident*, and I’m not certain the answer is No.

if you dont stop calling us nazis we will have the secret police disappear you to a slave labor camp

This is a great point that bears more than passing thought. Just imagine the shit storm that would ensue, led by politicians and tutt tutting gallery journos, if civil servants in statutory independent roles slagged off politicians in similar fashion

... but, as usual with these Profiles in Parliamentary Cowardice, they always talk mighty tough when they know their targets are gagged from clapping back in kind. Loathsome. #nzpol 2/2

Well done Billy Bragg, doing what Keir Starmer is utterly failing to do, when the Far Right attacks our society you dont lean into their arguments, you punch right back.

Incredible reporting, the type Western media weren't doing while IBM did the Holocaust

A very big Onion announcement: The Onion has spent the last two months working on a masterpiece. It's a documentary titled Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile. It's so good, in fact, we were set to release it in theatres nationwide on October 2nd. Then two weeks ago, Charlie Kirk was shot.

I repeat that whenever you see a man toss a woman around in front of witnesses and cameras, you can bet he’s had practice in private.

Anyway, here's Charlie Parr with his song about Wounded Knee youtu.be/X74nBiFcMoI?...

why do they call them children, they have like zero chill

I mean, the quote about how praise paints a target on her back suggests certain caucus tensions, does it not?

The Government's controversial voting law will result in a 411% increase in the number of votes being thrown out, according to the Electoral Commission. www.thepost.co.nz/politics/360...

Also, this claim: "Go look at other Western economies around the world and how fast they count their vote. We must be the slowest folk on the planet." Australia - voting day 3 May and final results 12 June (37 days) NZ - voting day 14 Oct and final results 9 November (26 days)

Took him a month to form a government when he could have folded during the first meeting instead of folding much later on

The MAGA monocultural revolution is so thorough that Hegseth made it a priority to honor soldiers who carried out war crimes in 1890.

Lol. The worst bloke at his job in NZ has the cheek to criticise the ethical meticulous work of people ensuring our votes are accurately counted that he probably underfunds. Do it fast and rubbish says Luxon, thats how we pass laws. #nzpol

Absolutely refusing to cast doubt on the accuracy of those anecdotal accounts of his rude interactions with operations staff at AirNZ eh

"Additionally, we will be charging a 30% Tariff on Upholstered Furniture"

Erica Stanford facing a little bit of criticism from a journalist has a sook and gets her own article about it? lol This is your great leadership hope? #NZPol

“nightlife, art, culture, and affordable food and drink can be found on every corner and down every backstreet” Can't imagine why NZ didn't make the cut. 🙄 www.stuff.co.nz/travel/36083...

"the menswear guy isn't fair and balanced." do you even hear yourself? "fork lady is eroding public confidence." "ladder baby is undermining the credibility of the field." "lemon raccoon is acting without transparency or accountability." that's what you sound like.

I guess we now know what it was like to live in an age when a powerful nation was ruled by a monarch given the 'mad King' sobriquet

The funniest legal disclaimer I've seen is Trump adding 'for national security' when raising tariffs on upholstered furnishings

CHOTINER: Record shows you didn’t post a Chotiner meme until Thursday? ME: That’s correct. CHOTINER: That seems unusual. Wouldn’t you say you usually jump on all the viral ‘bits?’ ME: I’d say so, but I had lots of work to do yesterday. CHOTINER: So, that work is done now?

just drop all the emails, fuck anyone who ever associated with him

Just like witches at black masses?

lol america's so stupid.

Jesus Houdini Christ, this is great.

It occurs to me that Tony being made Emperor Dalek of the ethnically cleansed Gaza Retail Park is going to be awkward for the same lads who instantly binned the Iraq War report, because they wanted to keep inviting him and Alastair into TV studios for interviews. Also, the lads who made him Sir Tony

The authoritarianism is moving so quickly, yet as it happens right in front of you it almost feels like nothing. Reporter: Dear Leader! Dear Leader! Any update on which of your perceived enemies you’ll use the power of the government to prosecute next? Trump: Well, I’m thinking about this guy …

@swordsjew.bsky.social did an interview on Know Your Enemy where she advocates bringing back the word "heretic" to describe these types of people. Rather than denying their self-proclaimed faith, call out their reading of that faith as being abhorrent

You don't look like Hitler, Alex. You look like Julius Streicher, i.e. crap Hitler, loser Hitler.

What do you do when the man who said you should have "the living shit beaten out of you" keeps sitting in the front row of candidate events? You make him meet your eye. You make him listen to the gasps of outrage when you say his words outloud. You make him listen to the applause you get.

The libs are trying to steal our precious bodily fluids…
