If you think that Nigel farage saying "cunt" is worse than him reciting the 14 Words, you might just deserve to get your head kicked in.

It's pretty fucking telling about the state of mainstream British politics that this post saying Nigel Farage is "quick to anger" has more than twice as many likes and reposts than the one highlighting the fact that he's reciting fascist slogans and openly endorsing neo-nazi groups.

I’m sick of this man not being behind bars

Apropos everything 23 years yesterday, Rachel Corrie was killed by an Israeli bulldozer, none of this is new and it wasn’t even new then

£53 million for people who can't heat their homes. $2 billion to prolong a foreign war which cannot ever be 'won.'

Why does Paul Waugh follow the executive editor of the far-right race science magazine Aporia, Bo Winegard (@EPoe187)? Concerningly he also follows Richard Hanania and Mary Harrington Unsurprisingly, Rosie Duffield follows the actual Nazi that is Nina Power

Happy March 15. Here is my favorite Ides of March meme:

That's the spirit! When your Master across the Sea demands you deploy floating human shields to take some shrapnel for his war crimes, you better snap to it!

why do anything?

I analyzed the Proud Boys donor list. The most common occupation was real estate (realtor, mortgage broker) — the same parasitic class that was over-represented among Jan 6th rioters.

every British guy between the ages of 38 and 52 has intense, borderline troubling nostalgia for some insanely unplayable looking Amiga game called like “Bonky’s Quest”

but also, yon fuckin numpty is actually just mad that the greens cheated by offering voters something they wanted, instead of what the six cunts who own all our newspapers demand

It is actually possible to regulate gambling advertising, and while designing such a regulatory regime could be complicated, it can also be very simple, such as "there shall be no gambling advertising".

I keep seeing people writing that he doesn’t know what he thinks DEI is but that’s not quite right. He has a definition in his head but he knows exactly how racist his explanation is and he doesn’t want that captured on video.

Here’s a Saturday take for ya: buzzballs should be illegal (or at the very least, taxed out of existence). Can’t believe we’re *still* inventing new ways to clog up the planet with plastic.

People are exaggerating about how much water our world changing product (that is conscious and alive and will replace all jobs and is worth ten trillion dollars by the way) uses. And it’s frankly unfair.

“There’s no such thing as unskilled labor” is problematic because it excludes bassists in punk bands

Just incredible shoebill awareness-raising from this Hong Kong teens' magazine

sorry basically the problem of my life is that i internalized and believed a lot of stuff people said about valuing children and loving your neighbor and living in a society at the exact moment that everyone in power decided all of that shit was fake and gay and not a way to make a living

Oh my god this is so good

Not even the Nazis expressly announced they were committing war crimes. Indeed, at Nuremberg war crimes were denied. But here, openly, the US Secretary for Defense is explicitly admitting to committing war crimes.

The Bank of England are Greens and part of the 'radical left' apparently 🤦‍♂️

The Strait of Hormuz is open for transit

I love this photo

it’s kinda worth saying that the lionisation of churchill as a historical figure had to be done very deliberately, cos a lot of people really fuckin hated him right from the start. a lot of the stuff that’s now received-wisdom ‘british culture’ is just shit we had rammed down our throats

And all of this for what? What goal has been accomplished? What if anything was the goal in the first place besides just such slaughter? Whose lives have been improved here? Has yours? www.welcometohellworld.com/what-do-thes...

I refuse to believe this isn’t a deliberate nod to Guns N Roses’ November Rain video

They could even commission a special 3 million pound note to commemorate the Bengal famine

On the reverse it can be one of his numerous statements against the establishment of the NHS

A compromise: Churchill on the five pound note, but it's him being given a police escort from the Walthamstow dog track during the 1945 general election campaign

I simply refuse to believe this isn’t a Chris Morris sketch:

I’m not generally keen on the primary purpose of criminal justice being meting out vengeance, but “you imprisoned someone for 25 years, now we’re gonna lock you up for about half that, tops” doesn’t really seem sufficiently proportionate.

A company being awarded UK Government contracts👇🏻

The history of the application of tech under capitalism is not about augmentation or productive efficiency, as the just-so stories have it, but about control. This is because the goal is the extraction of surplus labour, not "improving customers’ lives". www.theguardian.com/technology/n...

"You boy, what day is this??"

It's quite incredible how it's somehow taboo to say the obvious truth about the UK, which is that it's a well integrated society where most people just get on with their lives no problem. Apart from a core of extremely insulated journalists and politicians who refuse to be integrated.

“Give me what I want right now, or I will set the nastiest newspapers in the country on you at full rend-and-kill intensity” seems to be one of the really consistent trends of Peter Mandelson’s career, and indeed of the various political projects he’s been attached to.

What’s wrong with these people? I want the robot to tidy my house, while I play with my kid. Not vice versa.

I'm not a 'one chart to explain everything about British politics' guy, but if I were this would be the chart. You will notice the Chancellor's pre-election strategy, 'I would simply Do A Growth', has not had an effect.

Guardian technology editor Samuel Gibbs' last <3 star review was in March 2021, which makes sense given how pleasing to use today's consumer tech products are

If we have decided that the standards of public life are set so high that Polanski's past excludes him, then fair enough. But let's apply that standard consistently, shall we? Because right now it looks like the left are the ones being subjected to purity tests by rank criminals and racists.

The released "Mandelson Files" show govt paid off Mandelson to stop "Peter go[ing] public on some of his claims" , a matter of "urgency "- but they have kept secret what these "claims" are (eg the actual "note of a call" referred to here has been held back)

Oof

i would simply suggest that “AI-powered toys designed for toddlers” is a thing that should not exist

Giving this a Thursday evening bump.
