The dissonance in the UK atm is unreal but gotta hand it to the states, we got nothing quite like the white house saying how their gestapo boys are battling on the streets as if it's The Raid, meanwhile every video you see is a bunch of losers armed to the teeth getting chased off by a dancing frog

We are permanently trapped at these people's mercy while forced to watch them slowly learn shit people generally figure out in 11th grade

following everyone down this quote chain, what incredible talent

It’s happened again

Stephen Miller said last year this was the plan. They said it out loud. Some of us highlighted his remarks at the time and warned how dangerous they were. Most of the media missed them and/or moved on from them. It’s happening:

It sucks that all my amazing artist and writer associates constantly have to beg for cash. It's nice that we can come together and support them as a community but it would be better if some sort of government body took a small portion of everyones income and basically distrubuted it universally

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Listen, I really love being connected with everyone but it is starting to seem any social media out there just forgets that Nazis are bad and marginalized folks are culture as soon as they hit a dozen million users.

Listen. If you didn't want to be seen as the Twitter escape pod, you shouldn't have deliberately fostered a community of people so united by their contempt for arbitrary authority and love of absolute free speech that they were willing to abandon a platform they'd been using for 15 years

Fuck nazis, fuck ice, fuck maga. And fuck you if you don't like me saying fuck.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

Bluesky deleted my post complaining about the CEO lol. I did not delete it myself! Full on Lowtaxing from Jay here.

Incredible. TLDR: vaccines containing mRNA that encodes for allergen-related proteins have had promising results in mice, and might even be a stepping stone to an asthma vaccine.

Glasgow Gender Clinic now has a waiting time of 224 years. The average across the UK is now 25 years. This segregated system isn’t working and is wasting millions. The NHS has been told time and again - informed consent now.

One of the SCAD teachers (Prof. Castillo) drew me at the meeting and I cant stop laughing because this really has been my face this entire time lmao

Also y’knoow what, technically Jay is right: harassing mods into banning people has never worked. They just need to be Trans or Palestinian and that’ll do the job automatically 🙃

Seven years ago today, Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi was tortured, murdered and then dismembered. And any so-called comedian who can't stand up tonight in Riyadh and do ten minutes on that kind of hijinx and horseplay just isn't worth the Saudi blood money he's being paid.

"Sorry, there's just no money for new projects" "we have to lay off hundreds of people to cut costs" "that show/game/studio has been canceled and closed due to lack of profits"

Microsoft is such a mess and I feel very bad for the people that just wanna work on their games and have to deal with that bullshit.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

"Avoiding politics" during the normalization of fascism is to side with fascism.

oh it's time to post the Tetris story again. (short version: reporter goes to cover early e-sports, discovers that his wife is, unknowingly, the greatest Tetris player in the world) archive.boston.com/news/globe/m...

Can we stop doing this? There is no sense in debating whether people are themselves racist, or sexist, or homophobic, if the context for this debate is how these people have done racist, sexist or homophobic things

Transphobes: still terrible.

How very, very dare you:

this most "this could have been an email" thing i've ever heard

Sonic vs. The Edgy Bog? (Look, I'm very tired, OK?)

I think if people want to stop being called Nazis they should stop being Nazis. I think that's a good way to go.

This is the fishiest shit I've ever seen. We're supposed to believe the shooter wrote "Anti-ICE" in pen on a bullet and then shot detainees but not ICE officers?

Another one I quite liked (but unfortunately forget the source - if anyone else reading this remembers, please do comment with the credit) was "going through the five stages of grift".

Shhh let them cook

BREAKING NEWS: TYLENOL RESEARCHERS FIND DISTURBING LINK BETWEEN DONALD TRUMP AND JEFFREY EPSTEIN

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

What on Earth is this? An "in depth" BBC article about free speech in the UK that only cites examples of right-wing/ 'anti-woke' speech being suppressed. How can you mention Lucy Connolly but completely ignore Palestine Action / Just Stop Oil? Gob-smacking. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"why am I always do stressed out" "why can't I stop getting mad on socials lol" "how come I'm drawing so much slower than the last few years" "why can't I sleep"

Given that CK had the same birthday as George Floyd and that's the next Trump-mandated grief fest, as much as we know that 47 wants to erase MLK Day, I suspect he'll test the water by trying to erase George Floyd first.

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR. This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

This, it seems, is what the BBC had in mind when it drew up plans in March to alter “story selection” to win over Reform voters.

The ‘well, actually you can’t do that’ argument is meaningless under a populist authoritarian government, as being perfectly demonstrated across the Atlantic, and don’t believe it can’t happen here. That IS the playbook being followed by Reform. It would be utter chaos and a disaster for the UK.

Surely after what's happening in the US no-one can say with any degree of credibility that "It can't happen here".

Retrospectively removing indefinite leave to remain would be immoral and economically damaging. It would tear families apart. Attacking it as ‘potentially illegal’ is completely beside the point. Argue with the (awful) idea. Don’t try ’well, actually you can’t do that’.

i cannot stress enough how fucking pathetic this is, absolute fucking crybaby ass mfs, straight up state-ran propaganda

I of course welcome the recognition of the state of Palestine. And there won't be a Palestinian state left if government's continue enabling Israel's unfolding genocide. Labour can't credibly support Palestinian statehood whilst also continuing to arm Israel.

I actually think it’s good when deeply offputting users have horrible AI avatars. its the 2025 version of this

too many ads on news sites!!! I can’t read my longform journalism because every 30 seconds the page crashes and reloads with all the fucking ads!!
