BEN: Then the Emperor has already won. You were our only hope. LUKE: Yoda spoke of another. BEN: Oh yeah he must’ve meant Ahsoka Tano, a fully trained warrior badass who’s alive just offscreen. She’s got two lightsabers LUKE: That’s badass. BEN: You only have one and you lost it

dad tried to chatgpt together a family photo from two where different people were holding the camera. I think it came out great

Trying to title a video in a manner that's both informative and concise can sometimes be a challenge. PAINT ARMY MANS GOOD seems just a touch off-base, though. This one's aimed right at square one, so hopefully finds its way to those could use the pointers. youtu.be/uEVsDFZtUAc

God forbid people who are not Americans discuss things important to them on this platform.

Just had some lovely metal miniatures from @heresyminiatures.com arrive in the post, can't wait to paint some of these up.

i'll always remember where i was when i heard that Wes Streeting had resigned as health secretary in order to challenge Keir Starmer for the leadership: i was at home, checking the news to see if Wes Streeting had resigned as health secretary in order to challenge Keir Starmer for the leadership

GMB not shaking off its "worst union" rep

I don't really care what positions Streeting tries to cosplay as adopting to make himself palatable to the various Labour factions. The man is a rancid transphobe and that disqualifies him from being considered a progressive.

I have a visitor

Reform pledged to build a concentration camp where I live to punish us for voting Green. Their leader in Glasgow made a special video about it. That's because they are fascists and they like building camps. If you want that politics to have a place at the table, you are pro-fascist.

Absolutely *done* with the polite omerta around this stuff. Some members of our political and journalistic classes are fascists. For those who aren't, your choice is to collaborate with the fascists or not. It's not a game, it's extremely serious and lives are on the line.

At some point there needs to be a *proper* conversation about how cruelty has become a new normal for so many people. And we can't just keep putting it down to structures. Too many people with plenty of agency are actively choosing this.

Yes this. A lot of us grew up having most of our holidays in the UK, and don't think "holiday" automatically means going abroad.

A capsule summary of the review is not a one-sentence review and is disrespectful to the actual reviewer who wrote a very thoughtful critique pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...

I take this post as a reminder to not let "having opinions" take over your personality, because you end up creating untested models of the universe in your mind and then saying them out loud without realizing how stupid they sound, and by the time you figure it out, you're screencapped.

I'm 43, I will never maxx or mogg and frankly if another grown man said something like that around me I do believe he'd get his ass kicked

A set of Warhammer skellingtons I painted a whole ago to see if I liked using Vallejo Model Air paints by brush. They were pretty nice paints but I preferred other ranges.

this really does make me despair. this is a woman who has just got elected as a Reform councillor. she works for the NHS and wants to know “where the money is going”. it’s going on social care, babe

ITS NOT STAYCATION IF YOU LEAVE YOUR SODDING HOUSE AND STAY SOMEWHERE ELSE! ITS A HOLIDAY

🚨 | ALL Welsh Senedd Seats Declared! No overall majority - Plaid Cymru largest party Final results: 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 PC: 43 (+20) ➡️ Reform: 34 (+34) 🌹 Labour: 9 (-35) 🌳 Conservative: 7 (-22) 🌍 Green: 2 (+2) 🔶 Lib Dem: 1 (+1)

Happening while Zack Polanski gets attacked and smeared. Awful.

Naturally the BBC have decided to illustrate their Senedd coverage with a photograph showing a representative of the 2nd placed party celebrating.

Friends, don't do this. Stating that Harry Truman did a thing is not an endorsement of Harry Truman. It is a statement that Harry Truman did a thing. Historians are allowed to discuss discrete historical facts on the internet without attaching a disclaimer paragraph every single fucking time.

this is a great video www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RFt...

I just find it self-indulgent miserablism. It’s an excuse for inaction.

This. Most Normal Island discourse is just British exceptionalism

labour's anti-immigrant rhetoric and policies will never win them any votes, because "the UK's problems are caused by immigrants" is both a fundamentally incorrect idea and trivial to outflank on the right. "well, we'll be twice as tough on immigrants then. vote reform"

Remember that the far right does so well in this country because the press spends all day, every day, saying these problems are caused by immigrants and that anyone offering slightly more left wing alternatives is a deranged terrorist hippy.

I've filled in some of the white space on my endless staircase with posters.

The day has finally arrived. You can now *officially* watch puffins live from the Farne Islands, 24 hours a day: bit.ly/4tRz72T Please enjoy these puffins kissing in celebration of this momentous event.

Yes Christopher Nolan takes some liberties but it’s historical fact that Linkin Park’s “What I’ve Done” was playing while Einstein and Oppenheimer had this conversation.

The message should be that people who were potential labour voters like a lot of labour policy, but hate having their core moral values of inclusiveness and tolerance attacked in an effort to win over people who labour were never going to win over

Rooney's post-playing career has been a real 'oh, an unpleasant confrontation with my prejudices' in that after this interview I went and looked back at interviews he gave as a player and went 'no, you were obviously always this intelligent' and I just didn't notice because of....well, my prejudice!

I woke up early and needed to kill some time before midday so I went to the nearest castle. Highly recommend, it was full of birds.

For some reason this blackboard has lived rent free in my head for days now, and I think it's less the dogshit reading of Romeo And Juliet so much as it is the smug "everyone who actually read it" sign off — you aren't supposed to read it. It's a play. You're supposed to *watch* it.

I do think it sums up “the weird way the Internet shapes politics unnoticed” that “some chants that people should knock off but are mostly an ignorable part of an in-person march” are given more explanatory power than “the website that is full of antisemitism of every stripe that MPs hang out on”.

Whenever I'm accidentally logged out of youtube or reddit and see what the algorithms point to without my account, it's like staring into a bleak abyss

I went to the transport festival today, which was interesting but not quite my thing.

There is enough oil for the UK to not lower consumption, provided we can outbid the rest of the world for that oil. The problem is that we can't afford to outbid the world, and trying to do so will just pour money into the pockets of oil companies.

Good morning everyone.

TELEVISION IS NOT REAL THE REAL 1990s WEREN'T THAT GOOD* *just because you were a kid and you had no responsibilities that doesn't mean the 90s were good **same applies to any other time in history, including the 00s

I’ve been trying to warn y’all. 35 years ago most of Gen X denied they even WERE Gen X. Now look at us. Every generation becomes an embarrassment to the young eventually if they buy into their own hype.

Part of the problem is that the run-up to the Act coming into force is v much the 'surprise! Your unscruplous landlord is quitting the sector' stage, which made it an awkward stage for going 'isn't this great news!' (Until yesterday, all the real world effects of the act were *bad* for Renters)

I've seen a bunch of people joking about this, but I think it should be taken more seriously: - The issue isn't the specific fish, it's that it's being mislabelled as a different (more expensive) fish. - It's not Kosher or Halal, and it's being sold in place of a fish that is Kosher and Halal.

Depressing but also a lateral move in terms of quality. Was clickbait shit written according to Baby's First SEO Handbook superior to the AI slop that's replacing it? It's all grifting garbage.

Lunch break thought: it remains profoundly sad how much of the economy has been turned over to scams that pretend to be gambling which pretends to be an investment. Do you want to gamble your money with odds that are actually good? Index. Funds. But I guess that's not masculinity-affirming enough.

god the piece attached to this one, on one woman who successfully saved her dad's life by invoking Martha's rule, made me quite teary www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

If you don't want to pay for a thing, just don't, that's your prerogative as a customer. But don't leave shitty reviews whining about not being able to get it for free.

The subplot about Elrond and Arwen in the movies is so funny to me because it implies that the second he finishes establishing and equipping and dispatching the Fellowship he turns around and is like "Well, they're fucked. We're rolling out of here boys and girls, pack it up, let's go, let's go!"
