These people really are unable to just admit that they were wrong and have to try to make that someone else’s fault and tbh their shitty analytical framework isn’t our problem. If I was getting outdone by every 19 year old vulgar Marxist I’d reevaluate what I believe.

The overlap between the authoritarian practices of the gender critical and this brewing moral panic about neurodivergence and “overdiagnosis” is fascinating.

oh man, as an imam's daughter it's been excruciating to see this term dragged in the dirt for decades - our whole life revolves around fatwa sought from people we believe to have good sense

Have you seen who these police chiefs are? Have you seen pigs on the front line? They didn't fail to tackle racism because they're racist themselves.

Markets are incredibly dumb & incurably credulous

Sublime high comedy moment. Grateful that Anas Sarwar will now have to answer questions about one of his MPs having a potentially treasonous affair with the captain of a nuclear submarine whilst her husband spied for China.

Yeah it's really looking like the White House briefing they don't care about the Strait of Hormuz is as truthful as their talk about diplomacy prior to 28th February.

Israel Katz is basically saying that Israel are going to demolish a load of homes in southern Lebanon so people won’t be able to go home; and will stay there after the war has ended, sad that more people who got upset over Russia invading Ukraine have very little to say on this

This is Sunday Times political editor whose husband worked for the snooping company that drew up the dossier calling her colleague, the paper’s political correspondent, a Russian stooge, on behalf of Labour Together, a party-within-a-party that the paper helped wreck and bullshit the PM into office.

Well, this is it: my entire life I’ve seen Sensible Moderates in this country saying This Time, They Risk Going Too Far And Losing My Support, and yet *every single time* the death machine cranks up, it turns out it’s actually students and protesters with placards who are more urgently upsetting.

Starmer's Britain

Transitioning was the key that unlocked a really happy life for me. I recommend it.

“I’m going to implement even more draconian policies for asylum seekers because if I don’t when Reform get it it will be worse” is such a fucking ridiculous statement.

If we build monstrous fascist infrastructure this will torally placate the fascists who definitely won't be emboldened by this win to roar & bellow for even greater fascisms or use this infrastructure in the future as the place to start implementing a system of still worse degradations & abuses

Liberalism is exactly this: a constant set of musing hypotheticals, terms and conditions, ending with supporting fascists authorizing the torture of children.

MattGPT knocking it out the park with the "hate books hate facts simple as" constituency

The Green Party are on the cusp of being the leading political party in the polls. Felt pretty emotional to get this reception from thousands of educators and support staff. Hope is here. It's all of us. And the tide is turning - let's do this! 💚 Join.greenparty.org.uk

It bears repeating, but: the idea that the Green Party or the left in general is a kind of Islamic/Bolshevik conspiracy to undermine and destroy the Reich has a very specific historic pedigree, and it’s not one that anyone should be politely accepting as a suitable point for debate.

Partner 1: Where you going, love? Partner 2: Just driving 100mls across country to fill the car up with petrol that's 0.25p a litre cheaper than our local station Partner 1: What would I do without you, eh? Always counting the pennies!

Massive props & thanks to Zack for continuing to speak up about the Gaza genocide & Israeli apartheid. This takes a huge amount of bravery bc as we've been seeing recently, it's coming at an increasing personal cost as the smears & attacks ramp up in the media

This is Apartheid. It's morally disgusting - and comes at the same time as Israel is committing an ongoing genocide. To see the Labour Government defend Israel repeatedly will horrify the British public - it cannot go on like this.

Annoying dad at the park always talking at me about the podcasts he listens to. Last week: so this scientist says they’ve cured aging. It’s just a matter of time before you can live forever. Me: how? Him: a pill Me: Him: that will only cost $100,000 Me: Him: Me: I’ve gotta go

Multiple sclerosis, learning disabilities, bipolar, Parkinson’s, ME and long Covid may not mee5 criteria under these devastating changes This government hates disabled people far more than the Conservatives did And people still trust them with assisted dying

"Israel passes bill mandating death penalty for Palestinians convicted of lethal acts of terrorism." Haaretz It is harder and harder to argue that Israel is not apartheid.

Starmer and his colleagues have said "defensive" so this is totally fine and the UK isn't involved in the illegal war on Iran at all.

'woke' books don't contain errors and typos. added alt:

So has anywhere else in the world done the death penalty but only for one ethnicity? What sort of country were they? The sort that we are told Israel is not?

Hands well washed.

Only just found out about this 😑

He's was in the bin as soon as he took the role but we're now setting fire to that bin

these people have never heard of the concept of 'uncanny valley'- when human disgust is triggered by humanoid shit, there's no turning back

The Knesset passed a bill today mandating the death penalty for Palestinians convicted of terror - but not for Jews. There is a word for a legal system where different legal standards apply to different categories of people. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

The Scott Mills news has brought out all the most normal people on Facebook.

This is the way

The common thread connecting these British comment writers is that they cannot stand seeing someone enjoy themselves and do politics. Politics, they insist, must be as miserable and joyless and intellectually and emotionally limited as they are - because otherwise they cease to be relevant at all.

by no means should you have any sympathies for Rob but, man, I cannot imagine the toll it would take on you having Linehan living with you

Labour has the cheek to talk about Green Party drugs policy! Yet again, they are abandoning the vulnerable.

Emma Goldman said it best: "If I can't dance, I don't want to be part of your revolution"

Nick Cave and the Bad Takes

Reinstituting the cap would be the single most basic and probably most equitable decision Government could make that would almost instantly rescue dozens and dozens of Universities facing extinction-level drops in numbers and by extension almost complete collapse in the next 2 - 3 years.

If you're defending Labour, this is what you're defending. If you're voting Labour, this is what you're voting for. This is who they are. This is what they stand for.

An absolutely appalling person only too happy to run cover for actual antisemites & fascists whose only consistent principle is whatever is immediately expedient in whatever horrendous campaign of mobstering & shitefesting he's currently frying his brains with

There are 1.2 million people displaced in Lebanon because of Israel, WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE

Spent the weekend & this morning attempting to put some flatpack furniture together lxds. It's going as well as you'd expect
