I think this is just where some people are at with Labour, which I do understand.

Tbf I reckon the best way to get rid of Farage is to expect the cunt to show up for work

*Turn on BBC News* *Nigel Farage talking* *Turn off TV*

Prime with ads. Just how Kubrick intended.

"All I really want is enough to live on, a little house in the country, and a tree in the garden with seven of my enemies hanging in it." (Heinrich Heine)

Well I was thinking of going to the gym this morning. Hardly seems worth it now.

The one variable here is I don’t think there has ever been, in democratic times, an economic shock where you can point to a specific individual politician and go “it’s this guy’s fault”.

I've muted his name. That was the easy part. Now need to find a way to mute his fucking face. And screenshots of his fucking posts.

#ArtemisII My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com

Gave up on #r4today two years ago for this typical bollocks of theirs, so maybe someone who still listens to their shite can report back?

Actually a good set of points.

Reminds me of this thread I did on the other place about Elton John headlining Glastonbury after everybody had taken the piss out of his lockdown rendition of I'm Still Standing.

I do not want to create an account or open a subscription I just want to buy a thing and never hear from you again why is this so hard.

You can’t expect Keir Starmer to have known Mandelson was dodgy as fuck. Nobody told him. Probably nobody told him Israel was committing war crimes either. Or that the two-child benefit cap was starving kids. Or that trans people are human beings. Or that immigrants are a net benefit.

Please repost if you agree that the BBC has been undermining democracy and enabling foreign interference in our politics by promoting and protecting Farage.

Deeply weird. Great fun.

What we wanted was for Keir Starmer to go on Kuenssberg the day after the election and do this

Well, I guess a needed a break from here

Wish I could somehow filter out screen-shots from Truth Social. Just want a summary -- and that's bad enough, don't need to actually SEE his shit, people.

If you return unwanted Reform local election leaflets to their party headquarters using their free post address, then it will cost the party £2.50 per envelope. Please don’t share this information; it could cost Nigel Farage a fortune.

Claude this, Claude that, what if I Claude your fucking eyes out stop talking to me

Reminder: You don't have to give right-wing chuds attention & you *really* don't have to share screenshots of the dumb shit they say on Twitter! We came to Bluesky to get away from it. If you want to engage, go there. Don't bring it here like a dog dropping a rat at our feet & expecting praise.

I see ‘Bluesky is dying’ season is coming earlier this year.

I know this has been said many times and in many ways, but I genuinely do not care how popular bluesky is as long as the people whose posts I like to read are still using it.

Driving through New Zealand with turbines sprinkled everywhere. Like large and lovely alien machines.

As a Gibson fan and IT software guy, this is painfully true

As a species, we aren't gonna make it are we?

Jesus, they weren’t bloody joking.

Do you know how many people should also be wishing him a happy birthday?

RIP Tom Georgeson aka Detective Harry Naylor in Between the Lines - still the best TV police drama ever. I shall be taking no questions.

I Will Always Love You Fucking thing never seems to end. I’d be offering up my first-born before the first chorus.

So I’m watching Sinners for the third time. Damn I love this movie.

what the fuck is going on in Sam Altman’s head

In a talk to young writers last night I showed this viral tweet as an e.g. of public engagement I was gobsmacked when a number of people came up & said they had already seen it loose on the internet (w/o my name, obviously) Clearly drunk cat is my true & most enduring legacy, & I wish him well 😽

I still think about this a lot.

Oh, but this is good. If infuriating.

Whenever I feel bad about living here.

What people miss when citing Golgfrincham Ark B to represent a useless section of today's society is that, in the book, the people on the other two Arks who thought themselves so terribly important, were wiped out from a virus people on Ark B would've prevented.

It's only a pre-emptive strike if it comes from the Preemptif region of France, otherwise it's just a cynical excuse to start a vainglorious and bloodthirsty war with no coherent endgame.

It really is one of the greatest unforced errors I’ve ever seen in British politics - they have a huge majority and, from day one, have had a laser focus on squandering it though obsessing over people who will never vote for them, and spitting in the faces of those who might.

matt goodwin *will* see your jokes about him and they will gnaw away at what’s left of his soul forever and ever and ever

"The 1.9% won by their candidate Charlotte Cadden is the party’s worst byelection result in history, and marks only the second time the party has lost its deposit in a vote by polling under 5% since 1962." Inject this into my veins. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Am toying with the idea of unblocking my blocklist, which is full of pricks, so I can have the joy of blocking them again.

tfw your mum isn’t about to spend millions on trying to make it all go away
