The whiplash from blaming the extreme militant antifa assassin/gun-banning, trans, immigrant left to feeling sorry for a lost white boy (grown ass man) is extraordinary… Please get over this fever soon, America. You need to heal something real bad.

Angela Rayner’s exit proves it. Unless Starmer is able to meet this moment, Reform is on the path to power | John Harris

She called for innocent people to be burned alive. Reform welcomed her with a rapturous ovation. Revolting.

Websites: "Verify you're a human... No, try again. No, try again. You must verify you're a real person." The same websites: "You can only make a complaint via Billy, our AI assistant, who will connect you to one of our customer support operatives, Misha, who seems to be human but is in fact a bot"

If you can’t see how attacking this could have hugely dangerous implications for every single person living in the UK irrespective of citizenship or immigration status, I do not know what to tell you.

In a sane, normal country, Lucy Connolly would be treated as a contemptible extremist. Not in Britain. But then this is no longer a sane, normal country. Britain has lost its moral bearings My @heraldscotland.bsky.social column www.heraldscotland.com/politics/vie...

Daniil Medvedev after a loss at the US Open. Another grown man throwing a tantrum like he's a 3yo toddler. Ffs, mate. Do the world a favour—get off the court and stay off.

Someone who I assumed was in their early 30s noted in a post elsewhere that they were a full decade beyond that age, which reinforced the idea to me that I can no longer accurately assess anyone's age anymore, adult humans exist only in two categories: "My age and older," and "indeterminate young."

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

The mask just keeps on slipping with this one, doesn't it?

Is there any explanation for how we went from half of parliament and the whole national press up in arms - roaring that even a suspicion of racism is utterly unacceptable and those accused must be destroyed - to shrugs and awkward coughs as the main parties fight to do Enoch Powell speeches loudest.

I haven't read it yet, so maybe there's more to it than this review says... but it sure doesn't *sound* like a particularly "bold reinvention" if it's taking a concept from Discovery, bringing a popular TOS character back to life, and making the Klingons the villains *again.*

I know it’s neither constructive nor empathetic of me, but reading this I’m just compiling a list of people I know who deserve - but will alas never receive - a punch in the nose.

Haha, that's exactly how I feel. It's been so long.

Lance Storm Weighs In On Brock Lesnar’s WWE Return: “It’s About The Overall Message You Send To Women Who Work For You In Your Company…”

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort. It aired in 1990.

Nuanced polling shows the complexity of opinion, compared to opinion-directing polling and reporting that seeks to oversimplify immigration debates to suit the aims of Farage etc. @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk

This weekend thousands of people in the UK stood up against racists and far-right thugs only to have representatives of a nominally leftwing government support, enable and empower the racists. Why do you not hear the worries of those trying to protect minority rights and liberal democracy?

I feel like the reason why far right propaganda is so effective and pervasive is because instead of offering solutions they offer excuses. It always boils down to "All of your problems are because of someone else" which is like oldest and most basic grift around.

We wanted change - and this is what we got. Labour will leave Government, after only one term, having achieved nothing beyond delivering the country to Reform

#FantasticFour was great. Loved the retrofuture Fifties vibe, Galactus was suitably imposing, and have always had a soft spot for Silver Surfer. Good humour, solid plot and LIKING this new, positive vibe for Superhero movies, this and Supes both. Could we be coming out of the Superhero Slump?

If you consider yourself a feminist and genuinely believed all the sports and bathroom nonsense was a real issue, congratulations on being played like a cheap kazoo.

They need to ditch this law before the next General Election or it could genuinely have the power to swing some votes. You can argue about as many other policies as you want, but make it harder for angry men to access porn and abuse people on social media and they will do what it takes to undo it

I’ve seen several people respond with “Gawker had it coming”. I think most of them didn’t read the piece. Because as I argue in the piece whether Gawker “had it coming” is mostly beside the point. The key is the impact the case had on the law and the practice of journalism in its aftermath …

IYKYK.

Good to see this getting attention beyond the gaming sphere because they will not stop with games Gaming spaces are just the place where they test drive their awfulness – see GamerGate & and everything that has come after

In terms of fascist-bashing acumen, Starmer is starting to make Neville Chamberlain look like Indiana Jones.

I mean, on top of everything else: what a fucking loser. Absolutely pathetic.

I'd be excited about Tron Ares if it didn't star Jared fucking Leto. Why do they keep paying him?

🏳‍⚧ 100,000 people marched at London Trans+ Pride yesterday - but the BBC, Times, Telegraph & Daily Mail ignored it completely. These outlets publish dozens of anti-trans stories a week. But when trans people show joy, pride, and solidarity? 🦗 Silence. #TransPride #MediaBias Read why it matters ⬇️

There was a time when I would've been deeply saddened to hear that Hulk Hogan had died; he was a such a huge part of my childhood. Sadly, knowing what a vile, racist p.o.s. he really was, his passing seems wholly unremarkable.

Well, *I* loved "Superman."

You know what emergent tech of the last decade actually works well, and was adopted by millions? 3D printing. It’s great! So many applications. But also nobody is sneering at you for not having or utilizing 3D printing. Nobody is trying to sneak a 3D printer into your garage without your consent

If the best you can offer a voter bloc is "you hate us less" they will cease voting for you. You can bitch about this all you like but that's just the truth of things

It's actually kind of dark how Labour's pitch to the progressive left is increasingly "you have no other choice." Okay, leaving aside whether that's true or not: do you really expect a huge bloc of people to be okay with never getting to influence the direction of the country?

Real AF; I too would delay releasing new music for 8 years to avoid being trapped in a vehicle with James Corden

Caught between the Senedd and Westminster, Welsh Labour risks collapsing loyalty

I have no idea if this can or will work, but I think it's absolutely the thing to try.

This is, for me, where the Nazi/fascist parallels work best. ‘Good’ people did nothing as the awfulness escalated because they were justifiably terrified of getting their heads kicked in or killed. It’s about comparing similar points in the process as opposed to comparing end days with early ones.
