I'm not an economist so can someone explain to me what happens to the petrodollar if there is a global financial crash coupled with an equally massive drop in global energy demand? Is it good?

Great how you can open every window in the place and there's so little wind that the curtains don't even move. Like being in a brick oven.

*glances at TV schedule* I'm so glad I muted #Eurovision a couple of weeks ago. A miserable event, music-washing genocidal, sadistic #Israel, which is STILL busy slaughtering & torturing Palestinian and Lebanese civilians. Fuck Israel, fuck Eurovision.

she's not a neonazi obsessed teen. she's a neonazi teen.

How very, very, VERY strange that neither the BBC nor The Guardian nor The Times any of the myriad organisations that claim to protect the interests of Jewish communities have seen fit to mention this.

sort of fair play to him for dusting himself off and spending a few days figuring out who were the biggest marks he might be able to get on side and landing on #FBPE

Just thought of a new game 'Dutch or Star Wars' . Unfortunately I'm too cool to know anything about either of those.

The thing no one tells you about starting ADHD meds is that you suddenly find a lot less time for posting. Probably not worth wondering why that is.

NGL I assumed this was just more star wars characters names

This headline confused the shit out of me until I realised it was a Dutch website.

The world cup is going to be an absolute shit show and I for one am excited about it.

Please do miliband 2.0 I really think it'll work this time after all the lessons you've definitely learned since last time.

Other countries have proper politics, I'm so jealous. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Oh the MP that got her constituents arrested for asking her valid questions about Gaza and was pictured promoted gambling at a food bank? It’s getting real y’all!

Nothing but the big stories at the economist.

Even the most expensive beer is cheaper per pint than Coca Cola

Can Americans just not shoot straight unless they're aiming at kids?

"The latest poll says we'd get less seats that Plaid Cymru" "In Wales, right?" "..." "In WALES, right?"

So cool that we had Ed Milliband downplaying the environmental impact of these things as some nebulous unknowable

Starmer on Sept 10th: "Full due process was followed during this appointment" Starmer on Feb 5th: "There was then security vetting carried out independently by the security services, which is an intensive exercise that gave [Mandelson] clearance for the role" He was lying.

Exactly one year ago today:

Here it is recorded in Hansard hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2026...

All our concerns about “your party” confirmed. Yikes yikes yikes.

Guys, please nothing inappropriate with this one, the Peppa Pig font & logo generator is live now!

If you can't do the Chico time don't do the Chico crime

Guess we'll have to contaminate the waterways without them

Americans on here keep saying that it's so hard to do anything because their state is so oppressive, but resistance movements get built out of shit like this. If you can focus this energy just a little you can really fuck with the money.

After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X. This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue. 🧵 (1/5) www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

A reminder, again, that the establishment have to maintain that the Corbyn era was a non stop cascade of Hitlerian racism because otherwise their response - a decade of public pants shitting, Boris Johnson, diamond hard Brexit and Keir Starmer - seems like an insane overreaction.

Translation: Israel broke the cease fire to do more ethnic cleansing... again

Happy Dead Thatcher Burn In Hell Day everyone

Every British PM succumbs, eventually, to the delusion that they're all Great Statesmen who can fix the world by showing up and Being British.

I actually think these people should be in great discomfort. Maximum, eternal discomfort.

People will straight up tell you these things are the same because "populism"

Is the Government still claiming the UK isn't involved in this war?

This one is particularly infuriating. They were dead against it and so was every Sensible™ Labour Ultra on here who trumpets its abolition now (albeit some with a heavy heart ofc 🙏).

Never been happier to know that Starmer is invested in a personal bond with the mad king and shares his family values!

Shut the fuck up you stupid robot

Labour on a real streak of fucking over animal welfare atm

If only we could fly Zef Cochrane style

This is the company that argued fresh water was not a human right. All the best of luck to the thieves.

My entire adult life has been one "oops there's another once in a lifetime crisis, time to tighten your belt" after another and you don't need to be a genius to see whose wormed their way out of tightening their belt and for whom that's been mandatory at every turn.

Jesus was crucified in the seat of Calvary and Golgotha because his uncosted plans of feeding the poor did not play well on the doorstep.

Slightly confused why so many people are spending time arguing with someone whose only objection to fascism seems to be the economics, but idk I've wasted effort in dumber ways on here.

Make it even more unprofitable than it already is you mean?
