breakthrough for "silly songs you sing to yourself while doing chores" was remembering "clean" rhymes with "machine". every day a gift

"Are there even any-" it doesn't matter. Banning the few trans athletes isn't the point. The point, from Trump's ban on trans people in government to Britain's bathroom ban to Newsom's sports ban, is to make sure everyone knows trans women are OTHER and to act accordingly to us in their daily lives.

Honestly terrifying that the BBC can run an unhinged story about lesbians being forced to have sex with trans women, with one of the main sources being a rapist who responded to the story's publication by calling for trans people to all be hung, and the Official Consensus is they are too pro-trans

This term is so social media-brained. Coined by people who can't imagine themselves without an audience, or that anyone could genuinely want to pass time in any other form than Stare at Phone

Worth noting that the Biden administration could have found some pretext to stop the sale, especially when Musk was begging for it to be stopped, but instead just stood there drooling as a key social network was turned over to the hard right

*Sigh* Churchill didn't hate "fascism", nor did he have an opinion of "we don't debate fascists". He supported the fascist forces in the Spanish civil war and in the 1930s said Nazi antisemitism "was a hindrance and an irritation, but probably not a complete obstacle to a working agreement."

COBBLER: Oh woe is me! I'm too poorly to finish these fine leather shoes! ~next day~ COBBLER: Goodness! My work was finished overnight with perfect craftsmanship by kindly elves! ~that night~ COBBLER: (loudly) Oh how dearly I need to shave my armpits, pubic mound, legs and anus with no razor burn!

give the BBC to Mr Beast

It's so cool that when the right person lands a direct hit on ol' Elon he can't stop from lighting up and spinning his bowtie like a carnival game clown

It is fantastically BBC to have the DG resign over mis-quoting Trump mere days after Trump experienced an absolute tidal wave of terrible election results.

Things are fine.

Like why would the bbc need to ‘balance’ its cover of the US in this way? When the BBC covers, say, Xi critically should it also run a programme dedicated to the CCP’s achievements?

I’ll never forget seeing a transformative law on mould in social housing go behind 3 migrants crime stories

Big Boy Pick 6 causing a scorigami... there's so much beauty in the world

A funny thing is that you can just ignore the right wing press and be fine. They still can't make anything stick to Nicola Sturgeon for example. But they have Labour and the BBC utterly cowed.

genuinely when you're online arguing that the graphs say the economy is good actually, what do you expect people to say? what is the end result you're hoping for? for everyone to stop complaining about their personal starvation, evictions and medical debt because a line is going up somewhere?

I imagine @nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social will be getting the usual abuse for speaking out - solidarity with her and all those fighting against hate manipulated by the wealthy right gleefully creating a distracting wedge issue

lol she got his ass and he knows it

average ICE officer handling their gun in public

My theory about Joyce Carol Oates is that all her bad posts are her charging up like Godzilla's spines until she lets loose with a radioactive blast that leaves the world's richest Nazi a pile of ash

Huge fan of the games but absolutely no interest in this because “Star Trek but they constantly shoot people” is probably the future of Star Trek itself

Why didn’t the guy in Memento just use a diary

Funniest outcome is that we basically see what he just did repeated: loses the primary to a bright young progressive, loses the general under a sore-loser banner

goodness me trossard whit a hit

Making Trump own a 20% increase in cancelled flights ahead of Thanksgiving is the kind of thing Democrats could really achieve by holding their ground, something tangible that will stick in people's minds for years

I made a “how do you do, fellow kids?” joke to someone in their mid 20s who, it turns out, was too young to have heard of that meme. So “how do you do, fellow kids?” is now an example of “how do you do, fellow kids?”

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Make no mistake, this excavation wouldn’t be happening if Catherine Corless hadn’t stuck her neck out and defied people telling her to leave it alone. But the scale of this is unimaginable. It’s not just M&B homes, it’s laundries, it’s industrial schools, it’s giant psych hospitals.

again I ask, what is the upside of this technology

an arsenal-united title race? we are so back

All these Labour bed wetters who moan about not getting enough positive air time or decrying the greens etc lack so much self awareness, maybe you’re just shit and no one likes you, idk
