The emergency of a faction who sincerely believe "we should probably raise taxes for a bit" is a right-wing position is one of the more baffling things to have happened on the internet the last few years isn't it

Gas masks still bloody terrify me. This @warfulcrumgames.bsky.social British Corporal is dangerously close to finished, once I get the gunk on his base and a little grime around his boots. Not all of 1918 was trenches and mud, but it's still kind of iconic for the Great War!

This site is absolutely chock full of people who have the precise sort of middling intelligence and mindless zealotry that the witch trials were started by and it probably cuts into your circle

Feels like cheating that a crucial point in my PhD prospectus is "everyone keeps quoting everyone else on this and isn't actually listening to the Oral histories" and yet

Please do share this doctoral opportunity with MA/MSt students - four years of AHRC funding to work on the history of children's play in Wales, supervised by me and the lovely and brilliant Dr Jacky Tyrie. Any questions get in touch! www.swansea.ac.uk/postgraduate...

It's a shape the editing removed all the detail from the shot in the episode: you can really appreciate here how the inside of the Outpost was designed to look semi-contamperanous with the NX-01 and other 22nd century interiors

This is, IMO, treason.

Lovely review, but when did British people start saying 'Rube Goldberg' instead of 'Heath Robinson'? This makes me sad.

Oh my god they're already doing a Salazar to him

this is absolutely deranged what are we even doing

⚡️ EU chief diplomat calls Olympics crowd boos of JD Vance a sign of 'European pride.' "Well, I guess we have heard a lot of not-so-nice words from the United States regarding Europe," EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said.

it was a public service and a benefit to the movement and you fucked it up

stancil's not meaningfully racist or transphobic or misogynist or whatever per the US median he is just incapable of ever not Posting Through It

who in the shit formatted this thing, lol

really enjoy being a foreigner living in Britain because like once a week the rest of the internet will make fun of the Brits for something and each time I get to choose between "hey buddy, watch out! that's my pals you're talking about!!" and "[whispering] oh thank god someone else has noticed"

My dad sometimes remarks that some men simply "don't believe women are people" and I think about it a lot

this has massive "don't come to school tomorrow" vibes, like jesus fuck

“Wes Streeting: consistently pro-Palestine”, an entirely true statement believed only by six people, three of whom are pro-Israel MPs on the right of the Labour party who will therefore not nominate him.

Think Streeting’s WhatsApps are a lot like Sunak’s “he’s been Eurosceptic since sixth form!”: wholly accurate, actually a pretty good guide to the man, believed by almost nobody.

One example I will give is that almost everyone I know who did one of the "in my shoes" unconscious bias trainings in 2020 actually found it really interesting and valuable.

It is I think an underrated parliament how very few people have actually worked recently (last 15 years) in professional services. The work-life balance thing comes from the fact households are working much more than in the 70s.

BREAKING: steamedhamms publishes his private WhatsApp messages. They reveal: :: He “deeply respects all his followers and their good judgement”. :: He’s semi-regularly getting 4-5 laugh reacts in the groupchat. :: Just some of the best banter you’ve seen in a while really.

I know people spell my surname badly but this takes the cake

Round of applause and cheers for Keir Starmer as he arrives to address Labour MPs at the PLP meeting Almost as loud as the response Theresa May and Boris Johnson got from Tory MPs before they were ousted

:: suggested govt had "no growth strategy at all" after Mandelson complained about econ philosophy. :: agreed with M’s comment that “govt problems do not stem from comms”, inferring PM was issue. :: said Israel was "committing war crimes before our eyes" & UK needed to recognise Palestinian state

Also if you get 4 year degree you should have lifetime access to all the journals through the university library because it’s really annoying when I cant get something I wanttttt, send skeet

Cheers, CLR James is crying

Apropos of nothing Bad bunny naming "all the American nations", including Jamaica and the forgetting the rest of the Caribbean says, uh, a lot

www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/02... The Telegraph is once again realising that people hate what they stand for, but it is the people's fault

Lol

starting to feel like there's a direct relationship between the growing obsession with lifestyle hygeine (no drinking, no caffeine, no sex, obsessive working out and looksmaxxing) and the inability to meaningful moral stands on issues of actual import

Not the first time he's talked about giving big ministerial jobs to unelected individuals, but afaik it's the first time he's linked it to 'support'... This is (another reason) why standards & vetting of appointments is so important

Problem with any anti-Starmer tweet that gets attention is I inevitably have to hear the thoughts of people who think Starmer is Blair 2.0, when a lot of the Starmer project's reactionary tendencies are an attempt to distance itself from the socially liberal aspects of Blairism

LFG

Look, all you need to know about the situation is that Green Day sang "American Idiot" at the opening and explicitly told ICE to quit their jobs at their show on Saturday and Bad Bunny said a bunch of stuff in Spanish and alllll the headlines and angry posts are about Bad Bunny. You know why.

Yes. People love to paint Corbyn and Starmer as opposites but there are throughlines over their tenures atop the Labour Party: corrosive, faux macho bullying, horrible appointments made for loyalty rather than competence, a sneering indifference to racism & gaslighting of its victims

These days, when you walk around Britain, you never see a smile… people hurry away from you, they don’t make eye contact… when you try and speak to them, they turn away… and that’s just my family!

quite funny that the entire Labour party has been spending months saying "let's wait for our Welsh and Scottish colleagues to be massacred before doing anything hasty" without really thinking through if anyone outside of England could hear them

if there were ever a compelling case why you should listen to our latest 2 podcast episodes about our 75th anniversary, it's this:

I think this might be it? What political base or core support can Starmer fall back on, now that No 10 is collapsing, the PLP is mutinous, and the leader of Scottish Labour is openly calling for him to go? The lack of an overwhelmingly obvious alternative seems a weaker and weaker barrier to me.

not on good terms with my husband’s beautiful girlfriend, ultraconservatism

The remarkable thing is Labour have basically made 'anti-child poverty' and 'climate change' the two core missions or this Government and... ... basically refuse to talk about one or them. Genuinely bizarre.

ah yes, the unrealistic timeline of Cyberpunk 2020
