Ricky Gervais is a warning about what happens to you when you become absolutely certain you figured literally everything out in your 20s.

Dismantle the Labour Party and ban it from ever reforming, like Germany did in 1945. Every Labour minister belongs in fucking Strasbourg

Every Labour minister currently working is vermin.

Destroy the Labour Party and salt the earth.

thinking back to when i made an autogynephilia joke in a trans woman's replies, she took offence to it so i apologised and took the joke down. she then proceeded to write a passive-aggressive thread about what a piece of shit i was for making the joke that i had apologised for and taken down.

being real, folks, bluesky is miserable if you're using it for anything other than looking at porn. i'm way more active on tumblr because i kind of hate the main part of this website's userbase

Yep. There's this also this unshakeable belief that wealthy tradesmen can't be middle class because they wear overalls to work, but some poor sod stuck in a customer service centre is because they wear a lanyard and participate in dress down Fridays.

one time a few years ago i tried to do a Halloween tweetalong of THREADS (a film i had seen before). for the first half an hour i was making jokes. then the bombs fell. i pretty much immediately deleted the entire thread and went to bed.

Inventing a new word for when you excitedly invite your friends over to watch a horror movie they haven't seen before and then you realize the day of that it's a completely miserable, grueling experience

wish i could vote for a president...

Gender is like mayonnaise. Some would prefer to get rid of it but it's popular in the Netherlands.

bleakly funny how many racists refer to stuff like curries and fajitas as "ethnic slop". i know those motherfuckers think unseasoned chicken breast and plain rice is a good meal

🏳️‍⚧️ Who is the most trusted party on trans rights? To nobody's surprise, it's The Green Party with a net trust rating of +52 amongst trans people. No other party has a positive rating (not even the LDs). Via @YouGov / @GoodLawProject, 23 Jul-11 Aug

🚨 BREAKING | 9 in 10 transgender people distrust Labour on the issue of trans rights, reveals new poll. ✅ Trust – 9% ❌ Distrust – 91% Via @YouGov / @GoodLawProject, 23 Jul-11 Aug

Tell me, which side are you on, boys? Which side are you on? Tell me, which side are you on, boys? Which side are you on?

Caerphilly by-election won by Plaid Cymru as Labour loses seat for first time - BBC News "Labour's first defeat in the area for 100 years" Plaid Cymru – 15,961 Reform UK – 12,113 Welsh Labour – 3,713 The Starmer/McSweeney plan to drive Labour off the cliff is working perfectly.

Just took 93yr Mum to vote, she's registered blind. In a very loud voice she said, "Which box for foxhunting?" A cheer went up from waiting voters

Beth Hapworth, 29, who was diagnosed in childhood, loves trains and has never so much as attempted to fake eye contact by looking between someone’s eyes, is said to have “baffled” experts.

If Labour is continuing to lose votes, just got 11% in a by-election in a seat they've held for 100 years and in a few recent polls is equal to or just behind the Greens maybe we should stop suggesting they're the only thing that can defeat Reform.

telling people to subsistence farm is usually a dumb take but also how ignorant do you have to be to recommend it in late October lmao

A left wing politics that is oriented around your rights and identity as an individual consumer instead of your responsibilities as a member of a social or political community is basically a left aesthetic pasted onto an internalized neoliberal ontology.

The responses this post is getting, combined with the animating grievances of large swathes of politics, has convinced me we need a kind of society wide PSA about how Buying Things Is Optional. You don’t think video games should cost $100? Don’t buy the videogame. Buying Things Is Optional.

i will note again that there is a really unhealthy, unpleasant and strong current of consumerism that runs through the left in a way that genuinely didn’t used to be true

Stop treating political parties like football teams, Starmer isn't a manager having a bad run you can swap out ahead of the Euros

The thing I like about Chris Broad is the way he treats Japanese people as like, normal people. A Westerner making videos about Japan is always gonna have some Orientalist bias, but even his videos about Japanese etiquette are less "Isn't Japan weird!" and more "I try to show respect to my hosts."

Chris Broad, a guy who lives in and has made his living as a sort of cultural ambassador of Japan, made a video about the emerging content slop genre of "immigrants and tourists are destroying the pure, unconquered land of Japan" that ties in with its current right-wing swing. very interesting

TV Tropes is blocking access to the site not only if you have ad blockers on but location tracking off unless you want to subscribe to their $5 a month/$25 a year subscription plan. Even people who have turned their ad blockers off are reporting the site isn’t working. This all seems like a bad idea

[to the tune of Nightcrawlers' "Push the Feeling On"] Leave the Labour Party Leave the Labour Party Leave the Labour Party Leave the Labour Party

Seeing Labour supporters saying they just need to ditch Starmer to fix Labour. Have they not looked at the front bench? The policies? The gleeful transphobic & anti-migrant rhetoric? Starmer is a symptom of the rot, not the cause. People who consider themselves progressives must move on from Labour

racist, anti-palestinian and whorephobic. is that a bingo?

oh god please don't normalise the abundance movement

watching Orlando Bloom trying to act in the same scene as Ghassan Massoud is a bit like watching a toddler arm wrestle an adult who's graciously letting it win now and then

"Oxford commas are a sign you write with ai" I will find such a unique way to rip out your spine that they'll make a movie about it

all the libs think chappell roan is a fascist and closet trump supporter because she refused to endorse Madam Genocide, whereas i think she's one of the realest pop stars in history for that

>no source >surveys an incredibly narrow age gap >over the course of four years >it changes by literally 1-3% wow, ironclad proof that the trans thing is a passing fad, here

Fuck Roísín Murphy.

damn i'm starting to think "AI" proponents don't have any love for humanity or art

not to jinx it but i haven't seen one "calling it spooky season is racist because i don't understand etymology" take this year. so that's good

in any case, defending a guy with a Nazi tattoo is not post-leftism, it's redbrown succdem shit. i can tell which of you have vibes-based politics and which of you actually do the reading

got recommended youtube video of a guy being a bit of a dick on the london underground but otherwise hurting nobody, and a labour politician speaking in a foreign language being treated as "signs of what is happening to are cuntry". fascists are the most terminally scared provincial crybabies

love how people will just believe any old shit they read these days

please watch movies and read books and play games and look at art, please view it with your own eyes through a lens you made yourself and not just through video essayists and ending explained videos please im begging you
