Hope the eagles get him

"...Abolishing Section 28 didn’t abolish homophobia, transphobia or any other -phobia. It just told the people who had those views, that quarter of the population that voted to keep the clause, to be quiet about it. And now those people are being given permission to be loud all over again."

This is absolutely glorious in its horror. More fuel for the anti AI fire. www.reddit.com/r/london/s/6...

The Christians were from Tuebrook, which is an excuse to post this: youtu.be/3bItv76BO_c?...

Remove any Labour councillors from mutual aid groups as a matter of urgent safety

What's this shite? Seen a few variations on it recently. An alt right meme or Labour cope? (Anyone who replies with "why not both" or other lazy non-answers is getting blocked).

Biggest Big Walk yet yesterday. 12000 steps. Took 2 full hours. Got as far as Tuebrook and Newsham Park.

ARMS EMBARGO ON THE UAE NOW British weapons are fuelling Sudan’s genocide through arms exports to the UAE! End the massacres and forced starvation of the Sudanese people now! ✍️ SIGN THE PETITION: caat.org.uk/sign-the-pet...

Last night's film www.imdb.com/title/tt0472...

For all his authentocrat wittering about the working class, Glasman is just an old-fashioned snob who doesn't want the cap-touching poors getting degrees but instead going to the new-fangled polytechnic, sir.

Emjoying this Simple Minds doc on BBC2 and particularly intrigued by Sharleen Spiteri sitting at home in front of her collection of paint tins.

NEWS! Children in Need celebrates raising less than half the amount Michelle Mone still owes the government for faulty PPE

Shit, I've logged on to Threads.

People acting like they want Woodward and Bernstein when they just want Popbitch.

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

Divorced, beheaded, died; divorced, beheaded, survived. The two wives of Henry the Reanimator.

In Britain, this disaster opened with three months of the most intensely focused all-channels propaganda I’ve ever seen - and that’s saying something. The immediate aim was to ensure that anyone who spoke up against it understood that the consequences would be harsh and immediate.

Steven Spielberg's feature-length directorial debut in the made-for-television action thriller movie "DUEL" starring Dennis Weaver premiered #OnThisDay in 1971 on the ABC television network 📺 Universal Television 🚛 🚗

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck? It's the Pope in 1982.

The whole war on “woke” and “cancel culture” was contrived to protect the worst people in our society and make it possible for them to keep doing despicable things to other people.

The Newsnight team watching a gender clinic being shut down.

Not looking in case Con Air isn't on there.

James Bond is a pseudonym for a series of different agents. Sorted. Youse can all get back to drawing anatomical diagrams of Thomas The Tank Engine now.

this is literally never not accurate

Three different things with the same suffix are different? Oh shit, I'd assumed a Geranium was the same thing as Uranium.

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months" China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

Yeah but some people on here like The One Show not having an ad break, so there's nothing we can do about it.

share.google/zWpO8eGSn5sF... Bend It Like Beckham has a bit where it's implied anti-Irish racism doesn't exist (and that it's hilarious to think that it does). I'm hoping that the author apologises and her next film is called Bend It Like The Birmingham 6.

In the famous Bee Gees classification system (Hair and Beard, Hair and No Beard, Bald and Beard), Robin was "Hair and No Beard".

Personally I'd be pleased to see BBC News disappear entirely. To argue, as many do, that British politics or our news environment would be so much worse without the BBC you have to explain why British politics and news environment is so very bad with the BBC.

Half my TL have turned into FBPEs because the BBC is being criticised. Happy to throw minorities under the bus for an advert-free Newsnight.

That's that woman youse all fancy and pretend is a good journalist because you fancy her.

Counterpoint. Fuck the BBC.

Perfect if, like me, you like reciting the routines while impersonating both.

The article makes good points about news journalism generally, but it's a fact that the BBC's news department is stuffed with extreme Tories, pro-Israel fanatics and TERFs. Inverse Hanlon's Razor applies here (never let malicious actors off the hook by assuming they must just be stupid).

I'll be home soon.

When I sit down too quickly.

Spent the weekend at my Dad's. He still bombards me with questions before immediately interrupting with an anecdote about some guy from down the bowling club before I can answer. Beginning to understand why I'm such a path of least resistance person irl.

10/10 albums? Youse won't like any of mine - they sound nowt like Linkin Park.

I started to believe in God again because the thought of Campbell burning in Hell for all eternity helps me sleep at night.

There's an irony in the fact that as the Tory party has fallen apart so its grip on the BBC has tightened. Farage & co have always been happy with the Corporation: the disproportionate coverage, the lack of real scrutiny etc. It's the Tories who remain its implacable foe.

It is now routine in the media to occlude 2017 entirely from political history. This isn't simply because it undermines the narrative of fragmentation and the replacement of class interests with "identity", but because it was an election that the media spectacularly called wrong.

Such a habitual liar that I can't even be sure Lisa Nandy is her real name.

I’d settle for media outlets that don’t e.g. pretend to be terrified that the police are racistly banning fascist football fans to curry favour with Muslims, because doing that is a handy distraction from the genocide everyone has either been ignoring or enabling. Doesn’t seem like a big ask.

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

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

Standing room only at the Physics conference. It was an Anti-de Sitter space.

A lot of people have parsed this as "please quote post with an authentocrat, Hovis advert anecdote about how poor you were growing up", which I don't think was the intent.

Right now if the BBC announced Alex Jones as the next DG, I'd have no idea which one.
