Day of the Triffids remake disappoints

this will always be my etched-on-my-brain memory of the sensibles responding to anything that was not "business as usual but with them i charge"

companies like Uber have used surge pricing for a while

just wait til supermarkets start doing this. hot days? water prices go up. raining? umbrella prices go up

technology is all there to do it - and do it with seconds of notice

and to think we were promised flying cars and laser swords

Assume some other bar had counted "genocide balls"?

"replies disabled"

FFS. when you are ignoring experts because of vibes, you are responsible

if you beat your kid you'd be castigated, the tabloids would hang you out to dry

same should be with vaccines and health. not vaccinating your child is abuse and you should not be allowed have kids

In opposition, you looked at the vindictive Tory Home Sec like Patel or Braverman or Cleverly and think "how awful they are"

I knew Labour had the capacity for bastardry, but never thought they outdo the Tories

They are a sham of a party

Arrest for the possession of an offensive porridge??

If this is the worst the met have to deal with, there should be serious thought given to disbanding or at the very least cutting significantly budgets

Unknown Unknown received too many pelters

It sounds dumb, but it's actually a really useful term

It's association with Rumsfeld tarnished it unfairly

nothing puts off voters like refusing to incinerate a school load of small children

seems those who trumpet the loudest for war are the same who are happy to be safe at home and allow others to do the dying. like always

that looks awesome

A bag of dicks would be more useful

Windows and it's associated applications were never great, but they worked ok and you got used to them

They are now all much worse

And we just have to tolerate it because what employers are pivoting to Linux?

My employer has recently moved to "new" outlook and it's infuriating

By every measure worse than the previous version

And copilot can f*** off

I would expect her to go to the first available country and seek refuge there, rather than travelling all the way to the UK to be burnt out of a hotel by her friends

Always has been

Did we think Murdoch bought the Sun and other associated press in the UK for the good of his health in the 70s and 80s?

It's just a lot more blatant now, and they have so much money they can buy everything

A bastard. Some would say a useful one

Can't say if the UK would have stood with or without his input, but we can say there are several instances that are swept under the rug in the lauding of him

The Bengal "famine" not being the least

string Sarah Ditum exposing her imaginary cleaner to COVID vibes

EGGS! EGGS IS TOO EXPENSIVE!!!

It's classic. They just don't want to understand

You are wrong to genocide

Vs

You are not genociding quickly enough

Both complaints about genocide, but from very different perspectives

Some would say the sensible centre is between both, when it is very obvious which one is better

She hasn't had much to do since the Mueller investigation ended with a whimper

Total moron being a total moron, but not special in that regard currently

I am standing in a shop in a foreign country sharing a video made on my phone. This phone also has a function that would allow me to type in the word "Zaatar" and find out what it is.

Please send help.

That paragraph starting "Amid..." Reads like what happened to the UK during the Brexit campaign

But by Russian influence, so Farage doesn't mind that

tru nuff

culture existed when music companies gatekept music - you still had bands and artists creating

the culture is not the distribution - it is the art

if people throw up their hands because the baddies now own their favorite TV show, there are other TV shows

join a library

thrift shop DVDs

i am sure the Mandelson expose has impact here

if he was still under cover manipulation, Wes would be briefing like crazy

as it is, they will keep their powder dry, maybe a stalking donkey candidate when the May elections have a similar outcome as G&D

as for the left? they are no more in labour

i hate to invoke Godwin's Law, but i didn't know Hitler personally

Starmer and the party he leads has used hatred of immigrants, ethnic minorities, the Trans community, LGBT more broadly, disabled people, his own party members as messaging

hate is a strong term, Starmer and his enablers has earned

since they ousted Corbyn, they have changed the rules - so no one can challenge them

look at how they treated Burnham's offer to stand in G&D

they are locked in their echo chamber, reinforcing each other. just shows every accusation they had about the Corbyn lead party was a confession. amateurs

the problem is, since they pushed out Corbyn, the Labour party has changed its systems.

so not only has the Starmer Gang taken control of the ship and set a course for the heart of the sun, we are all locked out of the cockpit

they shown their hand, excluding Burnham from the ballot

this is why MAGA or whatever they want to be called actively undermine trust i elections. they know they don't have a critical mass to win, so they look for excuses to overturn or just stop elections outright

one of the flaws with the "brunch" dems is they think there will be free, fair elections

I don't like crocs. Or pyjamas

But who gives a fuck? Travelling is generally shit, esp for those in the cheap seats, so being comfortable should be something encouraged

And, what kind of pompous twat thinks their shit airport is a moral arbiter of rubber shoes?
