I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.

Miaow!

Simon Harris is trying to get the votes of people who smeared shit on ballots and have called for TDs to be hanged... Good luck with that

Dooooom folk cover of Ghost Town by the best to ever do it. Set your faces to stunned.

Apparently Tom Lehrer did not actually say he was retiring from songwriting after Henry "We will bomb them back to the stone age" Kissinger was awarded the peace prize because satire couldn't top that. But he did later say he wished he actually had come up with that zinger.

In these dark times

When so much is so fucked up

And when I need an instant pick-me-up

I pull out

The image of DJ with the phone charger stuck up his nose

There is hope in joy

We all love Guardian Columnist Monkey

"Catherine Connelly became the 10th President of Ireland with 63% of the vote. Here's why that's bad news for the Left, and good news for a Yank freak who thinks the cushions in Crumlin Childrens Hospital are covered in pro-paedophile symbols."

The fun police need to get in the sea

(Preferably a pirate-infested one)

My personal favorite skull. If you haven’t listened to the Locked Tomb series I can’t recommend it enough.

I rolled straight from the first book to the second as was like "Wait. That's not the same story I just listened to. WTAF is going on here!?!"

Cannot wait for Alecto

dog training 101: you get what you pet

worth applying to politics as well. when you're criticizing an action people take "taking the better action next time" is only one of the alternatives people will consider, and worth remembering that "not bothering at all" is another.

Ballot paper smeared with suspected excrement found in Cork count centre The ballot has been retained and placed in a biohazard bag.

OK, re my previous post on calling them soiled ballots rather than spoiled, I was not expecting anyone to be so literal. But there you go

Pretty sure Elon Musk is aiming to put Nazis on Mars in the near future

They say spoiled
We say soiled

Ballot papers covered with racist crap are not spoiled votes. They're soiled votes

Guys, you're agreeing with me that the rightwards shift of the Overton window (look up where that name came from, btw) is NOT a natural process. However Clinton's triangulation and Ezra Klein's shtick presents as "merely following the people" which assumes that it is, and we shouldn't fight it

"It's a crazy idea... but it just might work!"

I did not know specialising in heist economics was an option. My life has been wasted.

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

Wrong. It's worse than that. For almost four decades the default Dem position is that "what normies care about" is a moving target that is moving inexorably to the right through some magical natural process to do with capitalism and must therefore always be followed without question

A flyer advertising an anti-fascist gig at the Central Club in Richmond, 1990s.

I can't remember if I made it to this one but here's a flyer for an anti-fascist gig in Melbourne sometime in the 1990s. 14 bands for five dollars with proceeds to the 'Black Star Club', an organising project to raise funds to establish an anarchist social centre.

I realize that all the "we are going to win" inspiration posting codes as aesthetically liberal (being left is being unimpressed) and invites the responses you'd guess from a certain genre of more radical than thou poster but still surprised at the particular condescension strategies people go for

Not convinced that "hope is counter-revolutionary" is as radical a slogan as some of the posers think it is

In this degraded era of influencers touting NFTs of cartoon apes in Dubai, there's honestly something wholesome about a good old-fashioned jewel theft in Paris.

It's a well known fact that the core element of the uileann pipes is a localised wormhole that allows for an impossible arrangement of pipes and tubes that the eye glides over until you try mapping out their actual positions on paper

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe" Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

"calls into question, why are the Government not doing something about it?"
Unfortunately the answer is easy. Managing floods like this would need landscape scale action including rewilding rivers and rewetting land and the government are fundamentally opposed to anything positive for nature
