World's least surprising stat, now with alt text:

In some good news, thankfully this argument carried the day and we're not importing the tremendously harmful Nordic Model. Full decriminalisation now!

Forensic Architecture's investigation of the murders

Watching The Voice of Hind Rajab, one is forcefully reminded of the way the Israeli army used a six year old child as bait to murder emergency responders, before murdering the child.

And one is confronted with the impossibility of living in the world in which that happened consequence free.

In a world where every single children's book written by an LGBT author risks getting banned and the author pedojacketed by pedo-protecting republican politicians I really don't wanna use rhetoric that encourages this kind of attitude

My favorite (derogatory) climate denier argument: emissions reduction in one state will not fix all of climate change, so we shouldn’t do anything.

A perfect distillation of the sterile cult of individualism, right there.

Yeah a while back I read MONSTERS: A FAN'S DILEMMA by Claire Dederer and it left me a little bit frustrated because I felt that it didn't really grapple with this knowledge. Like, it grabbed it and then let it go immediately; it didn't engage.

I did like --

Going to actually lose my mind at establishment libs being like "what works better, mutual aid and cop watching or my stereotype of anarchists?"

Sir, anarchists are absolute sluts for mutual aid and cop watching. It's like 90% of their deal

I mean, I haven’t accidentally given tickets to a convicted child rapist, have you?

Some of the tidbits in @mackeza.bsky.social's Super Nintendo are amazing. The Ravel-Zelda link is amazing.

Neil Gaiman Seeks $500,000 From Accuser Caroline Wallner The author says Wallner broke her NDA by sharing her story with the media, including with New York Magazine.

Second thing: Neil Gaiman coming back? In this economy? No, bro, go count your money and stfu. As of APRIL of 2025, he was SUING one of his (alleged) survivors! I HAVE A SNEAKING SUSPICION THE RICH, ENDLESSLY GLORIFIED MAN DID NOT DO THE FUCKING WORK FAM! www.vulture.com/article/neil...

furthermore, fuck Neil Gaiman

Oh for SURE, I just wish I'd managed to get one!

People like to praise SpaceX, but let's be real: it was founded on the dream of ridding Earth of Elon Musk by shooting him into space, and it has yet to accomplish this feat

Sold out within 2 hours? Come on, please do another larger run! This is the tshirt of the moment!

This falls down a little on the fact I'd totally read a novel written by a hungry ghost trapped in a jar, but a plagiarism machine not so much

And then all too rarely you have to put it on hiatus as they bring out a new thing eligible for the standard awards?

I feel like the word "dox" has lost all meaning. Doxxing is posting someone's PRIVATE info, like their tax identifier, in order to facilitate crimes against them. Identifying someone by name is not "doxxing," and identifying a public servant by name is not unethical.

Reminding you that Britain was trying to deport people to Rwanda throughout the last year's of the previous administration and set up a floating prison for refugees that lasted 2 years.

This American Exceptionalism is weird and when people buy into it our history of our racism is erased.

Expert says trans children's rights are not being respected Following the publication of new research, Dr Ruth Pearce says that the government and public bodies must 'genuinely consult' with trans young…

An expert academic says that trans' children's rights are not being respected in Scotland, and that the government must confront the "eliminationist" campaign against them.

he should gather up all the last surviving vestiges of not-cryptofascist-neoliberal-cunt Labour and just fuck off and form a new party standing proudly in the centre of milquetoast moderate liberalism, they could call it the Social Democrat Party or something, that would be a deep cut and hilarious

*Looks at second sentence* So it's a legalized lynching law

if you enjoyed that Glaswegian trans woman arranging to get publicly booted in the balls wait until you see Labour’s 2026 Gorton and Denton by-election campaign

This is what epistemic vandalism looks like. Not just erasure, but insisting on a standard of communication that is by default dehumanizing, degrading and degendering, laundered as neutral language on pseudoscientific grounds.

Encoding bias into how we are even referred to.

I'm always amazed that people seem to not know this. Believe me, as someone who worked in construction & had their workplace raided - & nearly got carted off during the raid because we were taking too long, in their opinion, to find the p/copy of my UK passport - UK immigration raids happen.

So they chose factionalism over stopping fascism…

And the labour party died as it lived, with smug self congratulatory factional backstabbing

What can you say but lol lmao

"Now the fascist paramilitary is in full force, unconstrained by anything, I finally can see what everyone was telling me when I could have tried to do something to stop it. I am good at politics."

If you thought your “only a rich man could be powerful” bogeyman George Soros was scary wait’ll you meet the collective strength of the working class

“Do violent video games make you violent” as a moral panic was such a shame because it elided the position of violence in the narrative, which DOES have real implications. Playing DOOM does not make you violent, but playing COD does propagandize you into supporting the American imperial project
