I miss the person I was before I learned about the existence of the sloptube industrial complex. Please just let me receive news and political analysis from one of the few outlets that doesn't make me wanna kms.

A bunch of deranged communities that hate Hasan Piker have spent the past two days astroturfing claims he uses a shock collar on his dog.

They are saying this because she is "too well-behaved" when he's streaming and yelped because she tripped and snagged her dew-claw one time as big dogs do.

Absolutely wild to see all the worst people online melting down over completely fabricated animal cruelty claims against the owner of the healthiest, happiest, best-cared-for dog on the planet.

Bit worrying how many normies are buying into it, mind, but it’s not news how brain-broken the world is

Home Secretary: Freedom of speech is a sometimes right to be reserved as a treat for cheat days

Huge news for science fiction writers

This upset a man, which means I must make this happen or else his tears will mean nothing.

This is HORRIBLE.

It's not Jewish people's fault, what's being done to Gaza.

And it's not Gazans fault, What's been done to Manchester.

It's not hard to avoid victim blaming both sides, and it's beyond disappointing that apparently Mahmood isn't capable of understanding that.

Done. Women lying around in ponds is in fact a pretty robust system of government, and it pisses me off to see them being pushed around like this.

Trying to remove women from ponds would surely also throw the sword economy into absolute shambles, with knock-on impacts on the amount of people able to go on noble quests to vanquish beasts and things of that nature, you raise an important and timely concern!

I'm hoping this will help to filter out some of the spam/bot responses from the well-funded vocal minority that is the anti-trans lobby, but would hate for genuine responses to be missed.

TERFs are trying to bully a beloved London public swimming space into throwing out their longstanding traditions/policies in order to force trans people out of using the space.

SHIVERS - I NEED YOU. YOU CAN KEEP ME ON THIS EARTH. BE VIGILANT. I LOVE YOU.

Yeah it aired here when I was about 13 and irreversibly altered my brain chemistry. Did a re-watch like two months ago to indoctrinate one of my buddies. Am so misguidedly loyal to it I had a grudge against Once Upon a Time for YEARS because MY nostalgia show did it first, dammit

New for patrons at Patreon.com/voidburger, it's episode TWO of Media From The Void, covering the second half of the first episode of The 10th Kingdom (they're feature length)!

Any amount of money gets you in on this podcast! And the video version for the $3 tier should be up too! Exposition dog!!

EXCUSE ME WHAT THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SHOWS OF ALL TIME EVER

Additional fun detail is I haven't been able to work for the past couple of weeks anyway because I'm in the worst episode of suicidal crisis I've experienced in years. Securing housing felt like a glimmer of hope. For 3 minutes.

The Devil works hard but the DWP works faster.

I declared a change of circumstances when I started part time work earlier this summer. 8 hours per week, permitted work, permitted pay levels.

DWP now threatening to take my entire income away if I don't provide a letter from my DWP-approved support worker. I have never had or been offered one.

The timing of this was poetic. Got an email confirming that the estate agent has accepted me as a new tenant for a property I really liked. Three minutes later a DWP letter hit the doormat.

Has not escaped my notice that this is a number that will by its very nature be used by a lot of neurodivergent people. What a way to make already anxious and dysregulated people even more fucked up before they even get to speak to a human.

Five minutes of this and I'm ready to confess to every unsolved cold case in the country.

DWP hold music is an act of aggression and chosen to deter people from accessing support. Heavy and jangly so it sounds like distorted dogshit through phone speakers and wildly fluctuating volume levels at random intervals. This is literally a torture method employed by militaries.

Oooh wait everybody in the house and some of the neighbours are having problems with our mobile signals today too across multiple networks, maybe it IS a disturbance in the force and for once it is NOT VM fuckery.

Did an EMP hit a major Virgin Media server or are they literally just this shit?

(Rhetorical question, we all know)

Refusal to enter the Torment Nexus will only hasten the Torment

ID cards of course being a policy that famously did wonders for the popularity and duration of previous Labour governments

If this intends to make it legally compulsory for every adult in Derry to carry something called a "Brit Card", then I'm willing to offer some high-paid consultancy on why this plan might be flawed.

I can already tell “sorry, it’s the paracetamol !” Is gonna be my excuse for everything for a while

Mural of Paddington near the main entrance of Waterloo station. Text: “Mrs Brown says that in London everyone is different and that’s why everyone fits in.”

To any friends in the US (or the UN):
London is safe, friendly and not about to adopt Sharia law.

Careful, statements like that could get your late night talk show cancelled for a week

Sorry about the pattern recognition, my mum took paracetamol while she was pregnant with me and here we are
