In my mind, she's a lot like Mrs Columbo. Referenced all the time for an anecdote but never seen. So I'm waiting for the reveal she's actually Kate Mulgrew

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

This was agreed around the same time as the anti union paperwork showed up in the offices. Funny about that timing

We were robbed

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

Consider them ordered!!

I hope you add these to your shop! These are beautiful

The right can mock my teeth all it wants – it shows the Greens have struck a nerve | Zack Polanski As a politician, I expect opposition and debate. But when it centres on personal insults, not policies, something else is going on, says the leader of the Green party, Zack Polanski

I saw the Let's Learn Everything crew were on this one and I was so happy. Easily makes for fantastic listening :)

genuinely beautiful that new york elected a muslim lefty mayor the same day that dick cheney died

It's honestly phenomenal. Great humour and heart and I have cried a lot watching it's delicate treatment of the subject matter

I've been watching King of the Hill from the beginning as prep for the rebooted seasons from Hulu

Corner Gas is phenomenal. Up there with Dead Like Me for being an underrated but excellent early 2000s sitcoms with heart

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop.

“If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???”

Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.

It’s his day.

I have an even worse feeling about THIS:

Made a working window for my stop motion set. It didn't need to open and close, but it worked out that way!

91% of UK trans people don't trust the Labour Party, survey reveals 91% of trans respondents in a YouGov poll conducted between July and August, commissioned by the Good Law Project, said they distrust Labour.

I could devour bags of these until the teeth fell from my head quite happily

When Starmerites call me a 'Farage-enabler' for refusing to vote Neo-Labour, I remind them that the current 'centrist' leadership actively worked to put Boris Johnson into Number 10 rather than Jeremy Corbyn... #NeverCentrism

"I clicked the generate cartoon button and the computer made all the timings and designs for me"
"Uh huh."

It's such a terrible tool to see infecting the art world and medium I love

It seems pointless to fact check someone saying "curry isn't proper British food like fish and chips", just like it's futile to correct someone saying "there are no pronouns in the Bible". They haven't made a mistake. What they're saying is, "Britain is a white country".
