Be careful! During Halloween, the veil between our world and the great beyond is at its thinnest. You will never be in more danger of becoming an actual slutty nurse

One of several fatal flaws tbf

Are you starting to get it? He was always going to hit us. You will not change the math by insisting that people assume some magical form of perfect victimhood that somehow reels in a monster. That's not real. And I am so sick of hearing it.

He was always going to do this. Chicagoans have not rioted, so the administration just lied and said we have. We have not attacked ICE agents, so they just lied and said we did. There was no chaos here, so they created chaotic scenes by attacking people and filmed that shit.

A country highly dependent upon a huge immigrant workforce you say…

Everyone who advocates for turning the UK into the UAE assumes they'll be the one with a marina penthouse rather than the guy working on a building site in 50c heat

By integrating sharia law into our legal system? Not bothering with democracy?

This is like one of those pics you used to see in the Guinness Book of Records.

Am wondering if all of those suddenly deciding they’re against communities living “parallel lives” might reconsider their support of religious schools? Or indeed private ones?

A literal billionaire took health insurance from 15 million Americans, and they're telling you to blame immigrants.

normal person: i just want a place to hang out with my friends
tech weirdo: and shitheads
np: no just my friends
tw: but what about hearing alternative views on race and gender?
np: we just want to hang out and goof around
tw: so where do the shitheads fit in then
np: no shitheads
tw: not following

what if I told you that taking accountability for your actions was traditionally considered a load-bearing feature of masculinity?

if that HIGNFY Euan Blair fuckup had been about a right-winger it'd have had full front-page scandal coverage in the Mail followed by frontpage coverage across the board for the next week, days of "BBC in crisis" headline coverage by the BBC, and parliamentary questions about Tim Davie's future

Labour said economic growth was it's number one priority - it underpins everything it wants to do, and overrides everything else

Yet the government has become dominated by, and fanned the flames of, anti-growth politics. The economy needs immigration. A failure of leadership on their own terms

Something fundamental has broken in the brains of elites. No matter how many op-eds they read, write and publish denouncing identity politics, they still think it's a heterodox viewpoint you can't find anywhere.

It’s hard to get your head around, but the president and senior members of his cabinet are spoiling for civil war *for absolutely no reason*.

The three biggest political parties are all obsessed with the same tiny portion of the electorate. A portion that hates two of them

A Texas megachurch pastor and GOP leader has been arrested for crimes against children. Not Robert Morris, a different one. Not Josiah Anthony, a different one. Not Luke Cunningham, a different one. Not Tony Evans, a different one. Not Scott Crenshaw, a different one. Not Steve Lawson, a different o

Tech billionaires?

How the hell have we ended up with a consensus among our political elites is that the nation's biggest bogeyman is people opposing a genocide

Glad he ate his spinach today

Is that Popeye?

A club statement from Blackpool saying Steve Bruce has been sacked along with coaches Steve Agnew and Stephen Clemence. Stephen Dobbie and Steve Banks will take temporary charge.

You don’t have to be called Steve or Stephen to work at Blackpool, but it does help.

Many pundits today are pushing the line that everyone who protests the genocide in Gaza is basically either antisemitic or tolerant of antisemitism. But isn't that precisely the conflation of the actions of the Israeli gov't with all Jewish people, which is at the heart of this wave of antisemitism?

Not "extremes". ONE extreme. There are no front-line governing politicians in the USA, UK or most other places promoting Stalinism.

And it is not extreme to be wholeheartedly in favour of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law.

This. We need SOMEONE to stand up and show leadership.

The biggest barrier to the widespread adoption of renewables, is the fact that the richest, least intelligent, most self-important, fashiest 50 dudes in the US, wasted the low interest rates of the 2010s investing in monkey jpegs instead of solar cells and battery production.🤡

Now they fear China.

Amongst other things, this is the problem with the "triangulate with Farage" theory of Labour government - the right does not have a limited list of demands - every time you try to appease them, they just go further.
