I’d love news coverage to talk about how political events will affect me as a person, rather than how it’ll impact politicians / parties.

Given the nature of their political stance, the consequences of a Green Party win for *humans beings* seems more important than its effects on the Labour Party.

And the picture!!! If you ever needed a great example of how AI lazily reproduces sexual stereotypes (and other stereotypes) then this is IT!!! FFS

anyone familiar with British politics will know that any news that isn't entirely negative will be closely followed by a sustained bombardment of misery that will make you want to fucking die. but currently it's Friday, it's payday, and the fascists have lost

It's why i always dress up as saruman of many colours

Is it just me picking up on the 'polanski drug-rape' thing here? Like, are they trying to smear the greens using the fact that zach has the same surname as roman polanski? And hoping people will just confuse the two people? Do we think that's calculated or unfortunate?

the way labour ppl on here talk to greens like me when for 20 years i was a labour member

labour abandoned us so we looked around and noticed that the greens better represent us than labour do

most of us are former labour party members and activists

we're the ppl starmer told to fuck off

As a cis person, you are owed a county where trans people can participate unrestricted and unoppresed in a public life equal in freedom and dignity to your own

if you are not granted this, the state has made you an oppressor

if you do not challenge iniquity, you brand yourself one

The core of right wing governance--really the only thing it does effectively--is tormenting people

#kakapo breeding "fridge" update.
Good news: 9 chicks hatched, and 123 fertile eggs in total - including all three 4 year old females having fertile clutches!
Bad news: a few egg deaths in the last couple of days.
Kākāpō breeding seasons are a roller-coaster! #kakapo2026 📸: Lydia Uddstrom

One of the things that makes me the most angry about this is that it risks completely erasing the recent innovations that have made distance-learning actually good and useful and capable of massively broadening access to quality education

and “judeo-christian” is not, in fact, a thing. it is a polite veneer for Islamophobia. you either take all the abrahamic religions as a group or you take them individually or you are being racist. I’m not saying Danny and Robert made their choice here but uh

anyway, the REAL founding tradition of Great Britain is paganism, and you know what yes we should get back to our roots of feasting and fucking and sacrificing failed rulers to the bog

Stop the Tories and Reform in House of Commons Vote tactically in House of Commons to stop the Tories and Reform

If your priority is stopping Reform you need to know who to vote for to do it. This site has the answer. 👇🏻

Just endless, endless bollocks

...You'll even get a panel that uses a split diopter!

And you'll get better than all this.
Plus a pretty mental story.

The second #kakapo chick of the #kakapo2026 breeding season hatched this morning: Hine Taumai-A1-2026 on Ako's nest on Te Kākahu. We transferred the egg from Anchor two nights ago. This is Ako's first-ever chick, which is just a few hours old in this video. #conservation #birds #parrots

Oh, we'd be 'weaker and poorer' without ai would we? I can't imagine living in a weak, poor uk, because things are so fucking secure and prosperous right now, oh my i think i'm going to splode.

Wait, is that /the/ george osborne? George 'austerity' osborne? Gosh george, i'd hate to live in a country that felt like it was being left behind.

You can make the new He-Man movie look more vintage by the power of greyscale.

Truly the most stupid timeline. At a point in time where renewable energy has tipped into genuine widespread viability, capital invents whole new ways to fabricate waste and scarcity.

My world, my Earth is a ruin. A planet spoiled by the human species. We multiplied and fought and gobbled until there was nothing left, and then we died. We controlled neither appetite nor violence; we did not adapt. We destroyed ourselves. But we destroyed the world first.

Okay, I’ve heard all the criticisms. I agree now that my plan to create a Jonestown on Mars was foolish and dangerous. I will instead be building a much more achievable Jonestown on the Moon

I think a big issue with modern game development is the disconnect between responsibility and accountability. The people in charge are theoretically responsible for the overall state of the game, but when a game does poorly a texture artist who did a great job is laid off.

Yesterday we found juvenile female #kakapo Ongaonga on a nest on Pukenui/Anchor Island. At just under 4 years old (her hatch day is 12th Feb), she's the youngest female ever recorded nesting. Today we also found Matilda nesting - she's just 2 days older. #kakapo2026 #conservation #birds

It's not just that they get rid, the closest thing the UK has to a national religion is the feeding frenzy when they realise the PM is a lame duck where everyone at all levels of all parties moves in to get a bite or two in and they eat their prey alive before choosing the next tribute as PM

ELF REEVES: More than ever this year 3 [Father Keir reads one out:] “Dear Father Keir I am writing to cancel my Labour Party membership…” Awww how sweet 4 “I have truly believed for 40 years, but now I’ve had enough.” 5 “Please please please this year can you deliver some policies that aren’t craven right wing bullshit?” 6 FATHER KEIR: Well, I think we know what to give this good boy don’t we? Elf Mahmood! 7 [Show SHABANA MAHMOOD as an elf poking her head round a doorway to afactory full of busy elves, above the door is a wooden sign reading CRAVEN RIGHTWING BULLSHIT FACTORY] ELF MAHMOOD: What. 8 FATHER KEIR: Do we have any performatively cruel immigration stuff left? 9 ELF MAHMOOD: We've got ‘stealing their belongings and a 20-year wait for settled status’…? 10 FATHER KEIR: In the sack, please! [Elves Mahmood and Reeves push the big sack into the sleigh as father Keir climbs in the driver’s seat] 11 And off we goooo!

Forgot to post this one

i think Screamers is a better Philip K Dick adaptation than anyone gives it credit for and a big time Didn't Know How Good We Had It movie. we thought THIS was what Cheap Crap looked like. bro it's got whole ass sets and props and there's MULTIPLE lighting setups
