Vote scolding is an incredible way to get the people your favourite political party is currently hurting to never vote for them again.

(And if they say they are being hurt by your favourite political party, you should believe them.)

Soup of the day: Chicken burrito

There should be 2 pay days in January. 1 in the middle of the month and one at the end, both paying a full months wages.

[And whatever the equivalent would be for folks on weekly/fortnightly/other pay schedules].

Brianna met her killer at school. The killers used Tor to watch snuff videos on the dark web. The BBC and Sky initially omitted that was transgender from their coverage. The Tory party wanted her to be buried under her deadname.

I have no idea how social media plays at all here

All the private companies involved in this are heavily invested in Al.

They're desperate to find a way to make it viable despite the widely held view that it's a devastating bubble, and this move is part of that.

Meanwhile gov are cutting school PE funding.

Good news: the UK Government is now offering free short courses on how to use the rabid monkey that comes taped to every computer now for some reason! You'll learn how to...

- dodge the monkey's angry fists!
- understand its tortured screams!
- write invoices in bits of poo he's left on your desk!

there is a post from the US gov 'department of war' on here that includes video of them actually murdering people and threatening to murder more people & it's been up since november

Seeing politicians who openly support, excuse or have said nothing about the genocide in Palestine promoting Holocaust Memorial Day today makes me sick.

Remembrance is futile if it doesn't effect the here and now.

Video game: "There's no time! You need to save the world NOW!"

Gamers: "What do you mean you didn't stop to explore the world and do side quests? You played the game wrong."

"My son?"

This feels quite bad

Bluesky idea: if people who didn't agree with you change their opinions so that they do agree with you, why not be happy that you are making progress - rather than complaining that they are "only just catching up"? 10:08 • 26 Jan 2026 • Everybody can reply 11 reposts 9 quotes 151 likes 19 20 • 151 ...

Henry is absolutely right here about regular people but wrong about shithead columnists. The whole point of the latter is that they are the Opinion Cops: their job is to police the outer boundary of acceptable discourse, usually via dumb insults and vexatious horseshit. They don’t care what is real.

I guess a Reform win would serve as evidence that they're right to keep chasing Reform voters.

A Green win means Labour's entire project over the last several years is dead in the water.

This should have been an AI image of Starmer gurning over a huge haggis in the style of that Tod guy from Instagram.

Not entirely sure why the home office thought it would be helpful to design an AI school girl that was always going to appeal to right wing internet paedophiles, but here we are.

The odd thing here is that it's actually an inversion of Linehan's trajectory. He was a very highly regarded comedy writer who torpedoed it all in the fevered pursuit of increasingly bizarre and ghoulish right wing ideals

There are some genuine true blue labour voters in the replies here.

Leading in the polls is kind of a misleading statement in January 2026. It may be technically true but a more complete picture emerges from trends across all polls

A user posts: transitioning has a lower regret rate than knee surgery, about 1%" Another poster comments: 1% when the trans community makes.up.2 percent of the population... so that is half of them. 1% of 2% is a lot more people than you want people to realise...

It is not an immigration crisis.

"I am a children's entertainer who specializes in face painting," writes a woman now in hiding from the federal government for witnessing a state-sanctioned street execution

Really wild that, when there’s video, sworn testament by witnesses, expert independent analysis and a long history of routine dishonesty on the part of the DHS, people will still defend both-sides-ism in the news.

It is almost as though the BBC is not an independent public service broadcaster, but a state broadcaster like any other, which operates in service of the political imperatives of the British government, while using its public service broadcaster designation to obfuscate this fact to its viewers.

There's something absolutely remarkable about how the Labour right will look at the USA'sv militarised police system tearing into its own population and still think "we really need to associate ourselves with this, it's so cool."

Excuse me? You mean to tell me a Kamala PAC that is sitting on $1.3 million is raising money on the extrajudicial murder of a nurse? www.opensecrets.org/political-ac...
