Andrew got arrested? Good. I hope this is the beginning.

Paid a bit more attention to Beatbreak this week and my thoughts that this is the best season in nearly 20 years keeps being proven right. It's the kind of quality I always enjoy seeing. Really thoughtful and trusting.

But enough of that, a Greymon is showing up in next week's episode!

Couldn't have said it better. Except we've always been a society filled with hate. The recent past has let the genie out however.

Men like Rupert Lowe are cancerous to our highest ideals.

Forget a total social media ban for children. I'd much rather see governments grow a spine, fight the broligarchs and actually invest in healthy spaces for all of us both physically and digitally, free from predatory algorithms

That and parents doing their jobs and everyone tackling the root cause

Wasn't sure if this week's episode of Kamen Rider Zeztz was going to push the envelope, but I'm happy to be proven wrong.

I can seem undoing this all later, but I hope sticks for dramatic effect. It's definitely my favourite since the 2018 series, not because it's edgy, but that it's well written.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social is sometimes derided as a 'Centrist Dad'. Respectfully I think such people are wrong.

Listening to the most recent upload of his show and speaking as a brown LGBTQ girl, I am grateful for his support and morality during these times.

We need more like you sir.

Billionaire nonce's exacerbating Brexit and micro transactions is something that previously, would have sounded ridiculous, but is entirely unsurprising now.

I'm not a fan of Starmer, but him potentially losing his job over Epstein when plenty of politicians have never been held to the same level of scrutiny is beyond ludicrous.

That and I really don't want this to risk Reform's rotting carcass getting anywhere near a seat of power.

Reading the Jan 2026 issue of The Atlantic.

While Brooks is considered a hack by leftists, there *is* a kernel of truth in this article.

Democrats will keep losing, if they can't connect their causes to something tangible.

And its the same story here across the pond.

Should artists get a basic income like they do in Ireland? Could the government pay salaries to musicians and artists - no strings attached like they do in Ireland?

Had no idea this was a thing, but that's outstanding!

Everyone needs a basic income, without distinction.

There are many different things people here are too attached to to fully give up-lord only knows my investments in the arts and entertainment and good journalism would be impacted. But we do need to look at what we can live without.

Open AI though? Fully agreed. Get rid of this crap.

It didn't happen for Qatar, but we should just boycott the World Cup and the Olympics, if we have any dignity and respect for what's happening over the pond at all.

Met someone yesterday who had neither a mobile, nor a landline phone. It was a surreal experience to say the least. But I was also legitimately worried for them.

On the one hand, a tech bro isn't getting their data. Otoh, no landline locks you out of so much.

We could learn a lot from the protestors in Iran fighting for democracy.

These individuals are putting their lives on the line and showing an immense amount of courage and sacrifice for what is right.

If Sadiq Khan were white, there'd be more outrage over a world leader lambasting him at the UN. But because he's brown and Muslim, I guess it's fair game.

What do people have against him and London that isn't founded in racism or fear of diversity?

It's just racism. Pure and simple.

All caught up on Demon Slayer.

This show started off so good, but the back half has been really bad.

It still looks spectacular and everyone has amazing hair and eyes (lol), but it's so hard to care about anything at this point.

At least with the films, it will be over soon.

'If this flag offends you, I 'Ll help you pack your bags'.

Sir, you look so brave wearing that shirt. In no way are you insecure or cowardly for threatening to deport someone if they disagree with you!

What an awful way to show your National 'Pride'. Pathetic.

Toei has done the unthinkable and finally livestreamed a brand new season of Kamen Rider around the world.

Annnnd they've ballsed it up by deciding to loop the episode instead of letting you freely watch it whenever you want.

One step forward, two steps back huh Toei?

I'm not defending the current Labour Government at all, but where the F was all of this crucifying when the Tories were in Power? Like, Lockdown breaches aside, I don't recall anywhere near the same level of outrage for the opposition.

There's nothing remotely balanced about any of this.

Having pride in one's country involves more than just flying a flag. That alone won't improve our infrastructure, give shelter to the dispossessed, nor will it protect the women and children some claim to care so much about.

True pride requires effort and the will to change.

Really disappointed with Bluesky about recent events. I can theoretically see how someone *might* take issue with 'wishing ill' on another person, but silencing legitimate criticism about truly awful people isn't the way.

People like JKR deserve to be criticised for their hateful views.

Playing around with the Retroid Pocket Classic. The Amoled display is gorgeous, and I really like Retroid's custom set up (even if manually getting all the apps and emulators isn't THAT hard).

Battery life isn't as big at the Ayaneo DMG, but since this is significantly cheaper, it's not a problem.

On the one hand, Late Night is a dying breed, so CBS cancelling The Late Show might not be that surprising in the streaming era.

On the other hand, there's an uncomfortable feeling that this is a political hit.

I wish Colbert all the best for the future. Stay safe and continue to speak out.
