I regret to inform you that the bloody yanks are moaning again

Agog at Starmer's talent to piss off everyone all at once. It's amazing.

sorry your holiday in the legal slavery zone run by the mad kings was ruined. maybe consider cleethorpes next year?

Nigel Farage lied multiple times at his press conference today - including saying no-one who voted Green in Gorton and Denton has a job and he's "certain" Reform won most British born voters in the by-election, based on zero evidence, and yet not a single journalist there pushed back on them

All relief flights from Dubai should be met at arrivals with signs saying "HM Revenue & Customs welcomes you back to the UK"

"I'm not sure that anyone who voted Green (in Gorton and Denton) works" says Nigel Farage.

So not just smearing the winners of the by-election his party just lost, but all of their voters too.

Like limey you mean? Sure, I can think of a few.

‘People think you’re old if you need a hearing aid’: Pete Tong on ageing, all-nighters and hearing loss He helped bring dance music to the mainstream, was a staple of the 90s Ibiza scene and at 65 still DJs on Radio 1. But all those hours in the club have come at a cost. Here, he talks survival, selling...

Forgive me for not crying over a 65 year old DJ finally needing hearing aids and getting a sponsorship deal advertising private hearing aids (which can cost up to 2k) when some of us with severe hearing loss are stuck with the nhs version

A 10+ year creative journey is about to come to an end. Only 30 days remaining until the launch of Episode Five, "The Light at the End of All Things".

To all our fans, thank you for being part of this story, and thanks -- most of all -- for your patience in enabling us to tell it our way. ❤️

Reminder this is the airbase the RAF fly recon aircraft from to help Israel find targets for their genocide.

Starmer gave a speech there in 2024 thanking them for doing so.

I'd be more inclined to believe that Graham Platner is merely a dumbass if he was making different kinds of "mistakes" instead of one very specific type of "mistake" over and over

The death toll from the Israel-US bombing of the girls’ school in Minab has now risen to 165.

One of the weird things in terms of historical branding: to me Rowntree's is associated with non-cocoa products like the Fruit Pastilles & Jelly Tots

My brain knows they were behind Kit Kat and Yorkie but blanks it

Mackintosh is cocoa to me, despite them being Toffee kings, cos of Quality Street

Abolish the Home Office

NEW: The Lib Dems are demanding MPs get a vote on allowing the US to use UK air bases.

Leader Ed Davey says:

“No matter how the Prime Minister tries to redefine offensive as defensive, this is a slippery slope. He must not let Trump drag Britain into another prolonged war in the Middle East.”

For years we said they’re going for a genocide of trans people and for years we were told to “stop being so dramatic.”

Now we’re at the point of human experimentation with the explicit goal of eradicating us.

Can we call the genocide a fucking genocide now?

The chairman of the Board of Peace bombed the Gandhi hospital. Process that.

As Gandhi supposedly said when asked about western civilisation, international law too would be a good idea.

As such, the use of a phrase like “against international law” as a self-serving or partisan rhetorical device means international law can never get traction as a system of universal standards.

Just a few weeks ago, all these European powers spoke of the threat that the US now presents to Europe. They talked about the possibility of Trump attacking Greenland, like it was an imminent and existential danger. Now Trump unilaterally bombs Iran and they all fall in lockstep

It would appear that European governments will only say the United States is acting against international law when…

…the threat is against a European territory such as Greenland.

“We cannot say that the United States’ actions are against international law, but we condemn Iran’s retaliatory actions as against international law,” is neither a coherent nor a compelling position.

Shabana Mahmood to limit refugees to 30 months in UK Shorter asylum period can be renewed under hardline policy aimed at stopping rise of Reform UK

Utterly cruel, pointless and harmful. It does not minimise how bad Conservatives were to say Labour are now the most anti-asylum government in most people's living memory. This prevents people feeling any sense of safety and security after fleeing persecution.

Its genuinely mad that we are, arguably, the most successful multicultural state on earth and instead of celebrating that we...

...keep trying to copy nations who have very evidently done worse at it than us

JFC, this guy will be worse than Sinema, Fetterman and Manchin *combined*. This wasn’t years ago, this isn’t the past, he did this weeks ago. He did this with the knowledge of the blowback he’s already gotten. This guy is not ready for Public Access Cable, much less primetime.

DHS's Office of Industry Partnership was hacked by a group called "Department of Peace" and info about ICE contracts with over 6,000 companies is now published on @ddosecrets.org!

Duolingo continues to exemplify many of the ways that poorly-implemented AI can make for a significantly worse user experience. Incorrect readings (of Japanese), bizarre pronunciations, answer "explanations" that don't explain anything, what seems like almost no quality control at higher levels…

This whole saga is bewildering. He's still leading in the polls and getting enthusiastic support from people like the Pod Save Americas despite more and more Nazi-adjacent dirt coming out

As out turns out, the “civilization“ spread by the western powers was always repression, plunder, & mass death disguised under the language of universal rights.

Discworld QOTD, from Night Watch

“Oh dear, here we go again, thought Vimes. Why did I wait until I was married to become strangely attractive to powerful women? Why didn’t it happen to me when I was sixteen? I could have done with it then.”
