How did we get an entire corporate and political world full of scumbags and bastards, all we did was incentivize that behavior at every turn

I am fucking sick of hearing ‘according to the Hamas-run Health Ministry’ every time the BBC tells us how many people Israel have slaughtered at aid distribution centres

Fucks sake, no

Well, I've barely got started here but I'm logging out for a bit. Not that I post much anyway but I spend enough time faffing around here for it to be good if I didn't. So no socials for a while. I still like people though, so send me an email or something. Byeeee x

So many of their songs do something similar don't they? Just a series of great setups for big chorus that never comes.

What the government can’t afford:

❌Lifting children out of poverty

It's another bus isn't it?

What this piece lets out of the bag is, whatever is driving the far/right's hatred of trans people it is absolutely, positively not a desire to protect women from sexual violence. They are happy to celebrate a perpetrator of sexual violence, so long as he shares their hatred of trans people.

Not exaggerating when I say I would like a personal, handwritten apology from every pundit who barfed out a dozen "the left wants to change the way you talk!" op-eds based on non-mandatory guidelines in obscure PDFs.

Ha ha ha.

1. Here are just a few of the ways in which Starmer’s Labour Party seems determined to alienate its voters and lose the next election. As they pile up, you have to keep pinching yourself and asking, “what the hell is it playing at?” 🧵

It'd be fair to say you're not where the unpredictability ends today...

Goddamit! Just got there and saw this. Get well soon!
