Even though it feels like it's been coming for a while, seeing a trailer for a HALO game on PlayStation is fucking WILD.

The whiplash from blaming the extreme militant antifa assassin/gun-banning, trans, immigrant left to feeling sorry for a lost white boy (grown ass man) is extraordinary…

Please get over this fever soon, America. You need to heal something real bad.

She called for innocent people to be burned alive.
Reform welcomed her with a rapturous ovation.

Revolting.

If you can’t see how attacking this could have hugely dangerous implications for every single person living in the UK irrespective of citizenship or immigration status, I do not know what to tell you.

A nation which makes a martyr out of Lucy Connolly has lost its moral bearings BURN them in their hotels, she said. And try to burn them in their hotels they did.

In a sane, normal country, Lucy Connolly would be treated as a contemptible extremist. Not in Britain. But then this is no longer a sane, normal country. Britain has lost its moral bearings

Someone who I assumed was in their early 30s noted in a post elsewhere that they were a full decade beyond that age, which reinforced the idea to me that I can no longer accurately assess anyone's age anymore, adult humans exist only in two categories: "My age and older," and "indeterminate young."

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

Is there any explanation for how we went from half of parliament and the whole national press up in arms - roaring that even a suspicion of racism is utterly unacceptable and those accused must be destroyed - to shrugs and awkward coughs as the main parties fight to do Enoch Powell speeches loudest.

I haven't read it yet, so maybe there's more to it than this review says... but it sure doesn't *sound* like a particularly "bold reinvention" if it's taking a concept from Discovery, bringing a popular TOS character back to life, and making the Klingons the villains *again.*

I know it’s neither constructive nor empathetic of me, but reading this I’m just compiling a list of people I know who deserve - but will alas never receive - a punch in the nose.

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort.

It aired in 1990.

Nuanced polling shows the complexity of opinion, compared to opinion-directing polling and reporting that seeks to oversimplify immigration debates to suit the aims of Farage etc. @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk

This weekend thousands of people in the UK stood up against racists and far-right thugs only to have representatives of a nominally leftwing government support, enable and empower the racists. Why do you not hear the worries of those trying to protect minority rights and liberal democracy?

I feel like the reason why far right propaganda is so effective and pervasive is because instead of offering solutions they offer excuses.

It always boils down to "All of your problems are because of someone else" which is like oldest and most basic grift around.

We wanted change - and this is what we got. Labour will leave Government, after only one term, having achieved nothing beyond delivering the country to Reform

#FantasticFour was great. Loved the retrofuture Fifties vibe, Galactus was suitably imposing, and have always had a soft spot for Silver Surfer.

Good humour, solid plot and LIKING this new, positive vibe for Superhero movies, this and Supes both.

Could we be coming out of the Superhero Slump?
