Whatever You Do, Don’t Make Them Uncomfortable How one chant broke the illusion of free speech - and revealed how fragile Britain’s moral panic machine really is.

Bob Vylan chanted.

The right melted down.

The Mail made something up.

All seeming par for the course these days.

#Deaf folks in the US, are any of you interested in having a group chat on Signal just in case things go awry with the Trump regime? Communications is extremely important during this time. If you’re interested, ping me.

Sigh. Of course nothing will change after this. Not with USA’s current administration.

They are great! I’ve seen them posted elsewhere but it’s nice seeing them again!

The only way for USA to take Canada as its 51st state is to invade/go to war against Canada. That's all it is.

I admire Zelenskyy’s restraint in not kicking the several shades of shit put of them. The fury in his body language while two cunts attempts to bully him.

Love this. 🤣

Musk ‘saluting’ from a Tesla… the viewer ‘saluting’ back.

I'm convinced that my puppy have done a dump in the house. I can smell it. It's not a farty smell, but a poop smell. (not completely house trained yet). Yet I can't find it. And then I see your poster and...yes...I'm sure she ate her poop. It's like fudge to her dammit 🤦

This is 100% Dad Approved.

It's going to be Milan 1880 all over again...

And you’re on it too. I guess you’re right.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Following up to this - I think that high house price raise traps us. We end up thinking we need on this for wealth, but a growing wage is better for economy (wage = you can spend this on everyday stuff. You can't pay for your shopping with a projected increase in house price)

As a homeowner I would like to say "good thing" but in reality the answer is too simple. If it's rising faster than wages etc are, then it's a bad thing. I have kids and they'll like to buy a house, it's harder than ever for them. And as long as it goes up faster than wage, it's getting worse.

Trump on Greenland…

Algorithmic feeds probably is something that should be reconsidered but obviously it isn’t the only issue. Laws are too slow to keep up with the rapid pace of technology online.

Vice President-Elect Trump's fragile ego wouldn’t tolerate this for long. It’s not going to be long before he start taking it out on President-Elect Musk. Popcorn at the ready.

Follow the thread. It’s a nice short story with great art.

Been described to me that "woke" means anything that they don't like.

On that account, I'm going to say The Tories/Reform etc are all woke.

This is a war crime.

The Time Person of the Year get awarded not for being great. It can be simply because they had a significant impact. For example a complete idiot with verbal diarrhoea managed to get elected as president…(plus they award it for every president-elect anyway). Sometime it’s a bit of a troll.

She used a plate. That’s so disgustingly woke. I can’t vote for them.

This is a perfect satire 😆

Can I have a wee bit of faux outrage? A Grinch moment so to speak?

The cochlear question: as the parent of a deaf baby, should I give her an implant to help her hear? The long read: Cochlear implantation is controversial in ways that parallel medical situations – such as artificial limbs and cornea transplants – are not. Why does this issue provoke such fierce deba...
