Labour trying to position themselves against the Greens really hammers home how they are nothing but Tories now

you can imagine this being the exact kind of shit Suella Braverman would be coming out with at election time

it's finally our year

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

THE FILTON TRIAL - THE VERDICTS - NO CONVICTIONS - Real Media - The View From Below Following our detailed coverage of this long trial, we bring you the verdicts as they have just been announced in court.

Incredible news. This is why craven corrupt, irreparably dirty Labour wants to kill jury trials: realmedia.press/filton-verdi...

A pair of St. Brigid's crosses on a countertop, next to a mug. #SpéirGorm #SpéirGhorm #Ireland

For the uninitiated, these are Irish Throwing Stars, an ancient weapon wielded by St. Brigid during the 1916 Rising, striking fear into the hearts of the British, and responsible for the eventual smiting of both Cromwell and Thatcher.

Sharron Davies ranting against 15 minute cities, because of course she is.

Suzanne Moore in the Telegraph saying she wants to... kill all dogs??

Julie Burchill asking "does it matter if Grok undresses us all?" in The Spectator

Graham Linehan in the midst of his now four-day-long double down on Alex Pretti's murder being justified and fine.

Calling transphobia a 'gateway drug' to the far right undersells it. It's pure accelerant. Grimly fascinating to guess what crankery becomes any famous transphobe's secondary obsession, cos they all have one: 15 minute cities are fascism! Grok noncing is cool! ICE are good! We should kill all dogs!

This is how the BBC is reporting Matt Goodwin's selection as Reform's candidate in Gorton and Denton.

He's not an academic. He holds no academic position and hasn't done for quite some time.

A screenshot from the Graham Linehan Facebook page, dated January 26, 2017. "Here's something to watch for: sub-par entertainers/hacks etc smelling that sweet right wing sucker money and making their move."

Nine years to the day since Graham Linehan foresaw his own fate.

DHS can and will never be run by a Sicko fan.

if you read enough history you understand that the very best people, following their instincts, tend to make themselves targets in times like these.

May her memory be a blessing

A whole militia who could do this, weren’t radicalised in 1, 2 or even 10 years, a nation that could vote for and produce this has been festering for decades

If Viz went feral

British army veterans call to keep immunity clause in Northern Ireland legacy law Government’s remedial order would give judges the power to revive Troubles-related civil actions

'MPs are to vote on Wednesday on a motion to reverse a Tory-era law that granted conditional immunity to those accused of wrongdoing during the Troubles.'

Political parties & victims' advocacy groups refused to support the Tory legacy act. Labour promised to repeal it - they lied, and here we are.

It did occur to me that "medieval romance featuring werewolf" might be a quite different thing from a "werewolf romance" but I am amused to reassure you that I have checked the plot summary on Wikipedia and it is indeed a proper werewolf romance.

Broadly agree, but maybe 'galvanising' rather than 'corrosive'

just a comprehensive failure to meet the moment

this is fucking incredible

"i serve the Lord, not a draft-dodging coward" is the kind of phrase that would be slightly cringe online and is incredibly badass when being stated by a man surrounded by armed men threatening to murder him

Quango for Bigotry: The shameful recent history of the so-called “Equality and Human Rights Commission” We’ve been hearing a lot about the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) recently for all the wrong reasons. Many are wondering why a quango meant to enforce the Equality Act appears to be solel...

Quango for Bigotry: The shameful recent history of the so-called “Equality and Human Rights Commission”

Excellent piece on the EHRC from the erudite @marcusjdl.bsky.social

american liberals are fine with millions of deportations as long as they happen quietly and the police don't hurt any white people. proud of it, really

Jonathan Ross, who shot Renee Good in the face, is local. Derek Chauvin, who knelt on George Floyd's neck, is local.

An email from Martin Peterson to university administrators.

To single out a Palestinian-Australian author in the context of the Bondi attack is really shocking.

Even when they're not shooting people, ICE are legitimate targets on account of being an unambiguous paramilitary carrying out ethnic cleansing

Baroness Chapman just gave a good summary of British imperial and current history

Imagine being the person brave enough to leak this in the hopes that media attention could stop it and then the media just……buries it.

Happy New Years from Berlin where everyone per usual has lost their minds
