Spyro the Antifascist Dragon

Neoliberal rules:

1. There is no magic money tree, unless it's for war, internal repression or corporate kickbacks.

2. The rules do not exist to uphold public standards, merely to be enforced arbitrarily against enemies/ex-allies.

3. The public are swine who should be grateful for rotten meat.

Antisemitism has been a near constant thread in right-wing politics in overt or latent forms, but many willingly excused it owing to the right’s staunch Zionism (rooted in geopolitical and Christian theological concerns). Recent events show why conflating Zionism and Judaism endangers Jewish people.

I'm not the kind of leftist who thinks Russia was "provoked" into invading Ukraine, but building our foreign policy on the US being a benevolent and dependable partner?

That isn't sound anymore.

You’d never catch one of these coddled kids nowadays “working in the lab late one night.” And the only thing their eyes are beholding is their damn phone

Anyone who wants to argue needs to post an example of media in which a right winger makes a good-faith effort to listen to and understand the rest of us.

a post showing a bowl of candy with a single potato in the center with the text: Tonight kids chose potato more than 25 times, each time triumphantly proclaiming to friends and family, "I GOT A POTATO!" One kid shouted, "A potato, just like last year!" and another group said, "Oh, youre the potato house? You're legends!" This has become an unexpected and joyful tradition. Kids are given the free choice and over and over again they choose Potato. My friends, every day you are given a choice. I encourage you: choose potato

thinking about potato house this halloween

About a year ago I alleviated my anxiety by saying "well at least AI is all software and chips, it's not like they're doing speculation in real estate."

I'm glad they cured me of my common sense.

wild concept but if you want to understand Gen Z’s politics you could try asking someone who talks to Gen Z every day and is within, you know, a few years of being Gen Z, rather than Jake Tapper

"X shouldn't be political." OK but it is. Now what?

Yes. All the empirics on misinformation indicate that the way to defeat bad ideas is to mock and marginalize them. Constantly declaring "hey the far right isn't so bad" is a terrible strategy both morally and electorally.

Dems should be way more comfortable saying "look at these fucking psychos"

Another day having to repost this as liberals bargain away the humanity of transgender people in service of some erroneous notion of electoral credibility

If Labour think the hacks wouldn’t deliberately smash Britain into Prime Minister Nigel Farage out of basic decency, I’d remind them that the same journos enthusiastically helped these Labour MPs fly their own party and the UK into the twin towers of Johnson and Brexit, out of pure spite at the left

Call them cunts and tell them they get nothing. Spit in their stupid faces. Put extra Asians in the Christmas adverts and explicitly say you're doing it to fuck them off. Tell them *no* for once Jesus actual Christ lads. Not "this is unworkable" or "this is expensive". Just no.

It's weird that people are surprised that the political party lead by a guy famous for not paying contractors has for the second time refused to pay government workers.

Councils in England face clampdown on four-day working weeks Steve Reed writes to South Cambridgeshire council raising concerns over performance and value for money

Labour hate working people, particularly those in the public sector. Every year productivity goes up, wages are cut because they don't rise with inflation and they demand you put in more work.

Basically each of the dates was a guy going me, me, me. But the 11 iced lattes and identifies w/Trump too much guy really needs a therapist and probably medication.

Harriet "ordered my party to abstain on benefit cuts" Harmen has some things to say, does she?

Your Party to launch legal action against three of its ‘rogue’ founders, sources say Exclusive: Leftwing party seeks to recover donations and data from company run by Andrew Feinstein, Jamie Driscoll and Beth Winter

Lol. Lmao.

There comes a point where we have to decide whether we should welcome and respect vicious bad faith reactionaries bent on inflaming spite and resentment for their own personal advancement, or whether we prefer a working society. (That point was IMO circa 2011 but now will just have to do instead).

Sunder Katwala (sunders... @sundersays.bsky.social Follow Elon Musk: "It is time for the English to ally with the hard men, like Tommy Robinson, and fight for their survival or they shall surely all die" 29th October 2025. 2 million views in its first hour. Elon Musk Y @elonmusk Subscribe When Tolkien wrote about the hobbits, he was referring to the gentlefolk of the English shires, who don't realize the horrors that take place far away. They were able to live their lives in peace and tranquility, but only because they were protected by the hard men of Gondor. What happened to the nice man who was brutally murdered while walking his dog will happen to all of England if the tide of illegal immigration is not turned. It is time for the English to ally with the hard men, like Tommy Robinson, and fight for their survival or they shall surely all die.

The reason this Nazi crank keeps arsing on about Britain specifically is that he has noticed that here, he is pushing at an open door. We should think about why that might be so.

has anybody seen Jake Tapper. perhaps he was kidnapped by aliens

Old cartoon panel with a young man standing amongst a bunch of crates and saying oh! I chased the pussy and now I'm lost!

Every time someone says they got "catfished"

They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.

the nyt posts this stuff like avoiding AI for 48 hours is hard and meanwhile i have literally never once intentionally used an AI program for anything ever
