Kiwi Tokoeka

I cannot really articulate my hatred for Starmer. I had come to expect that Tory PMs would be shit, and hoped for an end to all that. Then, when I discovered that the man for whom I’d held my nose and voted was even worse, it made me feel
both stupid and incandescently angry.

It all feels hopeless.

Good lord

T2 kid telling the killbot he doesn't know the target. Like a true hero

Remember, kids: you too can save humanity's future.

Conversation that I really hope happened:

PARENT: Yes, Principal, we have told him never to resort to physical violence. Of course we’re disappointed. He’ll be grounded for a month.

*five minutes later, in the car*

PARENT: Ice cream before or after we go get you that new PS5?

I gave in to my urges and painted Saint Nigel 😔 Forgive me.

California's wealth tax doesn't fix the real problem: Cash-poor billionaires who borrow money, tax-free, to live on | Fortune Billionaires live under "buy, borrow, die," and California's wealth tax wouldn't touch that. An estimated $1 trillion of wealth has already fled.

Another absolute necessity: outlaw the billionaire strategy of dodging taxes by living off of tax-free loans against their stocks/real estate holdings. No more "buy-borrow-die."

They're not going to make up lost votes from leftists by appealing to the center and "moderate right". If that's not clear now after 30+ years of that tactic, they're a lost cause. It's not 1992 anymore.

oh captain our captain

Yes, if you continue to be friends with someone who deliberately & repeatedly commits heinous crimes then you are a bad person. If you continue to be friends, knowing that they are secretly committing crimes then you are definitely complicit. Also, someone needs to check that guy’s hard-drive, stat.

Put this woman in the Senate.

Counterpoint:

-No it isn't.
-And yes you are.

A reminder that one thing that allowed Darwin to focus on science was a large team of servants that catered to his every need.

Right. Heads-up that the government's trying to push more transphobic guidance into schools (because of course they fucking are), and per the BBC '[a] new consultation on Thursday's updated guidance is due to run for 10 weeks.'

So we find it, we fill it in, we tell them how wrong they are. Again.

Y’all got any moves besides blackmail perhaps

Ireland announces scheme to provide basic income for artists The Basic Income for Artists (BIA) project is believed to be the first permanent one of its kind in the world.

Ireland: a proper country.

Babe, wake up, new sarcastic but entirely worthwhile internet abbreviation just dropped

This is the funniest shit I've seen in years.

One other bit context here:

“The average McDonald's restaurant generates nearly $2.7 million in annual sales.” (Per Business Insider, circa 2019)

I stand by my opinion that everyone claiming to not understand why anyone is against genAI in TYoOL 2026, or that anyone against it is just a hysteric incapable of reason, is a fucking faker.

Screenshot of a Wall Street Journal article titled "The Big Money in Today’s Economy Is Going to Capital, Not Labor." Two charts show trends since 1980: corporate profits rising as a share of gross domestic income, while labor compensation steadily declines.

The Wall Street Journal just illustrated the core argument of my book: a system rigged to reward capital over labor is one in which even full-time work no longer secures the most basic material needs.

This is the economic order that produces the "working homeless."

They are not and should not be allowed to do this and everyone responsible should be tried and face consequences, including and up to every mealy-mouthed congressperson who doesn't dare to say wrong is wrong.

Zia Yusuf tweet: 'Bangor University have banned Reform and called us racist, transphobic and homophobic". Bangor receives E30 million in state funding a year, much of which comes from Reform-voting taxpayers. I am sure they won’t mind losing every penny of that state funding under a Reform government. After all, they wouldn’t want a racist’s money would they?'

Reform's Sarah Pochin (the one who complained about brown people being in adverts) wrote to Bangor university's student debating society asking to be hosted. They said 'no thanks, you're a bit of a racist, we don't like those' & now Reform are threatening to shut down the entire university!
