The 75% shareholder vote to give Elon Musk the $1Tn pay package is absolute proof that it’s now just a meme stock. Amidst all the horror when the AI bubble bursts it will at least be fun to see him become the first person to lose $1Tn

I seem to be able to overlook cunt behaviour of various types in actors I enjoy but never in musicians I've loved.

Maybe I think the music is more personal and feels like a direct connection to the artist and their self whereas I probably see the acting as 'just' a performance.

Stand-off over £800,000 Your Party funds held by Zarah Sultana Your Party officials accuse Zarah Sultana of withholding funds despite publicly agreeing to transfer the money.

Again, whatever the truth is, it’s a shit snow and the lack of transparency is there or all to see, she should have left when she accused them of being a sexist boys club - no one credible believes anything any of them say anymore

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Elon Musk, "These lovely small towns in England, Scotland and Ireland, they've been living their lives quietly. They're like hobbits"

"And so one day, 1,000 people show up in your village of 500 and start raping the kids"

"This has now happened, God knows how many times in Britain"

I think about this all the time

I think it's appalling that Britain's most enduringly popular family don't pay income tax or VAT, but it's hard to deny how much joy they bring to the general public. That chandelier gag alone...

betamax is back - as a laser disc

Digital art of original characters Aran and Tao as young adults in their early twenties at a laundromat late at night. The pic has a slight fisheye view and we look straight ahead into the laundry room, where Aran kneels at the ground in front of a washing dryer in putting in some clothes and Tao is slightly behind him, half sitting half leaning at one of the tables and looking down at Aran and smiling. It looks like they could be in conversation and Tao is aging something funny and light hearted. The colors are more fee ish and blue and muted, with some bright fluorescent light on top and some green glow to emphasize the feeling of late night in a dingy little laundromat with neon lights. 🏀🦀

Laundry Night

Do you know someone that is an ICE agent? Tell everyone! Kick their wife out of the book club! Tell your kids to stay away from their children! They alone are not invited to the party! Shun all those fuckers, make them know Dad's profession is unacceptable. He will quit or lose his family in the end

Spotify stock graph showing a decrease of $28 in one day (Friday 10/24), the day after Spotify’s boycott became a trending topic on Bluesky. This is a roughly 5% decrease in value.

Y’all, Spotify’s stock price sunk by 5% in 1 day. YOU did this by spreading the word to boycott them for running ICE ads.

These billionaires only speak one language—money—so let’s keep up the pressure. Tell everyone you know to cancel their Spotify subscriptions. Send them to BoycottSpotify.com.

I literally can’t believe streaming services take our money and then still put three 3 minute ad breaks in a 20+ year old, hour and a half long movie.

This is fucking ridiculous.

My New Year’s resolution for 2025 is to stop procrastinating so much

It's apparently perfectly fine for senior political journalists to call for the deportation of British Muslim politicians now, with zero consequences

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe" Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

Councils taken all the flags down in the village, happy days. Best the Nextdoor page is rocking...

Read This When Things Fall Apart by Kelly Hayes | Pilsen Community Books A bundle of letters to activists and organizers on the frontlines in catastrophic times from Let This Radicalize You co-author Kelly Hayes In social movements, some heartbreaks are all but inevitable.

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

a friend of mine in antifa told me that antifa's headquarters is SHEIN and if the company fell the whole network would fall

A power strip with the plug end plugged in to one of the sockets

If anyone’s struggled to keep up with my threads on why the genAI bubble
Is a bubble, here’s a simplified pictorial explanation, the plug is OpenAI and the sockets are Microsoft, Meta, Oracle, Nvidia, and AMD

After having watched the whole speech there was something she said that stood out to me: "We are not heroes. The Palestinians do not need saving. We are simply listening to their call for action" (paraphrasing)

She really said "don't you dare turn this into white saviourism" and she's right.

Got market research coming up, focussed on former Labour voters who won't vote Labour again, very much looking forward to it...

Say what you will about Labour but it’s the laser focus on the big issues that really earns my respect

Richard Dannatt Lord Dannatt urged ministers to crack down on Palestine Action at request of US firm Police officer was concerned ex-army chief, a Teledyne adviser, sought to have 'input' into factory attack investigation

Never forget why this is happening

Why don't we try voting one more time eh? 🤞

I'm sure we can vote our way out of this...

sianushka.bsky.social@sianushka....13m This is a very moving opening of Starmer's conference speech - he is angry on behalf of working class people and injustice committed against working class people by the state. A demand that we oppose racism and reject division. 2 • 22 sianushka.bsky.social Follow @sianushka.bsky.social "When was the last time you heard Farage say anything positive about Britain ... he doesn't like Britain."

I find it outrageous how easily pleased journalists are, just shows how out of touch the profession is

The biggest thumb in the UK at his fan club AGM talking about health stuff

Young Wes here, Britain's primary sentient thumb, giving it large at his fan club's AGM.

Mixed emotions for the big digit today—he knows the Forensic Age of Sir Keir is basically done, but also that his own seat is lost & he's part of a one-term govt.

The crown he covets is made of broken glass.

This means that it is now Labour’s official position that Israel is committing genocide.

While at the same time, the Labour government continues to arm that genocide

Absolutely extraordinary!
