Our director cast him to play Doctor Nickel in our zombie film, Flick (2008,) because he loved his character in American Werewolf so much. He was so chuffed that he agreed to do it.

HAHAHA I was added to a list for "AI Racists" and buddy, my buddy, you can not be racist to a non-living machine. Not how the word works. Stop fucking worshipping a theft engine dictionary predictive text brick layer, ya wierdos (derogatory).

Let's tax the super rich - make hope normal! Anyone who doesn't think it's possible, cast your mind back - we USED to tax the super rich - we owned ALL our infrastructure, free uni for all, & you didn't need to be destitute to get a nice council house.

Stop calling them β€˜mountaineers’ just because they’re on Everest, have you seen what they’re wearing? The β€˜equipment’ they’ve got? They’re tourists, equipped for a day in the Lake District. China and Nepal need to start making it prohibitively expensive to set foot on the mountain. $1m for a permit.

BBC Laura Kuenssberg Show Accused of Anti-Green Bias After Cancelling Zack Polanski Interview The new Green Party leader was the only major party leader not to have been granted a conference interview on the flagship BBC show

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

Peacehaven: Fire at East Sussex mosque probed as 'hate crime' Video appears to show two people in balaclavas at the mosque before a large blaze spreads.

Two people in balaclavas torched a mosque in Peacehaven, East Sussex. This is not far from where I live.

Fascists are in an open war with Muslims and people of colour in the UK.

When I was like 10 I knew a lad who told me he wanted to be a cop cos he wanted to beat people up without getting in trouble and he had a keener understanding of what the police are than 99% of journalists and politicians.

It's not a problem with the police force.

It's a problem with the type of man who WANTS to be on a police force.

GUY WHO JUST CAME BACK FROM DOING THE JABBA'S PALACE COMEDY FESTIVAL:

Seeing politicians and media using the horrible anti-semitic attacks in Manchester as a chess piece against Palestinians is just… well, unsurprising actually.

And the result of this is that the stock market will become a measure not of financial value, potential or actual, but of loyalty to the POTUS.

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use β€œreasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

I legit don't understand bsky's strategy here. Like, what is it that they're trying to achieve here? Do they think this makes them look clever?

Is this why they don't have monetization yet? So they can draw ire with zero noticeable financial consequences?

Just baffling behaviour

I bet Hegseth upgraded his title from Secretary of Defence to Secretary of War because he was getting β€œDefence is for pussies” jibes from the other nazi frat boys but they’re still sniggering at him being a β€˜secretary’, tricking him into bending over then slapping his arse like they’re in Mad Men.

All the 'is it AI?' checkers I ran it through gave such varying responses ranging from only 4.5% chance right up to 100% chance that I don't think there are any 'gotcha' elements. I think the background buildings are a photo that's been run through a 'watercolour' filter in photoshop.
