Is this world war 3? And if so will Britain be on the Israeli side? I hope Keir Starmer knows we ain't doing no Spirit of the Blitz shit on behalf of a genocidal state.

People who say 'sumbarine' instead of 'submarine' are adorable and anyone who corrects them has no joy in their heart.

There's so much going on in the world that I go through long periods forgetting that RFK Jr is in control of American healthcare.

I wish people would stop using the term "middle class" when they actually mean "posh" or "rich". If your joke is about people who went to private school (and I have a bunch of em), it's not about middle class people.

The delineation of 'skilled' and 'unskilled' work has been used for decades to justify poorer wages and working conditions for those whose labour is not deemed as valuable. Women's work was (and still is) often deemed unskilled, in fact protesting that categorisation led to the Equal Pay Act.

Care work is skilled work. Care work is skilled work. Care work is skilled work.

2025: Keir Starmer suggests that pressure on housing and public services is because of migrants

2020: Keir Starmer, "Poor housing, poor public services are not the fault of the migrants, they're political failure"

Fun fact, Pope Leo's chosen name is a nod to his love of the movie Titanic.

JD Vance met with the pope, then the pope died, then we got the first American pope (Robert Francis Prevost, aka Leo XIV).

Just saying... seems sus.

The new Pope:

Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, is the first American in history.
He will take the name Leo XIV.

And Donald Trump is going to take credit for all of this in 5, 4, 3…

The police officers who beat Tyre Nichols to death were just acquitted on all charges in their state trial in less than 5 hours of deliberation by an all white jury. Reminder that fewer than 3% of police killings lead to convictions. Then ppl pretend these systems weren’t built to fail on purpose.

How many popes do you think we are away from having a live stream of the Conclave??

PSA: Stop listening to people who are experts in nothing but marketing about LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE. I am begging you. These people are good at packaging complex ideas into digestible content. That doesn't make them experts.

On hypergamy...

Old video, hot topic. The mainstreaming of the idea that women are hypergamous (we date up) has been in full effect for a few years now. It is also central to much of the manosphere'a ideology.

Yes

Came onto Bluesky to say I'm enjoying seeing Canada be like "alright, bet!" to the USA and saw this...

Fun Fact: Democrats are wearing pink tonight as a symbolic protest against people who want them to do something meaningful

Learned the phrase "the right looks for converts and the left looks for traitors" last week and I can't stop thinking about it.

"Don't let them get to you!"
Wait, I can do that? I thought that despite years of therapy and work on myself it was still incredibly difficult not to take it personally when hundreds of people on the internet insult your appearance and intelligence. My bad, I'll stop letting that happen.

What's the opposite of an EGOT?

It's great to see European states come together in solidarity with Ukraine. I wish we could do the same (or even half as much) for Palestine.

I would like winter to stop it now. Thanks

Watching Elon Musk air out a decade long beef with Sam Altman via multi-billion dollar bids for various tech companies and thinking about how absolutely incredible it is that the world managed to convince us women shouldn't be in charge because we're too emotional.

I'm no Super Bowl or NFL expert (obvs) but this running out the clock shit is just annoying. Just say they've won and be done with it.
