I don’t want to jump to conclusions here but it sure does look like the government maliciously designated citizens as terrorists and then vexatiously detained hundreds of protestors on spurious political grounds, deliberately, as PR for continuing to facilitate the most serious war crimes. Seems bad

No one went to Stephen Hawking’s time traveller’s party because they didn’t want to end up in the Epstein files.

Any time I look to see what the Labour government is up to in the UK it turns out to be things like making posters that Alfonso CuarΓ³n put in the background of the long tracking shot that opens β€œChildren of Men”.

It is getting very boring being told that "the youth love reform on tiktok" with absolutely no evidence whatsoever.

Cory Doctorow: "America is not great. It has been gutted by the Epstein class, who robbed us blind, raped our kids, and are now selling us shitcoins and chatbots and the spectacle of protesters being shot in the streets."

People currently spluttering that you can't criticise Starmer for things Peter Mandelson did are the same people who spent several years treating antisemitic tweets from anonymous 50-follower accounts like they were press releases direct from Labour head office.

It’s so cruel - and what next? People are housed in hotels (& barracks) often out of town, bus routes are scarce & the weekly allowance is pitiful. Charities can step in, but are people now just going to get sick? What is the plan here?

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβ€”because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Sure, but the need for big L shapes or whatever descends from the way the terrain rules work. They could stop hanging on to true line of sight and half the issues would vanish.

I'm old enough to remember when the mere suggestion Mandelson was doing anything remotely like this was unforgivably disgusting antisemitism.

i am trying not to joke about the Epstein stuff because it's so horrible but there's also this ridiculous element where it's like... discovering Dracula is real, he's taken over human society at the highest levels, he's involved in tons of evil and also he's a huge dipshit
