Happy Hallo- wait, what do you mean this isn't a Halloween episode? It comes out three days before! Reggie's ill again? And they've had to get creative so are sharing a preview of the long-threatened #Patreon content? Well, fine, let's do that then! open.spotify.com/show/1ZF6RvL...
Brazil proves you can beat fascism without cowardly appeasing their every wish. Keir Starmer/Andy Burnham look weak, cowardly, ineffective. You beat fascists by squaring up to them and smashing them in the face, not meekly cowering behind appeasement. Andy Burnham is a snivelling coward.
My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.
All this clock-changing shithousery needs to fuck off. I am all out of sorts for no good reason. #BST #ClocksGoBack
A couple of big Starmer chicken came home to roost this week. First, a huge increase in domestic abuse despite his pledge to halve it in a decade. Now we find his much promoted and trumpeted control measures for social media haven’t changed a thing since their introduction.
Scuzzy Mortspider 🕷️ 🎃@jussienorthside.bsky.social · last wk.In July 2024, Starmer pledged to “halve” VAWG in a decade. Jess Phillips said he was “obsessed” with ending it. Today, two years later, the number of people experiencing domestic abuse is up 7.8% on last year.
Andy Burn'em and co don't care. In fact these are the people they're courting for votes.
Ireland against Fascism@irlagainstfascism.bsky.social · last wk.Bigots descended on Herne Bay, Kent, England today with chants of 'Save our nation - remigration' 'End the invasion -remigration'. Most shockingly they chanted 'England for the white man'. These are white supremacists not 'concerned citizens'. Britain you've a serious problem, sort it out NOW!
It was a government data-gathering project, so OF COURSE it failed to protect kids. That was never the point!
videah θΔ@videah.net · last wk.Ofcom published a report today that pretty much declares the Online Safety Act a complete failure
Today's decision by Labour to approve new drilling in the North Sea is climate vandalism. It's a betrayal of all of our futures, and Labour has abandoned all credibility in the fight against climate change. This is a victory for Shell over the people. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...
UK government approves Jackdaw gas field, and says production will start this month - follow live

This week Reggie had us sit through the unnerving indie horror flick Creep, for week two of #SpookyMonth! Also: - Routine Reggie and Rooney the Disruptor - Reggie doesn't get GIF reacts - We are terrible people - We have beef with Mr. Vanilla open.spotify.com/show/1ZF6RvL...
"3 year old Mariam Ahmed Ghanem is now being treated in hospital after suffering second degree burns. Both her mother & father have been killed in the war. There have been near daily attacks.." Meanwhile the UK media pretends a motion declaring zionism is racism is the problem
Putting up your #Halloween decorations is both easy and difficult when most of your decor is already pretty on-point for the season.
We do another massively #NSFW episode where we then talk about a #StudioGhibli film, because we are unable to stay work-safe when talking about thew most family-friendly of films. This week we watched the pseudo-sequel The Cat Returns. #Podcast #TUTJIG open.spotify.com/show/1ZF6RvL...
Oh joy, it looks like I may have actually lost my wallet yesterday morning, and not realised until now.

Keir Starmer wanted to be remembered as Prime Minister for building homes. Instead he will be remembered for his complicity in destroying them. #GazaGenocide
Spain would welcome us back. Pedro Sánchez described the UK’s departure from the EU as a loss for both British people and the wider European project. If the UK sought to return, he said Spain would applaud the decision and welcome us with open arms.
Here's the short answer. Social Care would be affordable if it was Nationalised. So would Energy. And Water. And Housing. And so on. The problem, no profit for billionaires. But that would be THEIR problem.
I have a meeting tomorrow to discuss "unprofessional language" in customer communications (I effectively told a customer they were being unreasonable in firm words), so am on best behaviour with customer comms right now. And of course the universe took that as a challenge and is really testing me
Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.
This sounds like something @tutjig.bsky.social would say, moments before the studio gets struck by lightning.
