Nicolas Chinardet@zefrog.eu · 3d agoAnd why is #r4today giving (yet again) such prominence to a hair-brained scheme that has little chance to ever be implemented? A GE is unlikely soon and the threat of Reform winning it is apparently receding. What is the justification for legitimising it?

A few days ago someone in a chat I’m in shared this screenshot and I genuinely, unironically dismissed it as a poorly made “modern AAA version of” meme because it didn’t even cross my mind this could be real
Joe Wintergreen@joewintergreen.com · last wk.Maaaan the Halo remake is exhaustingly Modern in its bullshit... Cortana has all kinds of extra tutorial dialogue.

Tits McGee@scientits.bsky.social · 2w agoSelf-employed people! Sorry to put a downer on your Sunday, but in case you'd not seen, the Government wants us to pay our tax *monthly* like we're employees or something With the World Cup and all the politics, I'd missed the consultation they put out last month, which is here: 1/
