remember to always say OH BIG STRETCH

Honestly Will can only get away with this because Sir Terry Pratchett is no longer with this and I suspect Will knows this. If Terry Pratchett was alive to see this his very next novel would involve the Bloodless Quant Society as lead by Wont Pencil.

So you’re telling me dems only exist to keep the ruling class in power and prevent workers from using their collective power?!? Couldn’t be them!! They post too many snarky homophobic memes about Trump to be evil!!

Four years ago, then-President Joe Biden and both parties in Congress blocked railroad workers across the US from striking. Railroad workers tell us things have only gotten worse on the job since then.

it’s like they came up with the 72 genders talking point, and then decided to aim it at themselves? i’m sorta amazed this in some respects, and in others, it’s entirely predictable

Karl Rove's little whiteboard on Fox News, lol. Like... idk, man. I'm not sure that the strategy of expecting people to know a bunch of Hasan Piker lore AND them caring enough about it to the point that it affects who they vote for is going to work, but okay.

Rod Liddle was 8 or 9 years old during the zodiac killings, and the wrong side of the Atlantic Ocean, but I still don't think we can rule him out totally.

I only have 11 hours to live. Shrek will die tonight at midnight.

this one's funny bc i think it's rooted in a similar impulse to the data center backlash, but unlike that one (we do need SOME data centers, not for AI but for lots of stuff everyone likes) it's purely arrogance and hubris to crash stuff into the moon. we don't need to be doing that ever

This is going to be a slow burn story that gets people more and more angry the more they hear about it. Some asshole billionaires are blowing holes in the Moon, a thing everyone loves.

The answer is, of course, that very little in British politics is actually real except for expediency and convenience. It’s not a double standard because *there are no standards*, and there are no rules that apply to everyone. There’s only ever what’s entertaining the lads this week.

This is one of the better, more helpful newspaper podcasts and it’s striking they - like all of the lads - talk about Farage and Lowe without any squealing and writhing about the cancerous virus of race hate that must be ruthlessly eradicated, or about the legion of evil scum who support them.

it’s kind of crazy that YouTube, which might as well be the biggest television station in the world, is just nonstop scammy ads—and it’s gotten worse since the advent of generative AI

Progressives didn’t get the big election night they wanted

Me: (a smart columnist, looking at claims made by an ex-Tory neo-Nazi booted out of the party for crimes, now standing as a Tory councillor whole doing a rehabilitation tour parroting the agreed media line in his new “anti-extremism” gig) This is extremely convincing stuff, and very worrying.

what a normal person. keeps rewriting a posting the “that rule doesn’t apply to nazis and terrorists. el-sayed is both” too. must’ve done that five or so times now

When you get so mad you screencap your own posts and tell yourself that it’s a banger and you’re not being made fun of.

Orwellian organisation pointed entirely at the destruction of human rights and the peoples said rights are designed to protect. Nazis are at the helm.

Stunning display of motornormativity here from the BBC. No, they are not "closing down streets" - if they were doing that they would be shut off from everyone. Rather, they are changing who is using the space. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
