wwe is not an arm of the trump government honest

reflective of the crisis in HE, rising fascist governments and an ever increasing climate crisis, in my first lecture of the new academic year - 'what is culture' - I'm going to just lie on the floor crying while incanting 'god is dead, we killed him'

I wish university management as a collective had the intellectual curiosity about what 'ai' is and isn't. Specifically the fact it has no 'i' and that it is a technology that perfectly serves our anti-intellectual, fascist times.

and yet people will still describe Walliams as an author

At the age where all the great character actors of your formative years are passing away.

That feeling when you think you handling perlite from your seed compost but actually turns out to be hundreds of ant eggs. That's an experience I'll tell you.

"Reeves says use of hotels for asylum seekers to end in this parliament" A non-performative utterance if ever there was one.

That's two billion bigger at an inflation rate of zero, 0 billion bigger at an annual inflation rate of 1%, and 2 billion less at an annual inflation rate of 2%.

me: in cheers frasier said his dad was dead but then when sam visited him in seattle he had to explain that he was lying because their relationship was strained but to me the weirder thing is he never mentioned niles to anyone at cheers the federal soldier being unlawfully quartered in my home: ok

Just seeing a map of LA makes me feel queasy at the amount of roads

This is legitimately one of the funniest and yet inevitable developments I have seen.

In same time all labour saving innovations have actually *saved time". Turkeys and the festive vote.

Is it Babylon 5 Season 4 yet in America?

The top comment on this is "I have no one to talk about this to" and I feel that too.

Feel like I've survived some traumatic event. Just tried to make rye bread.

Between Greta Thunberg and her fellow activists being kidnapped by Israel and Trump turning LA into his personal war zone, I hope people realise that protest, no matter how peaceful, will always be met with violence by dying empires.

Keir Starmer will no doubt thank Israel for intercepting a British boat and kidnapping Greta Thunberg in the hope of increasing his appeal to Reform voters.

Top of the article and bottom of the article. Sigh.

I am once again asking economists to not do any sociological analysis

Oh no, it's always the ones hiding in plain fucking sight

Simone Biles. That is all. That's the post.

Phew, back to despising Spurs with a heated passion www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

BBC just can't help themselves

Twitter: this is how men with huge balls fight. This is what masculinity looks like Bluesky: this is the first messy breakup of pride month

This 👇 Plus, SNP success is predicated on high turnout. It's rise and fall often follows turnout. Let's watch the stories of Scottish Labour's revival for now though!

Not sure I want to be in a world where information on the fascist takeover of the world's most powerful nation can be found by clicking the "big balls" trend.
