Reading spoilery reviews of 28 years later and all I can say is Alex Garland, you’ve done it again

Liberals are not okay.

I believe this is what used to be called accelerationism. When the left did it it was more about reordering the economic conditions of the planet, but the centrist version seems to be about getting populations they deem surplus to requirements to die by any means possible

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 100 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Someone on Twitter posted that they had run into Philip Glass at their lower Manhattan polling place, saying nice things about Mamdani. The campaign put this up as a quote-tweet within the hour.

Was playing Squid Game with my 4 year old yesterday, they just think it’s a cool costume

gosh you're going to feel so silly when you read this but: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_...

Big night for my man Holden

"I asked ChatGPT" "I asked Grok" I asked your parents and they swear they raised you better, what a disappointment you are

Hello. Please stop using Spotify. Or at least stop paying for it. I use YouTube on Firefox for android with Ublock Origin and an extension that allows you to listen to YouTube on a locked screen. Works well for me. If you like musicians, go direct to their Bandcamp or website. Thanks!

Trump is not a "dove" but my reading of his trimuphalist "we blew it all up it is over" rhetoric is he wants this shit off the tv in a couple of days and he will be mad when it isn't

The thing that is infuriating is that the vast majority of people who will die over this will be innocent Brown people but 90% of the discourse will be about Americans possibly dying

It's funny how we keep running the "what if we made a political party that perfectly catered to the views of the widely despised and untrustworthy British press?" Experiment and reliably it always disintegrates on contact with reality.

Evergreen tweet

Say what you will about Blair, at least he put the fucking hours in. These people are just the remora fish that’s left

Jesus Christ Luke is only two years older than me, he looks 70

Said it before, but Corbyn’s biggest flaw was he didn’t relentlessly go after and purge these scumbags the way they did him. He was far too pleasant and trusting in his dealings with them, should have seized the initiative and knifed them day one

They have made the world living hell for no reason whatsoever. People will ask why this happened in a decade and there will be tremendous effort to make it more complicated than “they were evil, stupid, and bored”

Trump is not unique. He's a billionaire and like all billionaires sees very little value in human life. It's them or us and we are running out of time to act.

And what you need to understand about *this* is: they weren’t asking the public’s permission to invade Iraq. They were going to do it regardless, this was only a sales pitch to keep at least some of the public on board.

This is a non-negotiable condition of being allowed to come anywhere near power in the UK. We could have changed it, but everyone was just having too much fun calling the left racist idiots, and so now we're going to trot after them and make war on Iran for no reason. Cool 👍

Parasite becomes aggressive. Sure all the musicians looking at our £0.0003 Spotify payouts for our work are delighted this is what our fans’ money went towards instead, and the fans equally pleased. Artists are always very in favour of war, traditionally.

He’s going to feel personally menaced if they’re on site when he’s trying to find some coke and strange backstage at green fields

Iran was negotiating in formal talks when Israel attacked them and killed their negotiator. Why would anyone, anywhere on earth, now show any restraint? America has shown they are madmen who cannot be deterred, restrained by no laws or even basic decency, and that violence is their best option.

Wondering if this shirt is still available

He's like a prick stepdad who's also a cop

I love a controversial board game. I used to own Rave; The Board Game, which was banned as you won Ecstasy tablets in gameplay
