I don't think there should be in any doubt any more that the Labour leadership is deeply transphobic & has moved dangerously to the far right. They are now a trans eliminationist group and should be treated in the same way as any racist, antisemitic, homophobic or similar group.

Given his spiralling drug habit, physical coordination of shopping trolley & a predilection for vehicles that explode, never has the instruction ‘Make it look like an accident’ been more redundant. If he’s found folded into a vending machine with a machete in his neck you’d think ‘Yep, that tracks’.

For those who want it in simple terms, one of the people in charge of ensuring the UK respects human rights for everyone has said some people should accept having fewer rights.

hi, divorce expert here! this is not funny, JD Vance only does this when he's in extreme distress.

I sure do love KING KONG VS GODZILLA (1962), I mention for no particular reason

This is all very simple. Let the world's two biggest babies fight and visibly construct and build a world without them. Anybody who tries to welcome Elon Musk, the world's most preeminent ratfucker, into their political party should be put in a dog crate until 2029.

I'll never get over how the best line in all of noir – "I've got eight slugs in me. One's lead, and the rest are bourbon" – doesn't come from Raymond Chandler or Dashiell Hammett, but Calvin and Hobbes

Taking off my shitposter: the reason we are being SO jokey is we clearly see these terrifying people shouldn't be in charge of everything, are destroying and stealing the entire country, we are powerless to stop it because even the Democrats hate us, and one day people will say no one saw it coming

Dozens of companies who sponsored Pride marches last year have pulled out this year, including: Dyson Nivea Tiffany & Co. Capital One UPS Disney DoorDash Live Nation Nissan Citi Corporate Pride was always a hoax. https://popular.info/p/pride-and-prejudice-in-corporate

Tapping the sign

Discworld QOTD, from Going Postal “There was no safety. There was no pride. All there was, was money. Everything became money, and money became everything. Money treated us as if we were things, and we died.”

On Facebook they post endless warnings about Nigel Farage. Last week Starmer did a big giant speech about the dangers of Farage. All the while they're trying to be him. It would be like saying "I hate David Bowie, he's so shit" while sporting a red glitter lightning bolt over one eye.

I keep seeing people say Musk “failed” in his government takeover. No, he did not fail. He shut down investigations into his businesses, he garnered huge contracts, and he stole the personal data of everyone in the US. That’s not a “failure.” This motherfucker won, and won big.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Peoples lives have just become an expensive pain in the arse. Work doesnt pay, bills leave nothing left, food extortionate. Try to use institutions or services you pay for, they are woeful. Trade deals and GDP dont matter. People are sick of being mugged off.

Someone else said something very similar to this the other day, but. It really burns me that our (millennials') generation was legally terrorized for like, downloading Radiohead discographies But we're supposed to be ok with billionaires stealing human intellectual output in its entirety bc AI

People struggle to get through HMRC phone lines, big corporations secure ‘sweetheart deals’. Parliament can't check fairness/legality, all hidden behind a veil of confidentiality. Veil can be lifted by public filing of the tax returns of large companies. No major party supports transparency

Watching one of the Mission Impossible movies with Sam when yet another character peels back their face to reveal it is but a mask—they've secretly been Tom Cruise the entire time. "They can't just keep casting Disguise Self to solve *every* problem!" Sam exclaims. Oh, but they can. And they do.

Time to post it again.

Most political commentators are too polite to say this, but Trump won because of his appeal to the most important voting bloc: morons. If the Democrats want to win again the answer isn’t becoming more left or more right, it’s coming up with dumb policies that morons like

No, say it louder. It's absolute bullshit how Across the Spider-Verse made over $300 million in profit, yet neither Marvel nor Sony could be bothered to defray the hospital bills of the man who co-created Miguel O'Hara. Instead they left his wife and family scrambling to afford to live.

I learned more about kindness and humanity from reading Terry Pratchett than anyone or anything else and it isn’t particularly close we lost him far too soon GNU Terry Pratchett, and a happy Glorious Twenty-Fifth of May to all of you

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.  Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

You’re not lazy, you’re overwhelmed. You’re not antisocial, you’re drained. You’re not broken, you’re trying to survive in a system built to burn you out.

sorry, i’ve got to cancel our plans this evening. i’m encumbered again. no i will not drop any of my items

"But this isn’t just Netanyahu’s genocide. This is the Biden-Harris genocide; the Trump-Vance genocide; the Keir Starmer and David Lammy genocide. It is Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella’s genocide. This is the mainstream media’s genocide. The list goes on." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The "We need a Joe Rogan of the left thing" is bizarre because there is already a Joe Rogan of the left, he goes by HBomberGuy and the fact that his channel doesn't check their boxes is why the people demanding a Joe Rogan of the left in fact do not actually want a Joe Rogan of the left

do you know how little money this would cost?

"I am getting very sick & tired of having to go onto news programs because journalists aren't allowed in to point out what is happening here... this is a televised slaughter. History will not judge us kindly." I spoke today to Dr Tom Potokar, UK surgeon in Gaza: Full intv: zeteo.com/p/televised-...

Just taking my birth certificate swimming with me in case the person hosing down the pubes and plasters in the changing village reckons I have the wrong shaped skull to go for a piss

Ambassador Spock modeling the proper “fuck you, make me” response to intimidation tactics. Our current-day institutions could learn a lot from him.

Important content.

"Police have been issued guidance on how to search women’s homes for abortion drugs and check their phones for menstrual cycle tracking apps after unexpected pregnancy loss" "...police could bypass legal requirements for a court order to obtain medical records..." observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Israel and Gaza today. #Eurovision supporting genocide. Fuck them

Wes Streeting is suppressing the publication of a report that would show that what he's doing to trans kids has increased the suicide rate Scandal upon scandal

I RAGED at this on the radio yesterday, and will repeat my mantra: you cannot (MUST NOT) ask people to develop 'resilience' or 'grit' against those things that are in your power to change. 'Develop resilience' so often means 'your disability is inconveniencing me, please be less disabled' 🧵

Animal Farm

Editor: You get the pictures for the air traffic controller story? Photographer: Sure did boss. Real fucking sexy just like you asked. Editor: What

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

The difference just 4 years can make when land is released from overgrazing. Nothing was planted here: all these native trees, wildflowers, etc, came naturally, along with loads of butterflies, birds, + other animal life. THIS is how we reverse nature loss. #Rewilding 🌍

My “an unauthorized modification was made at approximately 3:15 AM PST” T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

No one who cares about wildlife and ecosystems is now likely to vote Labour in 2029. Or about Gaza. Or poverty. Or inequality. Or international aid. Or corporate power. Or democratic reform. Or racism. Or trans rights. So that's goodbye to just about its entire vote. What are they playing at?
