despite everything tumblr remains undefeated as a platform full of the funniest people online fyi

we are still under the six month mark for a couple weeks and it is incredibly difficult to see how this is sustainable for 3.5 more years

fucking legend. protect Die Workwear

It’s crackers to do this while continuing on with the same approach. If can’t means test a benefit received by the other lot’s voters, can’t possibly hold to real terms cuts for some departments IMV.

no tolerance whatsoever for this “we should deport the criminals and i totally trusted the guy who said mexicans were rapists but now i feel funny” horseshit. be a fucking adult and inform yourselves next time

"This isn't aid. It's a mouse trap." - important, harrowing piece this:

The elimination of Liberal Toryism - the reluctant midwife of every moment of social, political and economic progress since Catholic Emancipation - should frighten us all

I've no doubt they exist, but *WHO* is the person who wasn't going to buy something described as 'secondhand' but is won over by the label 'preloved', and can we make sure they don't vote?

i guess this to me is just confirmation of musk’s political incompetence. he got his hooks into the federal government with DOGE, he got the GOP beholden to him as a moneyman, and he was an Edith Wilson piloting an increasingly withdrawn Trump for a bit. He blew all of this

Three men sit in a cell in El Salvador. The first asks the second why he has been imprisoned. He replies, "Because I criticized Elon Musk." The first man responds, "But I am here for praising Musk!" They ask the third man who has been sitting quietly in the back. He answers, "I AM Elon Musk".

a lot of people getting their licks in on elon now LMAO

look, we're all out here making ourselves stressed out and miserable with terrible news all the time please let yourself enjoy this, for your own mental health

Musk is more evil than Trump; he spearheaded the destruction of USAID, which will lead to tens of millions of deaths. Trump okayed it (in theory; I doubt the old dotard knows) but the initiative was Musk’s. I hope the worst happens to him.

icarus of posting

is being terminally online bad for you? yes does it make you less happy than your offline friends? absolutely is there anything that matches the high of a poster's ragnarok? there is not, and that's why we can never log off

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

This feels like Alien vs Sexual Predator

All of Bluesky right now.

I’m not sure if you can overdose on schadenfreude but we’re about to find out

Reform UK falling apart and Trump/Musk spatting in public on the same day is just objectively funny

If Reform do crumble before the 2029 GE I really hope this will be the title of the leading academic journal article on that collapse. Something like, "Why Did Reform UK Collapse? An Arsehole Party That Struggled With Being Full of Arseholes".

I hope one of these Mars missions identifies a new inexhaustible source of popcorn, because we’re going to need it.

help

I’m so fucking here for this breakup

Genuinely good news. Extending FSM to all children on Universal Credit is long overdue. Will cut poverty and help improve concentration and health.

All children from households receiving universal credit will get free school meals, the government has announced ahead of next week’s spending review www.bigissue.com/news/social-...

cannot emphasize enough how much we are going to lose in length and quality of human life all across the globe because of this. infuriating and shameful.

god this makes me sad

the difference between this and all the “brave anti-woke academic speaking out despite the risks” is that (a) she’s actually risking something, and (b) she’s actually saying something that’s correct

why would "popularists" keep bringing up coalition-splitting issues. could it be that they have sincere political beliefs they want to impose and are hiding behind a facade of just-the-facts empiricism? couldn't be

"In 1938, Prague was far away. Most people did know nothing. That is no longer true: the whole world is just a click away. We know the people of Gaza or Kyiv. If you’re on the internet, it’s hard not to hear their voices." Has social media made the news too much for the human brain?

Even if "white British" will be a minority in the UK in 40 years - so what? Seriously, so what? What is so terrible about that? Make people spell out their horrors. Make them spell out the things they are supposedly not allowed to say. Make them own it.

You can't compromise with these people. I don't mean that morally, I mean it just as a factual statement: You cannot compromise with them because they don't know what they want, except for the world to be different than it is.

Trump held rallies calling for Mass Deportations for a full year, they -absolutely- voted to do that
