By the time major media agree that it's a dictatorship, it will be so far along that they'll be afraid to call it a dictatorship.

To be fair, i also forgot that they did that all the time. I wore big heels with them in the early 2000s and can't be bothered to now lol

Ending of this is very:

There’s an awful NYT article about ADHD going around. I’m not going to signal boost it, but I want to say one thing: Raising the specter of “addiction” with regard to people with ADHD using stimulants always makes me laugh. Most of us have trouble even remembering to take and refill our medications.

Omg is the only way to get more rail in this country to use Hard Labour?!

My choir teacher should be so proud - I read the words "Zadok the Priest" and my eyebrows automatically tried to reach my hair, I sat up straight and took a huge deep breath

I just attended a conference in the US. We had one speaker detained and two others turned away at the border.

1. A full time worker doing 40hrs a week on the new increased £12.21/hr minimum wage would earn just over £25,000. 2. The Plan 5 student loan repayment threshold (ie English students who started uni since 2023) is £25,000 and is frozen until 2027 contd

"oh no, this'll make the right wing mad!" Buddy they get into a frothing rage over like, cereal mascots and cartoon characters and the mere existence of gay people and what oil a French fry is cooked in and women knowing how to read, etc. They'll get mad anyway, no matter what. Tell em to fuck off

Look, if he has a percentage in mind then he needs to submit it to federal policy committee, in 8 years he might be able to bring a suggestion to conference

This is going to cause someone to become the joker

Okay the real anti-gamer move is they just exempted smartphones and laptops from the tariffs but didn’t exempt video game consoles.

you'll never be rid of him

I can only assume that in 20 years we will have the biggest shortage of therapists ever seen, and that "Escaping my stupid parents" will be the name of at least 4,000 different podcasts / holoprogrammes.

Honestly, at this stage they might as well be saying the tariff will be 8 bajillion %

"The fact that no one is questioning his mental acuity or fitness to serve is beyond wild to me, right?" said Representative Jasmine Crockett on MSNBC. She is 100% correct.
