Again, Rod Stewart has vocalised his support for Enoch Powell, anti-immigrant sentiment, and recently, Nigel Farage. The BBC have no issue televising his set.

Whacked on the BBC Glasto coverage to see what they were showing instead of Kneecap and caught Amy of Amyl & the Sniffers giving a pro Palestine speech... Beeb editors playing whack-a-mole

Viktor Orban banned pride events in Hungary, the people took it as a challenge and just had the largest pride march in their country's history.

someone called AI summaries "mansplaining as a service" and now I can't unthink that.

I cannot do enough to stress how much money the executive class simply helps itself to, and how much it really is just that - helping themselves. Once again I say - the problem with “AAA” game dev is not “games are too expensive to make.” It’s that game execs are too expensive to pay.

hey remember when a rich ceo died then when they caught the suspect they made a circus of it like they found osama bin laden and charged him with terrorism but less than weeks ago two democrat lawmakers and their spouses were shot as literal assassination to shift control and everyone already forgot

What is it with rich comfortable people and their desire to back the absolute worst of humanity? Answer: greed and "protecting their own!" If anyone thinks Farage is anything but a swamp dwelling con man, then they're deluded or ignorant. Putting that prick on any kind of pedestal is shameful.

the Death Stranding 2 video no one asked for

Though disappointing, I can somehow understand why some of you don't even bother with alt text on your image posts. Because however much you tried, you would never measure up to Star Trek Minus Content's skill and passion.

I don't like how increasingly diffuse the line between "gaming" (video( )games) and "gaming" (gambling) is becoming. www.riotgames.com/en/news/espo...

A great read. Under first-past-the-post, Reform could get a majority of seats with a tiny vote share, enabling the radical right to govern and - above all - disregarding most voters. Proportional Representation now. #ProportionalRepresentation

"GenAI doesn't save any time or money and there is yet to be a single use case that is better than an existing solution" "Ah, but have you considered that a lot of investor cash is being funnelled into one specific tech company in California" "Very well, increase power to the torment nexus"

Around 3/4 of people don’t want Reform in power. But the narrative is that they are unstoppable. First-past-the-post has warped British politics for far too long. Now it risks letting the extreme right win a majority. It needs to go. My latest guardian column: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

probably a good time to bring this back

Old manifestos were so much better written. This is from Labour's 1924 manifesto, under the heading "The Spirit That Giveth Life".

Politics is not a game. It's people's lives. The Government's welfare cuts will have a catastrophic impact on the sick & disabled, and plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty. It's simple: show some humanity and drop this Bill, now.

Fuck's sake blood sugar, why are we in this fucking dance again, I don't want to eat more shit to balance you out, I want to go to sleeeeeep

Misleading headline is misleading. bsky.app/profile/kint...

Middle aisle of Lidl band names Glastonbury edition

I keep seeing people claim that Starmer is being "attacked" to "weaken him so Reform can win". It isn't an attack to defend people's rights. It isn't an attack to call out bad policy. If Labour loses to Reform, that will be on Starmer, not the people who refuse to vote for what Labour now is. 1/

an entire genre of movie is "Ryan Gosling has a jacket"

if you think every voice actor is a millionaire, you are not immune to propaganda and would not survive the winter, sorry.

Pedro Pascal defended calling out JK Rowling as a "heinous loser" and said that "bullies make me fucking sick" and that he wants to "protect the people I love." variety.com/2025/tv/news...

hey, i made a terrible comic instead of working #makeaterriblecomicday2025

BREAKING: Sir Keir Starmer, who couldn't find £4 billion a year for hungry kids, has magically found £80 billion a year for defence after identifying that Russia, Iran and North Korea are going to invade us 😕

I'm going to be honest here, I think AI is going to do so much damage to the usable internet that even after it's inevitably crashes out, it's going to take years to disentangle from every space it's polluted, like digital asbestos it's gonna be time consuming effort and likely expensive venture.

I remember when the Internet was good 😔

Unbound authors’ statement on the collapse of the publisher. Please read it and share. If you want to know what really went on, here are some answers:

Punt him. Get us a PM who’s not just a red badge on a blue shirt.

Did you know? Your pupils are the last part of your body that stops working when you die. Yeah…apparently they dilate.

Note all the supposed "liberals" with nothing to say about Palestine Action being banned. Nothing to say about a direct action movement being legally classified in the same box as ISIS. Pathetic. Embarrassing. These charlatans will help pave the way for fascism in this country

Republicans can dehumanize me, call me a predator, a groomer, and any number of other hurtful & dishonest things, because they hate who and what I am and our society has allowed room for that hate. But if I call them cruel, vile, and willfully ignorant, I'm crossing the line, I gotta be more civil.

I still think this is a strong contender for the funniest video ever uploaded. Absolutely unbeatable comedic rhythm

In the world Labour is creating you can be as enthusiastic as you like about genocide but it will be a criminal offence to express support for Palestine Action's attempts to stop it.

yes i am sure

I mean, I'm right here, editors. I no longer have a retainer (had hoped I'd keep getting review work from a couple of places, but apparently not). Please hire me.

J.K. Rowling is a menace to society whose anti-trans rhetoric is violent and encourages offline violence. Her telling people to take pictures of suspected trans women in bathrooms and disseminate them is sexual harassment. And it puts everyone in the women’s bathroom in danger.
