Absolute masterpiece of an album

✍️ The US is talking about mass sterilisation – again A senior US government official has called for “lower quality humans” to be sterilised en masse – his country has been here before By Jennie Kermode @jenniekermode.bsky.social

This is horrific. I'm lost for words.

Lol what?? Can the “adapt literally everything into a musical” trend please just die.

Two Israeli tourists were shot by "florida man" because he mistook them for Palestinians. Two things: 1.) He shot them because he thought he had the right to it, correct? Sick fuck. 2.) That he mistook them for Palistinians doesn't make it better. Only in the minds of inbred rednecks like him.

At least 7 plane crashes since Trump and Musk destroyed aviation safety in the United States. That's an average of 1 plane crash every 3 days. 1/29 – Washington, D.C. 1/31 – Pennsylvania 2/5 – Washington 2/6 – Alaska 2/10 – Arizona 2/12 – California 2/16 – Georgia

Just sayin...

This is fascism.

Jesus fucking christ…

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.

Masterpiece.

Oops 😬

every day we see more and more evidence of society descending into utter lawlessness and chaos

I linked DOGE staffer Marko Elez to a deleted X account that advocated repealing the Civil Rights Act, backed a “eugenic immigration policy,” and wrote, “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity." He just resigned. www.wsj.com/tech/doge-st...

FBI Uncovers Al-Qaeda Plot To Just Sit Back And Enjoy Collapse Of United States

Exactly this. Just 2% of Musk's wealth could feed the very poorest and most desperate people in the world. He could use his money to do extraordinary things - and could go down in history as a hero. Instead he has deliberately chosen to be an evil, villainous dick

Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them as “targets.”

So tired of this idea that billionaires are our "betters" whose opinion is super important because they have a lot of money. It's bullshit. They're mostly greedy sociopaths who have no problem destroying people who get in their way. That doesn't make your opinion one to be valued, in my opinion.

What if there were a coup, the US government fell to a drug-addled oligarch who seized control of our money, secrets, and levers of power, and Corporate media did not report on it?

It's a tragedy.

Is anyone the least bit surprised?

I know that millions of Americans find this deeply embarrassing. And my sympathy with them But honestly, this is the sort of petty crap that failing autocratic countries engage in. www.reuters.com/world/us/goo...

What’s grosser than gross? (Pun unintended)

Record jump in number of UK firms in financial distress. Nothing is done to control cost of essentials - rent, energy, water, transport. These impact every business, can't shop around. Govt must check profiteering, use public ownership to help businesses and people. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“self-centred obsessives have no concern for the interests of others… …but they apparently understand each other enough to defend their shared privilege.”

Well, this is going to end horrifically. Also, can you really call yourself an "invisible empire" when you have it written on a flag? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It’s frankly amazing how far our press has fallen over the last decade…

What we are witnessing is the normalisation of extremism. If we allow the right to pretend that the German AFD is just another conservative party... or that Donald Trump is just another president... or that Elon Musk was just getting carried away with that salute are on a distinctly dangerous path.

Fuck off Meta… My Instagram account is purely about photography, I don’t interact with any political content on there. This is a blatant push by Zuck and it’s as cringe as it is awful.

Who made this 🤣

Sounds like a plan

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

I’ve been telling people exactly this. The real issue we’re facing is a class war but the billionaires are distracting us from their greed because they know our collective power is stronger than theirs.

I play a popular MMPORG on a global server with pretty much no moderation - so you can imagine what world chat is like… Someone mentioned Elon Musk the other day and the vast majority of replies were people slagging him off. Even gamers hate him now.

Private school run in south London linked to 27% rise in air pollution. Rise caused by parents ferrying children in Range Rovers and SUVs, not using public transport. The rich cause most of the carbon emissions, don't bear the social cost. Tax the rich. www.theguardian.com/education/20...
