Just seen someone claiming that if an act at Glastonbury had been chanting “death to Hamas” instead of “death to the IDF”, they’d have been immediately pulled off stage. Like, come on, be serious, no they wouldn’t, they’d have been immediately given a cabinet spot in the Labour Government.

If I were Bob Vylan, I’d probably be looking into some legal action against Emily Eavis/Glastonbury right now, for that official statement falsely claiming their words to be anti-semitic. Incredible that their lawyers would let them post something so clearly defamatory.

If I were the leader of an increasingly right-wing Labour Party, I would simply avoid making this phrase available as a soundbite.

It would be extremely funny if the rebellion against the proposed PIP cuts is enough for Keir Starmer to lose his job, and so the legacy of his attempts an enacting welfare cuts is just an extra person claiming Universal Credit.

This article had two writers, and it’s literally just copy-and-pasting some random transphobes on Twitter. Christ, journalism is dead. www.devonlive.com/news/celebs-...

Parasite becomes aggressive. Sure all the musicians looking at our £0.0003 Spotify payouts for our work are delighted this is what our fans’ money went towards instead, and the fans equally pleased. Artists are always very in favour of war, traditionally.

JK Rowling is working on a new Harry Potter audiobook series as we speak.

The problem with this ‘let’s weaken our commitment to the ECHR so as to fend off Farage’ plan is that when it doesn’t work, we end up with Farage *and* a weakened commitment to the ECHR at exactly the moment we need the ECHR the most.

you don’t understand. we have to murder disabled ppl. the alternative is taxing the 200+ billionaires who live in the uk and we couldn’t possibly do that.

How do The Simpsons keep such accurate predictions?? This one is eerie!

If I had a nickel for every Lee Mack show pulled from broadcast due to a contestant showing Nazi symbols, I would have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Reckon we’re around an hour away from David Walliams saying he’s actually just autistic.

“Immigrants should integrate more,” I scream, as I burn my own town to the ground. The charred corpse of irony lays beside me.

10 yrs ago labour and tories agreed that self id was the right thing to do it was reported in the press, correctly, as a mild change to some bureaucracy the american religious right started spreading a conspiracy about us, in response to gay marriage being legalised, and columnists got sucked in

It’s counterintuitive when you say this is an era of more deep and calculated illiberal repression and forceful backsliding than it was under the Tories, but it is: the Sensibles will “end the culture war” alright, by unifying with the right and far right to stamp upon the troublesome and different.

So, Steve Bannon is suggesting Trump should investigate Elon Musk’s immigration status, whilst Elon is tweeting that Donald Trump is a pedophile. Not quite the Alien Vs Predator reboot I was hoping for.

Can’t lie, it would be very funny now if Doctor Who doesn’t end up getting renewed, and that twist just never ends up getting any kind of explanation. That is forever how the show ends.

DOCTOR WHO SPOILER Can’t help but think that might be a bit fucking late for the spoiler warning, lads.

I really don’t think it’s discussed enough that the result of Maya Forstater’s employment tribunal said her “gender critical” beliefs were legally held as long as she didn’t discriminate against or misgender trans people, and she’s spent every single fucking day since the judgement doing just that.

"My product is not viable without theft" should be the end of the conversation and the obvious death knell for it

“I needed ChatGPT to tell me to call an ambulance during a medical emergency” is not the sales pitch for ChatGPT this person seems to think it is.

I asked an AI generator to show what transphobes see when they look at a trans child, and this is what it came up with.

Mike Richards just heard the title of the film What Is A Woman? and thought, “wow, the Daily Wire must be huge fans of the Jeopardy! question format.”

Labour: We should be able to give drugs to people who don’t consent to them Also Labour: trans children who consent to puberty blockers are not allowed to have them
