a lot of women and non-white people and queer people are *stupid assholes* and it still doesn’t mean it’s OK to discriminate against them there’s no “misogyny, racism, and queerphobia are OK when they’re being applied to stupid assholes” caveat, and that’s for very good reason

From a FOIA perspective, "the entire federal workforce should write down and email what they did last week" is extremely funny

sirota sephiroth-posted "we are going to go all the way to the convention with a plurality after the moderates fail to consolidate then dare them to blow up the coalition by not making me the candidate" and immediately thereafter the moderates consolidated. this is compared to murder

Oh this is just ridiculous. Labour are very unpopular, and yet they lead the Tories on *every* attribute. You can't run a democracy with an Opposition this bad.

Most Western governments and politicians right now have no idea what they are up against. Our infrastructure and our alliances are completely outdated.

The thing about swastikas spray painted on the side of a cybertruck is there’s a 50/50 chance the owner did it.

lol

I'm not having Fraser Nelson playing dumb on the rise of racism on the right after years spent printing Murray, Liddle, Taki and Shriver. I literally had a DM row with him years ago where I said this would happen.

When you don't respond to Elon's email, that's termination. When Elon doesn't respond to your email, that's parenting.

the subtext here is “liberal jews are bad for us and bad for you, so when we come for them, don’t get mad at us”

amazing how New York Times editors seem to regularly do this thing that would've gotten me fired from most jobs I've had

All of the people cheering on Luigi and saying that he did nothing wrong when he executed a premeditated murder make me really uncomfortable. Once you say that he’s justified, I can’t trust that you aren’t going to say political violence against more people is justified, and that’s a real bad path.

Time for this I think. Every new signal from the White House says they’re abandoning Ukraine and actually want to ally with Russia. Worse than even just the pessimistic prediction of simple abandonment.

“This fascist bigot is reluctant to decline whitewashing profiles where we skim over the racist beliefs of a non-entity with a failed podcast” What are you doing with your life

Eric Adams has a remarkable commitment to being a dumbass.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

It is disgusting. Not only must Ukraine accept this blackmail, it must do so while also accepting the loss of 20% of its territory. That’s not ‘peace’ it is extortion.

Starlink in Ukraine operates based on paid contracts. If it’s being used as an extortion tool, then other countries should consider it a potential security risk - just like Russian gas used for blackmailing. If Ukraine is cut off, it would be wise for Europe to reconsider its use

Awaiting 2 months of push notifications from Chris Mason on this

SCOOP: New Social Security chief was being investigated for leaking data to DOGE when Musk team tapped him. Sr officials placed him on paid leave while probing whether he may have violated privacy & tax laws, WaPo's Lisa Rein reports. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Interesting how papers in other countries aren't afraid to call this what it is. elpais.com/mexico/2025-...

“The basic question is: which side are you on? Putin, Musk, Trump and the sieg-heiling Bannon? Or European democracy.” Exactly right from @paulmason.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/htsf/p/w...

They’re going to have people following them around, including picketing their homes. They’re not going to evade this.

Trump’s purge at the Pentagon is just the start. Last night he fired the highly-regarded General C Q Brown, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and replaced him with a retired three-star general, Dan Caine, who on their first meeting put on a MAGA cap and said ‘I love you, sir.’

The biggest suprise for me was the two non-entity racists didn’t already have Spectator columns. That’s their whole thing

KAMALA HARRIS: you didn't just fall out of a coconut tree... MEDIAN SWING VOTER: yes I fucking did how dare you

Michael Young coined the phrase "meritocracy" as satire, and then he fathered Toby Young in case people didn't get the joke.

So much for the whole 'he won't dare touch the military, they're a check' analysis.

I like that he’s clearly reached the level where even the people he pays to pretend he’s funny can’t pretend anymore so now it’s that everyone must be like the Man Who Cannot Post

It’s interesting that the right think a podcast by two bigots no one has heard of is “driving the national conversation” rather than dealing with the fact they’re just withdrawing into their comfort blanket

A trailer during U20 Six Nations coverage has revealed #DoctorWho series two as April 12th. Pretty sure that wasn’t the plan.

pedo-con theory

Trump relies on people reading about him & not seeing videos of him being the whingest little cunt you’ve ever seen at any pushback

it is cool how this is illegal and that does not make it into the headline at all

Brilliant minds all around

Does anyone know why we haven't done this?

his entire presidency will be just pardoning these same people over and over again

How it started. How it’s going

Republicans are really just mounting a full-on war against the First Amendment. Today Florida's new "how did this guy get a license to practice" AG filed a lawsuit against Target for the Pride merchandise it sold in 2023, alleging harms to FL's retirement fund. floridaphoenix.com/2025/02/20/f...

stove touching cometh?

Good luck finding people who want to be child genital inspectors in a state with this level of personal gun ownership bsky.app/profile/orii...

I don’t know of any other country that surrendered in a war it was winning, while not even fighting.

The media acting like Musk invented the Nazi salute and everyone else is just copying him is the weirdest form of Holocaust denial
