There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend. I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

Trump has now completely humiliated his apologists in the U.K. but not one of them will be honest enough to admit it.

Happy birthday to Ice-T. Here he is hosting a hip hop special on the BBC’s Late Show in May 1990, featuring live performances by himself, Public Enemy, Digital Underground, Jungle Brothers, BDP and Queen Latifah youtu.be/tIF1oroDuTg

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I *am* the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me." Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.

I don't see how there is any functioning security relationship with the US now. It's run by fascists. One of them has been relentlessly trying to undermine our democracy for 9 months, calling for civil war, regime change. We've had 2 days of Trump conceding Putin's war demands. What's left?

This is a reminder that these people are *incredibly* stupid. They marinate in a constant fetid pool of right-wing grievance culture, crude propaganda, and neo-Nazi garbage. They are terminally online and terminally disengaged from the real world or the consequences of their bullshit.

It's not complicated. They're just trying to stop women from being able to vote.

I don't think it's obvious because of the overwhelming amount of chaos in the news, but this is the biggest shift in American foreign policy since 1945. This is a titanic shift, and I'm not sure anyone knows what the result is going to be.

he looks like the two banshees of inisherin guys combined

'Hello, we're mad, we want everyone to hate us and we don't want to win the next election'. 😱

Apologies - I forget who sent this blog about Yarvin's blueprint, which looks uncannily like what Musk is actually attempting. www.thenerdreich.com/reboot-elon-...

"I’m far from the first to ask this, but – what do they think we elected them for, exactly?" On how I am losing patience with this government's failure to challenge the right.

“You were ONLY supposed to be RACIST”

Americans are about to learn some economics.

God I fucking hate the current Labour party.

He makes himself big

Stealing shamelessly from tumblr user flootzavut because this is absolute genius: avoid getting AI slop at the top of your google search by adding "fucking" into your query

One week apart.

We’re about to see what happens after a terrible incident when the worst people imaginable - supported by the most conspiracy-receptive people imaginable - are in charge. The calm, gravitas & empathy needed at a time like this are going to be conspicuously absent & blameless groups will be blamed.

i’m about to invent a technology that steals information that was stolen from ai technology that stole from people that put information on the internet. does anyone want to invest 1 trillion dollars in this

well so much for AI. Next VC lottery ticket tech bubble: [ ] quantum computing [ ] small modular reactors [ ] vinyl records [ ] small rocks and twigs

If you wear a shirt with more than 1 button undone in public you are a bellend

The speed with which companies are abandoning DEI is a clue about how shallow their commitment to it ever was.

Pathetic, weak.

this piece was written by john f. harris, one of the founders of politico and currently an editor there. it isnt an opinion piece by a maga head. its a piece by one of the most influential mainstream journalists in america. this is the shit we are facing.

The press is going to try to memory hole their own culpability and credulity, but when Trump issues a shitload of executive orders lifted verbatim from Project 2025, we shouldn’t let them forget that they let him off the hook by giving the least convincing denial in history.

People quibble when you call these people fascists, but fascism is the practical end result of craven power seeking authoritarians no matter their personal belief system.

What a great joke. Lays bare the essential idiocy of bigotry, sets up a punchline the crowd can enjoy in their heads, and then tops it 🤌🏽

Norfolk, can you please rescue your village idiot, it is currently wandering around Washington DC in fancy dress.

Just remembering that time the Velvet Underground tried to lighten the mood

The last year of needless slaughter - and the ongoing suffering of the hostages - is the responsibility not just of these genocidal maniacs, but of the Israeli government as a whole - and their enablers and apologists here. www.timesofisrael.com/ben-gvir-say...

Had never seen this before I'm crying. How does it just keep getting worse. Bro cooking nothing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=59NV...

Twice. Put a moron in the White House twice. And that's not counting the other ones.

Most people who work at a computer aren't super excited about wasting a lot of time getting to and from the office, and when you force people to go back to that it makes them angry. The consequences of that should be pretty easy to predict and yet...
