If you said you wanted to see a negotiated peace in Ukraine at any point in the last three years, this guy and his numerous hangers on and fans would’ve been down your neck in two seconds calling you a Russian traitor. What he means is: when the US president says Jump we ask, How high.

Eventually the sensibles are going to have to ask themselves why Labour are bragging about enacting Tory policies

My Twitch harassment/stalking story is live now at Rolling Stone. It’s an intense read but I’m proud of it. Thank you to the women (and man) who spoke to me for this piece. You’re brave and bold and badass! www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

I talked to Rep. Ayanna Pressley about abortion at SXSW! in @jezebeldotcom.bsky.social

Takashi Shimura in Akira Kurosawa's RASHOMON (1950) Shimura was BOTD in 1905

Feel like these needs a Nu New Labour update.

I was on the Philosophy Bites podcast to talk about – if you can believe it – Henri Bergson with @nigelwarburton.bsky.social! philosophybites.libsyn.com/emily-herrin...

Schumer needs to go. There is no excuse for being this unprepared

Damn, it turns out the ministers in the genocide government aren't trustworthy? I am astonished!

I spoke to @owenjones.bsky.social about the accountability hole at the heart of the BBC’s Gaza coverage. We go into everything from language shielding Israel, to my fundraising for the education charity Gaza Great Minds as a Miss Universe GB finalist. Have a listen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5Hp...

Damn, Albert Einstein was also funded by Hamas?

the authoritarianism is bad, but the loser energy is absolutely intolerable

Conservatives are really struggling with the Sam Seder Jubilee video. They got a glimpse of how deranged they all sound and it seems to be causing a lot of psychic anguish. If only the Democrats had found a punchy way to call Republicans "weird" and ran on that last year. May have moved the needle.

new video! The YouTubers Who Backed a Genocide youtu.be/SsPCxoln6fQ?...

It's a cliché, but isn't it funny how "making tough decisions" in government always involves hurting people who are in no state to fight back, rather than those who would feel no pain through being taxed?

Every journo who bangs on about the ease of falsely obtaining PIP: go on then.

Disabled people are not a burden. They are our neighbours and friends — and they deserve to live fulfilling lives just like anyone else. A statement from the Independent Alliance on cuts to welfare.

Guy who uses computers to hurt countless people every day: hello 911 someone's hurting my computers

the fact that people are being disappeared in the name of ""preventing antisemitism"" by a christian nationalist administration is making me nauseated and horrified in ways i cant even begin to explain

Agnès Varda e Sandrine Bonnaire fotografadas no set de "Vagabond", fantástico drama de 1985.🎬🇫🇷 #agnesvarda #sandrinebonnaire #vagabond

thinking about when siskel and ebert were dicking off and riffing in-between takes and decided to roast the shit out of the protestants

This is from 2015 so she told us who she was ten years ago. This is not about appealing to Reform voters, this is who they are: ableist, eugenicist, odious, disgusting neoliberal ghouls.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

Peter Walker graciously filing whatever borderline ‘useless eater’ shit gets sent to him by government sources. A real journalist would name them - that is the actual story - but Walker always happy to inch along the road to fascism to own the left

It is important to note that absolutely nobody has phoned up the Guardian and said "we need you to manufacture consent for us to target disabled children with our cuts." This is just what they instinctively knew they had to do, as outriders for a government intent on targeting disabled children.

This is "the liberal bulwark against fascism" The centre left media cheering on the centre left government's dismantling of whatever protections remain for the most vulnerable after decades of austerity

This is what English journalists spend their time doing right now — the far right is in its ascendancy and these bleary-eyed white trash lunatics are singularly concerned with beating up on disabled children.

If you wanted to explain how the police protect the interests of capital in a single picture

Voted Labour? This is on you. Hope you can sleep at night. www.thenational.scot/news/2499255...

Might I respectfully suggest to those ex Labour MPs who are never going to be allowed to stand for Labour again that now might be the time to start the long-trailed new party.

Thinking of Andrea Long Chu's description of the "far center" as people who hold reactionary beliefs but are obsessed with maintaining their self-image as a liberal person

I pitched Hind Rajab’s story to the BBC while she was still alive. I will never stop fighting for the newsroom conditions in which her story would have been told long before she was killed by Israel. We’d have seen immediate wall to wall coverage of a 5-year-old white girl.

ON FALLING is a magnificent, timely film about the asset stripping of our souls that not only enriches its audience but also steels our resolve to rise up and to understand that we have nothing to lose but our mind chains. www.theguardian.com/film/2024/se...

DEI Obsession Destroys Right Winger’s Brain

A must read review of No Other Land www.rogerebert.com/reviews/no-o...

Middle class professions have been slowly but steadily getting dragged back into the ranks of the stepped-upon, and people who would always have assumed upward mobility are now being eaten alive. This is only going to accelerate now, and I’d like to think this would focus minds.

going live in 10 minutes and I am absolutely starting with an unhinged rant about this censure: www.twitch.tv/katmabu

Judith Butler: "Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?"

This is the most dangerous, irresponsible framing imaginable. Not to mention it is bollocks. The big big winners from positioning Ukrainian security against poor British people & our public services are the far right. TAX THE RICH TO PAY FOR DEFENSE. PROTECT OUR WELFARE STATE.

We are everywhere you get your podcasts!!!!!!!

In 2024, the UK’s billionaires increased their collective wealth by £35 million every day. Corporate profits are soaring. Instead of trying to balance the books on the backs of the poorest both in the UK and abroad by cutting welfare and aid, it's time this government started taxing wealth fairly.

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

Private Eye is a cesspit and more people need to be calling Ian Hislop to account for the increasingly far-right direction it has taken in recent years- not to mention him being just about the last editor in the UK still willing to employ Nick Cohen.
