If you'd told me a few months ago that I'd be desperately hoping that a 60-year-old white male banker was going to be officially elected Canada's Prime Minister, I'd have told myself to fuck right off with that nonsense, but here we are

Thanks to lottery backing, support from the man who co-created Morph, Aardman & Wallace & Gromit, Avon Wildlife Trust are about to turn an old dairy farm into a huge nature reserve & visitors centre Read the full story here: www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol...

WTAF?!

Elon Musk is reaching new levels of unhinged.

NEW -- Donald Trump campaigned on lowering taxes by trillions of dollars but ... PLOT TWIST! Today he's set to announce he's RAISING them by trillions of dollars instead! www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

I don’t understand the controversy. She was found guilty of embezzlement, the law wasn’t written specifically to apply to her; it is the law and applies to everyone - as it should. The only person to stop Le Pen running for president, was Le Pen?! www.economist.com/leaders/2025...

A liberal judge won a seat on Wisconsin's Supreme Court, despite a historic spending binge by Elon Musk to flip control of the court to conservatives

His daily spewing of vitriolic ideology aside, he’s also just a shockingly bad orator?!

My personal number being added to a WhatsApp “project group” (with no prior notice or permission) that proceeded to ping evenings and weekends was a push too far for me; I muted and archived the chat.

I don’t understand why: “humans won’t be needed for most things” is even aspirational. Humans want to be needed, searching for purpose and meaning is the most human endeavor of them all…

"What surprises me most is how the political press generally fails to inform the public that Musk is taking a systematic approach, one that has been outlined in public forums for years." @gilduran.com TheNerdReich www.thenerdreich.com/reboot-elon-...

The “fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy” guy doesn’t seem to clock irony. Meanwhile he’s been running around stage with a chainsaw hell bent on destroying social security.

Continually taken aback by the lack of reading comprehension I encounter on a daily basis. Not sure if it’s ‘rush culture’ and people just aren’t paying enough attention, or if it’s a more worrying general decline of basic skills 🫤

You truly could not make it up. You could not.

We’re living in such upside down times. It’s so twisted that I’m struggling to comprehend it - but essentially it feels as if all the values we are taught to uphold in society; honesty, integrity, competency and accountability, no longer apply.

There’s only one playlist for times like these, sometimes you’ve just got to lean in to the woe ya know? open.spotify.com/playlist/79r...

LET'S FUCKING GO

Have just learnt about Peter Thiel’s ideology of “Techno Feudalism” and I am horrified. I’ve long believed there should be enforceable regulation against tech monopolies, but this particular dystopia is worse than anything I had imagined.

Dictator shit

A judge blocked it, they did it anyway - seems like defying a court order to me.This is horrifying. Where is the outrage?! www.forbes.com/sites/alison...

Why?! He’s operating in such a cartoonishly evil way, it’s almost unbelievable.

“Everything’s computer” - I despise him, but even I have to admit, this much is true.

Get in loser, we're tanking the economy

US added to international watchlist for rapid decline in civic freedoms www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Happy International Women's Day to this classic banger

You know sometimes I save stuff to my memes folder and am like "who am I kidding I'm never gonna have an opportunity to use this where it makes sense" but lo

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

Trump to Zelenskyy: "Your country is in big trouble. You've done a lot of talking. You're not winning this."

I find it unnerving and horrifying that world leaders are all fawning and bending the knee to the orange maniac, whilst he systematically destroys decent society and democracy as we know it.

oh no!

he is so swagless he has somehow achieved negative drip. this image is like a vortex, i can feel the swag being drained from my own body as i view this

Some don’t even realize they’re actually eating all the faces.

Will NO ONE stop him?! 🤡 coup

The State Department has fired about 60 contractors who work for its democracy, human rights and labor bureau, a division whose programs have often been criticized by authoritarian leaders, according to two U.S. officials and two former officials.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

I am resting in the knowledge that the next Adam Curtis documentary is going to be a banger

"First, they fascinate the fools. Then, they muzzle the intelligent." - Bertrand Russell

Benjamin Franklin was wrong, there are actually three certainties in life; death, taxes and WEIRD MEN.

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire

This is very “don't look up” coded. It’s hard not to feel deflated when there’s an oligarch trio waiting in the wings.

Big week for me legally releasing some of the hate in my heart ☺️ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Went for Thai food at Chiang Mai on the Danforth last night and along with a delicious Penang, they also served back to back joyful BANGERS, some examples of which are: “I am what I am”, “it’s raining men”, “ time warp”, “take a chance on me”. I could not have been happier 😀

This is a pretty good section
