Hope everyone in the UK remembers what Elon Musk is doing to the US government the next time Domminic Cummings writes a 30,000 word blog post on his plan to replace all the "NPCs" in Whitehall with 19 year old Nazi superforecasters.

Has Tesco Express in Bristol city centre taken inspiration from the game 'finding the toilets at Wetherspoons'? If I'd walked into any more random corners I'd probably have found it was snowing.

People are getting pretty squeamish about endorsing or encouraging violence towards Musk and/or Trump and tbh I think you probably have to get over that because this is very much a Nazis Are Here Now situation.

We could just be reading great books, watching good movies, and eating fruit. Instead we have to survive/fight miserable power hoarders. What a waste of limited time.

it has been said before but one problem is that when some people say 'the economy' they're talking about poor people affording food and housing, & when some other people say 'the economy' they're referring to a chart of how happy rich people are

This is what GB News is inciting its viewers to do. And this is why Ofcom must not be allowed to ignore it mainstreaming its hate into Britain's bloodstream. metro.co.uk/2025/02/11/m...

Becoming homeless due to Russian air strikes - bad & sad, you may come and stay. Becoming homeless due to Israeli air strikes - you brought it on yourself, clear off. We are witnessing a grotesque spectacle at the moment www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I love that 80% of the responses are about it being the world's biggest crime scene. (And yes, the other 20% are about Chiles being an unfathomable dullard.)

You know, if we're into running the country like a company, then UBI isn't a "handout," it's a payout to shareholders.

One of the many offensive things in politics - and it's under both Tories/Labour - is MPs sacked as ministers for offensive conduct but remain MPs. Labour are still happy for this man to represent them but not people challenging poverty. Speaks volumes. www.bbc.com/news/article...

What this piece lets out of the bag is, whatever is driving the far/right's hatred of trans people it is absolutely, positively not a desire to protect women from sexual violence. They are happy to celebrate a perpetrator of sexual violence, so long as he shares their hatred of trans people.
