We genuinely haven't even BEGUN to start to initiate a proper investigation of all the war crimes UK special forces have been accused of and already they're in "immunity now" mode
Treasonous human rights laws mean special forces now can’t even murder scads of civilians in a series of bloodcurdling war crimes and lie about what they’ve done while the government covers it up, without facing a lot of impertinent questions

Look, we are NOT saying Wes Streeting is plotting on our Discord but if he WAS plotting he wouldn't be because he's loyal to the leadership even though with his dead little eyes and lack of any morals he'd be a great candidate, but he is NOT the mod for #dagger-chat-cool-MPs-only, ok?!

It is lovely that Nebula is AI-free as well as ad-free tbh. It’s like YouTube but good.
Completely AI-free and devoid of slop, I think we've managed to build a platform which very much *isn't* designed to keep you swiping and scrolling, but wants you to find something you actually want to watch as fast as possible.
Which I guess is the ultimate side benefit of being ad free.

It’s not moonshine its “unaged bourbon” it’s not being a hobo with seasonal employment it’s “van life” that’s not a trailer it’s a “tiny home” it’s not piecework it’s the “gig economy” - culture is the thin wedge to make survival strategies of the poor sound like fun fads

the severe lack of compassion and empathy globally for chronic illness is actually truly horrific. people do not want to look sickness and vulnerability in the face so they resort to neglect and denial and it is a disease in itself. sickness isn’t weakness but that shit sure is.

People did warn me when I was younger to pursue high-paying fields, and I always shrugged them off. I thought, “I’m not a materialistic person, I don’t want to live in luxury—I’ll be fine making a modest salary. Money’s not important to me.”
Turns out you need a shitload of money just to be broke.

on one hand, headfirst slide into cooperstown on a bad bet comes from the album that nearly destroyed fall out boy. on the other, the sheer venom in Patrick Stump’s voice in the final “does your husband know” refrain adds something that’s absolutely incredible to the song.
