"I told all of your colleagues, those clown comics, to fix their hearts or die."
I sent an email to John Grady (Labour) about the Supreme Court ruling a few weeks ago. He did not respond until yesterday, after I sent him a follow up, where he didn't specifically answer a single question I posed and talked about 'both sides' in this 'polarised debate'.

Spineless!

i do commend whoever wrote it because it sums up everything that is actually threatening about AI. Its a self lobotomization tool. You might as well ask “why think?”
Gonna be real with you, this feels like an advertisement for spiritual death

Needless cruelty!! Evil, petty and nasty!

Don't vote Labour! Don't let them march at Pride!

By refusing to fight, they continue to cede ground to the right. They're letting them win their rhetorical battle.
Asked if Keir Starmer still believes that a trans woman is a woman, his spokesman replies "no".

Says that trans women must now use men's bathrooms

That so many of you carry on posting on X encapsulates the problem with authoritarianism. Many people hate it but aren't prepared to make even the tiniest personal sacrifice to oppose it [like foregoing the fun of shitposting on the authoritarian propaganda website].

Wonder if the press will report on the protests

They always seem more than happy to cover those tiny TERF protests

getting a bit tiring to think "ah yay, the worst people you know are having a great day" several times a week, every single week

I don’t really give a shit how much of a conservative this makes me sound like, but the United States has suffered an existential collapse in the civic virtue of our citizens necessary to sustain a liberal democracy.

i miss the early internet. people were like “you gotta see this dude. this cat sure is long.” and they were right. it was really long. it never shoulda gotten any more complicated than that.

A new interesting dimension of the hellscape we're inhabiting that I've noticed is young children wearing AI slop graphic t-shirts.

I hate it.

My social media footprint has been weakening recently (work is tiring), but came here to update that I passed my probation last week :)

I know the world is going crazy right now but it's *still* insane how little anyone seems to be talking about Serbia.

Insane demonstrations, smoke grenades in parliament, student-led democratic movements. While the world seems to be sliding backwards, Serbia could be on the brink of something new.

Started a new tiktok account out of curiosity.

Countless videos about white people "disappearing" in the UK, Nigel Farage shutting down "pro-immigrant woke people" and AI videos about immigrants.

You could easily be convinced the country is ending if you watched this slop every hour of your life.

All of this shit is gonna age so badly when Musk inevitably triggers a financial meltdown in America as state services and basic infrastructure start failing
BREAKING: Scottish Labour have pledged to create an Elon Musk-style 'Doge' to find public spending cuts.

It comes just days after the Scottish Tories announced the same idea

enjoy this rhetoric, Starmer could learn something about attacking and calling out his opponents from davey
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.

There is so little coverage on the Serbian protests in western media it's insane
