Unless you have something specific to share or inform me about, can I ask that you avoid DM. I will happily respond to public replies.
If you message me with “Hi. How are you?” Or something. Unless I do know you - it will be an automatic block.

Reform UK claiming that they are “A New Hope” using Star Wars Imagery. I think using the same imagery and the Law of Diminishing Returns, they’re more like “The Phantom Menace”.

I don’t know if I watched the same video as this guy is going on about, but the one I watched wasn’t him having a pop at middle class white men, but having a go at racists.
As a middle class white man, I couldn’t disagree with a word the middle class white man said.

It’ll be interesting hearing Reform refer to themselves as just a fringe group for the next few days as they try to ridicule Labour’s “fight back” against them.

Actually, Taylor Swift did a seance and brought the actual George Michael back to perform a song totally unrelated to the original George Michael song “Father Figure” In everything other than the name…..
It was probably a sample. 🙄

The way to win against reactionism isn’t to become engage in equal levels of conspiratorial bullshit.
The murder/assassination of Charlie Kirk was live streamed to the entire world. They aren’t “hiding” anything about how he died.

The reason they’re saying that Tylenol causes autism and not that Paracetamol causes autism is that Tylenol is a brand. They want you to still take paracetamol, just a brand that will make THEM money.

A taxi driver told me that Nigel Farage once asked him to stop by a park so that he could find some dog shit to eat on the rest of the journey.

98% of people who had a bad day at work today ate cereal this morning. Breakfast is therefore responsible for people having bad days at work.

You should all go out and buy Piers Morgan “Woke is Dead”. Trust me, you’ll all thank me when the reactionaries that he’s pandering to create another toilet paper shortage you can use his book as a replacement.
