People need to realise the"Labour Party" as it was or as yer da remembers it through rose tinted glasses is functionally dead. It's been coopted by these hateful neolib company suits. It's Tory Lite now and all the holding your nose and crossing your fingers and wishing real hard won't change that.
The Sun has been told Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will on Monday propose confiscating jewellery, watches, necklaces from asylum seekers to meet asylum costs
This reflects the most controversial aspect of the Danish scheme - the Jewellery Law. The toughest Labour MPs thought this was OTT

ANYONE leaving MAGA at this point, is only upset about one thing...and they were okay with ALL THE REST.
Or, they're using one thing to bail on someone who's 'not harming the right people!!!!' meaning leopards ate their face.
They still want the evils they voted for.

we all joke about Woke Bill Kristol but he is for the most part the perfect example - he has, legitimately, become much more progressive
you can’t bring in people who are mad he’s not delivering on horrible shit

Had a really good time with Predator: Badlands! As the friend I went with observed, it's very much a buddy film but that's not to its detriment. I went in knowing what kind of story it was telling, but I was still surprised (pleasantly) by certain emotional beats and how they were delivered.

136) THORGAL is the best S&S comic you haven't read.
Okay, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but the point is that there is a TON of Sword & Sorcery comics above and beyond Conan, and the Franco-Belgian tradition in particular is very strong, with strong "Prince Valiant, but insane" vibes.

Hi all,
I need to ask for help again. I have some longer-term goals to work toward paying off, and if I want to keep my website active, it's definitely going to be hard to make rent this month. We'd be grateful for any shares and donations. Thank you all so much. ❤️
