It turns out that if you scream and stomp everyone out of your organisation except those slavishly dedicated to pushing a right wing agenda, not only will it not stop the right wing coming for you, you also don't have anyone left who knows how to do anything except "give them what they want."

No more noble British tradition than resigning over some nonsense everyone is only pretending to be angry about rather than all of the actually bad things you've done.

Who'd have thought that trying to cater a completely useless product to *literally everyone* might not be a sustainable business model.
Funko admits “substantial doubt” it can continue as a going concern amid crashing sales and mounting debt.
The Pop! maker warns of potential loan defaults without fresh funding or a buyout, after a 14% sales drop and $250M in obligations.

My son wants to recognise Remembrance by playing the brutally unforgiving WW2/PTSD simulator, Hell Let Loose at the stroke of 11, and I can't decide if that's darkly hilarious, horrifically disrespectful, or actually somewhat profound and thought-provoking. Or possibly a bit of all three.

What I find baffling is that consecutive governments have forefronted an issue that they know they can never "solve" and can only ever lose their grip on, inevitably ceding the narrative to far-right anti-immigration politicians, and never tried to either change that narrative or that focus.
This is what they’ll tell themselves alright, because it’ll be more convenient than admitting that they’ve fucked it by relentlessly attacking their own supporters until there’s nobody left who likes them or wants what they’re selling.

Pure distilled essence of 1979-2025, here. I’m loaded and loving it but somehow I can never shake this mortal terror that somewhere, some poor wanker might be eating a free cheese sandwich.

Generally speaking I let the yoof have their ways and their words without my input, but I'll be damned if I'll accept "crashing out" to mean anything other than "falling asleep quickly".

This is full-blown, completely unabashed and unambiguous ‘Protocols of the Elders of Karbala’ shit, and the fact that behaviour and rhetoric like this is treated as normal and legitimate by large segments of American and western culture more broadly is fucking glaring, disgusting and pitiful stain.
Jfc. Her islamophobia is off the charts. One of her Insta stories is a Londoner talking about Sadiq Khan imposing no-go zones and sharia courts in London.

Centrists who react to Nazis gaining ground with "we should try to reach out to them more" and react to socialists gaining ground with incandescent rage and tutting about populism are letting you know that their "centre" exists somewhere off beside Augusto Pinochet

Seeing British centrists celebrate what happened in the USA last night and pretending they wouldn't have all been cheering for Cuomo is pretty funny stuff.

Interesting that the judge notes that it is a "political belief" Robinson holds and then proceeds to call it a "protected characteristic". Even though political beliefs are not in fact protected characteristics under the Equality Act – only philosophical ones are. Somewhat gives the game away.
I suppose it was only a matter of time, once judges decided that transphobia was protected under the Equality Act, before they decided that full blown fascism was (www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crim...).

Can’t stop thinking about all the robber baron fucks that held secret meetings and spent MILLIONS AND MILLIONS in bribes and campaign investments and attack ads and media manipulation trying to tank Mamdani currently having the dawning realization that their money is completely and utterly useless.
