The Government and massive corporations cooperating to provide free breakfasts might feed some hungry kids, but the fact this is even necessary should be a perfect indicator to anyone that things are deeply fucked.

Not quite sure why the media is presenting the Caerphilly result as a disaster for Labour, rather than as a perfect execution of its electoral strategy.

That strategy for *months* now has been to tell everybody who might otherwise be inclined to vote for them to fuck off.

And off they have fucked.

TF can be a bit hit and miss, but an excellent summation of why this whole AI bubble is bollocks. And why it's going to crash the economy. Again.

The centrist fascism of the current UK/English government is not a new thing. Oswald Mosley was the darling of the Labour Party and an elected Labour MP. Is this what Starmer means by reflecting core Labour values?

I know @bsky bluesky is relatively new, but clicking "show less like this" seems to result in more like that. I really could not give less of a fuck about Taylor Swifts new album or large titted anime characters.

Re-watching The Expanse again. Such a brilliant series. As well as respecting the physics of space travel, they also use the metric system. The future is bright...

A point made beautifully by the very talented @thatnatt.bsky.social in his Sir Ian Bowler MP character

Do these ICE goons know they're goons? Do they know in their shrivelled hearts they can't be heroic so decide to be the bad guys that get knocked out instead? Is there any conscious consideration that goes into them becoming a henchperson? Human empathy voids, all of them.

Very sad to hear of the passing of Danny Thompson. A true legend.

Slightly scared to like anything on here. As soon as I do, all I get in my feed is more of the same. Algorithms don't like variety.

This whole small modular reactors thing just honks of the same shite as large reactors. Huge government grants and massive overspend. Also, totally unnecessary.

I think Joe Rogan is truly one of the most detestable, sycophantic, meat-headed dolts to draw breath. This was really very entertaining.

If U.S Democrats genuinely want to see some sort of change, they should be staying the fuck away from that Newsom guy.

It's worth just taking a pause every so often to reflect on just how deeply bizarre this recent obsession with other peoples genitals is.

The phrase,"The banality of evil" from the title of Hannah Arendt's book, which i haven't read, is quite chilling in its own right. Dull beaurocrats and small, inadequate, dull men doing horrific things. For most of my life it felt like something from the past.

Buddhist rappers. Is that a thing? That should definitely be a thing. Bragging about the poor quality of the very few material objects they possess and how they negotiated peacefully with rival gangs.

Inhumanity is not a position. It is not an ideology to be debated, or where there are "sides" to be discussed.
