RE: #StarfleetAcademy episode 5. If you're pissed off that [REDACTED] is now in a [REDACTED] (or at least partially [REDACTED]) [REDACTED] eight hundred years after we last saw them, then congratulations! You're managing to be racist about a species that doesn't even fucking exist! AMAZING!

People are bitching about how Kid Rock might have been lip-synching? That's like going to a restaurant that exclusively serves human faeces and leaving a TripAdvisor review complaining about dirty cutlery.

Gay was the easiest thing to explain to my son. I was literally just “sometimes two men or two women fall in love.” “Ok, cool. What’s a war?”
always so funny to me when people are like “how am I supposed to explain Gay to my kids?” my kid asks me way harder shit all the time. “why did they build the road this way? why are some people bad?” I don’t know. please ask me about Gay

This is my thing - FR is absolutely right about how ludicrous it is anyone can claim Starmer shouldn't be disliked post-Mandelson, but Rachman is saying he finds it distasteful to be vitriolic against *a literal enabler of fucking genocide*.
And this is only the Mandelson stuff mind; it doesn’t include e.g. letting the Americans fly a fuckton of weapons of genocide through our airbases; proscribing protest groups as terrorists to shield your involvement in war crimes, or vexatiously arresting hundreds of protesters for the same reason.

If we’d learned in 2018 that e.g. Seumas Milne was passing privileged government info to a secret network of influence-peddling sex offenders led by the world’s most notorious nonce - do you think the lads would struggle to understand why that had grave implications, far beyond Milne’s office?
I mean: this summary of how fucked it is does not even touch the sides of just how bad it is.

This is not a minor issue! It’s the heart and soul of the project going back decades and here it is, constructing webs of influence with billionaire sex offenders, sharing secret government info, hounding and bullying people who aren’t corrupted and replacing them with pod-people.

If you want an example of an alien organism infecting the body politic with a deadly corrupting virus, then it is IMO absolutely farcical, comical, to have chosen Old Jezza when vicious, spirit-crushing, billionaire chasing crooks like Peter and his psycho mates are available.

Lewis does make some good points here, but look: Mandelson is not just some guy here. He has been at the core of the Labour right for decades; he was clearly right in the middle of McSweeney’s project all along, both the secret wrecking campaign and after; he was *literally picking candidates*.

NGL, Neil Buchanan selling the concept of Art Attack for a Bond villain amount of money then just going on tour playing guitar in his metal band as he never has to work another day in his life is the most relatable thing any celebrity has ever done. Absolute king shit. 👑
As a British child of the early '90s I shouldn't rightfully feel this joyful so soon after losing John Virgo. But, uh, let it be known that Müller Corner yoghurts have got out Neil Buchanan for a Big Art Attack 🙌🏻🖌️

You know who else planned under the assumption of holding power for centuroh what's the point, we all know they're fucking Nazis, it's just a question of whether you like that fact or not.
The Heritage Foundation has released a 250-year roadmap to “save America.”
The document is a how-to guide for subjugating girls & young women: a detailed plan to push them out of college, funnel them into early marriage and motherhood, and then trap them there.

A good reminder from @billybragg.bsky.social about what Starmer once pretended to be - always worth remembering he threw this all away and managed to get fewer votes than Corbyn

You can tell when a horror writer hasn't had a dog, because they use Rover refusing to go someplace as a sign something is amiss, as opposed to the dog just being a dick for no reason.

Late to The Silo, but eight episodes in and really digging it. It feels like the whole thing would ground to a halt if the cops were capable of doing their jobs but... *gestures wildly around himself*

MIRACLE MILE was always a “what if?” premise. What if you were the one who picked up the phone? What would you do? With a single call, De Jarnatt destroys all delusions of MIRACLE MILE being a simple rom-com and transforms it into something much more sinister. www.patreon.com/posts/scream...

Publishing himself declaring that Israel is guilty of war crimes is a particularly interesting choice.
Cool how Streeting has published all the texts that show him having cool and progressive opinions. I'm sure that's all of them and no more will come to light later that he's trying to get ahead of.
