I mean yeah it's cool that TVs are cheaper, but I only need one TV and I need to pay rent every month.

For reference, my rent is approximately 1.6 samsung 50" tvs per day
A screenshot from facebook marketplace shows 6 TVs ranging in price from £10 to £60

Iconic twitter exchange from 2021. @carcassofalion says "you are literally Dutch" and Roland Gerritsen van Der Hoop (no, really) responds "originally, yes. That matters how?" Carcassofalion then states the immortal line "A ridiculous, fake language and culture. Send me your cranial measurements you old Yakubian ape I must study you for science"

I really didn't think that'd be enough to catch a block, classic East Virginian
Bjkeefe writes "oh, stop. There is no country that has a spotless record, that has any kind of global clout. And to say that no one has held the US accountable is an even bigger crock. Mindless America-bashing. Simplistic and juvenile as all hell" I am confident that it isn't ai because at least chatgpt can structure a sentence

The real casualty of all the Charlie Kirk stuff is this meme, which is now grounds for arrest and being burned at the stake throughout the west
In a scene from Fury, Brad Pitt picks out an officer from a line of surrendering Nazis. Standing in a tank's hatch, he points him out and says the immortal words "shoot that guy"

Ancient meme from club penguin, wherein the penguin is sitting in a call centre as a 911 operator - in the first frame it asks "what do you mean you're being murdered" and I'm the second "that's illegal people can't do that"

Apparently different states have different dates for daylight savings (fuckin country needs balkanised) but time.is has the confirmation, nearly 1.5h left 😔
Screencap of time.is showing that the time in DC at time of screenshot was 12:33

how's that current electoral system going now?
Map from Election2029.uk, showing a projection of the next GE based on YouGov polling from June. Most of England and Wales is a sea of light blue reflecting their 271 projected seats, while Labour trails in distant second with 178.

Hell yeah welcome to the party
A tweet from Seb Payne reads "☭ Communism is back" There's some other shit written there too but I cropped that out

fuckin hell it's gone up by 9b just since they posted the skeet! The article linked is already calling it £50b!

Folks we're gonna have to sell so many fuckin allotments
Today's article, the one linked in the post I quoted above, now reads "Rachel Reeves faces 'impossible trilemma' and must raise taxes or cut spending to plug £50bn black hole"

But I thought they fixed the black hole with tax raises and spending cuts a few months ago? It seems to have gotten bigger?

CURIOUS
A screenshot from another Independent article dated 16/10/24 about Reeves' plans to plug a £22b black hole scarcely 9 months ago

What an oddly specific objection to have as a disinterested third party - tbf he probably gets this a lot (screenshot in case of block)
Snippet of quoted tweet from @jimmysmashyeahyeah.bsky.social. it reads "She's absolutely ridiculous. She says ACAB over and over again but still runs to the police (wasting their time) when she thinks she has a stalker (ie. some guy she's never met who's seen her gobbing off on the internet in the past and posts a screenshot of a few old tweets to wind her up)" The account is labeled as a TERF.

Destroy Rhodesia's army and what will you have? Dead honkies. It's white genocide in action, people!

(Screenshot added for inevitable block, there are 5 replies at time of posting and none are visible lol)
Screenshot of quoted post from "Comms Guy Matt", who doesn't seem to be great at his job. It reads "Destroy Israel's army. And what will you have? Dead Jews." There are 5 replies but all are hidden, presumably he's blocking left right and centre rn. There are also 0 likes.

A snippet from a heavily memed scene in Mad Men, in the top panel of which Peggy objects that Don never thanks her for her work and he shouts in the bottom panel "that's what the money is for!" In this use, Peggy's line is replaced with Rayner's "no one battling mental illness should have to face extra stress and worry over their job security" and Don's reply is altered to exclaim "that's what the benefits are for!" In writing this alt text I have lost confidence in the quality of the joke, but fuck it sunk cost fallacy etc

That's a wrap! 3.5 years and gallons apiece of blood, sweat and tears later I'm retiring, with Leith branch (best branch don't even try to argue) stronger and more dynamic than it's ever been. 🥹
A group photo of the 80+ members who came to Living Rent Leith's branch AGM - they are gathered at the front of a fucntion room, crowded onto and in front of the stage. A banner at the front reads "Scotland needs proper rent controls" (any minute now!) and another at the back should read "Homes for people, not for profit" but it's a bit illegible because the light is on it.

A screenshot of my own post from earlier, reading "Speaking as someone who was born and raised in the ruins of one of those effective social democracies, nah. Social democracy was a tenuous system, capitalism making concessions to hold back socialist power, and it started to rot into neoliberalism pretty promptly as the threat of overthrow declined." "the ruins of" has been crudely circled to emphasise the crucial part this guy missed

@benmacpherson.bsky.social may just have the @ squatted and isn't actually using Bluesky (boo) but this from him on Twitter is exactly the energy we want from our representatives
Ben Macpherson MSP is quoting a post from The Herald, which reads "£80m of student housing halted over rent caps ‘nervousness’ ⛔" followed by a link to the article. His reply reads "Good - there’s too much PBSA already in urban constituencies like mine & the land could be used for much better purposes."

Screenshot for context, and if anyone who knows my apparently fairly thin-skinned representative is seeing this can you let her know that replying+blocking is pointless on bluesky, nobody viewing my side of the interaction can see her reply and nobody on her side can see what she's responding to.
The wretched dogshit opinion in question from Tracy Gilbert MP links to the BBC article about today's terf-ass supreme court judgment and reads "an important judgment for the rights of women and girls in single sex spaces and services. Thank you For Woman Scotland"

I'd be flattered by their obsession if I wasn't so genuinely concerned for their mental health - is anyone else getting this?
Screenshot from the vital Listifications bot, showing that @spoont51 (the r-slur NAFO guy from earlier this week) has blocked and I blocked me 5 times since first crashing out, as well as adding me to the "a bunch of spoiled children's list" [sic] list. The timestamps show this taking place spread throughout the day, ranging from 4am to lunchtime through the evening to 11pm at various points.

Weird lie when your post using the word (for which you were automatically added to the list of pathetic little dorks who do) is still publicly available
Post from this same blue-maga weirdo stating (cw for the inclusion of the slur he uses): "Oh really and I hate douche bags that put me on a list like you. I guess you don’t understand what a Democrat is. So let me tell you something with one. I am not a blue maga what are you retarded? You don’t know what a democrat is you think maybe when I put it on there it was for the fun of it."

I'm sure this is unrelated, none of us here could have predicted this

Snippet from the linked article reading: "Under the reforms, PIP would be denied to many people with mental health conditions, while others with some physical and psychiatric conditions would see their benefits reduced to a lower level, according to people briefed on the plans."

It's so over - the US has lost the Mandate of AEBI 😔
Image shows the Evil Index published by the America Eagle Burger Institute, showing Cuba's Evil level spiking upon becoming gommunis [sic]. Some experts have questioned the legitimacy of this data, citing the lack of scale presented on the chart, the nonexistence of AEBI and the fact that it is crudely drawn in paint.
