This guy is a performative sadist. The fact that he is where he is, is a truly terrible measure of how bad the judgement is of everyone around him.

I'm joking, sorry, in the '20s it would be a Figma board and a group conference call:
"Can everyone follow me please?"
"We're now going to have 5 minutes solo thinking time, do people want ambient or lo-fi hip hop as the music?"
"Can whoever's deleted the Home Office put it back please?

If you change channels or inputs on the TV and it is suddenly super loud then telling the person with the remote to lower the volume in this moment is unhelpful.
We are already trying to lower the volume, you are hindering the act of lowering the volume by making it more stressful..

Congress died the moment they allowed 147 insurrectionists to remain in office instead of expelling them and charging them with sedition. That’s just my opinion.

Plastic bag recycling bin it converses with a man
![Cartoon by Stephen Collins for the Guardian, here's the script:
[Scene is outside a SUPERMARKET with a SOFT PLASTICS RECYCLING BIN out the front. A MAN is approaching the bin with a bunch of plastic bags.]
1
BIN [the bin is a talking bin]:
Hello sir
MAN:
Hi
2
MAN:
Will you recycle these plastic bags please?
3
BIN:
Well, I am a green bin!
4
MAN:
And you’ll recycle them?
BIN:
Well, I do have a recycling logo on me!
5
MAN:
Will you recycle all of them?
BIN:
Well, I will recycle some of your bags!
6
MAN:
Will you recycle them.
BIN:
Well, I won't burn all of them Turkey!
7
MAN:
That sounds like something you'd say if you were going to burn most of them in Turkey
8
BIN:
I will recycle most of them in Turkey!
MAN:
Into what
BIN:
Energy!
9
MAN:
Does that mean burning them in Turkey
BIN:
NOW LOOK HERE
10
[The BIN has now sprouted ARMS and has aggressively grabbed the MAN by the shirt, pulling his face close]
BIN:
You're going to put them BAGS in my SLOT, right
MAN:
Oh my God you’ve got arms
11
BIN:
Your gonna put them bags in my slot…
You're gonna feel good about it…
Then you're gonna go in that supermarket and SHOP.
12
BIN:
Understood?
MAN:
How did you get arms](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4m3we4apbjayclzcnhwe3pfp/bafkreihswcus3pthx5beoiq4m5c7fknrdn43t7b6q2sen2fuy3asftyknq@jpeg)

Coverage of idiots claiming ‘betrayal’ or ‘surrender’ isn’t just bad journalism, it’s a dereliction of our duty to explain things. I’d actually forgotten just how bad it got but here we are, straight back to treating liars & spivs like authorities of equal weight to experts & honest brokers.

[Scene is a suburban house. We hear a conversation coming from inside it, with the voice of the MAN who owns the house]
1
MAN:
…You only installed it two years ago!
2
[Interior scene now, we can see the MAN is talking to the GLAZIER who has come to inspect a very oddly-placed window in the man’s wall]
GLAZIER:
Yeah I can see there’s been a bit of movement in the casing…
3
MAN:
A bit of *movement in the casing*?
4
MAN:
It used to be in the bloody middle!
[The window, we see, is strangely positioned right next to the wall]
5
GLAZIER:
Well, you went for the budget line mate.
MAN:
What?
6
MAN:
Your budget windows *move across the wall*?
GLAZIER:
If you get comfortable with fascism, yeah.
MAN:
*What*?
7
GLAZIER:
Look mate, we told you up front:
Premium triple-glazed, Standard UPVC, and our budget line: ‘Overton’.
8
GLAZIER:
Which can move to the left or right depending on the political acceptability of fringe views at any given time.

MAN:
And what’ll it cost to put it back?
GLAZIER:
Pffff

I’m one of those dodgy immigrants who came here on a spouse visa and got indefinite leave to remain after 12 months.
The incalculable harm I have done to the UK includes dedicating my life to public service, educating thousands of British young people, and paying more tax than I’ll ever get back.

The Prime Minister imitating Enoch Powell’s ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech is sickening.
That speech fuelled decades of racism and division. Echoing it today is a disgrace. It adds to anti-migrant rhetoric that puts lives at risk.
Shame on you, Keir Starmer.

Happy St George' Day!
![Cartoon for St George's day by Stephen Collins for the guardian. Script as follows:
Scene is outside a cave, ST GEORGE in armour etc is confronting the DRAGON while the CAPTURED PRINCESS looks on.
DRAGON:
So let me get this straight.
DRAGON:
You’re hoping to reinforce ‘helpless princess’ tropes…
DRAGON:
By publicly stabbing an *endangered animal* to death with a *sword*…
DRAGON:
So you can force a whole Syrian village to convert to Christianity….
DRAGON:
And become a nationalist icon for a colonial state…
DRAGON:
Through the cultural appropriation of ancient medieval dragon myths.
DRAGON:
You’ve not been *online* very long, have you?
GEORGE:
I have been quite surprised by the comments.
GEORGE’S SOCIAL MEDIA ASSISTANT [who is filming this encounter on an iPhone]:
I told you it’s problematic, George.
DRAGON:
Problematic? It’s a *bin fire*!
DRAGON:
OK. Here’s how you turn this round -
CUT TO a YoutTube post called ‘MY JOURNEY (An apology)’. GEORGE is crying to camera, Dragon in background.
GEORGE:
I am *so sorry* guys…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4m3we4apbjayclzcnhwe3pfp/bafkreihzpskp6p4u4ejrjhmp4tdye2rzg75vmbyxbn45o5g4xk7dpairge@jpeg)
