Let’s be fair, it’s also a platform for creating, distributing and selling child sexual abuse material.

We remain remarkably, dangerously ignorant of such histories, treating every event as if it came out of the blue. Again and again our governments wade in, with their bombs and missiles and special forces, and congratulate themselves on their strategic brilliance, only to create further crisis.

If we want a stable, secure, peaceful world, our governments should support democracy and self-determination everywhere, whether or not they agree with what the people want. Instead, for centuries, they have attacked democracy and self-rule, and we all live with the consequences.

Francois Hollande: I had the growth and stability pact constraining me
George Papandreou: I was constrained by the Troika
Olaf Scholz: I was constrained by the FDP
Morgan McSweeney: I was constrained by not wanting to admit that the 2024 election strategy might have had some flaws

A fascinating bit of convergent evolution that the McSweeney-Starmer project has basically ended up leaving Labour in the same position as its Western European peers…as a result of deliberate, wholly avoidable choices.

I’m old enough to remember when the cost of living was lower when Arsenal was under Wenger.

How far this economy has fallen under the inspiration of Arteta.

Because our commentators don't want to face up to the fact that if you can do this with ILR, you can do it with citizenship.

"trans/pronouns arent a table top issue"

I want healthcare, education, housing and employment! I want a right to dignity, privacy and civility! These are 'table top' issues and politicians are the out of touch people ever, not trans people!!!

I really need people who think AI could usher in a golden age of luxury space communism some day to get that the only thing keeping elites from trying to kill all of us is the fact they need our labor and if that ever goes away stuff's gonna go sideways fast

William Blake’s illustration for β€œThe Tyger” has what appears to be a dippy grin for some reason.

The wonderful thing about Tyggers
Is Tyggers are burning bright
Their tops are made out of rubber
In the forest of the night

What bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy,
Immortal hand or eye
Did frame the most wonderful thing about Tyggers,
Their fearful symmetry!

slavery is one of the rare things historically where the more you learn about it the more you realize your initial assessment was correct and it was in fact one of the most evil things ever to occur

The President and the Min of Defence have acknowledged that an instruction was given "to all parties concerned" for Iran to downgrade to Observer status. Instructions were given, they were not followed. Now you're attempting to shift blame.

Trump is just a symptom of our having created a completely untouchable class of billionaire overlords. If we do not eliminate obscene wealth, the world will continue to be at their mercy.
