it is incredibly fucked up that the UK government and police consider it a much worse crime to wear a t-shirt or wave a placard with 'palestine action' on it than to block ports and attack lifeboats

These fascists will turn around and in the next breath tell everyone their policy of excluding and harming trans people is because they want to “protect women”.

14 million souls ended in a single year by Elon Musk's cruelty and stupidity Here are some of the comparisons: Rwandan genocide: 800k dead Cambodian genocide: 3 million dead The Holocaust: 7 million dead

A few facts about Water Nationalisation. 1. We don't need to pay for it. 2. We don't need to pay THEIR debts. 3. They don't invest anything, that is YOUR money that they steal almost all of, then the tiny bit they don't is 'investment'. Freeze bills, fine them. Nationalise for free.

That stupid idea of a $100M historically accurate version of the Odyssey sounds great to me. Let's find some cool old Greek man, have him sit in a chiton, and just read the whole epic poem. Cover equipment costs, and split the remaining fee equally with the cast (him) and crew (cameraman and editor)

It sounds like a lie but like 30 years ago if you fucked up hard enough in the public eye you were expected to fuck off forever.

The fact Labour would rather enable the racist illiberal right if it means locking the liberal anti-racist left out certainly clarifies the type of party Labour is for anyone who might still be unsure

Purple Electric@purpleelectric.bsky.social

Well, this sure as hell needs to be more widely known. "The Labour Party leadership has caused uproar by banning its councillors from doing local deals with the Green Party." This is forcing Labour councillors to do deals with Tories. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

For most stuff, like Trump, I think you could bring someone from the '80s to 2026 and they'd be like "yeah, I can see how you'd end up here if you made every single mistake" but Sam Altman is a fucking anomaly. He's witless, obnoxious, grotesque; why even our sick society tolerates him is a mystery.

This is an insane deal, with books released in the last few weeks being made available. I guess I'm lucky (/guilty) for not buying them until payday hit today.

i'm going to be very real: how are you supposed to try to be normal right now. we have fascists trying to Become Columbine every week, ICE is just straight up the gestapo now, the economy is crashing and the only thing keeping it afloat is AI. i am so tired. i am so fucking tired.

People on the Right claiming the Kirk murder is an “American Reichstag fire” that justifies a massive crackdown on their political enemies is really remarkable, if you think it through: In this analogy, they are actively and affirmatively taking the side of the Nazis in 1933.

Remember when the last Wolfenstein came out, and Bethesda had devs joking in promos: "There's a lot you can do with a hatchet and nazi?" Now Indiana Jones can't fight fascists. That's a pretty decent measuring stick for what's happened to our society and discourse.

pcgamesn.comBethesda deletes Indiana Jones and the Great Circle "fascist" clip after accusations that it mocks Charlie KirkBethesda's now-deleted X post appears to have been part of a wider social media push for the new Indiana Jones and the Great Circle DLC.

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

They're all cruel hateful cunts but I don't know if they sincerely believe in racism, sexism etc or if those are just vehicles for them to make money through cruelty. My guess is they'd be the same if gingers were the hated group. Or left handed people, short people or anything else.

I will remind people that in the late 20's and early 30's Hitler's thugs marched through the streets of Germany doing whatever they liked and the Media covered for them. Soon after Adolf Hitler was dictator. We have seen this all before.

It's that time again for the gaming community: The Paradox of Tolerance means you cannot allow hate or fascism to run free or it will destroy other groups as that is their goal. You cannot be "apolitical" in such a situation as doing so means you are siding with the oppressors against the oppresed.

Pointing out how safe DC by showing the low crime rates isn’t going to convince conservatives because “people breaking the actual law” isn’t what they mean by “crime”. To them, “crime” includes merely seeing black people, unhoused people, and anyone else the bigots clutch pearls about as “crime”

Alex B reposted

the problem with letting democrats backslide their support of trans rights whether it be trans in sports or using bathrooms is we’ve seen “compromise” in the UK labor party. they gave into “reasonable” TERF demands and it destroyed the labor party and all rights for trans people

Honestly 10 little freaks in Australia can't shake down payment processors unless the payment processors themselves align with the ten little freaks; it's the book ban stuff all over again. Yes, a small faction facilitated this, but the problem is our world is run by regressive and hateful monsters

This is a good lens about how little actual effort it took for Collective Shout to manipulate these platforms. It usually takes 100x (or 1000x) as much effort to undo these kinds of destructive campaigns. bsky.app/profile/xuel...

The fact that they only needed ~1000 people to call in and email to get their way is actually pretty crazy. There are more people on some of the Discord servers I'm in that could equal their weight, and some of these are just podcast fandoms.
