Something Ive noticed If something left wing causes a civil disturbance (riots/protests) the accepted wisdom is "well this will just play into the right wings hands" But if something right wing causes a civil disturbance the accepted wisdom is "clearly we need to pay attention to their concerns"

People who go into their workplace when they're ill need a clip around the earhole. Not only did people fight for your right to sick days EXPRESSLY for this purpose, you are putting other people at risk for the sake of nothing more than licking a bit of boot

I used to work in web hosting and I'd say 90% of the thousands, possibly tens of thousands, of websites the company I worked for hosted used PHP. On the best of days, dealing with uninformed and easily agitated customers was a chore...today I can only assume its a nightmare Spare a thought for them

EA's decades long goal of killing as many developers and legendary games finally ticks off Bioware. I'm sure the Saudi takeover had nothing to do with them killing off a studio which frequently puts LGBT characters front and centre

"okay but you HAVE to admit it's cool right?" No, and I'm sick of people saying this. Corporate publicity Stunts are *not* cool. A spectacle? Sure. But they're not cool, and you may be a bit of a loser if you think they are. Especially as this stunt was purely to distract from their failures

Some of my favourite quotes thus far from Macron have been "there is no place for violence in the Republic" and "How can the people of France do this to France?" Someone should remind him what event directly preceded France becoming a republic, and who carried it out

An insane quote

If there's anyone you can trust for impartial advice, it's a conservative opponent

I promise you, if they do this, I am cancelling everything and going back to the bay. I am not paying the BBC for content not made, produced or distributed by the BBC. They are fucking JOKING if they think I'm going to pay them £130 a year to watch YouTube.

Please don't be a retarded pedant if you're going to @ me

Remember what I said yesterday about how people are too eager to spread misinformation? Some select quotes from the article "An eyewitness described seeing the man wearing headphones" so, not Deaf. "Police confirmed he was visiting the park on his own." So not autistic and there with a carer

So, this should be causing more alarm than it is. This is a smoking gun that the support of a major political party and possibly the entire political narrative of the last decade is entirely fiction. Sheep will follow other sheep, so they invented a flock. You are under assault

From an article about Russian interference in the brexit referendum BOY I can't think of a single fucking example of British Voters making the savvy choice at any point in my entire life. They are so easily duped, and so consistently, that duping them is the basis of our entire political system

"The members both chose something they shouldn't have and then voted incorrectly, so we need to give ourselves more power to overrule you plebs" This is another reason I'm not pro-democracy - we always end up at the same pandering to feckless morons

Obviously this is proof that Labour are winning back voters and the greens should get rid of the man responsible for the greens result This is the political reality pundits and newspapers would have you believe

"we need to look after our own before immigrants!" "Okay, house the homeless instead" "🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬"

A further point about the greens Zionism motion and "Butbutbut people will keep bringing it up 😢" critique - NYC has triple the number of Jewish people than the UK, and it just elected a Muslim, openly anti-zionist AND anti-Israel (as it is now) Mayor who dealt with this exact thing. COPY HIM

Her two points are "This implies that those who belong to pro-zionist groups/synagogues are racist" It does, accurately And "All Jewish members will be targeted as Zionists" A standard Israeli tactic of falsely conflating all Jews with Zionism/Israel. This is not true. Shes just outing herself

I don't watch F1 but my parents do so I still catch it, and one of the reasons I don't watch F1 is that it is filmed in the least exciting way possible. These cars are taking sharp corners at 100 fucking MPH and yet on screen it looks no more than 30. They need to start filming it like a movie

I don't know who put the setting in place, and I'd hoped to share this positively, but restricting replies AND quote replies is fucking stupid. I can only repost? If you want your ego stroked and don't want anyone else involved just jack off in front of a mirror or something

This is the same guy who was convinced that Iran would have nuclear weapons by 1995, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2010, 2011, 2013,2015 and 2025 I'm gonna say his ability to predict things his enemies will do is woeful at best

I really hope this isn't actually their plans for the universal theme park. Beyond even more fucking HP shit (like their massive WB studio tour isn't enough), who curated this? WATERWORLD????? It's bizarre they still have that at existing parks let alone one they're building new

This is actually quite good in terms of keeping the self-declared right wing out of power (Labour are right leaning too but pretend they're not) A split right wing vote is a dead one in FPTP.

I have heard the phrase "family is really important to me as a XXX" (where XXX is normally a nationality) many times and it has always bugged me a bit - I'm pretty sure family is important globally. In general. Across the board.

As this is due to venues threatening to cancel the gigs (not Ed Sheeran) I think it's safe to conclude that these venues are explicitly pro-genocide, and should be named and shamed as such

Quick reminder any "left wing" content creator that spends their time going to hard-right areas/events, talking to hard-right voters, who makes a big deal about "oh we should listen to these people, not be mean or dismissive" - they are NOT interested in progressing left wing politics.

Happy Kirkiversary everyone

Donald Tusk, A CONSERVATIVE, has the right response "Only idiots or traitors can rejoice at the triumph of the AfD in Germany" Meanwhile France's Europe minister has the exact response I'd expect from a spineless liberal, waffling about listening to the people voting for the AfD. IT DOESNT WORK

Having caught a glimpse of the HBO Harry Potter series, unintentionally, the thing that strikes me the most is how much it looks like the existing films. Like they haven't really done anything to set it apart at all. Looking forward to this cast of children all growing up to call Rowling a terf too
