I like the idea of the easy life, but I chose video games and Manchester City instead. European/Canadian hybrid. 🇪🇺🇨🇦

go on say some shit again about how concern about data centers is overblown

Here's Amazon's two new planned fossil-fuelled AI data centres next to the ENTIRE POWER GRIDS OF SEVERAL LARGE COUNTRIES Together, the two gas-burning data centres will emit more than Spain's entire grid, if built

Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface

Incredible moment where Fox News puts up a graphic with all the reasons it opposes the DSA and why people should be afraid of them

Note to America: The World is a necessary component of a World Cup

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

Some World Cup players and team staff are being questioned or barred from entering the U.S., angering fans and heightening concerns about how immigration enforcement will be carried out during one of the world’s most international sporting events. https://wapo.st/4dYKWPx

Pep Guardiola on Manchester: "This city is built from work, from graft. You see it in the colour of the bricks. The factories, the Pankhursts, the unions, the music, the industrial revolution and how this changed the world. I think I grew to understand that and my teams did too."

It's worth remembering that the majority of immigration is for educational purposes. Students. Brains. Future experts that might decide to stay and enrich our lives. And we're celebrating that the pull of this country is diminishing.

Hugely important takeaway this. Stop chasing the Reform vote, Labour, you won't ever convince them.

Labour lost almost four times as many voters to the Greens as they did to Reform UK in the local elections, according to new YouGov polling

In this day and age, it's scandalous that buying weed is even remotely scandalous. Can we not get these very busy people to enforce more important things?

Ignoring all the other things that Artemis II is supposed to be (or not be) about, the fact we get basically once-in-a-generation human-eye-trained hand-held photographs that are like this is definitely one of the things that highlights the human element of it all to me TBH

If people were truly committed to their views on the Edward Colston statue they'd be demanding this be reinstated.

RIP James Stannage. Absolute loon but his Silly Hour was a must for all kids in Manchester and Salford growing up in the late 80s early 90s. Talksport would’ve paid him millions if he was in his prime now.

Greater Manchester Police: We’ve concluded our investigation into alleged ‘family voting’ at last month’s Gorton and Denton by-election, finding no evidence of any intent to influence or refrain any person from voting.

Imagine threatening to invade and annex NATO allies, then getting pissy when they won't help you in a mad war you started against someone else, which has nothing to do with NATO anyway

Fond memories of working at NTL, woman rang up screaming at me. Her husband in background shouts at her, “don’t talk to them like that. They’re on fuck all” Then he takes phone off her, and gives me a line which I have used myself since “Do you have a manager you dislike intensely I can speak to?”

Ringing a call centre with the sole intention of ruining the day of the employee who answers? Prize cunt. No exceptions. You've got a complaint. You're angry. The staff member on minimum wage is trying to help you. Don't be a bullying cunt.

So much that’s good in this, but clipped out this in particular. Yes, yes, yes: it’s a losers’ ideology, demonstrably, historically so. It’s stupid and pointless and wearying, and, as he says, it ends up eating itself. It’s who it takes with it on the way down the shitter that’s the tragedy.

I don't think I've ever seen the white exceptionalists get quizzed about this obvious paradox on MSM. I want to see them squirm trying to explain it.

Keir Starmer attacks the racism of Reform and Matt Goodwin but then adds that "Britain has also been let down by a mindset on the left of politics that is too slow to defend core British values"

OK this makes me extremely angry. Has everyone forgotten the massive profiteering from thousands of avoidable pandemic deaths?? The unconstitutional suspension of parliament to force through an act of nationalist destruction that cost our children their future??
