Binned all Meta products over the last month (despite the Kafkaesque process needed) and, yeah, feeling good about it. And yeah, "ethical shopping etc. is just wooly, performa- " fuck off.

This really made me lol

A reason to buy a cheap DVD player, all on its own. screenrant.com/mr-robot-doc...

"After all, the Arab countries are not exactly shining examples of civilisation, are they? Few of them make much contribution to the welfare of the rest of the world. Indeed, apart from oil - which was discovered, is produced and is paid for by the West - what do they contribute?"

Re: L*z Tr*ss All this chewing over a grubby book written by a grubby person has three practical aspects •helps the commentariat phone in self-congratulatory commentariat stuff •completely ignores why the dysfunctional Tory party gave her her 15 minutes •floods the zone with shit. Pls stop it.

Not getting carried away by Hungary, Serbia and Brazil, but the current Czech Republic "coalition" government (including a party named "Motorists for Themselves") resembles Lowe, Farage and Yaxley running a pub. morningstaronline.co.uk/article/thou...

BBC News has been captured by the right wing now, no doubt something to do with the ex Director of News and Programmes at GB News, John McAndrew, being planted there, as *guess what* Director of Programmes. Jenrick should consult his Bible "Even a fool is considered wise if he keeps silent..."

Too late for domestic gas consumers to use an easily opened account for the original reason for the derivatives markets, to "hedge" against future liabilities, and this is looking ominous for the winter, UK NatGas 35% up in the past month.

Save Our Children!... ....From malicious, lying right wing turds and their clumsy propaganda, with the help of Emma, and her forensic skills! (Too late, of course, to stop this drivel sloshing through the average MoS reader's excuse for a brain, but they're a lost cause).

Oh wow oh wow

Despite it being the second most common element in the known universe, helium's uitilitarian properties have made it very sought after. In the 1930's, the U.S. embargo helped end airship travel by forcing the use of hydrogen, resulting in the Hindenburg disaster. www.euronews.com/2026/10/23/u...

Never shoot the (poorly paid, unconsulted) messenger. There are various addresses being shared to which the flyers can be returned (+ I suppose anything else sent) in order to make a minute scratch in cryptobro coffers. Reform UK, FREEPOST RTLT-ZXHY-KSDC, 83 Victoria Street, London, SW1H 0HW

But, should you now be a Prepper, that let me suggest that you, and your nearest (if not dearest), have a look at Jack Dorsey's latest. Download Bitchat (🔊 bit-chat) and have a Net connection free, local "walkie talkie" network. Add wind up phone chargers and "BRING IT ON PUTIN" bitchat.free

Dog shit/pavement ratio. It was a 50/50, getting home in the 70's, whether or not that omnipresent smell would follow you in the front door. Too late! A common sight was people standing on one leg, checking their soles, as the stuff stuck to doormats as well as to blankets. Also: toxocariasis.

🔴 REVEALED: Palantir led closed-door review of how MoD buys software The review was presented to defence minister Luke Pollard by Palantir UK boss Louis Mosley in Feb and has mostly been implemented None of this was made public New investigation🧵 democracyforsale.substack.com/p/revealed-p...

It's dangerously unsettling and weird when one comes into direct contact/conflict with this type of person (Clifford, not Dan). For a taste of how barking Clifford is, read this (but not as barking as the people who read this and then give him money) iainclifford.com

An excellent read, for anyone who has forgotten how one of the most damaging 14 years in British history - a bold claim - a.k.a. "The Tory Years, 2010/2024" peaked in absurdity in 2022, leaving master dissembler, Sunak, to turn out the lights. russincheshire.substack.com/p/it-would-a...?

Lovely long Trump soundbite, gabbling/gasping on about fossil fuels on BBC Radio News.

Well, seeing as the press and some old men dressed like curtains have convinced each other (and some of us), that our Septic Isle is the juicy target of a many many Bad People attack, George is making a relevant observation here.

I mean… How long do we have to put up with this shit? We really do get it. Farage’s greed makes him an insane security threat. And there’s absolutely nothing altruistic or democratic or good for the country that will come from his frenzied corruption. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

A fiction writer is flattered that an influential organisation lists his work in their recommended reading. Until he reads “most of [his] books don’t have endings (they literally stop mid-sentence).” They literally don't end like that: he muses why nealstephenson.substack.com/p/a-remarkab... #AI

When does "inward financial investment" become "imperialist colonial behaviour"?

Had this idea in lockdown, half-built it, forgot about it, remembered it again, though might as well finish it.

This will come to nowt, unfortunately, but do it anyway. Why will it not influence Baron Mendoza? A clue en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Me...

The retort from those FF stans, pimps and lobbyists that gas will be cheaper in this country, if High Court injuncted production in the North Sea is allowed (under foreign owned licences), is also risible, as that extracted will be sold on the world market. It's bad faith and lies all the way down

ReformUK's slavish, bullet point emulation of the bullying Trump playbook continues.

"They can start cutting people's faces up. They can stab someone. They can shoot someone." EXCLUSIVE: Our hidden cameras capture the leader of Turning Point UK organising a fake rally for a foreign government and helping arrange a murder-for-hire with loyalist paramilitaries.

"Derivatives" have been around for a long time, with a 2026 notional value nearing one $quadrillion. They originated as an "hedge", to lock in time vulnerable profits on the underlying asset, the future trade taking place via an "exchange", ensuring that the deal be honoured. This is now broken.

The most excellent Sarah. Buy/borrow her books, too.

His legal fees no doubt taken care of by the Global Treasurer for Racism, Musk.

If, however, you click "START NOW", there's a likelihood that you may.

BBC licence payers will be glad to hear that their "hard working etc's" money is not being completely wasted (on Chris Mason's salary etc.), but on righteous legal activity.

Support in every way possible.

250 years ago, Edward Gibbon wrote the following in his obligatory-to-read/own masterpiece "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire". Of course, he didn't write the title, merely predicted it. That comes from the erudite and wonderfully readable Neal Stephenson's free Substack.

Prescient Sarah, palpably right.

I'm hardly an Ahimsamatic, but I avoid killing anything if possible. This does not include that variety of housefly which describes a lazy, asymmetric flight path and lands, feet tickling, on oneself. Sighed, reached into cupboard-under-sink and sprayed it with oops WD40, not Raid. Works though.

"I see the bell curve of the dying seconds of my career's 15 minutes, attractively mirrored by their croup."

The absurdly transparent transformation of the BBC into FoxUK continues. "Who is this person?" "Oh, a 5 minute wonder pop singer who now does "podcasts"." "Hmmm....'Winston' lol.. Marshall?.. that rings a bell" "Podcaster?" "No...father.. try billionaire owner of GB News and The Spectator."

There are meme stocks, and there are mememe stocks.
