Remember when journalism was a thing?
The BBC created Farage. He is their monster.
I’ve had more eruptive face pimples
Sky News is now aping the homicidal sentiment you’ll find on any gammony Facebook page. It’s like they are in a competition with the BBC to see who can fellate the far right more assiduously
Two villages struggled without their idiot today.
Can’t wait until he’s seeing it from underneath
Is this still available?
“Hell is empty, and all the devils are here”
I quite enjoyed it. It has a long way to go before it’s as bad as Prometheus
Let me find the world’s tiniest violin… Time to end this elite Victorian indulgence and chart a more vibrant, nature-rich future for Britain’s uplands
Right wing pundits are always wanging on about every single person in London getting stabbed every day. Make your mind up, MAGA loons.
Everything is either computer or transgender to creepy grandpa.
DC is getting covered in gimcrack Temu gold stickers.
Industrial-scale cognitive dissonance
All new numbers. Incredible numbers. Numbers nobody even knew existed.
I’d give it ten minutes if I were you.
What flavour crisps?
And you know he personally supervised the placement of all this gaudy rubbish. Spent more time on it than on any policy area.
240 year old paper shocked that the law exists.
Very much enjoyed this, a romp through the history of mathematics and how it underpins the modern world. Quite a few equations but don’t let that put you off. Michael Brooks: The Art Of More.
You say they are stupid, but I bet almost half of Trump’s Cabinet could recognise and name an elephant.
Stable genius
Enjoyed The Cautious Traveller’s Guide to the Wasteland by Sarah Brooks. The tale of an armoured train traversing an increasingly bewildering landscape. Agatha Christie meets Jeff VanderMeer, with a whiff of Lovecraft. #booksky
Numbers are woke now?
The USA derives a benefit from the dollar being a reserve currency and a safe haven but that’s underpinned by investors believing economic statistics are credible. Start just making them up…
The tariff is the deal is the tariff. Got that?
I thought the tariff was the deal? At least try to keep the batshit lunacy consistent.
The Haunted Wood is terrific. Managed to be comforting and surprising. Loved it.
Just shut the fuck up, you absolute bawbag.
This is where the right-wing grift gets you: to keep getting the same amount of attention you have to take increasingly extreme positions.
“Vibe shift, if you will”. I can’t keep losing brain cells at this rate.
The Brunowski might be on iPlayer.
There’s the Ascent of Man with Bronowski too, though I’ve not watched that for an age.
Stone cold classic shot
The high water mark was Cosmos with Carl Sagan.
Just because you can do a drone shot doesn’t mean you should.
The USA formally announcing that it’s a rogue state.
Predictable “small violin” response from the north, where we get new trains every 40 years, if we are lucky, and should be grateful!
Pint? #pint
Train cancelled because people want to catch it. Thats a new one.
Vogons would feel queasy reading this.
Is covert picnicking more acceptable?
I hope US folks on the No Kings rallies know how much people outside the US are heartened to see them. We always knew the US is full of very fine people who totally reject and revile what's happening, but my god it's good to see it.
Soon she’ll be posting this guff on the social media network she’s definitely setting up and then nobody ever needs to read it.
Breaking news: Trump is 100% trash, inside and out, every slimy orange nook and cranny, and always has been.
Feel free to lecture Europe about free speech again, USA.
He is such trash. Absolute scum.
Nothing can kill a tardigrade, except, perhaps, this pun.
Should engrave that on a gold disc and attach it to a space probe. Except the space probes have all been cancelled.
I think people forget that most people aren’t that engaged in politics, aren’t on social media and mostly just vote on vibes.
The year 2025: The Daily Express rants about “Brexit betrayal” The year 4025: The Earth languishes under the Betelgeusean yoke. The Daily Express rants about “Brexit betrayal” The year 5 Billion: The Earth boils as the Sun becomes a Red Giant. From their editorial bunker at the Earth’s core etc
I mostly enjoyed A City On Mars by Kelly and Zach Weinersmith. Perhaps the nerd humour started to drag a little but the arguments were sound. A bracing antidote to the shallow, boosterish techno-optimism of the fascist-adjacent billionaire-bro space groupies.
This was a terrific read, about a particularly rambunctious period of English history, when we could have gone in any direction, politically-speaking, from absolute monarchy to proto-communism and anything in between. 💙📚 #booksky
Robert MacFarlane has a new one: Is A River Alive?. I haven’t read it, mind.
💙📚 An enjoyable read about one of humanity’s favourite things: borders. The world would probably be a better place if the British had been forbidden rulers. #booksky
A million! One of the bigliest, bestliest numbers
A”pretty accurate term”. Eh, what? This guy’s brain is day old risotto.
Fuck around and find out, you demented satsuma
Should be 47
Enjoy the World Cup and then get lost, you horrid foreigner!
The temptation to just tell him to fuck off, and walk out…
Anyone can become President of the USA. Unfortunately.
A total scumbag. Just trash.
Ugh. Car crash interview with Sky where she opines that asylum seekers should be housed in tents. She’s awful.
youtu.be/smY-srgNbrs?...
If you converted all the matter in the universe into tumbleweed it still wouldn’t be enough.
Such Wildean wit. We will never see its like again.
I thought the tariff indicated how much your income tax would go down? It’s almost as if it’s all just a firehose of slurry.
Just staring at me through the office window. I’m sure it’s fine. #birds
JD Vance asks “What is judges?”.
Do you know your swift from your Swallow? Watch my animated episode all about how to tell them apart here youtu.be/7u4pH-kpagA?...
The UK has got to be the only country in the world that is politically held hostage by like 15 newspaper columnists that basically nobody reads
I like to sing “mopping the floor, mopping the floor” to the tune of Breaking The Law by Judas Priest when I’m…oh you get the idea.
Remain used rational, economics-based arguments against an emotional position, and failed. I recall seeing surveys showing Leave voters saying they’d still vote leave if it meant a relative losing their job.
A vote for Farage is a vote for chlorinated chicken. bsky.app/profile/theg...
You wouldn’t need an infinite number of chimpanzees to write that. One would do.
Eye-opening graph. The biggest wildfire incidents in the UK don't occur when it's hottest, in high summer: they take place in April - *when landowners set fire to their grouse moors & lose control of burns.* Time to ban moorland burning. Source: www.iucn-uk-peatlandprogramme.org/sites/defaul...
He effortlessly manages to have no depth AT ALL and be a bottomless pit of depravity. Absolute trash.
L - The official photo from the Kremlin of US Special Envoy @SteveWitkoff putting his hand over his heart as he greets his friend Vladimir Putin again this week. R - Putin’s latest missile attack killing at least 21 people, including 7 children, on Palm Sunday. Putin’s stooge.
It’s a cult. Cults have beliefs instead of facts.
Preparing to schedule a meeting to discuss the possibility of setting up a working group to investigate the options blah blah blah
Keep the momentum going. A general strike would be good.
‘He said, she said, they said” is easier than actual analysis.
The stupidity in Trump’s new tariffs is apparently limitless. He has introduced a 10% tariff on the British Indian Ocean Territory. The only inhabited island there is Diego Garcia, home to US service personnel. TRUMP HAS PUT A TARIFF ON A US MILITARY BASE 🤡
America preparing to impose tariffs
The EU should state that it won’t do business with any US company that doesn’t have DEI policies. Christ, the US is fucking exhausting.
Absolutely ghastly.
Coming next, a Reform campaign to cast food standards as woke.
No more Radical Left Marxist penguins at the zoo.
Witkoff and Carlson talk about Europe exactly as Russian television propagandists do. Must dismiss the rich functional democracies where people lead long happy lives so that our own citizens settle for tawdry and impoverishing fascist oligarchy.
That’s no way to win a race.
Orwell would like a word….but it’s been purged.
When they say peace, they mean surrender.
Rejected lyric from Stairway to Heaven?
1066 has a lot to answer for. Infuriating, informative and inspiring, Guy Shrubsole’s book about land ownership in the UK skewers the pretensions of the self-declared stewards of the countryside and charts a path for us plebs to take back control. #booksky
Rt. Hon. Member for Moscow.
Daily reminder that a vote for Farage is a vote for Trump, Putin & Musk bsky.app/profile/poli...
