I've been trying to figure out what Frankenstein-related media the writer must have seen to decide the monster is supposed to be "an agent of evil and chaos" and I'm drawing a complete blank. Whoever wrote that has definitely not got that idea from the book. Is this from some cartoon? Or a comic?
Given that Keir Starmer did nothing to condemn the rise in racist attacks and instead gave us some bullshit about how he likes to shag flags for breakfast, this is the inevitable result. If you're an ethnic minority, Labour is now a danger to you. Do not vote for them. metro.co.uk/2025/09/02/w...
How many times can the lads hail “extremely reactionary and increasingly dumb slapstick Thatcherism” as a breath of fresh air, as the bold new thinking that the country so badly needs and the public loves, before the scam is exhausted? I think maybe no more times, but let’s find out.
According to Oxfam the wealth of the richest 1% has surged by $33.9 trillion since 2015, enough to eliminate annual global poverty 22 times over

In relation to Adnan Hussain’s latest bullshit, he should look north. A new progressive party that knowingly embraces transphobia risks becoming Alba - consumed by it, no meaningful support, a national laughing stock. May he open many ketchup bottles successfully well away from Thai project
Grok is no different from the rest of X/Twitter: it is a means for Musk to impose his worldview on users.
Once again watching England with an archly raised brow from Scotland; we've had 15 years of scorn heaped on Independence supporters up here for being narrow, flag-obsessed nationalists, and now the whole UK Cabinet is lying about having loads of flags they shag all the time, mortifying behaviour
The Greens ought to respond with this
At the next election, she's going to be shouting at everyone to vote for Starmer again, isn't she
"blueskyism" captures the profoundly hollow nature of 2010s politics. people got used to data-driven political triangulation as a substitute for advocacy, an invincible trump card over believing in any values. not surprising that it succeeded most where the modern media is now trapped: Twitter
It's the Greens or nothing
My last hope for Your Party goes up in smoke as Zarah Sultana ‘welcomes’ Mark Serwotka. His wife founded a Woman’s Place UK, a TERF group constantly trying to rollback trans people’s freedoms and he even wrote this lovely piece calling for ‘respectful discussion’ about our rights: archive.ph/iPb0L
This is an election-winning platform if I ever saw one
(Seriously, how weird was that and why did they get away with it?)
They're going to be absolutely wiped out in the cities and the media won't even come up with a stupid name like "red wall" and pretend we've all been using it for decades
I imagine Palantir are writing the contract as we speak
it continues to amuse me that the reason people are betting so much on humanoid robots is the simple reason that most labor is designed for the human body. like, a drone cannot install a sink.
BUMPING THIS TODAY GANG ITS FUCKING COMMS TIME
It's funny how many of these "parody" accounts stopped satirising the governing party as soon as their team won an election. Almost as if their motivating factor was partisanship. Almost.
As if that's even 1% as heinous as Starmer's time as DPP

Given a choice between "previously a boob hypnotist" and "someone who has a law named after them so they, specifically, get a bigger pension", I know which one feels shadier in terms of historic activities tbh
I think the build-up of US warships off the coast of Venezuela has inevitably led to speculation. I hope the speculation is wrong, but we're talking about a Latin American country with oil and a left-wing leader, it's almost a surprise America hasn't invaded already www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...
That's spot on :)
Always thought his Dennis wasn’t a menace at all compared to the real one in the Beano
Question to Zach Polanski at the leadership announcement: "Q: How can you take on Nigel Farage when your policy on immigration is so different?" Everything wrong with British politics and media summed up so succinctly in a single absolutely unhinged question.
Good answer
Same. But Sultana has the opportunity to do something really big by saying "you know what, I'm not standing with transphobes, I'm joining the Greens". It would be seismic and would be leave a much bigger imprint on British politics than anything she could do as leader of the Socialist Sunday Party
❤️ Wouldn't surprise me one bit if Italians are the ones finally doing it
"We had to use up all your drinking water, to create our AI Chatbots that talk teenagers into committing suicide."
This is the kind of thing that might make me reconsider my 2020 decision to give up on voting

Last time I was feeling pleased with my gym progress, my gym closed down and it took ages to find another that takes my vouchers from work. Last week I thought "finally, I'm getting on top of it" only to discover a damn hernia over the weekend. It's like the universe just won't let me get fit again
I am amused that Mamdani is seen as a raving communist for suggesting mid-tier FDR type reforms and there's an actual Eugene Debs dude running for Senate in Maine and he's not freaking out anybodyyyy oh yes. Shit. He's white. Sorry, I just got it. Go about your business.

Hey, that guy is probably the smartest guy out of him and all his racist friends
This is probably a good place to note that if you subscribe to @aimod.social, it will automatically label all AI images, and even accounts that post AI imagery too frequently. Super helpful for me as I need to get new glasses.
"Bone-petite"
There is no longer a single gram of doubt that text, image and video generation is only truly "useful" when it's being used to serve authoritarian, fascist, white supremacist end goals Systems that already rely on deception and theft are the natural beneficiaries of this stuff!!!
I think George Osborne openly musing to the air that the security services probably wouldn’t have tolerated Labour winning in 2017, because of our relationship with America, is quite helpful and I’d like to hear more.
None of this is necessarily confined to the elites. A lot of the types of people who were loudly declaring they couldn’t support Labour in 2019 because of the moral stain of bigotry on the party are the same ones now telling you it’s this or Reform. They are telling on themselves. It’s that simple.
It’s hard to look around—at Blair pitching a luxury resort to be built on the Gaza killing fields or Keir Starmer responding to anti-Asian hate by affirming his affinity for the perpetrators—and not conclude that the elite’s real problem with Corbyn was that he wasn’t sufficiently Islamophobic.
Their faces shouldn't be blurred
the juxtaposition reminded me of how much work there is to do to end shareholder primacy

I'd say I told you so but it was always going to happen wasn't it?

This is how you handle someone who tries to sell AI slop at a con: remove them, and then clown on them relentlessly
I had some leftover rainbow filament left, so here's my daughter's build.
2D animation is booming in theaters. In China, the film Nobody is outgrossing many of Hollywood's recent CG films—on a $10< million budget. It's only one example. As 2D films rise, Hollywood's decision to kill them off looks shortsighted. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-hand-d...

BBC Reporter: (neonazi rhetoric) Labour Prime Minister: yes
I always knew Starmer's government would be disappointing but I wasn't prepared for how quickly they went past that into "actively and proudly just doing evil shit".
an alien wearing human skin and trying to make themselves seem like they too are a human being : yes, i am a supporter of flags
As an aside: do we think it’s a coincidence mainstream politicians and media outlets - rather than Facebook - began pushing “migrants are sexually rapacious satyrs hungering for white flesh” after a series of horrifying sexual abuse scandals badly implicating the media, the police and politicians.
RFK Jr.'s daughter, in a 2012 interview with AP, recalls the 5 hour drive home after her father decapitated a dead whale's head with a chainsaw and strapped it to the roof of their minivan:
Shocked - shocked, I tell you - that an American BlueSky user is unable to admit that they got something wrong about another country. That never, ever happens on here (except for the several times a day it happens on here)
Keir Starmer’s new director of communications isn’t just the founder of Portland Communications – which represented Qatar, Russia and Kazakhstan – he’s also come straight from the board of the anti-trans charity Sex Matters. The government is heading in a dark direction.
Keir Starmer has appointed as his new Comms Director Tim Allan who was a board member of the hate group Sex Matters. It's no longer even pretending to adhere to its Manifesto promise to "remove indignities for trans people who deserve recognition and acceptance."
This remains my favourite-ever story about an American visiting Greece www.reddit.com/r/Anarcho_Ca...
when a leftist says to a liberal, "you're just like MAGA" what they mean is "you blindly support evil politicians who harm vulnerable groups for their own personal gain" when a liberal says to a leftist, "you're just like MAGA" what they mean is "you were rude to me on the internet"
This take from someone else clarified things for me: Americans think US is a melting pot of previously homogeneous cultures. Lib Americans think this makes America great and right-wing Americans pine for the imagined homogeneity of the old country. Useful for both to deny multiculturalism elsewhere.
american racists: british cities are full of people who are not british and pollute your noble culture loads of american "progressives" on bluesky, for no reason whatsoever: anything which isn't made by a white briton isn't british and your e.g. british-indian culture isn't actually british either

I wrote about the humility of expertise and the arrogance of ignorance, the profound laziness that attends believing that you can find knowledge by ignoring the accumulation of inherited human knowledge, and the ways lazy arrogance fuels narratives of fascism. www.the-reframe.com/your-ignoran...
It is. That message is "fuck you scum, you get crackdowns and racism, I get to have my picture taken at the White House and VIP Taylor Swift tickets." Not sure what's unclear about this?
I'm more interested in this because of Avowed rather than OW1. OW1 just lost me about two-thirds of the way through (I gather I'm not alone in that) whereas I actually finished Avowed. Hoping that means they've figured out how to make these games more compelling to me, even if I can't articulate it.

It sickens me that there is more investment in selling/ sharing suicidal people's data to AI companies than there is on providing services that are truly fit for purpose.
And, even more that, her murder by a neo-nazi was repurposed to specifically hold the anti-racist & anti-austerity left to account
The thing that keeps me coming back to the Newsom stuff is that Democrats who object to our saying we'd never vote for him are refusing to treat us as ordinary voters who need to be won over, like any other demographic.
Wonder if these are connected?
This is by far funnier and stronger than literally all the dumb slop Newsom has been getting applauded for.
Nothing is safe from enshittification
Everybody is rightfully lambasting Boss for this fucking bullshit. Subscription-based guitar pedals is some motherfucking horseshit.

If you are wondering what happened in Indonesia yesterday, this is the whole summary. I don't care if you dislike politics, but it's about humanity. It would be greatly appreciated if my English speaker friends here try to educate themselves and share this as a form of spreading more awareness.
