Yes!
having spent the day in Tallinn learning about the KGB’s activities in the city during the Soviet occupation, hearing transphobes bleating that modern Britain is a “totalitarian state” because a shithead got arrested for threatening physical violence against trans women is quite something
always loved this lil guy. so jaunty.
oddly this makes complete sense to me, the British managerial class is constituted almost exclusively of mediocre, vindictive people who would no more admit that their ideas are terrible than fly to the moon (moon flights having been ruled out on cost grounds, and because people might enjoy them)
it is, actually. I tend to find there are a lot of decent people here who are interested in a proper debate. If that hasn’t been your experience, have you considered that the problem is you?
remind me again how Ed Balls stopped being an MP, did he step down voluntarily or did he lose his seat to one of the biggest Tory arseholes because he was that shit at his job
Good journalism is when your news show is hosted by the husband of the Home Secretary, who is also the former Shadow Chancellor, and he gets to tell the interview subject they’re bad for taking votes from his party. The public learn a lot.
(I tried to search for “Eurovision 2025 iceberg” and it gave me a bunch of results about Iceland instead. No “showing results for ‘Iceland’, show results for ‘iceberg’ instead” or anything, it just seemed entirely unaware that they were different words)
been trying to pivot to DuckDuckGo since Google is crap and AI-riddled now, and it pains me to say it but DuckDuckGo sucks in a completely different way
To reiterate; This is how the Guardian describes a tweet that advocates assaulting trans women; “Posts on transgender issues”
amazing
This is a spoof, I refuse to believe there is a real faction called 'Hold Fast Labour', or that Robert Knowles-Leak is a real person
what credible policy commitments would those be? You’ve got absolutely nothing of value to offer this country, Starmer is a spineless failure and the whole party is riddled with transphobes, halfwit careerists, and transphobic halfwit careerists.
I’d never thought of it like this
about 3,000 known varieties of pears are grown worldwide, varying in both shape and taste
We appear to be sharing our hotel with a flight crew and an under-21s football team so I feel like the potential for some kind of hilarious high-concept hijinks is, well, high
Anyway when the Trump administration tells you they are concerned about antisemitism, just remember they haven’t told federal agencies that scheduling major events on Jewish High Holy Days is off limits but they do want to deport brown people who oppose genocide You can do the math
fr stop doing this to people's names! They're not on here namesearching so you are just breaking people's mute lists!
Remarkably few people seem to have loved ones who don’t laugh hard enough when they suggest they’d like to be head of state
You would not believe how hot this thing gets.
oh I see Rowling barked an order and Starmer immediately capitulated, what an absolute fucking waste of oxygen
Incredible scenes as Terf.K Rowling finally acknowledges that Graham Linehan exists…but he can’t tweet about it due to bail conditions. The best and worst day of his life
Eurovision watch: have had the music channel in Estonia for 45 minutes and have already had videos from Alika and Stefan
Imagine
Remember when Liz Truss went round local radio expecting an easy ride and got annihilated youtu.be/_q0rlT-5oxE?...
nice that Graham finally has a solid answer for my “can you define the word ‘chair’?” question: it’s the thing you sit on with your head bowed as you mumble “yes, mr policeman, I promise not to go on Twitter anymore, sir”
If I were a Sun reporter seeking hypnotherapy I’d probably need them to give me a soul rather than bigger boobs
Something supremely stupid about British politics where the commentariat doesn't understand the idea of parties having different policies, only better or worse executions of the One Elite Opinion Approved Policy.
I want no part of a party that embraces transphobes thanks bsky.app/profile/spac...
MotherFUCKER
oh yeah, they were getting heat for that too
also what in the name of branding hell is making autocorrect cap up “quick look” without my consent
had a quick look at the Heilsite to see what sort of reception this was getting and even over there they are getting absolutely bodied
jeez
Worth the pain if we get bigger bees imo
Also i have a thousandfold more respect for the boob hypnotist than i would a landlord
happy Glinner Arrested Day to all who celebrate
"How can you take on Man City when you want to score goals against them and they want to score goals against you? These are opposites!"
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.
also maybe look up why Zack Polanski doesn’t go by David Paulden any more?
but you weren’t pointing out facts. You literally got your facts wrong.
aware my followers might not know about uk flag politics. basically if a guy flies the union flag (🇬🇧) he has really strong views on anthony eden's handling of the suez crisis. if a guy flies the england flag (🏴) he's saying that he's thrown a can of foster's at somebody's head at 11:30 am*
(sarcasm)
This spam call epidemic is out of control. I have had two of the fuckers while I have been on holiday, and I hope every single person involved falls down a very deep pit and can do nothing but sit alone with their thoughts about the impact they have made on the world.
The Labour party right now:
Mate, that’s not his name and never has been. If you’re going to try to shame someone by using a birth name that they have since changed (which is dickhead behaviour anyway), you should probably at least try to get the birth name right?
transphobia remains a huge vote-winner I see
I know it's a stupid thing to expect out of our country's poor excuse for journalists, but I'd have hoped at least one of them would just impulsively say "no you fucking don't" to the claim that every Labour MP has every single surface of their homes covered in flags.
does anyone else regularly add the words “YOU IDIOT” to their reminders or is that just me
always Interesting to see whose discomfort deserves snapping to attention, making strongly worded statements and announcing policies, and whose emphatically does not
absolutely rotten stuff. horrible. fuck off
Using one photo already in your phone, what is the announcement tomorrow at 2?
If I were doing this it would be so repetitive because for the past week it’s been ‘Hello Kitty’ by Mae Muller
Yvette Cooper so amazingly dishonest she’s floating Switzerland as her model - except Switzerland’s conditions apply to those with temp protection not refugee status, and the ECHR just find the Swiss for refusing reunification to refugees. She’s just a horrible cruel bastard
“Most people are jolly nice actually. Don’t listen to the algorithms that try to divide us. If only the government can tackle the [checks the boisterous yet excellent national press] terrifying influx of foreign murderers, I think we can all enjoy a jolly nice cup of tea together.”
Donald Trump holds press conference but manages only to wheeze loudly for twenty seconds, before coughing out what appears to be a large poisonous moth
Results so stunningly clear they inspired this classic xkcd (xkcd.com/2400/):
Nothing is stopping you from putting a stuffed olive toothpick skewer through your sandwich half. It's not just for cartoons, it can be real, it can happen to you.
That’s me. The inexperienced DJ. You might be wondering how I got here. *record scratch* Shit.
I’d like to give him the credit of thinking he’s doing this on purpose to make flags incredibly uncool, but
Watching Eurobasket and their version of VAR appears to involve replaying the crucial moment backwards and forwards at a variety of speeds over and over again *and broadcasting it*, all sports should do this because it’s very funny
Once again - Americans should have to pay tariffs on every post they make about other countries
don’t be racist
Fucking hell
What if they not letting Trump speak because he had a Reverse Fetterman Stroke and hes woke now
This is the funniest so far
If anyone’s interested, Finnish TV is three years behind on The Great British Sewing Bee
rip to everyone whos become delusional after talking to chatgpt but im built different. like actually different. according to chatgpt im some kind of god. the one who decides
On the news it looked like it was quite rainy but everyone seemed to be having fun nonetheless!
Kate Bornstein’s play Hidden: A Gender was first performed in 1989
wholesome news from Finland: saw on the news this evening that there appears to have been some sort of Darude Sandstorm-themed fun run today
Every single ad on TV Tropes was for that for a while. I reported it to the mods but they weren’t interested.
(we don’t need any more of those, we already have Jess Glynne etc etc etc)
by “outsiders” do you mean people with no musical talent
oh god, is that the “the media is feeding you lies about Hamas” one? I kept getting ads trying to get me to watch it, and even the ads were fucking repellent
Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival
no gender marker at all and are used by men and women indiscriminately. In other news: the sky is not falling, life continues as normal, society as far as I can see is not crumbling.
notes from the frontline of the gender wars in Finland: here it appears mostly that toilets are all accessed by the same main door and then subdivided into cubicles. Cubicles invariably are either marked as male (and, curiously, contain both a sit down loo and a urinal in the same room) or have
Maybe, but given the sheer number of people I see pushing through the wide access gate at stations without tapping a card, TfL doesn’t seem to be putting much effort into stopping them
The question at this point is whether it will be asylum seekers or trans people used to remove everyone’s Article 8 human rights to a private and family life. Make your predictions now - who does Westminster hate more?
Helsinki’s contactless payment system for public transport lets you buy tickets for multiple people on the same card; what the hell is London’s problem
This whole thing is great but the highlighted bit made me laugh out loud. 😂 Marlon on Snoop:
I can
🎶I'm sorry Nick Jackson (woo) There is no deal We called off the Bayern loan-to-buy Fly home to replace the injured guy🎶
Ocean’s 9 but it’s all these women suing the shit out of Meta and taking control of the company
sat here trying to remember how to do the Macarena but every time it just turns into the Saturday Night dance
I loved that it was billed as a GAME CHANGING ADVANTAGE and it changed absolutely nothing lol
When I was ghostwriting gay werewolf romances the client once emailed me an idea & ended it with "you get the jizz." He wasn't being funny, he just honestly thought the saying was "you get the jizz" & I think about that every now & then. I wish him well
A think tank should be tackled with tanks. It's in the name.
Didn’t it just become irrelevant? She could only use it on the next leg, which turned out to be one where none of her allies were at risk anyway.
Amazingly, people care very little about being high minded and scrupulously fair when the other side is currently trying to shove the country towards fascism. If you want crocodile tears about the awful awful plight of the right, you can simply contact literally any newspaper.
I’ll keep an eye out. They are currently showing the Amazon version of the Prince Andrew/Newsnight drama, randomly.
just turned on the TV in Finland and had a fun game of “where is this programme imported from” (I won, it was South Africa)
The thing about “calling them fascists doesn’t work” is that it’s clear that avoiding calling them fascists hasn’t worked either, so we might as well at least be accurate even if we can’t solve anything
This kind of spineless capitulation makes my blood boil. "Boo hoo you can't call a fascist a fascist." Fuck off. The fact nobody is willing to name what these people are and treat them accordingly is why we have to deal with them at all. They should've been driven out of public life decades ago.
well, I guess they *are* blight-y
The Quakers are doing exactly what all public services are legally allowed to do even if the EHRC wants to pretend they're not: say gender-based toilets are inclusive and for anyone bothered by that as a matter of belief, there are stand-alone cubicles that they are very free to use. 1/
