they could change the script so that Mr Threads says familiar phrases from climate change
they should make a threads about climate change
a great idea. i bet that would shift the narrative on global warming in the uk more than any other form of protest or lobbying
I'm watching a Jewish person try to explain the pain of growing up learning about the Holocaust only to watch a country waving a Star of David flag carry out a genocide and it's falling on the completely deaf ears of a bloodless Democratic politician citing ADL statistics and it's shocking.
no that would damage the economy
that's good i'm just about to apply for universal credit so looking forward to more AI doing that
yeah i tried to go private but i just lost my job so i can't even afford the cheapest versions. last time i had to drugs and alcohol counselling before they let me get any talking therapy, so it took ages. just all very long and ironically, depressing
they can never take away the banter
tbh i didnt even want to do CBT they just told me that's all that was available. i did counselling before but i had to go through a lot of hoops. they just seemed like they were trying to palm me off and prevent me from even going on the waiting list at all
kind of at a loss with what to say about all this stuff. we're rapidly headed towards a completely emotionless future, outsourcing all human connection, creativity and feeling to large language models that can mimic basic conversational patterns and empathy via binary codes. bleak as fuck
applied for therapy on the NHS and they told the waitlist was 8 months but they sent me a letter telling me i can download an AI app to talk to instead lol
so funny (not actually funny) that the only thought in all of this is the 'optics' and pragmatism
Well their goals are the brutal crushing of dissent to maintain a genocide which supports their geopolitical interests in the Middle East. I imagine they think that is pragmatically very well served by criminalising protesters.
fuck me lol
Learnt from the TF podcast that the UK government didn't apply the Online Safety Act rules to online gambling, and I think that tells you everything you need to know about how the country is run.
There was a time when the government would piss on us and tell us it was raining; now they're pissing on us and telling us it's piss.
None of the pricing even makes sense anymore. Everything is basically £5 or more. Clubcard offers just make things normally priced, which is still a mental price because of inflation. It's actually just a scam
Tesco's is actually just a scam. The entire business. It's like the Enron of supermarkets
“Britain’s wokest prison”
tbf it does seem to quite often happen to american rappers and singers when they come over lol
All I’ll say about this is that Joanne can see the millions of roaring fash wankers who follow her and tell her how fantastic she is for clobbering the Woke Left, so we can say with 100% certainty that she knows exactly what she is doing, and she loves it.
you can get your phone stolen by a 14 year old on a bike anywhere urban in the uk but that doesn't sell as compelling a picture to their core voters as "imagine you're rich and have jewellery on but you can't even enjoy the capital city because of immigrants and woke"
the interesting thing about the reform stuff is that it's completely out of date but it doesn't even need to be in any way reflective of reality, because it tells stories that 30 years of media brainwashing has already convinced Gen X and above is real, like "central london is unsafe"
its inexplicable success and sequels makes me feel totally alienated from other moviegoers. a lot of people have said similar things about movies like Avatar but avatar makes a thousand times more sense than Now You See Me
While Labour are literally agreeing with them bsky.app/profile/dori...
i think they're really stupid and driven by spite for sure but i just don't think even the stupidest politician would do what they've done since coming into power, it literally alienates every single type of voter. i just can't see how it isn't a specific plan
It doesn't even matter if Starmer is a plant by the state to destroy the Labour party because even if he isn't, he's play by play doing the exact thing a plant by the state would do anyway, so it's a win win for anyone opposing the left
This might be tinfoil hat but the speed run Labour did from Corbyn to this Reform lite doesn't happen by accident or even by people thinking it's good politics. It's a concerted effort to make Labour politically impotent and therefore destroy any chance of a meaningful left platform.
In 2016, following the Leave vote, Angela Eagle resigned from Jeremy Corbyn's cabinet in tears, stating in her resignation letter that, "Too many of our supporters were taken in by right-wing arguments and I believe this happened, in part, because [of] your leadership"
it's about time 90s gaming got put in it's place
nostalgia is the gateway drug to fascism
yeah horror really is the only genre that seems to be getting better and more inventive in the mainstream as time goes along
yeah it was savage, just the most recent film i've seen. so fucking good though
Now I'm unemployed again I'm going to invest more time into being annoying online, starting with letterboxd. So follow me there x letterboxd.com/tom_usher/
It got loads of likes on my insta when I stole it to post on there too
I really hoped AI would be that but big tech have basically forced it into the governments plans
Isn’t it funny all those NFT guys talking about how NFTs will change the world are all AI guys now
no, my long lost compadre.
Interesting phrasing. I wonder if there's a more succinct way of saying "backlash against antiracism"
ok
well they're wrong anyway because if i wanted to have sex with a fish the first thing i would ask would be a fish
it's not manipulative inherently but i can see how this "well just treat women nicely and they'll have sex with you!" idea is still basically viewing women as a means to your sexual pleasure rather than humans who might also choose to have sex with you if they feel like it, so i still understand
yeah that framing makes it seem like all you're doing is using women for sex, and it's weird that so many leftist men are basically accepting that framework at all
its really not anymore complicated than listening to women and i think the fact that even liberal/leftist men are still dancing around this very simple idea like it's untouchable is weird, even if as i say dunt is generally on the right idea, even if as usual he presents it in the worst possible way
whenever i need advice on dating/my love life/literally anything involving other women, the first place i go to is my female friends, and believe me they will fucking tell me all about everything i'm doing wrong (and what to do right) almost instantly. then i'll ask my mum if it's really real
if you want to find out how to get laid why am i listening to ian dunt or literally any other liberal man (who admittedly in this instance is at least on the right track) when there are millions of women who can tell me exactly how, but that would usually involve being mates with them first
it's fine for straight men to date and hook up and it is a problem that the the right pushes out so much negativity but i think the issue is that advice on 'how to get laid' is actually quite readily available from straight women, it's just that straight men don't listen to or respect straight women
i keep reading this over and over, so funny
the nerds who were into magic the gathering and nintendo are in 5 person polycules with people who wear neon legwarmers and the guy who played football at U15 level and put you in a bin for being gay is on andrew tate forums calling women misogynist insults not seen since the 18th century
thanks man that's good advice i will take you up on that x
also so weird to see genuine alt right talking points (men aren't being allowed to have sex with women whenever they want!) being done in a liberal way. that's that old overton window i guess
the whole question of a straight guy asking "how to get laid" treats women in an inherently disrespectful way lol. you literally cannot ask it without essentially reducing women to objects in some way, a means to an end, which is your sexual pleasure. it's so bad to even frame it that way at all
(Banging on the window of a guy talking on the phone in his car) hey man you’re in a filter bubble. Hang on (aggressively rattling the door handle) let me get in there and show you the most racist image you have ever seen,
Can't think of a single time the MGM lion advanced the plot of the movie in any way. Just needless jump scare
Orlando Bloom Spotted At Dinner With Angela Merkel theonion.com/orlando...
Will be funny when any of this noticing collides with Corbyn because I'm pretty sure they will immediately stop noticing at that point
[spinning multiple wheels at once] incel culture...is actually good...and it's the lefts fault...that they don't engage in it...
[brain making the whirr of an overheating laptop] we need an andrew tate of the left
can and will deliver leather
Hi guys, Joe Media let me go, I know the job market in the UK is totally fucked right now but just putting myself out there again, I can write, present, sing, dance (I can't sing or dance actually). Happy to accept any side missions also x
Violent or destructive left wing protest is framed as delegitimising the protesters' stated cause. Violent or destructive right wing protest is framed as emphasing the need for urgent action on the protesters' stated cause. As always, right wing men are treated as elemental forces without agency.
I would rather die than create an account to continue
did a silly video on how dystopian the coldplay couple stuff is for Joe www.tiktok.com/@tom_usher_/...
I don’t think it’s ok to ruin the lives of people by posting them and their personal details all over the internet for cheating at a gig even if they’re cunts and billionaires and Coldplay fans
remember when that bbc news data nerd proudly unveiled a huge report revealing the scale of online abuse received by MPs and there wasn't a single mention of Diane Abbott anywhere in it, and he then permanently abandoned his twitter account rather than acknowledge this
chuds getting wrecked contained within
Here's the doc again: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KK1...
Hello, I was on the @politicsjoe.bsky.social podcast this morning talking about my steroids doc: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fApO...
liverpool are 'moving mad' as they say, i defo think they got more big signings on the way
the english language, of which, rightly or wrongly woke is now apart of, is used by many countries all over the world
I really don't like the idea of Rodrygo at all, not sure if Eze is also meant to be a back up winger too, but can Leao do Wet & Windy On A Stoke Tuesday Night?
i'm going to nod next time
i'm ok, worried about seeing michael shannon later
lol. Ya, that tracks. A white cop policing people to move to the right. 🤣 Hilariously typical.
@tomusher.bsky.social just saw this in Bilbao, checkmate
yeah but the word has now (largely because of the global right) now lost nearly all it's original meaning. and then the new meaning (essentially derogatory, used to bullshit any genuine claims the left make) is what the right have used to embarrass the left with. that was what i was trying to say
yes i've noticed a lot of high profile leftists in the UK begin to be embarrassed by the word woke and identity politics etc, rightly or wrongly. that's what i was referring to. thanks for engaging in good faith btw
of course we're not embarrassed to be anti-racist, or really any of the things that the media have now prescribed as 'woke' - i'm saying that the right now has a go to way of quickly and effectively shutting down and shaming leftists, namely, and ironically, by the bastardisation of the word woke
i loved that one
i might go on a 'shannon spree' this weekend, in celebration of our new friendship
yeah but the good stuff is fucking amazing
tfw you can't go outside without bumping into tom usher
he looks terrified doesn't he
bastardising with an S btw. because we're not from america
hey guys that reminds me i keep seeing michael shannon just out and about. asked him for a photo the first time and now every time i see him (been about 4/5 times now) he recognises me and it's really awkward
i'm sorry i quote tweeted this thread. i'm actually sorry i'm on here at all
i don't know who was the american patient zero in retweeting me but it's actually insane on here that once a tweet crosses the atlantic divide it's basically open to the most ridiculous interpretations possible
no fkn way dude
NOTICE FOR ALL AMERICANS: OTHER COUNTRIES EXIST, I REPEAT, OTHER PEOPLE ARE ALIVE IN A COUNTRY THAT ISN'T THE USA
you just couldn't think of a more classic shut in leftist than that account so it's really funny to try make it out i'm somehow not hard because i said the right keep winning the culture wars
look, right, I desperately want the left infighting to stop as well right, but “man you’re such a wimp” following so hot on the heels of “I have to get microwave meals delivered because I can’t make a hello fresh recipe” is so good man. it’s so good.
(on the safest website in the world for leftists and liberals) i'm going to stick my neck out here and say i'm VERY left wing
really funny that you literally cannot make a point about the left without it being used as some kind of starting point for leftists to prove how left wing they are. and hilariously in a lot of cases, how strong and tough they are too
Containment breach on Level One - the Yanks are in the walls!
This guy is now screaming, “Don’t you understand!? The whole reason I’m so weak and afraid of standing up for myself is because I’m BRITISH!!!” Go eat beans on toast and cry in silence lmao
getting totally ratioed dude by all the americans who have basically no idea what the fuck i'm talking about but are angry because the thing i said doesn't align with the experience i'm talking about which doesn't align with theirs
yeah i'm a big wimp, you've really put me in my place, person with a cartoon racoon as their pic, guessing you're scary as fuck irl
