I have never witnessed him give any less than his all in any role in which I’ve ever seen him, he so often looks like he’s having a fantastic time, and that alone makes him a delight no matter the quality of the thing he’s in
For those unaware, the UK seems to be importing the blatant lies about abortion (no such thing as a post birth abortion) and anti choice agendas from the US. We can't assume any (hard fought for) rights are safe.

Just me thinking about jobs.... but...
Maybe the current restaurant labor shortage is not entirely due to worker laziness but rather because people decided they don’t want to work for $2 an hour anymore and be abused by the public
There really is just an endless stream of "you idiots don't want to hear the truth from us, the only people who know what's really going on, and that's why we had to lie and bullshit you to get our own way for decades."
How much money *did* the Times pay Peter Mandelson for his contributions to the "How To Win An Election" podcast? Does anyone know?
One of the peculiarities about the American housing market is this Neoliberal - what I would call Blairite, even - tendency to introduce insanely complex rules to claim you're still helping people without doing the simple obvious thing.
This paper, more than any other, colluded with Peter and his friends on the secret wrecking campaign, on Sir Keir’s leadership campaign and on the purge of Labour. They want you to know that you’re upset about the Mandelson corruption scandal because you’re childish, stupid and self-indulgent.
Never forget that Sam Harris is calipers-and-Bell Curve levels of racist against black people, but he is Rivers of Blood-and-nuke the Middle East levels of racist against Muslims.

Meet James Bembridge, the Reform candidate for Westminster in next month’s local elections.
As well as this tweet, Temu Lex Luthor here, has also been quoted as saying "Most NHS nurses look like they're eating food banks out of business."
Don’t let him get his deposit back.
Infrastructure isn't supposed to turn a profit.
The sewers aren't supposed to be profitable.
The parks aren't supposed to be profitable.
The postal service isn't supposed to be profitable.
The "profit" is in how it enables everyone in society to do more.
EU: The European Union will require sale of mobile phones with “user-replaceable and longer-lasting batteries” starting in 2027.
The regulation demands “availability of spare parts and manuals for 10 years to curb planned obsolescence”.
Plainly telling his own staff “I will ignore the Constitution to enact revenge on my imagined enemies” sure seems to me like a valid basis for impeachment proceedings for a life-term judge in the highest court.
trying to convince someone I don't have a drinking problem when I am literally currently drunk
I remember when the LGB Alliance first formed and they were almost universally mocked - the name itself makes it very clear what they’re doing! It’s not subtle! Now we have Scottish Labour MPs speaking at their conference.
Meadow Saxifrage, a subtle yet pretty plant is one of Ireland’s rarest. It’s found on only one mountain. For years, from the ‘70s-‘90s it disappeared. The govt was getting ready to submit a report that it was now extinct, when it was found again, there. Extinction is an Irish issue, too.
If there's one thing the gentry hate it's the very idea they may ever face consequences for their actions.
i think it’s SO SUPER TELLING that a lot of this manifesto, which demands that we allow Silicon Valley to enact fascism and endless genocidal violence at home & abroad out of a “moral debt” to the govt that funded its rise, is expressed in the language of anti-wokeness and cancel culture discourse
Totally fine that large parts of the British government are jumping into bed with a company whose public statements are "we are, at a fundamental level, absolutely batshit crazy neofascists".
Trevor Phillips said on Sky News this morning that "everybody in the country who could read a newspaper" knew in advance of the Mandelson appointment that he was problematic
is this the same Phillips who interviewed Mandelson on October 08 2023 and didn't ask any questions about Epstein friendship?
NASA captured one of the most detailed views ever taken of Jupiter
Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed.
We must get rid of Palantir altogether.

NEW: Green insiders claim Steve Reed has been put in charge of a 'toxic and divisive' smear campaign against the Greens
Yes, because that’s his job! His role *for years* has been to have his underlings dredge up files full of incriminating-sounding tweets and Facebook likes and then take them to the press, gibbering in terror and foaming at the mouth.
strange these op-eds about women being too angry have all come out the last few days when during the same time there's also been a massive investigation published on an online rape academy with millions of viewers a month and none of them have bothered to even cover it, even as news
It was well known *and yet* every mention of Peter on social media had a hundred responses that were just the photos of him with Epstein, and that achieved nothing at all - didn’t make anyone blink - until the Americans released his sucky, criminal emails.
putting how useless Kezia is signalling she’s going to be in charge of Stonewall, it’s wild for The Guardian to describe the charity losing half its income for supporting trans rights as if it was something that happened organically and not as part of a massive hate campaign they took part in
