What does it mean, if you can’t lift a stone anywhere near politics, media or the cops without something hideous and hairy scuttering out from underneath it

It's going to be even worse the next time they appoint Peter Mandelson

this is fucking nuts:

never heard him like this, like he's in the room! What a gift, thank you for posting!

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

an overriding message that i see from people wanting the Dems to "do something" in the USA is a call to "punish the villains" & i do think in this election especially labour needs punished for their betrayal of lgbtq+ people in Scotland under Sarwar and general reactionary tilt under his leadership

people are getting all worked up about this but it boils down to simple economics really: if a few people want the yachts to which they’re entitled then a few other people have to die soaked in piss in hospital corridors

Robert Harris @Robert__Harris X.com Imagine Trump's messages read out by the prosecution at Nuremberg. ("A whole civilisation will die tonight.") They would have hanged any one of the defendants.

Well indeed, and again: this shit is happening because the world did nothing to even impede the obliteration of the Gaza Strip, and the men who did that took it as global permission for them to expand their murderous destruction across the entire region. And here we now are.

The United States is behaving in a way that is indistinguishable from how an advanced Third Reich would had it emerged victorious from World War 2, and nearly every leader in the developed world is now abandoning their duty to confront it, having acclaimed and legitimated it every step of the way.

This and P&Ps run of other gems 🤌

presumably he means stocks and shares

Looks like Casio A1000MA-7

Is it ok to make comparisons to history now, or is it still antisemitic

Gonna guess the reason is drugs

Luis Garicano @lugaricano X.com Many of us, liberal Europeans, spent decades pushing back against the European extreme left's cartoon version of America ( it's all oil/ imperialism/getting rich at the expense of others) and then one dumb administration walks in and performs the caricature to perfection. FT Financial Times & @FT • 23h Pete Hegseth's broker looked to buy defence fund before Iran attack

A lot of otherwise smart people around who apparently don’t know how to properly articulate the simple sentence “I have completely fucked it in the worst possible way, sorry about that”.

So has anywhere else in the world done the death penalty but only for one ethnicity? What sort of country were they? The sort that we are told Israel is not?

Israel bringing back the death penalty that it had previously abolished *specifically* for Palestinians is an absolutely hideous crime

Russia plans to illegally annex lands it invaded, even as its military falters. Israel Plans to Control Large Parts of Southern Lebanon, Defense Minister Says

The difference between these two is racism

such a funny split diopter shot

Britain is very obviously facilitating a war of aggression against Iran, just as we have obviously been facilitating the genocide of the Palestinians for two and a half years. But if nobody who matters wants to see it, then it just *isn’t real*. And that is how Britain has always worked.

Honestly is there a funnier historical moment to claim as devoid of introspection than the early seventeenth century? And yet to me, what is this quintessence of dust?

If the above isn't 'important enough to write about' beyond social media posts i'm pointing to fabrications of those with most power at the moment and asking when those will be addressed in writing, given they have more serious weight and implications

I'm asking where James' articles on this are, which is a legitimate question

When are the articles about Kier Starmer's repeated lies to a) labour membership and b) the electorate coming?

When are the articles about the current PLP including large amount of former corporate lobbyists coming?

Jo Cox was killed by a man like that guy harassing Hannah Spencer

superb

“To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole.”

Judgment of the international Military Tribunal at Nuremberg, Germany.

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

There should be an Earth for people who don't hate all living things
