A dominant motivation for these agitators getting up close to the group they're counter protesting is to
A) rile people up to get content for their channels
B) an understated hope someone might take a swing at them so they can get one of their opponents arrested

The PSNI are facilitating this.

Top tip:

"Views my own" or "personal account" hasn't been a useful protection from HR/code of conduct policies for years and years.

Banham Zoo residents undergo CT scanner health checks A big cat named Mishka and a particularly lethargic sloth are among the zoo residents to be scanned.

Beth worked as a doctor for years until a transphobe turned up. Now, she's had to leave her job, leave her home, move to the other side of the world and is still being hounded and harassed by the media and cult.

She did nothing but exist as trans in the orbit of Sandie Peggie.

Opus (2025) has 39% on Rotten Tomatoes and I'm honestly not sure if that's about right or harsh.

I enjoyed it either way.

Non-zero chance there's a network of bad posters set up by McSweeney before he got the boot and he paid for 12 months up front.

Every now and then a Gender Critter, or other fascist, says and does something so unbearably cruel i just shut down and cry. Its what they want, i know, but this is so monstrous and yet the cis seem to just casually walk on by.

Mahmood told Forde’s Political Party podcast at the Duchess Theatre that claims she was chasing Reform votes were “just a way of delegitimising the point of view that I bring to the table”.

“It’s also a way of delegitimising the perfectly valid, legitimate views of millions of people in this country, including ethnic minorities in this country. And it’s not acceptable, right? And also, you’re trying to put me in a box, which includes a lot of people who think I don’t even belong in my own country.

“That’s why I said this individual can just fuck right off, because I know I belong in my own country. You’re not going to be able to do that to me,” she said.

She said there was an aspect of racism to the claims. “I do think there is that element of it, which is: ‘How dare you, a brown woman, say a thing that we white liberals think you’re not allowed to say?’ Well I’m saying it.”

Can't think of anything funny to say about this. Mahmood's repeated weaponisation of racism to defend her racist policies might be the most immoral thing a minister has done since Osborne's Philpott comments

Might go design a bunch of pro-Starmer merch and sell it on Red Bubble.

The defenders sound like reasonably well-off rubes with bad taste, so they might be willing to fork out £40 for a hoodie like that.

Olly Robbins' bombshell evidence so far:

* The Cabinet Office suggested there was no need to vet Mandelson *at all*

* No 10 applied 'constant pressure' on Mandelson to approve Mandelson's appointment and took a 'dismissive' attitude to vetting

* Mandelson was given access to the FCDO building, to low classification IT and to 'higher classification briefings' before he was granted security clearance

* No 10 showed **no interest** in the actual vetting. The entire focus was on getting Mandelson to Washington as quickly as possible

screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question).

an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question:

"there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask.

it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same.
 
it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.”

there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price

for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

It is a disgrace beyond words and of historic proportions that, immediately after watching the undeniable truth of what Israel is doing to Gaza, the world responds by letting it lay the groundwork for the very same in Lebanon

As someone who quite likes food, I really can't understand being the sort of person that does these food challenges.

I think I'd end up hating food.

Imagine eating all that bread. I'd be so uncomfortable and sleepy afterwards.

I keep coming back to this.

It's nakedly clear that Palantir is first and foremost a vehicle for fascist ideology.

It isn't just a business with a fascist at the helm, the business itself is inherently fascist. It exists to spread fascist ideology

When they talk about the decadence of culture I feel sick.

This company is deeply embedded in UK institutions. They already have some of your data and Labour wants to give them more, embed them more deeply.

This is deeply fascistic in the axiomatic, Umberto Eco checklist way, but also emotionally and culturally, in a Male Fantasies way...

Starmer knew that Mandelson was the Prince of Darkness and Epstein's 'best friend'. He didn't care. He knows the B-52s bomb girls schools. He doesn't care. He knows the water companies pump shit into our rivers and beaches. He doesn't care. The problem is that his party doesn't care.
