Would a teacher be placed in a school before background & criminal record checks?

So how come a senior ambassador‘s position was?

watching the latest episode of Bill Maher to prep for the I Hate Bill Maher podcast and this guy is just a total dipshit, huh?

The *entire Starmer project* needs to be understood as one big Jobs For The Boys operation. That’s why McSweeney - Labour’s squillionaire bungs officer - spent 2017-19 running around telling dejected MPs to hold tight, because he was going to hook them back up with their clout, status and freebies.

Jerusalem Post: Despite a “ceasefire” the IDF is giving orders to open fire on everyone in Southern Lebanon trying to go home — “Even if the person is unarmed… based on the idea that there are no civilians left in Southern Lebanon.”

As a matter of principle, you can either have a dinner that celebrates the First Amendment or you can have a dinner that features Donald Trump. You can’t have both because the president holds the freedom of the press in contempt. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

RIP all the Starmer fans on Bluesky frantically wordsmithing their sad little takes about it’s the meeeedddiiiaaaa and Starmer is a stand up guy xx

Remember when Wes Streeting announced he was going to make around 100k NHS backroom staff redundant with no audit, risk or impact assessment, then spent six months or so begging the treasury to give him the money for redundancy pay outs, to then be forced to take it out of future healthcare budgets?

Britain left leaderless after Sir Keir Starmer does not resign as prime minister In a stunning turn of events, Sir Keir Starmer has left the nation leaderless after he failed to offer his resignation as prime minister.

Yesterday, Starmer was forced to defend his perfectly rational decision to hire the Prince of Darkness as ambassador to the US. Starmer had initially claimed ignorance, insisting he had no idea he was prime minister at the time of the appointment.

Sunrise this morning here in Glastonbury.

Timeline cleanse: I just got on a bus. An elderly woman was trying to pay but her card didn’t work. She was standing flustered by the driver. A boy, maybe 12 or 13 years old, who was queuing to get on said to the bus driver, “sir can I pay for her?” and then went ahead and paid for her

With the leak to the NYT of their internal notes to each other, I hope the conservative justices on SCOTUS are currently *very* paranoid about talking to each other. Because at least one of them is (or has staff who is) indiscreet and disloyal.

Keep looking over your shoulders, fascists!

it’s a great day for transphobes to eat shit

another day, another thing that makes it blatantly obvious that dems are willing partners in the fascist project

It's official: The House has sworn in Democratic Rep. Analilia Mejia.

This is a war based on lies

I just assume this is a feature of the school shooter type, of which these guys are all extremely vivid examples

Apparently Sam Altman also wrote a manifesto (on top of Marc Andreessens a while back). Are there others?
Genuine question: why do we think the tech bros are doing this? Which need does this fulfill for them?

FUCK IT, WE'LL DO IT DEAD

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.

He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).

Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.

And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.

Remember this.

Maybe we'll keep some InfoWars content up.

In the 70's the Government owned Energy, it built houses, it owned Public Services and it employed people.

Now billionaires own it all, and they pay you too.

So every year prices go up more than wages.

It's not complicated why things are only getting worse.

It's billionaires

Saying "no man, you don't get to win this time" to evil people who have the power of the entire corrupt government behind them has to feel pretty fucking good

She is awful and should be fired but man that is three women out of the Cabinet and not a single guy

Thank you, Bill.
