replacing the Tories with Starmer’s Labour is only a celebration if you view politics as a team sport and you’re happy the reds won

For everyone who cares about how the Dixiecrat KKK faction are getting on and if Lyndon Baines Johnson's feelings are hurt, this is probably a huge consideration!

Oh wow is that what this Supreme Court is doing I had no idea. Maybe if you keep fawning over it and treating it like a legitimate institution and writing sternly worded posts about it, instead of getting the obvious clue that you're in a fight for existence, that'll help.

Joe Biden is an active, enthusiastic supporter of genocide, in word and deed, and I will not vote for him, under any circumstance, for that reason.

I'm not voting for him because of his unequivocal support for genocide, end of. I cannot bring myself to tick that box. I deplore that the system is so shit and so many people will die, but I cannot bring myself to cast a vote for an architect of genocide. Maybe I am not the actual problem here.

Fin Dwyer recently pointed out how by the 1840s, much of the Irish population didn't even know how to make bread anymore because the subsistence potato monoculture had destroyed our foodways.

David Tennets approach to trans rights being as visceral and outraged as most of us is a refreshing thing to see compared to the loser celebs that just wear a shirt and deny it when backpedaling. He is risking his career to recognize humanity and that’s the energy we need from celebrities.

"Joe Biden is an unequivocal supporter of genocide of the Palestinian people" is where it begins and ends for me. Obviously so is the other one but I won't be voting for either.

So, anyway, don’t vote Labour. They’re going to win anyway and the Tories are screwed, so if you’re trans or an ally the least you can do is lodge a protest vote with the Lib Dems or the Greens or Plaid or whoever the fuck.

I’ve been on periphery of “tech critical journalism” for about a decade and its so defeating to see media be so oblivious it. just takes a little AI hype and they’re soft balling the same grifters again.

The fact that we only see internal videos of IDF war crimes because the soldiers involved think they're funny and share them too widely, and that this happens so often that we end up seeing dozens of these videos every month without fail, makes me feel completely insane.
