I don't know who put the setting in place, and I'd hoped to share this positively, but restricting replies AND quote replies is fucking stupid. I can only repost? If you want your ego stroked and don't want anyone else involved just jack off in front of a mirror or something

This is the same guy who was convinced that Iran would have nuclear weapons by 1995, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2010, 2011, 2013,2015 and 2025 I'm gonna say his ability to predict things his enemies will do is woeful at best

Nothing encapsulates the changes to the job market over the last century than the story of Fred Turner, ex-CEO of McDonalds In 1956 he was 23 years old, fresh out of the army and got a job as a grill operator at a burger joint. By 1958 he was OPERATIONS VICE PRESIDENT OF A 34 RESTAURANT BUSINESS

I really hope this isn't actually their plans for the universal theme park. Beyond even more fucking HP shit (like their massive WB studio tour isn't enough), who curated this? WATERWORLD????? It's bizarre they still have that at existing parks let alone one they're building new

This is actually quite good in terms of keeping the self-declared right wing out of power (Labour are right leaning too but pretend they're not) A split right wing vote is a dead one in FPTP.

I have heard the phrase "family is really important to me as a XXX" (where XXX is normally a nationality) many times and it has always bugged me a bit - I'm pretty sure family is important globally. In general. Across the board.

As this is due to venues threatening to cancel the gigs (not Ed Sheeran) I think it's safe to conclude that these venues are explicitly pro-genocide, and should be named and shamed as such

Quick reminder any "left wing" content creator that spends their time going to hard-right areas/events, talking to hard-right voters, who makes a big deal about "oh we should listen to these people, not be mean or dismissive" - they are NOT interested in progressing left wing politics.

one of the longest running blunders of the left is the lack of pushback on AND the voluntary use of the word "offensive" A bad smell is offensive, chewing with your mouth open is offensive, but bigotry? Fascism? Immorality? Cruely? These are harmful, dangerous, lethal...not "offensive"

Donald Tusk, A CONSERVATIVE, has the right response "Only idiots or traitors can rejoice at the triumph of the AfD in Germany" Meanwhile France's Europe minister has the exact response I'd expect from a spineless liberal, waffling about listening to the people voting for the AfD. IT DOESNT WORK

Having caught a glimpse of the HBO Harry Potter series, unintentionally, the thing that strikes me the most is how much it looks like the existing films. Like they haven't really done anything to set it apart at all. Looking forward to this cast of children all growing up to call Rowling a terf too

So much of the discourse around climate change comes back to "China pollutes most, so why should any western country feel bad for doing nothing?" Consider, if I pay you to put my trash in your bins, is it fair for me to say "You create the most trash, look at how many bins full of trash you have"?

As US midterms approach, Hasan Piker coverage is fascinating BUT the most fascinating aspect is how often pundits/commentators dismiss him by saying "he's a streamer" Guys, you have THE SAME JOB. Sitting in front of a camera reporting news, interviewing guests, sharing your opinion? SOUND FAMILIAR?

Here's a question - what are right wing women up to? I don't mean ultra right ring maga/reform women, they're doing the same cult shit their male equivalents are. I mean regular, conservative women. Cos I broadly know what leftwing men and women are doing, same thing for right wing men...but women?

In the end Farage only managed 63% of the vote, which IS embarrassing no matter how reform try and spin it, which is 10% less than he was predicted to get and avoid 20% less than any serious politician should have got given he had zero opposition from any other politician.

Some people might say that correlation doesn't mean causation, which is fair, but I'm going to suggest that this spike existing right as the solar eclipse peaked correlates with why democracy keeps failing to secure a better present or future

I've never understood this kind of phrasing. "Routine" implies it's not noteworthy, but there are no non-noteworthy reasons to have heart procedures. May as well say "routine amputation" or "routine induced coma"

One of the dumbest things I've seen people say about the sex-based toilet bollocks is "just add another toilet for them" These people would rather society spend tens of millions adding a toilet almost no one will use rather than be potentially near a trans person, and then call it "common sense"

The right continue their long standing tradition of being several decades behind the curve, being too slow to correct themselves, claiming that actually they were never wrong In the first place and still blaming the left (who have been correct from the start) for "being too ideological"

If you ever wanted MORE evidence our current means of electing politicians makes no sense and is unfit for purpose? Try this! Lib Dems and greens get the same % of the total vote, but the lib Dems would get MORE THAN QUINTUPLE the amount of seats and therefore political influence

Maybe I'm just stupid, but I have been hearing for, what, 3-4 months now, that Iran's military has been vaporised by the US. Now there's an implication they have the ability to reach out and attack the UK from another continent 4000 miles away? How long before someone mentions a dossier?

Just in case you're wondering, because Farage et al dont have the brown/foreigner card to play, they're accusing this guy of being a "far left activist". The evidence? Farage apparently remembers every single fat, balding, neckbeared, bespectacled white man that calls him a cunt
