Another case of the Right attempting comedy and it being hilarious but not for the reasons they intended.

Drawing your enemies as a hook-nosed caricature as the party deeply rooted in racism and white supremacy is a bad look.

You mixed up the wording. It's "the conservatives don't have a problem with antisemitism"

It's hilarious how these people can decide that they are or aren't part of the English culture when it suits them. They're both the Romano-British and the Britons, saxons and the Britons, Danes and the saxons, saxons and Normans. They just pick which winner or underdog that suits them that day.

Tories use AI to make weird fashy art. (If this turns out not to be AI then it's even worse. It would be embarrassing for a human)

The US military are perennial losers, they'll definitely lose against their own people when half the troops will refuse to follow orders

He's actually making the point that Ron Swanson, a parody of right wing libertarian masculinity, made on a comedy show.

We really need to stop blindly following the US into wars. You'd have thought with the disasters of Iraq and Afghanistan, we'd have tried to extract ourselves from these ridiculous commitments. Now Trump's dragging Europe into a war he keeps losing. Time for a "NATO with the US".

My job in 2019: "Make porn sites work better, so adults who pay money to view porn will want to pay money to view porn." My Job in 2026: "Draft a compliance plan for Eastwestern Tennabamaho's new 'porn sites confirm viewer's blood type every 10 seconds' law, so Visa doesn't drone-strike my house"

Why is it the utter failures who spend so much time reeling about people out here actually being part of society. I've had a better impact on the world on any given day of my life than she has had in her "journalism" "career"

Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

I'm going to start bringing iced coffee to interviews on purpose so the kind of asshole boss who'd have a pissbaby meltdown over a drink can filter themselves out of the pool of employers who I'd consider giving the opportunity to hire me.

Less of a typo and more of a common mixup: capital vs corporal punishment leading to phrases like "the argument for capital punishment in schools"

It's really refreshing seeing shitey normal working class life depicted like this in a game, and a Silent Hill game no less. Pebble-dashed council flats, three-bar fires, Post Office counters, concrete shopping precincts. This must be how posh people felt playing Everybody's Gone to the Rapture.
The inside of a council flat.A brutalist concrete shopping precinct.A block of council flats.A Post Office (well, 'Post Service') counter.

The more common use I see is people referring to OnlyFans or similar as their "spicy site". Which, sure, I get - most social media is ridiculously hostile to sex workers existing - but it still sounds off.

"spicy" to me might be a risqué photon of someone in a swimsuit or whatever but it's really weird hearing it used to describe hardcore porn. I know that it's generally - rightly or wrongly - self-censorshop thinking that an algorithm cna be tricked but it's still weirdly twee.

These people would hate performance and installation art too. They just think it should all be oil paintings from dead Europeans.

Why would that matter? That's obviously a terrible thing. But this photo ISN'T ABOUT THE KLAN. It's literally the star logo projected and someone holding the shoes. In the uncropped photo (not the one disingenuously cropped to make it look bad) it's clearly, obviously someone holding shoes.
