Most British people can name some things they like about American culture. For example, I like Superman. And Rupert Lowe likes trivialising the murder of schoolchildren for the sake of the gun lobby.

My concern about Count Binface is that if he's going to do actual photo ops around Clacton, how is he sipposed to wear a hardhat?

Me: See, they don't actually think sharks are smooth, but by insisting that they are, they are baiting people into wasting their time arguing that they're not. Genghis Khan, looking at my smartphone: Yes, it is like a feigned retreat I would use to exhaust a witless foe in pursuing my horsemen.

Why does Fox News act like Lex Luthor, fictional character, owns them? #supergirl

Russia wants us to believe that the "criminal regime" of a "fake country" slipped through the entire Russian security apparatus and managed to drop a bomb on the Head of State's residence. In any other country, somebody would get fired for that. Putin should thank god he's still alive! /s

If you want to know how to make Elon Musk respect you, the European Commission fining him a pittance makes him call for the EU's abolition, while Russia banning/restricting X makes him shill for Russian politicians and protect them from fact-checking. He will always show his belly at a real threat.

Republicans are more mad at the people who don't care Charlie Kirk is dead than they are at the guy who killed him.

John Cthulhu @mark1automaton.bsky.social · 13/09/2025

The government responding to Charlie Kirks' death by persecuting leftists and minorities is telling the far right that if they want to efficiently inflict violence on minorities and leftists, all they need to do is keep assassinating mainstream right-wingers. The state will do the violence for them.

You know, if half of the people that went on to do school shootings instead assassinated Internet pundits and political influencers, would the world really be made worse?

#Superman was a very, very silly movie in the best way possible. Will definitely be watching it again in cinemas at least two more times.

Demolition Man is a kaiju movie. "Mothra/Wesley Snipes is attacking our city and we are powerless to stop them, they are too powerful/problematic for our conventional methods. We must awaken Godzilla/Sylvester Stallone to do battle with them."

Locals wouldn't dream of doing anything in the day. Why, when nights on Europa last 44 hours? If you deployed nearside you at least had Jovelight to help pick out the fissures and craters, but farside all you had above you was infinite stars, and they gave you nothing. #icewar #warforever

Wrestling is incredible. It has these characters called "heels" that say and do bad things, but the audience knows it's part of the show so they still like it. I wish we had heels in other forms of media.

The facts are that the Pope was an 88 year old man who'd just had an operation. But we're in an age of alternative facts, and the alternative fact is that J.D. Vance can literally kill people with how unpleasant he is to talk to.

It's not fair. Why do these people get to be so old, so rich, and so often go to such elite schools, and have staffs of people to tell them what's going on in the world, and yet understand so little about anything?

Apparently, saying you'd like to piss on JD Vance's shoes is a "credible threat of violence" on Reddit and gets you a permaban.

I've started running, to help get my body in shape. What I've learned from my first run is that I hate running. However, I hate JD Vance more, so when the pain gets too much I will be sure to think of him.

If we somehow are able to help #Ukraine and #Europe forge an acceptable peace, we will treat some of the heroes of Ukraine with trips to Savile Row. Maybe they'll be well-dressed enough for the Americans then?

If there’s one thing associated with powerlessness, it’s banks. It is a good thing for US power if we are no longer the bank of the world. I had my banker clean my apartment and wash my car today because he’s a little bitch.

I know I'm human. And if you were all these things, then you'd just attack me right now, so some of you are still human. This thing doesn't want to show itself, it wants to hide inside an imitation. It'll fight if it has to, but it's vulnerable out in the open. If it takes us over, then it has won.
