lol.

‘Tis the season once again

UK govt can get information about your bank accounts if you get universal credit, pension credit, employment support allowance. Court order not needed. You won't be told, can't appeal. Same won't apply to enablers of illicit financial flows. No financial privacy for old, poor, sick, unfortunate.

She got a private sit down with the first Labour prime minister since 2010. She funds groups who have changed literal laws. She’s got a 2 part documentary coming. She has so much money she set up a foundation to defend people from lawsuits. What is not elite about that you fucking morons.

For Anthropic’s IPO they released an ARR which usually means “annual recurring revenue” where a company adds up all the income they’ll get every year as a baseline for profitability. Only, the small print showed it was a Annualised Run Rate where they’d taken their most profitable day times 365.

I'm not kidding, the guy simply has to be at the very least deported at the end of this. If we're doing "he's not from here" shit, he is the most not from here guy alive. He needs jail or deportation the second it's viable to do it.

we need you to rename rent to $500/ month and gas to $2/ gallon

suddenly that friendship with cheryl hines not looking so strange.

why do we bash "dead beat" children for not being there for their parents but we never question if the parent has bad vibes? or if they're just unpleasant to be around?

The big Burnham PR blitz was about assuring people they are nice actually and won’t do that stuff any more but you can see this week that all of the worst shit is still fully in force, and the most depraved culture warring cranks are still in full control of the Labour Party.

The Labour government continues to harm trans people for absolutely no reason other than transphobes wanting this policy. This policy will kill people. The NHS is being weaponised to kill people.

Increasingly, after reading about the latest oligarch or billionaire tech-bros travesty, I find myself idly researching the cultural and social history of guillotines.

Ah the ever impartial BBC🙄 Where’s the documentary about the erosion of trans people’s rights, healthcare, the discrimination & relentless hostility they face? They are voiceless but sure lets collectively pretend this isn’t reputation washing ahead of the Potter reboot FUCK OFF! #transrights

Man in a gilet stood on platform 12 gives up on reading the display and asks ChatGPT out loud if he is on the right platform for his train. I don’t want to be dramatic about it but Eratosthenes figured out the circumference of the Earth using a stick and knowledge of a distant well.

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

We already have proof of concept: it is entirely possible to sell genocide and ethnic cleansing to the British public, and to simply crush any opposition. Whether that could now move on to e.g. black vans and roundups here is another matter, but that shit is well underway in America. So, why not?

Moral equivalence is something different maybe but in practice Zionism has been almost identical to what Nick Griffin believed in

Bears clap as continuation of shit in woods policy confirmed.

Lost 4 stone recently and just had the awful realisation that this may extend my life expectancy. Off for a pie and a tab...

Ahh, unlucky mate. Turns out trans healthcare is still the scientifically and morally correct thing to do. I assume you'll be apologising now? Not sure why you thought the last 5 years would be different to the nearly 100 before that but ok

The reduction of politics to voting is part of the 50 year neoliberal project whose foremost goal is to make you think of yourself as an atomized individual and not as a member of a polity.

If you've ever wondered why your vote seems to accomplish so little, I think you can blame the near-abolition of small p politics by Big P politicians of every stripe.

The White House accord on AI that was signed by all the big tech oligarchs today misspells United States as “Unites States.”

you shouldn’t learn about bands from shady TikTok manipulation, you should learn about bands by hanging out with a girl you like but are also extremely afraid of

There's a moment early on that's just footage of Elon Musk balding and in khakis walking down an office hallway in the late 90s and the entire audience burst out laughing. If Musk is made aware of audience reactions like this I think he might actually crash out.

Today I saw the new 4 hour documentary Musk, directed by Alex Gibney. There were too many times to count that a sold out theater burst out laughing at Elon Musk, something he said or did, even sometimes just how he looked. I believe that is his worst nightmare come to life.

Basic income’s appeal today is similar to its roots in 18th-century England – it’s a way to compensate people for a common good taken for private gain theconversation.com/basic-income...

If people spending taxpayers money on alcohol is such an undeniable problem, I assume they also plan to permanently close the House of Commons bar?

Not a dicky bird about thugs trying to sink a dinghy with a rescue worker on board or their claims to be "forming an army". Two boats of people seeking safety land and bingo bango they're the ones portrayed as the issue. Labour is complict in the rise of the far right. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

(1)A sign Burnham's "counter Russian disinformation" plan is bad -the "2019 general election interference " was a leak/hack of US-UK trade talks showing parts of the NHS would be sacrificed to get US trade. But these documents were real, not fake.:Wes Streeting recently agreed a version of the deal!
