The whole British government and media loves Maccabi Tel Aviv fans! The far right football fans that love to cause violence! *5 minutes later* We regret to inform you the Maccabi Tel Aviv fans are far right and have caused violence

WHEN THERE’S TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Oh wow. Yes, very clever! Waterfall treasure! No one’s ever done that before. Lazy jackass

WHEN THERE’S NO TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Wow. Too stuck-up to put treasure there huh? Too much of a fucking ICONOCLAST for that? Piece of shit. FUCK you

“I’m old enough to remember when mainstream British politicians, who should know better, stirred up racial hatred as a path to power. You’re old enough to remember too because it was last Tuesday. And it was Robert Jenrick”

Cathartic anger at flag-flying racism.

Stewart Lee: The thugs have taken my flag. So I’ve taken theirs

What do you do with a lot of cheap banners hanging from motorway bridges once you’ve torn them down?

Thinking Person's Guide to Autism @thinkingautism.com · 24d

Autism is not a disease.
You can’t cure autism.

"Some people don’t care what we want. They want a cure for autism, and they spend a lot of time and money looking for it. This is bad for autistic people. People should spend time and money helping us live good lives."

Words by @autisticadvocacy.org.

This reminds me of there was this Scooby Doo film on telly the other day, where Scoob has far too many actual spoken lines and the guy doing the voice clearly has a talent for it but is frequently forced into uncharted territory when he has to sustain it for the length of a whole cohesive sentence

I enjoyed it more and more as it went on, especially once I started to master the combat. Especially good as a first effort, kind of came out of nowhere!

Keep thinking about this bit from @garbageday.email. "The American right wing finally gets to be the victims they’ve always seen themselves as."

A heinous looking cartoon Zuckerberg in the Metaverse, 2022, deadeyed, no legs, cartoons of Eiffel Tower and Sagrada Familia in the bg and some kind of huge marshmallowish green hills in the far distance

Whereabouts are you? I'm in the final act (I think) and fully all in at this point. Feels like an alternate universe Final Fantasy X

Mute Branches / James @mutebranches.bsky.social · Sep 13

they should hang something cool off lamp posts like the album cover of In the Wake of Poseidon by King Crimson

its funny to be ruled by internet-brained idiots like this, when anyone with a passing familiarity of this internet political moment knew instinctively this was going to be an incoherent brain rotted gamer white boy who sees politics and violence as entertainment

Even a shite photo taken on a phone and not edited at all looks better than any AI cover I've seen, they always just look so route one and uninspired

I have every bit as much compassion for Charlie Kirk being shot by some random person as he would have if it had been me.

There's a Popeye's opening in my town and a.) I thought the logo was a chicken, not the big man himself, b.) his pipe is sticking out of a separate hole in his chin? That's 🤖 right?
