Fuck me. That's actually quite specific and current. Maybe I should give the good book another spin.

Minority representation on TV causes outrage

There has been widespread support for prominent Reform MP
Sarah Pochin after she complained about the over-representation of minorities on television.
Said one angry viewer, "She's right. Every time you turn on the telly there's another Reform MP being interviewed by Laura Kuenssberg."
She added, "I respect their way of life and their strange customs, but Reform MPs comprise only 0.7 percent of the House of Commons. Yet Nigel Farage is on Question Time more than Fiona Bruce."
"I'm not prejudiced. Some of my best friends are swivel-eyed loons, but enough is enough.
There are too many people with angry red faces on television.”

When 14% of people don't have affordable access to nutritious food in the wealthiest nation in the history of everything, someone needs to take a closer look at our idea of capitalism.

I'm confused. Are you a traitor to your country or to the far left. Also, is it wise to have 2 flags after your name while accusing people of treachery?

So decline in labor force growth due to ICE and decline in labor demand due to tariffs. And both due to Trump.

Winning.

At this rate, I'd say we're about a year away from people who displease the tangerine land hippo mysteriously falling from top floor windows.

Your daily reminder that the government continues to commercially support an individual who wants to destroy it through fascist violence.

X is a cesspit led by an unhinged billionaire who is desperately trying to stir up civil war in Britain.

Nobody with any sense or decency should be there.

No organisations, government departments, or politicians should be there.

Everyone who is, is enabling this monster.

Despicable behavior from Israel. Will NOBODY think of DJT's peace prize?

I'm a bit surprised Trump would willingly do the narration to a video clip implying he's a pedo. What a good sport.

Something tells me the student loan forgiveness isn't the biggest draw in the ICE recruitment drive. Just a hunch.

And yet, those disheveled, sorry-looking St. George Crosses & Union Jacks were once bright and vibrant until the racists intervened. Pretty decent metaphor for the state of our country.

Lucky for everyone, I have an up-close of Platner's tattoo right here. And it's worse than we imagined.

Heil hope.

An unfortunate tattoo saying "Hope", when turned upside down says "adolf".

Institutionalized Dunning-Kruger is why we spent the last two days deliberating over the finer points of Trump's F-16 skat video.

twitter is making mainstream reporters dumber, and because they're all getting dumber together, none of them can recognize it and they actually think they're getting smarter

That Hemingway quote, about going bankrupt slowly, then suddenly - I think that's a thing in many unrelated aspects of life & society. Supports your tipping point hypothesis, certainly.

"But are the flags that now bedeck our suburbs and estates patriotic or racist? It’s a nuanced notion unlikely to be adequately interrogated in a world where the main forum for public debate is an algorithmically amplified digital dogfighting pit presided over by a ketamine-cranked egomaniac."

“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.

How should we respond to these allegations? Via Signal, Truth Social or 747 with a bow on top?

He's right. Israel did not replicate the barbarism of the enemy. They multiplied it like a drunk Jesus with a basket of fish.
