We live in an era where our software is deteriorating.

Musk shouldn't scare us, despite that he's not right in the head, 80% of us are shaking our heads at his unbalanced self parody act.

It's the 20% desperate to believe him that scare me.

They're the problem. What's gone wrong with them? Ditto the Reformers putting up their ridiculous flags. Why ?

I had about 26k followers on X. I deleted my account after Space Nazi's double Sieg Heil without hesitation. It's a lot quieter and lonelier over here, but franky, I DGAF.

Anyone still on X is overdue a long, hard look at themselves.

Elon Musk, "These lovely small towns in England, Scotland and Ireland, they've been living their lives quietly. They're like hobbits"

"And so one day, 1,000 people show up in your village of 500 and start raping the kids"

Nine near fatal stabbings on a train by two knife wielding maniacs: Not terror related at all.

Some pensioners peacefully walking with placards in London: definitely terrorism.

The utter incompetence of this ridiculous government just beggars belief.

What with Corbyn's/ Sultana's lot, desperate to take us out of NATO and these two goons with their determination to leave ECHR, we're beset.

Putin would love either or both of those to occur.

Roland Butter @rolandbutter.bsky.social · 1d

There's nothing "left wing" about this version of Labour. This is a government devoted to private enterprise, to big multinationals, to making the rich richer.

Anyone still supporting @uklabour.bsky.social right now is a traitor to the left.

The US really is a barbaric place, in part. It never stopped being, really.

I had to read this several times to believe it - in 34 states, child marriage still legal; in 4 states, with NO minimum age- provided one parent and a judge consent. Usually girls. Often, for pseudo religious reasons, including to avoid an abortion after rape 😡😡😡. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/01/o...

Your one hope is the sanity of your military, and the desire of its seniors to right the wrong.

Not sure if it's a fond hope.

Underway, is it? Oh right...

Didn't twitter moot this years ago and it never happened?

UK police a bunch of far right creeps, in the main.

Violence over street flags continues. A 68-year-old was brutally attacked and hospitalised while trying to take banners down, yet despite retrieving evidence from a house, police took no further action.

You have got to find this impressive.

The Green Party polling second, nationally.
Ahead of Labour and the Tories.

Labour picked a fight with those that supported what they once were.
The Tories just picked a fight with everyone.
Neither the Tories or Labour have your back.

yeah, right... And my cock's a kipper.

We rent out a property, our agents wouldn't dream of offering such things, it's up to the landlord.

Roland Butter @rolandbutter.bsky.social · 3d

Well she wasnt an MP at the time, that may be pertinent,

I consider it renders her unsuitable to be Tory leader though, it wasn;t some lighthearted jape. She's a crook.

Roland Butter @rolandbutter.bsky.social · 3d

Actually It had been illegal for centuries, the involvement of Victoria in legislation is almost certainly a myth.

Roland Butter @rolandbutter.bsky.social · 3d

It strikes me that Starmer is expending a lot more effort defending Reeves than he did defending Rayner.

He's clearly leaned on the letting agency big time.

Lee Anderson and his cohort are living in the 1970s, a world that no longer exists except in their minds, where 30p would feed a family for a day, disabled pensioners drove 3 wheeler invacars and you could unjustly blame 'foreigners' for everything and victimise them, and cops looked the other way.

So she's been "told" to ge by "senior Tories", huh?

That's an oxymoron. ALL Tories are junior these days, they are a rump party enjoying less popular support than most other parties nationally.

Politics latest: Reeves told she has to go after breaking housing law - but PM defies calls to sack her

The chancellor is under fire from opponents after admitting she broke the law when renting out her home. Rachel Reeves has apologised and Keir Starmer says an investigation is not needed, but the issu...

Dunno, baffling. Maybe it's because the person setting up the camera hasn't composed the shot, like if a fox runs across an hour later, and triggers the pir, it's just happenstance, or luck.

I guess with time lapse, they have composed it in a sense.

Roland Butter @rolandbutter.bsky.social · 4d

I think it must be. It's like time lapse photography, it's still classed as photography. The photographer sets it up but doesn't hang around.

We should never forget that, unlike all previous HoC speakers, Jonn Bercow was denied a peerage by a vindictive rump of Tories, for taking them to task over the prorogation of parliament and other corruption scandals.

Of course, they faked up some slurs against him to justify it.

Silly sod up to his voting shenanigans again.

He never learns.

Peter Walker @peterwalker99.bsky.social · 5d

I’m told Labour MPs have been told by whips to *abstain* in the vote on Nigel Farage’s ten-min rule bill on leaving the ECHR, which has left some furious. Whips’ arguments seems to be to just ignore it. Labour MPs worry it leaves Lib Dems/Greens looking like only they care on this.

Roland Butter @rolandbutter.bsky.social · 6d

Couldn't agree more. By publishing this naive, hysterical nonsense, this party demonstrates itself utterly unworthy of election and indeed unsupportable in general afaic

Luke McGee @lukemcgee.bsky.social · 6d

The moderate left needs to challenge this kind of nonsense. NATO is a diminished alliance that is finding its feet at a critical moment – pushing back against an actual imperialist power.

Good god, there's so much money in them beans!
