Left-leaning Brit, less than thrilled with how Labour are going about doing things... He/him
I suspect there's some recency bias in there as well

I've never used LinkedIn before, but when my employer went under last year, I created an account to help with job hunting

I lasted a week before deleting it

I've no idea what it was like originally (presumably actually useful), but I'm guessing it's a prime example of enshittification

I would take any one of these dogs over a million ICE agents.

Fuck ICE

Abolish. Arrest. Prosecute.

"cognitive amplifier"??

It's been shown that people using AI to for everyday tasks have lost actual brain function. The brain is like a muscle - use it or lose it. So apart from encouraging suicide, undressing children, and lying about known facts, it's damaging brains

'slop' is us being nice

If she'd been Muslim *and white*, they'd have used that as further evidence that she'd been brainwashed and another reason to go extract her

Fundamentally, it's because she's brown. If she'd been white, they'd have contorted their reasoning into whatever shape necessary to excuse her actions

If she'd been a blonde blue-eyed pretty white girl, the racists would have been demanding the govt send in the SAS to forcibly extract her and bring her home. It was ONLY ever about her being non-white

The party of Epstein defenders that wants to go into schools to look at kids' genitals is now breaking into childcare centers and demanding to see toddlers

Anyone identifying as a Republican should be assumed to be a pedophile. End of discussion.

Really not sure how someone writes an entire article about MAGA-turning rappers, spends half the article on Minaj, yet somehow completely fails to mention this *at all*

*I am actually pro-porn, but I do think that porn can cause problems by shifting what is perceived as normal and acceptable (average erect dick size is about 5 to 5 & 1/2 inches, anal sex used to be experimental not expected, physical abuse during sex is NOT de rigueur, and incest is bad, okay)

I have a personal theory that one of the several ways in which mainstream commercial porn has damaged society* is by damaging porn-watching men's self-esteem and playing up their insecurity (thus causing these men to overcompensate through violence) due to the prevalence of over-sized dicks in porn

Pretty sure @ironspike.bsky.social has a similar story with her Iron Circus Comics Kickstarters

Twitter is effectively dead as a marketing tool. It's a zombie platform at this point (a zombie in a Nazi costume at that) and is shuffling along waiting to be put out of our misery

I ask questions out of terror that *she* will ask *me* questions and my essential boringness and lack of interesting details will be revealed...

(Also, I'm apparently a pretty good listener and ask questions that show I'm listening, seemingly a rare trait amongst my fellow men😮‍💨)

Oh sure, cuz the existing regulations couldn't possibly exist for any good reason. I'm sure we can ditch them for simpler ones without any consequences and everything will be juuuuuust fine...

of course it's real. unless I've hallucinated my childhood...

which, come to think of it, would explain a few things

Sure. Because we feel shame. Clearly, his supporters don't or can't

And then there are those who are using Trump to further their own evil desires eg. Stephen Miller, a man who would not have been an iota out of place if he'd been serving under the Fuhrer 90 years ago

If I had to choose between someone who follows adult film performers & OF models and someone who follows Nazis & white supremacists, I'm going to go with the former every single time

Most adult film performers & OF models seem like pretty cool people. Why *wouldn't* we follow them?

If frustrated incels wanna get laid, they should be upping their game and re-making themselves into someone who is worth getting laid, instead of being lazy pricks and demanding others lower their standards and hand out pity fucks 😠
