Re: The Absolute State Of It - It's The UK Politics Thread!

https://www.thenerve.news/p/palantir-technologies-uk-government-contracts-size-nuclear-deterrent-atomic-peter-thiel-louis-mosley The fact that the cunts named the company after the evil ball from LoTR that let's the evil overlord see everything should have been a subtle clue to how shady these cunt...

Re: Aaand, In Other News...

I was going to make a joke about Donald threatening the UK with sanctions as a result, but I don't think he cares about his wife any more than we do.

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series

Jesus, that's depressing; quality of writing taking a backseat to engagement. I shouldn't be surprised I guess. One of the bigger laughs I've had in the recent series of Rick and Morty was them subverting the "Here's the plan" trope. They had the voiceover of the planning phase with the actual event...

Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan

People that put their recycling out for collection when there are 50mph winds. Like, I get it, if you don't put them out they're definitely not getting collected, but they're also definitely not getting collected when they've inevitably been blown loose down the street because not even a wheelie bin...

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series

I really liked season 5 too, though the overall impression I've been getting is that many thought it was just "fine".

Re: The Absolute State Of It - It's The UK Politics Thread!

Honestly at this point I think we're maybe two or three weeks away from them announcing Liz Truss. Oh look, an article written by Nigel Farage not two months ago entitled "Never, ever trust the Tories": https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/12/01/never-ever-trust-the-tories/ Jesus christ the satiris...

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

Well hot damn. The NRA should be protesting it.... But they won't.... I utterly detest the NRA, they're one of the very worst things about the United States, but I'm impressed that they actually took a stance here - honestly anything that makes their enormous influence-base question the tangerine ty...

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

The Beeb quoted the US Border Patrol commander talking about the incident. ... "The victims are the border patrol agents." He adds that the Second Amendment right to bear arms "don't count when you riot... and disrupt law enforcement". While it's been abundantly clear that the US gun nuts don't actu...

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

They were pistol whipping the guy, as far as I can tell in the head just before the first shot is fired. And then two of the big damn heroes stand back and put multiple rounds into a man lying on his back on the ground.

The United States is absolutely fucked.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BPuQ2y_hbc The next Star Wars animated series got a trailer last night. It's set in the Post-Clone Wars, Pre-Galactic Civil War era, and honestly I'm not sure where the story's going to go. For those that haven't watched any of the animated stuff (which I maintain wa...

Re: General Gaming News

It's a valid concern given how manic Microsoft's leadership seem to be with putting AI everywhere their customers don't want, but I agree, nothing in that looked like generative AI to me.

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

Part of me wonders whether there's been some sort of agreement to get him the Nobel Prize next year. I feel like the only tactic Europe have left that could drown out his puppeteers is appeasing his ego, and he clearly thinks he deserves one despite his being against everything the prize stands for....

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

EDIT 2 - Now this is potentially interesting. With regards to Greenland, he just said "You can say yes and we'll be very grateful, or you can say no and we'll remember." Is that the first sign of him backing down? As in he won't actually do anything but sulk? Trump's memory is only the last 60 seco...

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

This has generally been the case with American leadership visiting European conferences over the last year. They're not saying it for the immediate audience, they're saying it so that they can get some soundbites on Fox News and the story can be "Trump shows Europe why everything they're doing is wr...
