I work on a university campus, overlooking the main square. This comes with a certain amount of noise; protests, the occasional charity fundraiser with people cheering, that sort of thing. I don't really hold it against anyone as universities are supposed to be lively places. Today though there's a ...

So New York just elected a new mayor. He's Muslim, born in Uganda, and incredibly progressive. He's already been described as a "true extremist and Marxist" by the Republican Speaker of the House. I've not seen Trump talking about him yet (though apparently he's threatened to cut New York's federal ...

The evil bastard would probably be considered a moderate now.

The warmongering bastard called Trump 'the greatest threat to our republic ever' and quite publicly voted for the Democrats in the last election. If that's not a ringing endorsement of your statement I don't know what is.

Part of me wonders whether they're still expecting more to come out about Andrew, because removing his "Prince" title seems like a surprisingly strong step for the Royals. The statement the palace issued is pretty strongly worded for an institution that tends to look after its own. I don't feel like...

"....there was another man who knew how bad windmills are. Arnold. Palmer. You know Arnold Palmer? Now there was a man. He was all man you know, they say the other pros went into the shower and were like, "Wow, Arnold, oh my god that's incredible." I tell my guys at the Department of War, make it li...

It's alright, the Tsar Bomba detonation was at least 20 minutes ago, I don't think he has the attention span or sufficient knowledge of history to actually care.

Now if Obama had tested the biggest nuclear weapon ever made, then we'd have to worry.

It wouldn’t surprise me if they’re using literal nuclear explosions as a distraction for other hideous things they intend to do, so they get buried in the news cycle. I have at a number of points considered whether Trump would start a global thermonuclear war with Russia rather than go to prison re...

It's 2025, and of course Trump is restarting the nuclear arms race. Why wouldn't he? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gzq2p0yk4o What exactly does he think will be accomplished by this? We know the payloads work, they're a mature technology now. Doing it because Russia tested a nuclear capable...

Oh I know, and that's ridiculous in itself (I pay half that for a connection I very rarely max out from BT), I was just meaning they have colossal amounts of income.

What the actual fuck is Sky doing as a business? They're getting paid £70 a month for TV by millions of people and still absolutely filling their air time, which is more valuable because of the number of people signed up, with adverts. Losing the odd person that can actually be bothered to go throu...

It's telling that I genuinely don't know if that's a real quote or not.

Edit: Hah, didn't see Mantis' post until I wrote this. We're all in the same boat aren't we, and that boat is sinking.

The White House also posted an AI-generated image of Trump wearing Mjolnir armour. Trump couldn't fit into three suits of Mjolnir armour, nevermind one.

God, having your work co-opted by a disgrace of a regime like that must be so disheartening.

While you wait for me to start the adventure, here's a cool video showing what RCD life could be like:

Apologies for butting into your thread, but that may be one of the most oppressively miserable videos I've ever watched. It's genuinely impressive.

And naturally now that it's in the national press, they've u-turned. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cg435gg66gpo The damage is done. I'm glad this particular person is off the hook, but this had better start a conversation about what's appropriate to fine someone for. Don't get me wrong, I don'...

The sheer gall of a government organisation fining a member of the public for pouring a little bit of coffee down a drain when water companies aren't successfully being penalised for pumping raw sewage for thousands of hours into the same waterways the council are pretending to protect. It's mind-bl...
