  And having bishops in the House of Lords puts the UK on a par with Iran

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨mmmm yes undoubtedly⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  These days, as a British subject, you’d be smoking crack in a hoody and knockoff Burberry cap, bruv.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Woody Allen rebuts Ukrainian condemnation over Moscow film festival appearance⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  If only there had been some sign that Woody Allen might not be a person of sound ethics…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bands pull out from festival after group 'cut off' over Palestine flag⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Soon, Irish artists will have to put up a £1M bond which they forfeit if they mention Palestine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨makes more sense than this shit⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, in the parallel universe in which David Bowie and Prince didn’t die, they play at Hillary Clinton’s inauguration

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is empathy a sin? Some conservative Christians argue it can be⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And so, Christianity completes its transformation into Anton LaVey-era Satanism

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tubi TV⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  File alongside classics like Shaving Ryan’s Privates.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Facing troop shortage, Israeli army looks to deserters and the diaspora⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If that doesn’t work, they can set up a foreign legion. They can advertise on the Berlin U-Bahn, informing passengers that joining is a way of coming to terms with inherited Holocaust guilt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FreeVPN.One Chrome extension spies on you, delete it immediately⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  As a Ukrainian proverb goes, the only free cheese is in the mousetrap.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Benjamin Netanyahu says Anthony Albanese 'betrayed' Israel⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  With the right, it’s always projection.

  Also makes a handy melee weapon in a pinch

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you trust your VPN? How Facebook turned a VPN into a surveillance engine⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The first one should be the other way around. (As the Ukrainian proverb says, the only free cheese is in the mousetrap.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Super Weaner⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Or in the Linnean taxonomy, chungus

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Researchers asked AI to show a typical Australian dad: he was white and had an iguana⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The iguana man could plausibly be of First Nations heritage.

  Also, would it really be “typical Australian” if there was neither a beach nor red-earthed countryside and no large, weird-looking and possibly dangerous wildlife? That’s how you tell that the people in the picture are Australian and not from any modern westernised country.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Australia, why are you still obsessed with freeways – when they’re driving us away from net zero?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Because Australia wants to be America when it grows up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose one before starting the game...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Or go to Britain and get both

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where is he going, chat?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Presumably, the reasoning goes, a falling cat would choose the deck of a Japanese warship over the open water.

  In any case, they got a bit further along with dropping bombs filled with small bats implanted with incendiary explosives, which would then roost in wooden buildings. That project was only cancelled when they had atom bombs working.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where is he going, chat?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  During WW2, the US explored using cats on parachutes to guide bombs to targets. The idea never was put into practice, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Damn it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Or a low-end version of ortolan

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The UK needs a new electoral system – should it copy Scandinavia?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Australia may be a better bet. It preserves the culturally ingrained assumption that each electorate has one MP (at least in the main chamber of parliament), though these are elected using STV preferential voting. (There is an upper house which is proportionally elected per state, though it acts as a house of review, much like the Lords.) You also have compulsory voting (or at least showing up at a polling place or having a good excuse), which makes it harder for parties to win by riling up highly motivated fringe groups.

  The “pepe” being green is the tell

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump wanted a US-made iPhone. Apple gave him a gold statue.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  On the face of it, this falls foul of numerous anti-bribery laws and regulations of the sort employees of companies such as Apple are required to do tests on annually. (If you ever so much as worked as a mail clerk at a large company, you will have clicked through multiple-choice tests driving home that, should you somehow find yourself in a position of trading a bottle of champagne or some Superbowl tickets for a multi-million-dollar contract in some exotic foreign land, that sort of thing is absolutely not on, and will cost you your job if not federal prison time.)

  On the other hand, those rules were drafted back when America saw itself as qualitatively above the sordid corruption that less fortunate nations were mired in. Those days are as far gone as the drag clubs of Weimar Berlin.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump threatens to ‘federalize’ DC after attack on Big Balls⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Every dictatorship gets its Horst Wessel.

  In a few years’ time there’ll probably be a military base or warship or something named after Big Balls.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aussie funk music recommendations?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Client Liaison, if you extend your definition of funk to 80s Minneapolis boogie groove.

  Hey, if you don’t have traumatic brain injury, what are you doing on Lemmy?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK pornography taskforce to propose banning ‘barely legal’ content after Channel 4 documentary airs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They can make the age of consent for porn (or any unconventional sexuality) 25, which will also let them slip in their long-mooted plan to make that the age of consent for gender affirming care.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨newborn⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Spoiler: “erotic mushroom” is the pet name the parents have for the dad’s penis.
