  Yep indeed! And the least he could’ve done was tell them it wasn’t going ahead, instead of letting them stress about it for about a year or two.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starmer pulls Chagos bill after Trump backlash⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Wtf? Why now? Does he just do things and somehow funnel all the hate mail towards a spam email account which he only checks a week before said Reform is gonna go through?

  And btw can anyone point me towards ANYTHING Starmer has proposed and actually followed through on? Despite having a megalithic majority he only backs down from proposals and does stuff the tories could have done anyway.

  My wife leaves MSNBC on just about all day long, and it’s rare she mentions anything I don’t already know about.

  Exactly. That’s it in a nutshell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨News could use a reboot.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that would be a good idea. People clearly prefer to learn the news differently tk how they used to. You might say it’s gone through 3 stages

  • Newspapers
  • Radio and Television introduced, Newspapers still popular
  • Internet makes Twitter/Reddit a more efficient way to locqte articles, and people don’t need to tune in tk scheduled news when they have YouTube videos, for instance.

  One of my favourite news sources right now is TLDR news. ,aybe stuff like the BBC needs to get their programming more in-line with this, allowing people to select the stories they listen to qnd thus spend less time watching/ listening to the news.

  If you think about it, people have probably elected to be killed by their families ( and friends!) loads of times throughout history.

  Well thank you for another reason not to vote Tory, Mrs Badenoch. As if it needed to be made any clearer.

  I guarantee you will still want to eat some bread later, and you’ll even thank your past self for making the bread

  I think cats might actually die more from being smart, i.e adventurous, and straying to places where no cat has ventured before

  I love smart cars

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Now is a great time to try an open mic, just print out some of the Epstein emails, find some good bits and read them into a microphone!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like never before in history has it been more evident that the super elite are not having fulfilling lives themselves.

  For instance: recently, Elon was slandered by some writer saying he can’t appreciate art + movies properly, and since then he’s made a big show of commenting on all the “movies” pages on X-twitter.

  So performative. Like Donald Trump’s behaviour rubbed off on him.

  As for the others - Bezos and Zuckerberg and more - well, they just seem to be having an awkward time whenever in the public eye. They struggle to find uses for their time and money and end up sending pop stars to the moon and such.

  It’s like you said - can you imagine how unfulfilled and disconnected from real life people like Jeffrey Epstein were, to decide their effort was best spent organising an industry of kidnapping, blackmail + sexual slavery? Either the man was a demon, or he was so profoundly impotent - emotionally and conventionally - that he only got his kicks from abusing minors.

  It’s definitely a warning sign to anyone still playing the capitalist game.

  Haven’t read the emails yet but the “birthday book” made me feel sick. His “friends"/clients basically had a cult around him, actually worshipped him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We shouldn't have to go to college in order to afford a house by 30.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When we’re at school the teachers never actually take the time to talk about:
  - what non-university educated careers
  - what they involve
  - how to pursue trades based jobs

  And it’s weird, because I’m sure everyone would love to at least dabble in woodworking or some other form of craftsmanship. But they don’t get the chance to.

  The school-university pipeline works for a lot of people, but I don’t think uni straight after school is the ideal situation for most people. It means we lose sight of what education is actually for, outside of progression to further qualifications
