Apparently fajitas are woke now.

going by the decor, is this not TGI Fridays?

Someone on Twitter posted a photo of themselves doing a happy dance as they receive a hot plate of fajitas. Then "Raw Egg Nationalist" on Twitter retweets them, writing: It's incredible that these people exist, but they really do. These are the people who justify the demographic replacement of Western countries in terms of the variety of street food and how many different kinds of fried-meat-and-vegetables in flatbread they can buy.

" they leave the light on 24/7."

That's psychological torture. Except here they're not even using it as an interrogation technique. It's just cruelty for cruelty's sake.

Or maybe just don't arrest anyone and let people do what the fuck they want with their own bodies and money?

Honestly I didn't bother for ages but now I can see a message sitting in my inbox and it's bugging me. Even though it's probably spam.

Anyone else struggling to get the facial age recognition to work for them? I keep getting a profoundly unhelpful "something went wrong" error message. I think it doesn't recognise me as human.

It's not for nothing we were all taught to sing at primary school "the rich man in his castle / the poor man at his gate / God made them high and lowly / and ordered their estate" i.e. stay in your lane, povvos.

It's striking to me that for all the overt appealing to some kind of an idea of "working class" the desire appears to be to smash opportunities for people to move out of their allotted places.

Just back from seeing @threeacresacow.bsky.social at the Crucible in Sheffield. Honestly a lovely, educational and empowering show. See it if you can!

And they were already firing on the priest before helmet guy walked in front of him - I don't believe they cared who they hit. As far as they were concerned all the protesters were viable targets.

Even if that's true, he is also not doing anything to warrant being shot at.

Largely because major supermarkets want reliable supply chains - they don't want food that's seasonal and where availability is dependent on weather conditions from day to day.

Also, "detransitioning" (stopping or reversing a medical intervention) does not necessarily make a person "not transgender", it just means they decided that medical route wasn't the best choice for them.

How DARE he wear a Doctor Who sweater! Modern Tory values are antithetical to everything the Doctor stands for.

Also note the provably false statement "the far left murdered Charlie Kirk" is being stated here as a bald fact, not even a matter for discussion, and nobody challenges it. “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

Will they though? From what I'm seeing it's mostly leading to a dangerous level of complacency: "He can't do that, constitution says no!" when he blatantly IS doing it (imprisonment/deportation without due process, curtailing freedom of speech and assembly) and nobody is stopping him.

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it

One Star Review of Waiting for Godot on Broadway
I recently attended Waiting for Godot on Broadway and spent over $1,400 for two Row C seats (103 and 104). I'm a longtime admirer of Broadway productions and even hold a season pass for Shea's Performing Arts Theatre, so I came in with genuine enthusiasm and high expectations. Unfortunately, this show was unlike anything ! have ever experienced —and not in a good way.
What I encountered was not the artistry, music, or emotional storytelling I usually associate with Broadway, but instead what felt like an endless cycle of nonsensical conversation between characters who seemed trapped in their own madness. I tried-truly tried-to find meaning, symbolism, or even a thread of emotional resonance. I stayed through the first half hoping the second would offer clarity. But by intermission, it was clear: this was a waste of both time and money.
Keanu Reeves is an actor I respect greatly, but I cannot fathom why he would agree to participate in such a disjointed, inaccessible production. His talent was lost in a performance that defied reason rather than provoked insight.
To anyone considering attending: unless you are drawn to highly abstract, nearly incomprehensible theater, I strongly caution you against this show. For the average, educated, thoughtful theatergoer, it is far more frustrating than fulfilling. In my opinion, this was the single most disappointing Broadway experience I've ever had - an unfortunate waste of money and, more importantly, of time.

The faith that some Americans have in their constitution is both touching and concerning. Comrades, it's just words on a piece of paper, not magic. If Trump decides to ignore it he won't be struck by lightning.

He's not trying to amend the Constitution, though. He's ignoring it and nobody is stopping him. Doesn't matter if "free speech" is written in the constitution - it's a worthless piece of paper when the president can defy it whenever he feels like it.
