Let's go further. Every medium sized British town should have a Roger's Child Porn Warehouse, packed to the rafters with CSAM made and sold by Roger himself. Then we can arrest anyone who buys it, let Roger keep the money and the porn, and hand him a knighthood for his services to policing.
Alex Norris explaining that the govt is passing legislation that means if someone asks Grok to produce an image of a woman in a bikini they will be committing a criminal offence. Whereas when it comes to taking action against X, we're told thats a matter for Ofcom not the govt.

RIP Claudia Cardinale. Much like Robert Redford, she was a rare case of a beautiful performer with a filmography full of bangers who did NOT become right-wing later in life. Here she is punching fascist Brigitte Bardot in the face in Les Pétroleuses (1971).

Guy in my office just watched anchorman for the first time. He’s literally doing lines from anchorman. In 2025. Everyone he does one to laughs, but with this sort of haunted look in their eyes. Like they’re being amused from beyond the grave

If you live in Britain, the 21st century for you has been relentless cruel political frauds, diving living standards, deteriorating infrastructure, closure of public services, lunatic moral panics, ludicrous corruption scandals and war crimes. What have the political class done to earn public trust?

Power is the rock on which truth founders. The mainstream media, with a few exceptions, is a single-issue lobby group, whose purpose is to assert the rights of capital.

Once, I believed that humanity’s problem was an information deficit. Now, I know you can’t speak truth to power if power controls your words, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

This is something that might only make sense to people who live in East London, but no-one who owns their own house should be allowed to wear a blue, mid-century, French peasant’s chore jacket (you know the one I mean). Anyway, Fuck those fucks

Social media *should* be boring. Being algorithm and dopamine poisoned is bad, actually.
When your feed dries up for the day, that's your cue to go do something else until new stuff shows up later.

If Farage wins the next election, it will be down to one person. His name is Keir Starmer.
This thread explains why.
1. Destroying faith in democracy. The UK decisively voted out the Tories, only for Starmer to give us a Continuity Tory government, shamefully beholden to economic power.

This is actually quite interesting, because it’s the first to situate our current crisis within British history, alongside political crises in 1914, 1919 and the 1970s, when elite figures began to mutter darkly about Serious Measures required to restore Order. Big caveats here though…
