It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

Arts degrees are only “worthless” because tech cunts revalued the highly desirable product of freelance artists at close to zero, cos it made running the digital supply pipes look cheaper on the spreadsheets. Pay properly for the arts, and see how worthless artists are.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Fence #26 will be a special on all things print, and in tribute to the storied history of the UK gutter press, our letters page wants your GOSSIP & SCANDAL.

So, we're asking you all: what was the most scandalous (true or false) bit of gossip that dominated your school or neighbourhood growing up?

A rumour that one of our teachers had to take a pill to stop him farting while having sex, his nickname henceforth being Phil the Pill. A completey believeable medical intervention there.

A Birtley bamber. A proper British delicacy. Feed a family for a week on this. Tomatoes, onions, and grapes, on a stottie plumper. This is what the woke brigade want to take from us!

I too have never seen Love Actually, or Dirty Dancing. I don't think I've seen a Rocky or Rambo film from start to finish. And as for modern trendy stuff, never seen Breaking Bad or Succession

Hannah Fearn @hannahfearn.bsky.social · 3d

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

Men in balaclavas set fire to a mosque in East Sussex last night. It's only appearing on the BBC's local coverage, rather than its main national headlines, despite coming just a week after the (also under-reported) firebombing of an asylum hotel in London last week

Peacehaven: Fire at East Sussex mosque probed as 'hate crime'

Video appears to show two people in balaclavas at the mosque before a large blaze spreads.

Japan has a wrestling camp for kids where at the end they have a show match in front of their parents to show off what they learned.

Let’s be clear: the government is failing to fend off hate campaigns by Britain’s utterly poisonous right wing press, so it is urging the public and journos to instead go after members of the public, for protesting against the annihilation of the Gaza Strip, as a diversion.

Typical Labour bring in a disproportionate stupid law and when people protest it, make the protest illegal.

Guardian front page , photo of a group of cops in hi viz and wearing blue surgical gloves somewhere in central London. Headline reads “police to get new power to crack down repeated protests, says Home Secretary.

Protesting is a right, by the way, not a favour granted to us by the owner of the lawn we’re walking on, whose patience we’ve overly abused.

Paul Brand @paulbrand.bsky.social · 3d

Home Secretary tells Sky News that “there is a gap in the law” when it comes to frequent, repeated protests on the same issue. Hence she will be giving police greater powers to move them to another location or time.
