(and the second-order consequence will be Putin feeling like he can get away with using one to settle Ukraine)

Inevitably, yes. The world is going to a really fucking dark place I fear.

The Exploited - Fuck the USA YouTube video by AdamPunk92

anyway

Trump is demanding “unconditional surrender”, as if that will happen with the way it’s going so far. But he and the US govt are definitely insane enough to nudge that along by deploying a nuclear weapon. Am I being pessimistic? Idk.

there’s an exception to every rule!

I have this horrible feeling that the US might launch a nuke.

And no, I don’t condemn the “abuse and threats” received by JK Rowling. She deserves all of that and more, actually.

If we relied on experts then we wouldn’t be in a situation where scum like JK Rowling are effectively dictating policies that are killing trans children.

It’s like that by design, Chris.

I actually think much of the public is basically aright on this. A great many people indeed have this attitude of scepticism, aren't so blood thirsty as the worst propagandists would have us. Yet for some reason, at least here in the UK, there is a terrible filter for access to our journalist class.

Wars are extremely hard things to justify. It is intrinsic to what they are that they tend to death, destruction, and misery. Given this and some knowledge of history, one's default attitude towards powerful people purporting to do the world some great benefit by war should be extreme scepticism.

You may not like this but this is what peak King Arthur looks like

This thing about the language is in my view an example of the judiciary writing law.

Those public order offences (harassed, alarmed and distressed) were meant to be for things like death threats, not for swearing, but the cops decided they could abuse the law and the courts collaborated.

indeed.

A man completely engulfed in flames pulls a car in Guinness World Records’ IG account

Today I learned that the new world record for pulling a car 100 meters while engulfed in flames has been set by Josef Tödtling, shattering the 1-minute barrier. Congrats to the Austrian for pushing the boundaries of how quickly a burning person can pull a car

I should probably get a spell-checker extention for firefox shouldn't I

I am also against monarchy, as well as monacrhy.

I am formally recognising him as the prince of wales btw. I am against monacrhy BUT, if there's going to be a prince of wales, I'd rather it be this bloke than mr baldy buck teeth over the border there.

No respect for cops but especially for PLOs whose job it is to pretend they're not utter cunts and which they fail at regularly.

It's disgusting to see the servants of the English usurpers so disrespect one who is heir to Llywelyn ab Iorwerth

When the nazis invaded Paris the police protected the nazis while they set up their bases so the police track record isn't good with regards to fascists

y mab darogan rises

(south wales police, the socialist workers’ party - there is no good SWP).

SWP have form and they are not to be trusted at all - even less so than any police force should be trusted.

and notice also how they escalated with the prince of wales here by complaining about his language (“flag shaggers” - completely unnecessary but one of them’s wearing one of those thin blue line badges, so it tracks).

as you can see, south wales police protect fascists. so just make a note of that.

lmaooo

I had to google "lanyard class." Lol what
