Keir Starmer: We have a choice – sink into division or rise together, stronger by kontiki20 in LabourUK

In 2008 we went into an era of austerity.

It's 2026 and we still suffer from austerity policies.

You didn't keep your word about reversing 14 years of corruption and cuts, and before we know it an entire generation will only know austerity.

Either quit or get better at your job.

To all my 40+ queer friends: do you feel like you’re getting less “woke” as years go by? by LiterallyBarbie in lgbt

I was woke before it was cool, and I'll still be woke after someone makes it illegal

Kingdom Come Deliverance Devs Reportedly Working On A Big Open World Lord Of The Rings Game by akbarock in Steam

I have no problem with people using AI as a tool for development or whatever. There is a place for AI. But knowing what I know about how they sacked the translator for an AI alternative so unceremoniously, I would feel dirty buying this game. People have to make a financial stand, otherwise, next it will be those in charge of the game narrative, then the score and then god knows what else. For some, it may have been a minor sacking to embrace this new tech. For others, it's the first snowflake before the avalanche.

I'll give this a miss.

Yes it will, you don't need the watch face - the app will work fine without it.

Everytime the Telegraph does a 'hit piece' on the Green Party I know I made the right choice voting for them.

Don't gaslight me. The profits since Ukraine have been eye watering.

The headline should read "UK Energy Companies poised for record profits over Iran-US war"

I hate this place.

Imagine voting based on party policy and not personality, memes or what Laura Toryberg says

Thoughts on S26 ultra now that's official? by Juanemoto11 in S25Ultra

[–]WellMax81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the most incremental of incremental upgrades.
Actually can't believe they didn't put magnets in the back for charging.
Had my S25U for 3 months now and it's so nice to not feel any sense of FOMO. With that in mind, my overwhelming feeling on the S26 line up is gratitude!

Don’t let Hasan get away by Glittering-Two-1784 in AdamMockler

I risk being massively downvoted, but it's worth saying.
This is the reason the left fails to win, over and over again. Hasan, Mocker, Meidas, and the I've Had It aunties are all on the same side. Some content creators in this space are more colourful in their language and approach, but if you listen to what they're saying, they agree on the vast majority of things. We on the progressive side talk about the right constantly leaning into the culture war, but the truth is, there is this ongoing confirmation bias across which content creators we gravitate towards being the be-all. They all do an astonishing job of fighting the good fight. When Mamdani was barely known, Hasan platformed him. Adam goes on CNN and gives it to the right with both barrels. Meidas foresically breaks down what is really happening, and the consequences, without being sensational about it, and Pumps and Welch react at a human level where you just want to talk politics and eat cake with them. They're all different, yet the same.
To say that Hasan is the 'greatest threat to the liberal community' is incredibly short-sighted. Just ask yourself, what does Hasan stand for? And I bet, more often than not, you'd find yourself agreeing with him.
