I’m not saying soups aren’t nice. But if you offer me, eg, a French Onion Soup (one of the greatest soups there is) and you offer me… a rack of ribs, or a steak, or blackened chicken with dirty rice, soup is coming second every day of the week.

Starmer could have turned his election victory into a moment of national renewal, fighting for social justice, decency, clean politics and… an ethical foreign policy.

Instead, he… carried out policies favoured by Labour donors rather than members.

Rather than fight the far right, he copied its politics and employed its language… He hollowed out the Labour Party and destroyed its soul.

Disappointing, Keir, disappointing.

Oh, what joy! Another sleb who has millions to throw around on a vanity project while the rest of us are struggling to pay the bills! Ooh, will he change the wallpaper? Such fun!

The Greens won… because they promised… to actually attempt to fix things

Dangerous lunatics!

Pffft. I’ve spent the last 30 years being a fat, lazy slob to prepare for my role in an as-yet unwritten movie about a fat, lazy slob.

My time will come! Hopefully before coronary heart disease does.

Add leather chaps (no pants) for a bigger bit of extra zazz!

Oooh, is that a soup though? Soup is something that’s eaten with a soup spoon. I challenge you to eat noodles with a soup spoon. That looks damned fine, by the way.

[I never said my opinions were rational, only correct, like an absolute truth of the universe.]

Also - if Minecraft has taught me anything - punching animals until some chops appear in my inventory.

I can’t downvote you for an honestly expressed opinion, but soup is a disappointing meal.

“… and all those moments will be lost in time, like mass-deleted Reddit posts, in rain. Time to move to Lemmy.”

“You chicken, Skywalker?”

It’s torment nexuses all the way down…

Heavily armed ICE agents to be stationed at all polling places “to prevent illegal immigrants voting”.

Calling it now.

You have a good ol’ rummage around in there, see who you find?

There’s a human need to make some kind of impact on others. Some people do it by building up - posting positivity, or creating art, or whatever. Others do it by tearing down - posting insults, or vandalism, and so on.

The negative path is much, much easier.

“No you haven’t!” does Jedi mind-trick hand motion

Ah, the ol’ lemmy switcheroo!

Everything is true.

Nothing is permitted.

Drop by a fire station, you might be able to pick one up!

Way back in the early 1980’s my class at school went on an exchange trip to, er, Poitiers I think.

One day we were visiting the school of the French kids who we would later be hosting. There was a French boy at the far end of the table I was sitting at who ate his meal but, instead of eating the orange he had, he started making little incisions into the skin, just far enough to get to the flesh of the orange.

I wondered if this was some crazy French way of eating orange so I kept on watching as he worked his way around the orange. He must have made nearly a hundred little incisions. Then he looked around the canteen, stood up, and hurled the orange, full strength at another kid. The orange hit the other boy on his upper chest and just exploded!

Shortly after that, food was going everywhere. A few kids ducked out of the canteer as soon as it started but the rest just started hurling whatever was left on their trays at each other. Naturally, being a keen francophile and wanting to learn more about French culture, I joined in. Good times.
