  • Lucky you. My city, Edinburgh has one of the highest rated public transport systems. The buses and trams are always full. I use them often but I hate every second of it, it’s a horrible experience, card machines that randomly refuse random cards while accepting others, anti social behaviour, litter strewn about the bus by the recent passengers, windows being opened when it’s cold and closed when it’s sweltering, buses showing up at random times, rude drivers, ridiculous charges for jumping on the tram without a ticket because the ticket machines weren’t working, cancellations and route diversions that aren’t properly sign posted leaving you standing for half an hour with a ticket you can’t refund before some kind soul happens to walk past and give the news that the route stopped 3 stops back, a 45 minute journey becomes 2 hours. I could go on and on, public transport is necessary but under capitalism it’s shit. I’ll stick to driving when I don’t have time for deviations.






  • Unfortunately there are signals that allies are starting to acquiesce. Keir Starmer is sending the Navy to help ships navigate the strait, while Iran is bombing our bases so it’s a guarantee that our ships will be attacked, drawing us into another forever war for the United Pedos of America. The rest of the government are telling him it’s going to bankrupt us, but he’s too fucking stupid to see that, that’s the whole point of this war. To pull in NATO to put pressure on their economies, leading to a reduction of support for Ukraine. All because America elected a black man a decade ago.








  • It was definitely an early catalyst for directing conspiracy minded people into deeper and deeper rabbit holes. I’d bet for most of us, this is how we discovered Alex Jones and as teenagers he seemed interesting. As an adult it was clear he was just another bullshitter.

    But now, knowing what we know about geo politics, it’s clear that it was all part of Russia’s plan to brainwash the right wing into becoming domestic enemies of their nations in favour of Russia’s interests.
