Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

"TERF Island" label just seems so obvious and sad

We'll have the last laugh, Keith.

I never realised plastic was a relatively new thing? I assumed people had been making stuff out of plastic for ages but it's only really been relevant since as late as 1980?

[–] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

Plastic is a pretty broad term. Rubber can be considered one and was used in the western hemisphere prior to industrialization. But the first synthetic plastic was bakelite and was invented in the early 1900s. Honestly I'm also surprised production stayed low for so long, but I guess it makes sense since it follows the oil boom.

But yeah my favorite theory this month is that plastic overproduction will make endogenous male puberty impossible, as well as natural reproduction.

Bro looks like he’s about to consume my soul

[–] RION@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago

Bro went Howie Ratner mode

It's amazing how his entire thing is just making absolutely sure everyone understands that he won't do any better than the tories

Queer Harmer is a good one I only heard Kid Starver before

After the revolution as a part of the Starm-reduction Program, when Keir Starmer argues that he deserves clemency, I shall quote those words of his back to him.

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

He genuinely looks like a bloated corpse. Good God I hate him.

I'm sure this will do very well for labour. He's such a piece of shit

[–] AnastasiyaSoyka@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Most politicians hide their demonic energy behind a mask. I applaud Keir Starmer for being brave enough to let his maggot-ridden bones show in public.
