If Count Binface actually wins (not necessarily impossible; just look at what happened to the Conservative leader in Canada's last election), Nigel Farage isn't going to resign as head of Reform. One of his underlings will resign from parliament and he'll run in ANOTHER by-election for their seat instead (just look at what happened to the Conservative leader in Canada's last election...)
What I'm saying is the UK needs more gimmick candidates to be ready to follow him wherever he goes.

What started as a yearly trip for a grandfather and his grandson turned into a visit to a Montana hospital after a bison attack at Yellowsto
Arrest everyone involved.
Money saved: maybe a couple million dollars.
People killed: around three quarters of a million.
Trump administration’s cost-cutting effort goes out with a whimper after upending lives of thousands of federal employees
The Trump administration quietly marked the country’s 250th anniversary by quietly declaring independence from the Elon Musk-led cost-cutting project that wreaked havoc across the federal government during President Donald Trump’s first months back in office last year.
The Department of Government Efficiency officially blinked out of existence Saturday in accordance with the executive order that mandated it would “terminate” on July 4, 2026.
It leaves in its wake an estimated $11 billion hole in the federal budget paid to workers who accepted the Musk-authored “Fork in the Road” offer to do nothing for nine months before officially resigning while being paid full salaries and benefits during that period, plus a gutted U.S. Agency for International Development that has left key foreign aid programs shuttered and contributed to the deaths of millions across the globe.
But the hundreds of thousands of federal employees who left voluntarily or were fired during Musk’s rampage through the federal workforce may be collecting taxpayer-funded paychecks once again before long.
According to NOTUS, multiple agencies that saw their employee rolls slashed in the first months of Trump’s second term are staffing up once more.
One such agency is the National Endowment for the Humanities, which recently began contacting former employees to invite them to interview for positions that are now being filled and are posted on the government’s USA Jobs website.
Over the first five months of this year, the Office of Personnel Management-run site had more than 104,000 new positions listed for hiring. That’s nearly 40,000 more than the 68,900 that were listed during the last five months of 2025.
Office of Personnel Management director Scott Kupor told NOTUS that his agency is overseeing a “reshaping” of the federal workforce — with Musk’s stated goal of slashing hundreds of thousands from the federal payroll in the name of so-called “efficiency” no longer on his radar.
Tech mogul Elon Musk’s band of Silicon Valley disruptors have already moved on as DOGE’s charter is scheduled to expire.
...
And no final DOGE review is incoming, according to Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought — known as the man who wished to put federal employees “in trauma.”
“We have no plans to do kind of a closing DOGE report,” Vought said at a hearing Tuesday. “We’re always happy to give you our assessment of that work. I think it made some really important strides.”
The White House budget proposal released in April sought $35 million for the U.S. DOGE Service. However, at that same hearing, Rep. Dave Joyce (R-Ohio) noticed in the request “that DOGE was pretty much eliminated.”

has enough time passed for me to say that it's actually kind of hilarious that a substantial amount of dream smp lore revolved around everyone's collective realization that wilbur's character was not in fact someone to be idolized and put up on a pedestal but a self pitying, self destructive mentally ill man who had lost all perspective in his life and was hellbent on burning all his bridges. and then it turned out all of that was applicable to the real life man also
I'm kind of stuck in this mental place where I just want to see someone actually see some consequences for their actions in any form, good or bad. like i need to either see someone's hard work actually fucking pay off for once or i need someone to FAFO in my field of view. Just some kind of proof that what someone does actually matters

the MOST iconic 20 seconds of any anime dub i’ve ever experienced
one time I went over to a friend's house and their housemate was making paper in the living room, and we saw this big tub full of water they were using to dissolve old scrap paper into a slurry, and everyone was immediately like "oh, you need scrap paper?" and started turning out their jacket pockets and producing expired coupons and bus tickets and crumpled receipts and old shopping lists and whatever else they'd been carrying round with them for no good reason, and passing it all to the paper-making housemate to make sure it was suitable before it got torn up and dropped into the tub, while people took turns stirring the slurry with a big wooden stick. it was strangely ritualistic, like presenting an offering to some kind of temple elder for inspection before placing it in a watery shrine to be devoured and reformed. pulp for the pulp god.
the way aragorn runs is so chaotic
@tathrin's tags have been vetted and approved
#that is a man who A: has tripped over his sword before and been laughed at by EVERY ELF IN RIVENDELL and is NOT going to do it again#and B: knows that he has more leg than anyone else in the room and is GOING TO USE IT BY GODS#he is COVERING GROUND with every step#he got that moniker of strider through HARD HONEST WORK (and very very big steps)#aragorn#lotr movies#viggo mortensen
#So basically. He runs like an actual real person would over uneven ground 😂#The Hollywood Run is pretty to watch sure but also takes place on a paved surface usually#There is no way to look dignified whilst running across lumpy bumpy ground down across a hill. Unless one is an actual gazelle#thankyou Mr. Viggo for that Real Human rep (saving @jonairadreaming's excellent tags because everyone who has ever tried running down an incline over uneven, possibly shifting, ground knows you try to get down there as fast as possible with the least amount of time of foot actually touching the ground and constantly being prepared to shift your weight to keep your balance. By the time the stones actually shift from your weight you already want to be two steps away)
He’s so leg
my jaw is on the floor
we need to bring back public hatred for paparazzi. I’m so tired of actors defending themselves against assholes with cameras and being smeared as egotistical divas. they’re glorified stalkers who get paid to harass people. end of. the things these freaks get away with would send normal people to prison but we’re supposed to think it’s okay just bc they’re paparazzi. they SHOULD get shut down for being openly misogynistic. they SHOULD get told off and reported for following someone to their private residence to doxx them. they SHOULD face charges for just about running people over in their pursuit of the next hot celeb. this is not normal. and, actually, these people DO deserve to get punched sometimes.
The irony of this new breed of self-righteous AI hunters on AO3 is that they're all just copy and pasting peoples fics into AI detectors, which are all operated by AI and therefore THEY are feeding people's work into the algorithm without their consent and in some cases no doubt circumventing the locks people put on to avoid getting scraped...
Don't copy and paste anyone's AO3 work into third party websites, you're not the good guys in this situation?

Shout out to this tiny yet crucial error on an otherwise actually very informative post about myths about tax returns and the IRS
oh boy! something in my mailbox from the IRA? I wonder what it could be!
We need more women characters who are Male Protagonists. You know. Slightly haggard. She's splashing cold water on her face and gripping the edge of the sink staring in the mirror for a minute. She's coping badly with her deadwife
Ok listen I get that people tagging posts with men is a rule of physics on this hellsite but it's kind of bizarre how badly some of you have failed the assignment on this one. A generic male protagonist archetype who is a man is nothing. That's just the normal cliche I'm talking about subverting. What?
Like if you are For Serious headcanoning your blorbo as a trans woman I am kissing you on the head. But I KNOW most of you are not doing that. Come on. For one dollar name a fictional woman. No being a loser does not make him a woman try again
