If Britain had proportional representation, they’d have a chance of being the leftmost party in left-of-centre coalitions alongside Labour and the Green Party (sort of like Die Linke in Germany or Vänsterpartiet in Sweden), or any least harrying a Labour-LibDem-Green-SNP-Plaid coalition from the left. Though under FPTP, they have a snowball’s chance in Hell, and are likely to serve as motivation for Labour to rule out electoral reform.

The photos of flowers and Star Trek dad jokes cancel out the sense of doom.

Imagine if motorbikes didn’t exist. These dickheads would have to go up to people and shout “MY DICK IS BIGGER THAN YOURS” in their faces one at a time.

Parts of it are. The kernel is derived from a Mach microkernel (an experimental kernel in the 80s, which was theoretically supposed to allow different OS personalities to coexist in the same system, sharing resources; macOS’ Darwin/XNU kernel doesn’t implement this capability in full, but you do get the Mach Ports interprocess communication mechanism, and a BSD UNIX personality permanently attached).

Slurs work like a treadmill. Technical terms start being used as slurs (“moron” and “idiot” are examples) and are replaced by new, neutral words, and the cycle begins again. We’ve had a few decades of “special” being used as a euphemism for mental disability, and that word is on its way to becoming a slur (in certain contexts, it can be used unambiguously as one).

Though after they killed him, they buried his body at sea at an undisclosed location, to prevent it becoming a shrine.

Cats have a sense of humour. It tends towards the slapstick.

Given the fashion for giving vehicle models latinate masculine names like Camino and Montero, they missed a trick by not naming the postal vehicle the Tristero.
