I mean, have you been to Birmingham?
I will always have a soft spot for Birmingham for giving us Black Sabbath. Luckily, I have never been there though, so the reality will not ruin it for me.
I once had to stay in Birmingham after a cancelled train. On leaving the station I was accosted by a drunk demanding cigarettes, who started swearing at me after I admitted I didn’t smoke. That’s my only experience of Birmingham, I have to assume it’s typical.
Yes I have, and I found it to be rather pleasant actually… But then I am from Wolverhampton so it could just be the comparison.
My brain worked so hard to make this look like America, even though now I know it isn’t I’m pretty sure its still the USA
It’s North America from an upside down perspective.
I had a good, deep, cathartic laugh at this I didn’t realize I was in need of. UK politics has been an interesting but unfun mess for a long while.
They’ve just stated to unfuck themselves out of tgeir own neolib brainfuck. Guys like Garry and Giantsomething
The lost continent had emerged! It’s happening!
Trash Atlantis.
There’s an even larger one between the atlantic and pacific ocean, just north of the gulf of mexico.
Dont even get me started on the patch northeast the Indian Ocean. That thing must have the highest peaks on earth, and it reaches all the way to Mongolia.
Gulf of Cuba USA and Mexico
CUM for short.
OK, but for the record I didn’t think you were that short.
I know! The United States of North America!
These are the jokes, kid.
That’s so brutal, black metal fans burned a church in its honor
Yo the church was burning when we got here we just didn’t wanna let it burn without a proper send off

Hey now, we’ve got some nice bits - they’re all the bits with no people in
I genuinely don’t get why hating the UK has become so popular recently. Like, sure we have our problems, but it’s not that bad…
UK export neoliberalisn,evagelicals and that traitor against all human Boris,UK will not be allowed to live that down for 100 year. UK stop having shit ideas.
Have you not lived through the political shit show we’ve had? Brexit, COVID scandals, Boris Johnson, Farage, stagnating wages, poor productivity, inflation, high energy prices, NHS in crisis, housing shit show…and there’s no end in sight. Think the UK hasn’t been doing that badly is quite a willful refusal to see how we compare to the rest of the world and where we could have been if we functioned better.
randomly choosing a random outgroup to collectively hate on is funny sometimes (see: the fr🤮nch) Genuinely there is no other reason. sometimes people will create justifications/other explanations for it but really its just absurdist humor with a pinch of tribalism.
Look we made a bunch of overblown jokes against the French for a while…
…then they got BASED organizing ferociously for their workers’ rights…
…Then we stopped joking so much…
…and now they’re not doing so hot again.
I think there’s a causative effect here. Should the jokes continue in order to spur them to greatness once more, even if only out of spite?
Brexit, probably. That lost a lot of international respect.
And I think it was Blair before that. XD
And the US is on track to beat that record.
I think we already did reputation wise. Economically, give it a bit longer cause I think we’re playing great depression 2: techie boogaloo.
Is it recently, though? As far as I can remember, specifically England has been the US of Europe. Or you mean the UK as a whole?
Why are you being so cruel about Ireland?
Ireland is barely in the picture.
I felt the joke would have had to be explained more if I’d said Alderney or Sark.
Situation: normal.
Look Ireland has feelings too!
Mostly Northern Ireland.
Thats Britain lol, Ireland is on the left edge of the frame.
Kinda unrelated but Garbology is a pretty great album imo.
That’s because all Aesop Rock albums are great.
Malibu Ken replaced None shall pass as my favorite but NSP still holds a place in my heart
Skelethon > everything (tho i do like ITS, the song Vititus has a weirdly nostalgic vibe)
Malibu Ken isn’t an Aesop album it’s a Malibu Ken album. TOBACCO should not be underestimated and is great on his own too.
Maybe this is the remnant of the last technological civilization that collapsed and disappeared, leaving behind a super massive floating wastepile in the Atlantic Ocean and eventually settled into where it is today. Along with all the survivors that have long since forgotten where they came from.
What do you think would happen if a population stayed within its own cesspit of a gene pool for a thousand years? ;)
Edit: typo.
It gets full and they have to export the really undesirables elsewhere?
Too bad that the royal family is alive and kicking.
