The experience of modernity is basically seeing the world get constantly worse and being told by people in power they can't do anything about it and that you're a bitch for wanting them to try.

It’s worked out okay for Tom, who seems to have turned a career mostly composed of glad-handing, bullshitting and weird, Gollum-esque sneaking and whispering into a series of lucrative non-jobs, getting paid to do what looks to me very much like fuck all.

Tom Watson, Labour's former deputy leader, recently wrote the next general election will be a
'Stop Farage election'
Stop Corbyn. Stop Brexit. Now Stop Farage. This is the main issue with the Labour right - what are they actually for? You can't do politics like this forever.

You might think its fine to stop these things!
But this is the modus operandi of centrism now
- just constantly stopping stuff. Its emotionally exhausting for the electorate and clearly doesn't lead to effective government.
What are we stopping after Farage?

Remember all that rattle about how Labour had been listening to the public, to find out what would make them popular and electable? Does it look like it was the public they were listening to, or does it look more like they were listening to maybe four or five newspaper editors.

Labour hits their lowest ever poll rating with YouGov, level with the Conservatives on 17%. Greens at their highest ever.

Labour, Conservatives, Lib Dems and Greens now all essentially within margin of error of each other

My understanding is that after a while the wall of the Faithless was demolished... and in true centrist style, replaced by another, almost completely hideous system where you wander around the Fugue Plane for ever or until you get kidnapped by demons.

Kelemvor is the ultimate centrist lib.

Almost all of them lack the strength of character, the basic moral code to stand up for these ideas in the face of thousands of people calling them ridiculous for doing so. They see people like me getting targeted for asserting these ideas and want to be in the group laughing, not a target.

It is Twitter! Like guys I’m telling you the thing that is collapsing basic norms and making white supremacy mainstream again and giving our formally centrist pundits a Strange New Respect for completely overt neo-Nazis is Twitter! You HAVE to stop ignoring it. It is going to destroy our society

Is there any behaviour, no matter how appalling, that the Tories would call out at this point?

Conservative Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp repeatedly refusing to say that he thinks Reform MP Sarah Pochin saying she doesn't like seeing black people on TV was racist.

Says he wouldn't use her "language" but it's right for her to express "legitimate concerns" about migration

This, and the tory response, makes me feel like I'm going insane. Why is there suddenly open racism running around in so many elite circles?

This is stuff that even right wing Americans wouldn't say.

greek giants (Gigantes) are a fascinating set of beings who possibly have snakes for legs and are really strong but not actually giants. I'm surprised nobody has turned them into a dnd monster.

I’m not a Trekkie but I’ve done enough basic research into the Star Trek fandom to know women basically invented it, and are why the show even continued to exist. This kind of writing is part of institutional sexism that denies women’s accomplishments and role in history and it infuriates me

Earl Grey: 𝙁𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨 @earlgreymemes.club · 3d

okay grandpa, let's get you to bed

To understand this problem, first, you have to understand the demographics of Star Trek viewers. Trekkies are and always have been men. Women are not usually interested in science fiction, but that’s doubly true of Star Trek in particular.

I hear you, random guy who once knew some lady who watched every Voyager episode. I see you on Instagram, attractive girl cosplaying in Starfleet miniskirts. Unfortunately, you very cool Trek-girls are the exception, not the rule.

I wonder who the right of Labour thinks it represents? The Party it is running is despised in the country and the deputy Leadership election doesn't suggest it has support in the membership. Rupert Murdoch? Lawyers for Israel? Donald Trump? It's not much of a constituency...

I remember watching the demo for Silent Cartographer when I was a kid, and thinking how cool it looked. This is just... wet garbage.

TBQH I think the whole case is just showing that maybe the classification has gone too far. As far as I can tell, nothing that they were passing on was actually classified, so why is it controversial they weren't prosecuted?

The lobby groups that co-opt grieving parents like Ian Russell and Esther Ghey and rewrite the stories of their children’s lives and deaths to advocate for legislation that wouldn’t have saved them really makes me sick. That Esther also has ended up in a narrative that victim-blames Brianna is vile

It's especially funny given the actual armed forces is still on life support after decades of cuts. It's not even they love war, they just wish they were American.

In case Andrew says anything else that’s completely daft, here he is on the same podcast in late 2023, explaining the dynamic between the Labour Party leadership and the lobby journos.

Let's be absolutely honest about this. We are all hoping that they are saying one thing before the election and will do something different afterwards, because we all know - we look at the numbers, and we look at the taxation take and we look at the strategy, and we know that they are going to have to do radical things if they are going to be a successful government, that they are not talking about now for electoral reasons. So in a sense, we are all complicit in a certain dishonesty in British politics. We are complicit. We think that they're going to do more than they say they're going to do now.

Buying a house, a thing so many of us do because it's so affordable. In fact, we all buy houses so often that having a digital ID could save up to 22 minutes per decade!

A tweet from Starmers Twitter account:

I recently spoke with someone buying a house with her partner.

She told me that she had to pay just to verify who she was.

With digital ID that could be done in seconds and wipe out the costs.

Digital ID will save you time and money.

This really reminds me of how labour acted during covid. Always late and often bizarrely in the wrong direction. Like they hadn't thought of any policy response but were just yapping.
