The most recent ones are pretty good, by and large, to be fair. They don't reach the heights of the classics, but they're generally not bad at all.

I will be an oracle and deliver the most incoherent prophecies imaginable. "Tar will become time, and all the lands a funeral shroud", that's sort of thing. Then when something that sort of seems like the thing I said happens I'll nod sagely and deliver another line of incoherent nonsense.
Trying to decide on a career for when the economy crashes and we return to the ancient times. I'm leaning toward soothsayer but I'm also open to banditry

Not saying I would be caught by sirensong but I would definitely crash my ship straight into a rock if I heard this

This was not mine, and I apologise for reposting this one here, but also I absolutely don't.

See, I sort of agree with this but I think he *did* have a plan. His plan was 'do whatever the opposite is of what the left wants.'
It was an extremely stupid plan. More of a vibe than a plan, really.

I’ll admit: I thought the lack of a plan would be a problem for Starmer, but that it would resolve as “governing like the SNP but with a worse record on job creation”, because Starmer would be run by the civil service and just do producer interest government. Not…what we have now.

I'm not going to read your ChatGPT logs, go and make some friends who actually exist.

The thing is, at this point, it's difficult to escape the conclusion that Starmer and Co aren't just appeasing the far right, but genuinely believe crackdowns, trans hate and migrant hate are good governance.

You're right, and it also disturbs me that it's very much not clear where his enormous wealth came from. It feels like that should be something everyone's screaming about as well.

Oh, I grant you that it's mainly the policies, but the comms are absolutely dire as well. Number 10 really is just holistically rubbish right now.

The thing is they probably would be an okay comms team if it was still the 90s somehow, but they don't know how to engage with social media *at all*. To the extent that it's almost negligent.

My wife works in comms, I've seen what she does and, let me tell you, it's a phrase that absolutely would not be written by a *good* comms team.

We need to do some sort of study into precisely how and why labour MP's think telling obvious and outright lies about the Greens will win back support. They truly believe it's helpful to their cause and not just weird and off putting and kind of gross.
The leader of the greens thinks he can persuade Putin to give up weapons. The leader of reform thinks he can cut public spending without cutting services. Labour risks falling into same trap in its immigration and asylum policies. To actually change the world we need less bravado and more scrutiny.

Cannot adequately express to outsiders how insane it is to think the UK is characterised by "Islamoleftism". Just, absolutely, not a thing, not at all representative of our governing ideology, nor of the ideology of the left factions that exist as any serious presence within our politics.

I'll write to my MP. And also switch to a different moisturiser because I'm pretty sure that's something to do with it in my case.

I sort of think a confidence vote is unlikely but a change of PM isn't almost certain. They're not going to call an election when they're this far behind in the polls, but Starmer's inner circle are completely disconnected from the rest of the party to an almost insane degree.

Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID

AI evangelists have spent years now telling me, a person with a master's degree in creative writing, that their chatbots can help me with my writing. I'm going to say whatever I please about it in whatever tone I choose.

Well then how about making two versions, one with AI built in and another without it, for competent people?

I don't think it's particularly complicated to be honest, Starmer and his team dislike, among other groups, immigrants. Once you understand that they're sincere in their horrible beliefs it all makes perfect sense.

I watched the speech as he delivered it. The whole context does not help and does not excuse the racism. He was a lawyer for decades and an MP for years, he knew the importance of tone and of content, it was a racist speech and it demonised immigrants.

I think it's fair to say that someone who describes immigrants being here as a result of a 'squalid period in our history' who are 'turning us into an island of strangers' does, in fact, view immigrants as having less inherent worth than people born here.

True, true. Was also kind of heartening to see that BP had called for help from other groups and still only managed to get a couple of dozen people out.

Antifascism is good and fun, and looking the enemy in the eye is a worthwhile endeavour, but I really would like it to be unnecessary. I'm sick and tired of fascists marauding around my city, occasionally taking up my weekends, and threatening people in my community.

Think that's probably partly that this one was on a Saturday and the last one was a Sunday (iirc), and also this was the hotel they tried to attack last year during the riots.
