I've had cheese dreams more coherent and logically consistent than this.

Even aside from all the bullshit race-science underpinning IQ in general, those r numbers aren't really something I'd be shouting about.

Say what you like about about Maccabi's racist, hooligan fans, but they do have excellent comedic timing.

Guardian headline: Tel Sviv football Derby between Hapoel and Maccabi called off after rioting, dated Sunday 19th October.

I love Brisingamen, owl service, etc. But Red Shift stayed with me longer than any other piece of fiction I read as a, slightly melancholic, teenager. Levels of emotional complexity and depth that most other fantasy writers could only dream of.

I'm very much not suggesting anyone actually read it. Although I did watch a 4 hour video essay by someone who did.

I think that's the position most of us find ourselves in, mate. The reason the Renewal guy was getting grief is that he doesn't give a shit about any of that. He wants an ideological purity he can spar with from the right.

Horace, i mean this with love, but I've got some bad news for you about the PLP.

A really dumb crow, trying to do standup, complaining that Zack Polanski's politics aren't rooted in a deeper intellectual tradition.
The crowd boo. "Get better material!" they cry.
The crow panics. All his queue cards make the same stupid point about Zack's apparent lack of theory.

Its the editor of Renewal. Safe to say he may have an ulterior motive for attacking the leader of an insurgent left party, that isnt Zack's inability to 'understand social democracy from a Marxist viewpoint' or whatever.

Interesting that a man who spent his career writing counterfactual wank fantasies where the fash always win, still feels the need to do so even when they ARE actually winning.

It was. He's very well informed apparently, and the passing of legislation that may allow a thing obviously = that thing will definitely happen. He is very smart.

But..but.. Alex Andreou promised me they would do and called me silly for suggesting otherwise.

Two people discussing a stupid idea:
Well did it work for them?
No, it never does. I mean, these people delude themselves into thinking it might, but... ...but, it might work for us.

Have I said something stupid on the interwebs? No, it is the posters who are wrong.

This meme made me laugh.

A meme with a character from Watchmen whose name I can’t remember, saying:

It is 1982. I am one year old. Tron bombs at the box office
It is 2010. I am
twenty-nine years old.
Tron bombs at the box office
It is 2025. I am
fourty-four years old.
Tron bombs at the box office

Hes just saying all the things that people on the left want their representatives to say and are objectively correct?! The man's a rube, a bumbkin, a country cousin.

Oh he was actually in the Lib Dems 10 years ago? Well guess what dickhead, the last decade has been somewhat radicalising for lots of us.

Wah wah wah, why cant you be an old fashioned vulgar Marxist and make it easier for us to attack you, Zack?! Why!?!?!?!

David Klemperer @dmk1793.bsky.social · 19d

Something I find striking about Zach Polanski is how - unlike the vast majority of those who played a key role in Corbynism - his politics are so clearly not rooted in any kind of deeper analysis or intellectual tradition. It's all just a surface-level synthesis of 2010s left-wing slogans and memes.

Never mind. Found it. Ffs. What a load of bollocks.
