How many times do we need to see the same type of shitehawks being slimed into top jobs by the same media outlets, only to explode almost instantly on contact with power? At some point, we have to admit the problem is: trying to permanently prop up fucked Thatcherism, by lying to the public.

They frame it as asylum seekers living high on the hog, but you click through and it turns out the people in question got arbitrarily moved to the other side of the country and the home office didn’t update their GP so they had to drive back. Layers & layers of cruelty and incompetence
This is just revolting cruelty, done to pander to racists who won't give it the time of day. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Government to ban asylum seekers from using taxis
The ban is set to come in February and any exemptions will have to be signed off by the Home Office.

People who "create" AI slop should be forced to consume only AI slop and not be allowed to watch, read or listen to anything made by a human. Let them wallow in the cesspit of their creation.

It is IMO not possible to operate any kind of meaningful democracy when your national press is a joke and a travesty, but your mileage on that may vary. I think it’s incontestable that it is impossible to govern well and effectively, while being in hock to these pantomime clowns.

He connects Charli XCX to Aaron fucking Copland.
Reflecting again on how John Cale’s piano playing on Nick Drake’s “Northern Sky” is one of the single most moving things I’ve ever heard, and also how it's like the thirtieth most historical thing to occur over the course of his career in music. A remarkably passionate oracle. Truly no one like him.

Nothing shows the bloatification of car sizes more than the Ford Ka and the Nissan Micra. The new models are fucking huge. Stop building American sized cars for our tiny British roads. They. Don't. Fucking. Fit.

The strategy makes perfect sense if he's spent the last 15 years having his obviously hateful, racist self soft soaped, ingratiated and welcomed by every facet of the media instead of having his feet held to the fire. He expects it to blow over if he just keeps his head down, and he's probably right
Still can't quite believe that "I only said 'gas the Jews' in a non-hurtful way" was the strategy Nigel Farage opted to go for

@octopus.energy Can you confirm how early in the morning one has to get up to get one of the free Nero tokens on Octoplus? No matter how early I try they always seem to be gone!

This got me thinking, we're probably not too far off a time where we can choose whether to visibly age. Don't want grey hair/wrinkles/beer belly/saggy neck/baldness etc? Fine, take some tablets, have an injection, whatever, done. I'd jump at it obvs. But what happens once it's a choice for everyone?
I'm considering dyeing my hair grey. Saw myself in the mirror - a slightly overweight, pasty-skinned guy in my late forties, with a full head of thick, dark hair that looks like I must be faking it. Looked ridiculous.

How come the people who were splashed all over the papers for a decade screaming terrifying abuse at the anti-racist movement are now roaring approval in unison for the government stripping jewellery off migrants? It’s almost like we should put two and two together about what these people have done.

Well, indincationsseem to be that no ones arsed either way so I may as well carry on. So... how is everyone?
I quit this place and all the other ones months ago so I'd spend less time faffing on my phone etc. Inevitaby I've since gone from taking the occasional peep to frequent scrolling, but not posting so I can still pretend I'm not here. So do I just start posting again, or nuke my accounts altogether?

Intrigued that the Labour Party has a Denmark policy - seize jewellery and assets from asylum seekers - and also an anti-Denmark policy - don’t tax middle earners enough to support welfare state.

The only Legitimate Concerns about asylum seekers are concerns for their well being and safety. For a rich country like ours to incessantly whine about these people as if we are their victims is perhaps the single most pathetic spectacle in British politics over the past quarter century.

I’d focus less on the “Oh no, the factional lads are doing factionalism” and more on “This entire project was always an absurd fraud, and now it is nationally calamitous one and nobody knows what to do”. It’s the latter point that’s going to be more important, in the long run.
