Just so we're clear - to be considered a serious economics guy, you have to know that neoliberalism is the best economics (presumably it's just never been done properly like communism), anyone who suggests any kind of fringe economics like, say, Keynesian Macroeconomics, is "deeply unserious"
It's smear o'clock at the Guardian again! The bourgeois Starmerrhoids there are as scared of @zackpolanski.bsky.social as they were of Corbyn + are again terrified they'll have to stop wringing their hands + actually put them in their pockets + help the poor rather than just posturing for cash

I'm not saying you should but, it would be fairly easy to show your kids The Snowman every year, make them listen to Peace on Earth/Drummer Boy on repeat, and then convince them that David Bowie comes down from space to bring them presents every Christmas

If I wanted to write the most cocaine story you've ever heard, I don't think I could do better than Tarantino was on Bret Easton Ellis' podcast naming random actors he doesn't care for

Ok, I just checked the trending for Spotify Wrapped and it's about half people posting their Wrapped and half people posting ironic complaints, so I think we're officially onto the meta portion of the discourse where we should switch to complaining about the complaints #PSA

Most people think Feliz Navidad is sung in Spanish, but actually Jose Feliciano is a terrible mumbler and it's about his mate Philippe who's dad was an Irish road labourer
