Why is there still no wealth tax?
The taxation debate is stuck in the groove that tax is a burden and the only thing that matters is to make it as low as possible

The first comment on YouTube for this video is "This song sounds like it's airbrushed onto the side of a van" and there has perhaps never been a more apt assessment of a song than this

Really interested to hear what the "I didn't vote for this! I was just SO WORRIED about the price of milk and eggs" crowd has to say for themselves right about now.

Never forget and never forgive the people who voted for this tyrant who rapes children.
The president
-Is occupying a major city with armed paramilitiaries
-Is blackmailing treaty allies to hand over their sovereign territory
-Is trying to set himself up as chairman for life of a UN rival with $1B fees for permanent membership
-Is talking about canceling elections

I've been a bit quieter than usual these past months because @astra.bsky.social and I have been going deep into what we are calling End Times Fascism. The research has been bleak, I won't lie, but it's also been inspiring.

The lead up to fascism creates great art — punk and hip hop, coded horror movies, prophetic novels and thrilling plays. Fascism itself, once in power, only produces patriotic kitsch.
I wonder if there is any connection between the quality of horror movies and the level of American fascism?

World of Warcraft, Sinister Strike card.

The constant deadlines and the cold finally got me. Caught a nasty bug. Spent the last couple of days just sleeping and barely eating.

I am so looking forward to the warm weather in MegaCon and Lake Como Comic Art Fest.

The Fayed/Harrods case bears the hallmarks of sex trafficking

At least 400 women have come forward in the wake of the Harrods abuse scandal so why aren’t they being referred to the National Referral Mechanism?

Innit. I want a proper, working, publicly-funded NHS for everyone INCLUDING Reform supporters and Briefcase Labour Dickheads who are so grown-up they LOVE Palantir contracts.
"human rights but only for people on my side" isn't revolutionary no matter what side you're on, you've just reinvented fascism from first principles

Thank you so much to @zackpolanski.bsky.social for inviting me onto his podcast. We talked about critical issues the media & political establishment is ignoring such as the extraordinarily dumb & dangerous UK defence deal with Peter Thiel’s Palantir
