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

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.

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.

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.

The problem with Starmer is that he is first and above all a lawyer, and lawyers are awful. He views the country as a collection of laws and nothing else, which makes him a terrible leader and an even worse Labour leader.

This *and* it is still the case that nobody can adequately explain where Epstein got his billions from. They all wave it away, change the subject, make some vague allusion to him being a clever stocks and shares guy. It never adds up. Where did his money come from.
people are shocked that epstein was barely literate because they still have not grasped that ultrawealthy child sex slavers do not believe it meritocracy. it should not make you feel bad that epstein would think you’re a dork and hate you. please, kill the loser in your head that wants his approval

The Colour of Magic. There are better books, there are a lot of better Terry Pratchett books, and I read it too young to get all the jokes, but that was the first book I ever really lost myself in. There's something about his style, the way you hear his voice as you read, that really sang to me.
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

Answer to this problem is 'who gives a shit.' This is Bond, not Star Trek or Marvel, there's no consistent lore to carry over and no overarching plot to speak of between actors, just don't even address it. The next film starts, James Bond turns up and fights some bad guys. Who cares.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

The first time around Trump tried to govern by cult of personality. This time... I dunno. Sort of feels like the cult's lost the glamour. The old magic isn't there. Right wing Americans still largely hate dems but don't especially love the man himself anymore, at least not to the same degree.

Interesting to see the Reform party welcoming the coveted off duty zeppelin pilot demographic.
Last night, Dick Tice launched Students4Reform (See what they did there, the scamps? They replaced "for" WITH THE NUMBER).
It will be led by Matt Goodwin, a man in his mid-forties, and it looked exactly like you imagine. ~AA

This is phrenology. This is just phrenology, a racist junk science that was discredited basically immediately in, like, the 19th century. This is very stupid. Don't work for companies that attempt to use this, they aren't serious and don't deserve your labour.

It is racist, and framing the story in this way is also racist. Preston is a casually racist idiot and his team are casually racist idiots.
Is the Reform MP who says she’s driven mad by TV adverts full of Black & Asian people a racist or realist? How many migrants would the Tories expel? & should the UK be selling fighter jets to Türkiye?
