Obviously many other examples, but Silver is probably the single most dramatic case of someone whose mind was completely annihilated by Twitter. Like the before and after is SO stark.

*Is* there arguing about whether this is an obvious attack by the far right on the BBC? Outside of the far right's own public statements, that is? The range of opinion I'm seeing goes from "this is an attack and it's really bad" to "this is an attack and it's really bad but ALSO fucking hilarious".

Take a look round social media and you’ll see the Trump fans think it was about the Donald; the terves think it was about gender and Israel partisans think they’ve shattered Hamas. And they’re all correct in a way, because it’s another win for the global fascist movement that they’re all part of.

Trying to write about Strange New Worlds, and already have gotten sidetracked into Saul of Tarsus, Christopher Hitchens savaging David Mamet, Danny Boyle's Sunshine, and Senator Kelly's Mutant Registration Act. Business as usual, in other words.

Yeah, that's not too bad at all. Of course, a year or two from now Adam Hill will be doing a piece directly to camera about how <ratfucking campaign target TBD> has made him realise Polanski is a historical villain comparable to Bill Cosby.

Seems clear everyone thought whoever was in power would have to raise taxes, including the press and the Tories, and the only people who didn’t think this would be necessary were the government, who appear to have convinced themselves the economy would boom out of sheer joy at being governed by them

I made a “how do you do, fellow kids?” joke to someone in their mid 20s who, it turns out, was too young to have heard of that meme. So “how do you do, fellow kids?” is now an example of “how do you do, fellow kids?”

The kind of person who thinks it’d be great if we could just improve society somewhat, and doesn’t understand why their party says nothing can get better and just wants to stamping on migrants and help America commit genocide, while singing God Save The King in front of a billowing sixty foot flag.

That feels right: as far as I can tell, the average Labour member and a lot of their councillors are basically well meaning dorks who want people to have it a bit easier, and they didn’t sign up to be screamed at like they’re in Full Metal Jacket by the worst, most repellent people in Britain.

It’s genuinely incredible to see politician, media figures and activists utterly humiliating themselves in front of a public who well understand what football hooligans are, how football matches are policed and how the press has always talked about football fans.

It's important that everyone understand that Ross Douthat has never done anything *except* write slimy op-eds trying to smuggle far-right ideas into the mainstream. From college on. He's never had a real job. He has no skills, no expertise, nothing that would justify his position at the NYT.

The Democrats endless bed-shitting over the very idea of endorsing Mamdani has been a helpful reminder that no useful distinction exists between actively wanting fascism, and disliking fascism less than even the mildest expressions of socialism.

Zohran Mamdani polled +40% on men under 30. So we wasted all that time on all those think pieces about how we need a Joe Rogan for the left, when what we actually needed were *policies* for the left.

That Glinner has gone completely hatstand over another trans person showing up on Only Connect is made even more pitiful in context, where she's just identifying US cities by their relative sizes and knowing things about Traveling Wilburys albums

Oh yeah the charismatic guy who wants the stuff that's broadly popular and saw off an extremely well funded challenge with relative ease is going to be a burden for the western left. Truly we should envy the western centre with its popular heavyweights like Keir Starmer and Emmanuel Macron.

It’s almost like if people tell you that to win you have to turn your back on poor people, or Muslims, or trans people, or immigrants, you can just say, “no, that’s immoral, we’re not doing that,” and keep doing good old fashioned organizing and campaigning and things will be ok

we can chalk it up to youth and inexperience but the biggest mistake the mamdani campaign made was winning by 8.8% and not 1.5%, which is the margin needed for the media to say it’s a total mandate

Yes, it's true that it would have been better had Cheney been thrown into a lightless box decades before his miserable span came to an end, but this is why people say Lefties can never compromise. Let's meet in the middle, and just agree it's good that fuck is finally burning in hell.

I would add: we only know now, in 2025, that the Sir Keir project was always a Peter Mandelson enterprise because Morgan forced all the lads to back Peter as US ambassador, and they’re all monstrously fucked off at being embarrassed in front of the White House.

We watched One Cut of the Dead tonight (second time for me, first for Meg). Tough movie to introduce to people because the first 30 minutes are not great and you have to be like "this gets really really good and I can't tell you how or why, but sitting through this opening bit is part of it"
