Oralè Resister Now this is Fiesta of Real Democracy Defenders! Go Portland

It’s just like that story in the Twilight Zone movie, where there’s that fucking dumb child in charge of life-and-death everything.

A valid criticism of communism (IMO) is that central planning is more brittle and prone to devastating mistakes, rather than many individuals making smaller economic decisions. But we seem to be at a similar place with insane, and insanely powerful, billionaires www.reuters.com/world/us/pet...

This effortlessly catchy track popped into my Spotify feed the other day and then I see they’re playing round here next month - what a win! youtube.com/playlist?lis...

NYT not sure if executing civilians is outside the line.

Calling it - we’re fucked. Met up with my extended middle England family over the w/e. It was speaking to them that made me realise we were def going to Brexit. And this time it was non-stop ‘the migrants’.

Canadian forearm smash ignored by the ref #RWC2025

Going to Green Man 2026!!!

Nothing makes me consider my recreational habits more than when I put on a new movie that looks exactly like what I would enjoy, and the option that comes up is ‘Start Again’.

Must be a little weird right now for the Helldivers 2 system designer who designed the stratagems combos.

Liberal commentators I follow post loads about racism and flags, then post about Banks online comments about Valance - but crickets about Linehan’s online sexual harassment of a 17 y/o.

On a cycle today and a herd of cows was completely blocking the gate, so I had to heave my bike over the barbed wire fence and carefully clamber over - confident my cycling shorts are padded in the right places to protect me. The 1st person I meet coming the other way is a naked rambler 😬🚑🏥

Terfism explained

Taxi for Blue Labour. And don’t let the door hit your Reform arse-cheek on the way out.

Having spent a couple weeks of years dealing with carehomes for my mother in law, I am completely mystified by where the Thursday Murder Club is set. It may as well be Hogwarts.

I love living where I live

What’s most unrealistic about Hostage is that an immigrant’s child dying would set any sort of sympathetic political or media agenda in the U.K.

Green Man was just sublime- Kneecap, Wet Leg and Underworld were amazing headliners, but also Hiro Ama, Joshua Idehen and Ash Kenazi were magic.

My wife’s ceramics business was damaged by brexit, by increasing costs to her EU customers, and now, thanks to Trump, her US customers have to pay a flat rate of $80 (for maybe a 1-2 hundred $ purchase). We can fix one of these - but the U.K. govt hates U.K. small businesses.

The GC movement, everyone from the billionaires to those smug centrist journalists, are the cruelest and the most vindictive people I have ever come across in 53 years.

Nightmarish discovery on this mornings dog walk

The Windrush scandal saw actual UK citizens detained, deported, denied care, worse than anything Trump’s done so far. But British authoritarianism hides behind manners and “reasonableness.” We see it again in the state-led, media-backed hostility toward trans people.

Storm over Sussex

Nice to see a bit of rugby now in this episode of the Angus Gardner show #ARGVENG

#Lions players be like

As a big fan of Boyle and Garland, i didn’t get 28 Years Later - plot holes, inexplicable motivations, computer game style infected types and the strangest tone change at the end. V odd.

Middle-aged dads in pubs, ep. 1: 15 minutes of swapping harrowing tales about how their families stack the dishwasher. Each one more shocking than the last. Heads shaken. Trust shattered.

My moan about Bluesky is the immediate handwringing by liberal figures about Goodwin, O’Brian, Badenoch (etc) latest bullshit about the English race, remain cowardly silent - so complicit - about the UK’s relentless, rampant transphobia.

You'd think somebody would actually do some basic journalism at these papers & realise that there have been more attacks on women in toilets by Gender Criticals since April than attacks by Trans Women since 2000, & ask why the government is actively supporting these attacks, which is a bigger story

Last thing I said to the teenage when I left him the loaf I’d just baked was ‘slice it properly’

Happy #DazedandConfused day!

#Orbital tonight

Sea mist

Sea mist

The the SC and its interpretation over last couple of weeks has been the culmination of several years of GC activism, supported by the centre in the UK, and my anger with them boiled over in a conversation with a friend yesterday

EHRC’s Friday night guidance update was a deliberate move by GCs to box Labour in on trans rights. Starmer will be too scared to do anything about it.

Seems straightforward for #Saints … game wrapped up?

Dog walk

For now, a celebratory cigar. Tomorrow the obsessive bigotry resumes.

valid every day but especially today: love & strength to trans pals, you don't deserve all this shit being flung in your direction, here's to hoping these freaks find a new obsession soon and you can live your lives peacefully and happily x

Lol - lots of people explaining tariffs in depth this morning

Yesterday confirmed the 3 stage process of discussing GCs with many ‘normal’ people: Stage 1: Ignorance, or the Trump/Signal approach ‘I know nothing about them’. Stage 2: Denial - ‘They can’t possibly be that bad’. Stage 3: Silence - when shown the evidence a complete refusal to opine.

Foggy, sunny, foggy and sunny

Dog walk

England just don’t play as well when Mitchell is off #engvita
