The problem with the idea that centrism still has a place in politics has far less to do with ideology imo, and more that it can't exist in a culture dominated by reified images, decontextualisation and overstimulation. There's no amount of wonkery or gradualism that's going to cut through

NEW: The End of the Line: the centrepiece of Saudi Arabia’s Neom gigaproject - a 500m tall, 170km long wall-like building intended ultimately to house 9 million people - can’t get out of the ground, say more than 20 former Neom architects, engineers and senior executives. ig.ft.com/saudi-neom-l...

move fast, break things, steal a record-breaking amount of things, create cognitive diarrhea answering machine, tell government pwease hewp or human centipede AI economy will no work

Just watched Zohrans victory speech and he sounds like Morpheus addressing Zion before they have the big orgy

Really love this format of right wing political analysis

If I ever met Eva Longoria I would tell her that her name was almost an anagram of Evangelion

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

really inspiring victory speech by Zohran

dying at the concept of posting this about yourself about zohran mamdani winning completely unironically

Centre-left British moderates on Bluesky: a heartening win for Mamdani, a man I admire and would definitely not campaign to have expelled from the Labour party if he lived here. Centre-left British moderates on X: New York has fallen to Islamists. You'd all better start reading about "Taqiyya"..

Godzilla has appeared in 47 movies, yet his acting has never improved.

Zohrans improbable victory should be an inspiration for all of us to pursue Our wildest dreams. Take up skateboarding even if you have a bad back. Call your ex girlfriend and tell her you understand how to love someone now. Start a Ukelele math rock band.

Reminded me a lot of Corbyn using prime ministers questions to vocalise issues that affected people who spoke and wrote to him, using their first names. At the time the British press patronised him for it, and took it as a sign of his incompetence

The real victim of Mamdanis historic victory aren’t the billionaires of New York City, or the landlords, or even the ardent zionists. It’s actually me

Unironically probably yeah

BRO WHAT

That's a new one - been asked to speak at an event for free (that *isn't* new), but instead of the usual "exposure" the proposed pay off was "networking opportunities". Hmm.

Just heard about this in today's Trashfuture and it's nuts. Shady unregulated lending turned a car parts company into a debt bomb. www.ft.com/content/165f...

Unfortunately Australia is now producing racist rap metal songs youtu.be/O4rtjoSPhyc?...

they’re selling dollars for 94 cents over on polymarket rn. it should be 99 cents but there’s some weird arbitrage going on

At this stage I wouldn’t be surprised of Zohran put out a video where he shocks the waiter by ordering in perfect Mandarin

Zohrans already got his shooters out huh

i have been shitposting continuously since 1994 and anyone on social media who says "nooo it's bad when you block people" or invokes echo chambers or bubbles, you block that fucker first as hard as possible

If I was a rich person complaining that people didn’t like me I would personally try do something good with the money

Ok what’s the craic re the “What is Left” podcast

The Amazing World Of Tomorrow

These days if you carry around a corrosive acid designed to harm people you could get arrested. Thanks to woke Starmer

Ok man but have you seen your last name

I know what happened to Heath Ledger was a tragedy but I do sometimes wonder how he’d feel knowing what the impact of his version of the Joker had on society

One of my uncles believes that Zohrans father cheated during a game of cricket they played in Kampala in the 1950s and never apologised or acknowledged it. I wonder if I could The New York Press to run it

Confirmation in this thread that these people can never be satisfied, & there’s no point trying, or even engaging. “Concerns” about any aspect of immigration are always proxies for opposition to immigration in general. The goalposts are in constant motion, & the end destination is ethnic cleansing.

If we are going to forced into a slop war with AI, it’s imperative as artists/writers/musicians etc to create even more incomprehensible slop

Zohran is a better person than me because if I was in his position I would just be saying “No Cuomo” before every sentence in the voice of Lil Wayne

I also imagine “luxury car” in this instance might just mean cars that are automatic or have video functions for parking guidance and you know, stuff that helps people with disabilities

So did it work?

[listening to the new Lily Allen album] I’d never use my dojo as a pussy palace. I would treat it with honour and respect

Zohran was on tv the other day and my son smiled so much. I am going to become the Joker (deadbeat dad version)

A Russian girl I went to uni with got really into Peep Show in our first year but bc she was watching it with fan made subtitles she kept referring to Mark as “Mark Horrible”

It’s hard to maintain that the left are the most dangerous and destructive force in politics who should be reduced to one block and opposed tout court if you recognise that there are factions who want to liquidate entire social groups for failing to adhere to their definition of acceptable life.

Yes, this is wingnuts and cranks all over: you can never appease them by walloping migrants or minorities or by kicking the poor. Every concession you give them, every group of people you sacrifice to please them, is just wasted. They don’t respect you or feel grateful, they reset and demand more.

i am going to [redacted]

not just for arabic speaking constituents but also for listeners of for the chapo tabletop rpg in which he created a NYC sultanate

i wish i had an app which let me gamble away my onlyfans bill and child support

Zohran will either be made or broken by his upcoming interview on the Adam Friedland show

The Dutch radical right maintained its vote share this election. One election pledge was to deport the “children and grandchildren” of migrants. No amount of integration will ever be enough for some, because their policies are just a thin veil for bigotry My piece www.irishtimes.com/world/europe...

JD Vance and David Harbour are at the forefront of an emerging phenomenon id like to call being an “anti wife guy”

My son decided to wake up at 4.30am so I’m now forcing him to finish watching HEAT
