The only person who can probably fix Your Party

"my kids are defective!" is the battlecry of nearly every reactionary movement

I saw a clip the other day of someone saying “immigrants come here and some of them get 20 quid a week” and if that really doesn’t tell you something about this country’s continued lowering of standards I don’t know what will

Probably something to be said that as our society continues to devalue life, one of the first jobs to exit newsrooms and never be replaced are those who wrote obituaries

Kind of interesting to me that in less than 10 years we went from people saying you had to watch all videos/listen to all podcasts etc before making a judgement about an influencer, to being told that you can only talk about them if you refuse to engage with anything they’ve made

we weren't meant to see other people's pores

Various sources have told me that at the root of the fall out between Corbyn and Sultana is a disagreement about the party’s policy on Funko Pops

The more I think about it the more I’m Convinced that high definition video has been a catastrophic mistake for culture and society. We should have really stopped after 720p

Online video is too high quality and this is why there’s no good YouTube videos anymore

Streaming has let us control what we watch and when we watch it but the fact that young people nowadays will never channel surf and find Godzilla vs Monster Zero at 1 AM is a tangible loss to the human experience.

The whole Your Party drama should be a stark reminder of why it’s the organised cabal of satanic pedophiles that have the most political power. They probably can manage a mailing list

I suppose it’s difficult to make a documentary if most of what your subject has said are racial slurs lmao

A little bit of navel-gazing on the last twelve months of trying to run a start-up local news organisation with no investment or plan, entirely funded by readers. www.londoncentric.media/p/london-new...

Stop trying to start political parties and start forming bands

LOL we’re at “Kabul is a holiday camp” now. Makes you wonder why we fought a twenty year war there to defeat the hated Taliban then jacked it in - and indeed you’ll need to keep wondering, because no coherent explanation has ever been forthcoming.

Say what you will about them but at least Change UK managed to have a Nando’s dinner first

Damn I wonder if he watched the Digimon movie

I think the funniest thing about Britain’s toilet obsession is that nobody involved ever actually wants to make toilets good or nice

Zack Polanski might actually do really well pursuing this strategy of just asking British politicians a follow up question

Jokes aside, this is precisely why Reform and Silicon Valley are so deeply in cahoots. They intend to steamroll the public interest to give the billionaire techbros what they want - and what they want is everything.

Never watched The Summer I Turned Pretty before but if I was in the writers room I would suggest Belly ends up with a secret third guy whose name is just Steve

Jesus Christ.

We’re about to see racist content online that you can’t even begin to imagine

The “Debate Me Bro” Grift: How Trolls Weaponized The Marketplace Of Ideas Among the attempts to create hagiographic eulogies of Charlie Kirk, I’ve seen more than a few people suggest that Kirk should be respected for being willing to talk to “those who disagree with him” as a sign that he was…

The easiest thing you can do as a British politician is to be a friend of a pedophile, and Starmer couldn’t even get that right. Generational loser

#gaza Asked and answered: my very own @10kpostspodcast.bsky.social sub provided some really compelling Palestine aid links so I’m going to share them below 🇵🇸

V much a thought in progress, but it does feel like we’ve ceded a lot of the framing of ‘free speech’ to the right, and it’s worth pointing out that instead of producing anything artistically or even culturally interesting, it’s given us an abundance of online slop that apparently must be protected

I think really all my life all I’ve ever seen and heard is pretending bad things are actually good and good things are actually bad from politicians and the political media. But the reaction to this weekends protest is maybe some of the most powerful pretending I’ve ever seen

The British public is getting Trumpier (even if they dislike the guy himself)

That’s interesting: the author of this one has chosen to take his book to a publisher based in America, rather than a British one. Why might he have done that, do we think?

One of the final print piece for @rollingstone.com that @andrewperez.bsky.social and I got to do before we become @zeteo.com guys On Stephen Miller’s republic of fear www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Earlier this year I joined a writers workshop where my first story was about a fringe far right group who desecrated gravestones by spraying red crosses on them. The main feedback I got was that it seemed a bit far fetched

jesus christ

The main thing I’ve learnt from British political news in the past few weeks is that none of Starmers inner circle have any idea how to buy clothes that fit them

Are you a digital archivist or know someone who is? Looking for one or more to interview if possible!

Really funny that the adolescence boy who embodied the short lived concern over white boys getting radicalised online got given his award by Sydney Sweeney

We need to understand the libidinal composition of anglofascism. It's a carnival, it's pints and packet on a Saturday. It's the feeling the cruelty might finally be worth it, because you get your share, laundered through the images of owned lib, sad migrant, and the cheeky, horny, deporter in chief.

One thing I’ve been thinking about since the fash march this weekend and the sheer size of it, is how many people haven’t really paid attention to how much the far right has changed in terms of what it’s selling - it’s more akin to a religious phenomenon influenced by American evangelism

Ok I think we desperately need to put an end to these kinds of podcast duos

Even on her own terms this basically isn’t true lol. Anyone who has been paying attention (the ones who don’t get regular bbc radio 4 slots I guess) could see how many once “centre right” figures basically got radicalised to support mass deportations etc *because* they were bullied by Groypers

Probably does say something that the tech guys absolutely knew how they could come to dominate global politics and it was by making their products as expensive and difficult to use as possible

Online trads going to church for the first time and finding out it's not an IRL version of their personal Based internet club always cracks me up

A totally serious commitment and not at all extended in only one direction.

Pretty much every person vox popped on that march talked about housing and the lack of affordable housing

Ok, pack it up lads. Bosh was all fun and a laugh but unfortunately the polling guys have discovered it

Naturally many are asking how the left can take on the resurgent and seemingly abundant new right, whether this involves more organising, mutual aid, marches. But the more I think about it, a big part of it is just being annoying and persistent. Tommy Robinson has been kicking around since 2007

Come on Keir you silly cunt, just move a tad more to the right and these freaks might vote for you
