Look, I know this is far from the worst thing here but for FUCK'S sake

Blimey. Clive Lewis is not holding back.

Seeing Mamdani win in November was a little taste of what was possible in the Fascism Is Inevitable timeline. The Gorton & Denton result is a big spoonful of tiramisu.

Jokes on you, Oxford Street had been pedestrianised for years. It just now we're telling the drivers

why does Jeremy Corbyn, a man who clearly does not enjoy leading political parties, keep running political parties

What happened to a nice game of chess?

Oh, no. Lizzie is on a roof. She's Not Like Other Girls, I take it.

TFW you pay into a political party and various charities but then it's the Substack subscription that halts a mass eviction in the space of a few days

Asif Aziz's Criterion Capital halts mass eviction after London Centric uncovered what was going on. Hundreds of Londoners now receiving bizarre door-to-door visits blaming misinformation and being asked to record videos saying they don't want to be evicted. www.londoncentric.media/p/asif-aziz-...

LM Montgomery Douglas Adams AL Kennedy Terry Pratchett Ned Beauman

Mad that it’s one billionaire scumbag who’s behind these massive-scale evictions in London AND the mass closure of London pubs AND beloved institution the Prince Charles Cinema being in dire straits AND the high street being clogged with cruddy candy shops. A one-man enshittification engine.

Wowowow i thought the man had magic blood this delegitimises the whole of the blood royal you cant do that dont get to pick and choose your betters thats the whole point innit what da tuna

Start your Sunday angry with this impressive and maddening story:

Of all the stories from women in here, the one of the male diner who, when asked to stop catcalling the only other (female) patrons in a restaurant, got up and poured a drink over her food, is the one that's going to stay with me.

So they want to take Andrew out of the line of succession? Impose some kind of fitness test for who should be head of state rather than rely purely on birthright, you say? Interesting idea. Maybe we could all vote for someone. Just a thought.

Glad to have discovered this week that my tofu intolerance seems to eased off, cos it looks like I'm not eating chicken at Wagamama for a while.

My goodness, I missed this by @michaelspicer.bsky.social. It is as near to perfect as a thing can get. I actually did an honest-to-Betsie spit-take at the Poundland joke. And the meta coda is out of this world. youtu.be/gDH0Tz8Yb9I?...

I hope every rich nonce in the UK & beyond is brought down because three hours in a custody cell with no staff and vending machine coffee breaks Andrew like a dropped trifle

Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.

I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

I only recently found out that measles can make your immune system forget some of the infections it learned to fight off previously. Which is bad BBC News - Measles makes body 'forget' how to fight infection - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-...

need to make everyone in San Francisco watch this video every morning and every night

Laughing and crying and then laughing some more

I BLOODY LOVE THE OLYMPICS

Predictable how focus of BBC coverage starts out by "both siding" this, then treats trans rights advocates are the sole ones to blame, no mention for example of groups like Sex Matters attacking the Girl Guides, or that Cass's review has been massively debunked by genuine peer reviewed studies.

Sodding 6Music news bulletin playing a clip of Cass, saying children have been confused by 'people at the extremes' and that people 'in the centre' are silent on the issue. Well, I'm in the centre and I'd quite like Hilary Cass, a woman definitely at the extremes, to fuck all the way off.

Really good thread explaining how LLMs like ChatGPT function, why they don't think and why that car wash post isn't the gotcha it looks like.

Reminder that if you were born between 1970 and 1990, you can get MMR boosters free on the NHS. Just call your GP surgery and ask, they'll get you a nurse's appointment pretty quick www.nhs.uk/vaccinations...

Dystopian future in Boots with the SAFER POD S3 dominating the aisles. Put down the cleanser. You have 10 seconds to comply. You have 5 seconds to comply.

This is blackout poetry to me

A relationship that's doomed to collapse as soon as Sam asks what she was doing next to his boat (or whatever it was) and Annie admits she hired a private detective to track him down.

38% rise?!! Perhaps if they stopped digging up my neighbourhood every few months they might save a few quid. Not had my bill yet but I'd better get a stiff drink prepared.

FIFTEENTH my god, this is brutal #skating #WinterOlympics

And watching her lean forward and give Lizzy Yarnold a break when she started to get emotional - Balding seems like such a lovely human being.

Skeleton looks absolutely terrifying, bloody amazing work.

STP Guy has joined bluesky!

Watching the Winter Olympics and remembering something Ahir Shah told me once. Posh people do dangerous sports, like skiing, because if they break a leg and have to spend weeks in bed off work, they don’t stop earning. Think it might be as good a class test as what you call your settee.

CW: transphobia 6Music news bulletin as I woke up used 'biological male who identifies as female' to describe the Canada shooter and, really? In a 2 minute bulletin they can't say trans woman? That's just spiteful.

I love this guy. This is my new favourite guy. Look at him, so calm, so in control of his subject. And what a subject.

Sometimes he looks like this and I momentarily forget he's currently obsessed with walking on the kitchen worktop with muddy paws, because how freaking cute

Unless it's to announce his government is finally going to start fixing the stuff they were elected to, I don't care. And if he mentions small boats I'm going to shoe in my TV and send him the bill.

mashallah he is gone, to celebrate I've made the piece I wrote last year about arguably the most embarrassing project I've ever worked on free to read: youngvulgarian.substack.com/p/so-about-t...

One time, back when I used to review films, I took a friend whose father had cancer to see Ivans Xtc and if you know anything about that movie OH MY GOD I wish there'd been a content warning.

Is... What... Did Pepys think someone gave birth in the middle of a dance? Whoopsie daisy, just slipped out there.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. "It's on Confluence."

Knock on the door from a lad (OK, 20s, leave me alone) introducing himself as an energy advisor saying that most people on my road have been flagged as overpaying on their energy; asks if I compare my energy rates every month. No reference to the massive SCOTTISH POWER logo on his jacket 🙄

I think people whose brain doesn't do this are weirdos.

I’ve always liked Mark But now I love him Well worth 9 mins of your time (the film, however, isn’t) youtu.be/DTyUni8dbkE?...

Huh.
