I don't think it's cowardice. I think that they are OK with what the GOP is doing. The sooner folks reconcile with this, the better.

Final day. Then i get repo.

Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai was inspired by Mamdani's life.

You can kill the man but not the idea

Tempted to post the Big Train sketch with Simon Pegg as Greg Dyke but I don't want to run the risk of giving Glinner even the tiniest amounts of money.

🚨BREAKING🚨Tim Davie has been replaced as Director General of the BBC by Luke Akehurst.

This order is being justified on the grounds of the pause Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson ordered. The one libs were saying was a masterful strategy yesterday.

they're actively trying to incite food riots to call for a state of emergency

So we're gonna have another round of "the left must protect/support the BBC as it currently is because they'll miss it when it's gone." And all the arguments ever boils down to is "Maybe a stronger BBC will just continue to harm the left more, but it benefits me so fall in line!"

Narcissistic class solidarity with collaborators. Dissidents want you to pressure the apartheid state. “Not All Apartheid Academics”— this is laundering the reputation of a class by individuals who disavow that class. PERVERSE. You, also, opportunistically feed like a parasite off of real dissidents

It's always useful to compare how Comfortables give policy that only harm others unlimited time to work itself out vs how they react to policy that does affects them, i.e. demanding ever more outlandish ways in which the EUref be overriden instantly.

Every time I see someone invoke the idea of "adults" being in charge two things run through my head. First, you can't help but remark upon what a shitty job the "adults" have done. Second, I wonder why everyone is acting like they're a little baby?

Now the genocide is at a lower intensity Comfortables are going to be working hard to ensure Israel faces absolutely no lasting consequences. (As others have pointed out, most anti-genocide academics in Israel support the boycott).

lol she got his ass and he knows it

If you haven't listened to it before you really should check out this This American Life episode about orthodox Jews taking over a school board with a large PoC population: www.thisamericanlife.org/534/a-not-so... www.dumptheguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Sydeny Sweeney's initials being SS is a bit too on the nose.

Regardless of the truth of the matter, the Corbyn faction is *once again* leaking to a media outlet that was relentlessly hostile to them 2015-2019. And maybe what they're leaking is true but it sure seems like they're using it as an excuse to stitch up the conference. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Worth reading the article to see just how bad a communicator Jones is.

This is remarkable because Patrick and Gabriel quote Watson directly in their first book explaining how the much-vaunted but probably criminal “Labour whistleblowers” BBC Panorama bullshit came directly from him, as a stunt he personally orchestrated and forced on the public as a terrifying scandal.

Thankfully it didn't come to pass but we should still be very worried that the entire British Establishment tried to unleash Zionist violence on Birmingham last Thursday. Even after it fell through no Sensible with a platform came forward to criticise it even though it'd be such an easy win.

Stayed up last night to watch the Warhammer reveals and the audio was terrible. After they took a 15 minute break to fix it but it turned out worse I just gave up. We'll probably never know but I'd love to find out how such a big company fucked up so badly.

"Lesser evilism" is just liberals declaring they will never compromise so the left has to.

UK: Rockstar Insider Speaks Out: 'There Were No Leaks—This Was Union-Busting' www.inkl.com/news/rocksta...

Sorry to SpacedockPost on Sojourn, but just want to signal boost this unfortunate situation. The game and DLCs are heavily discounted on GOG so grab em if you've ever wanted to. Battlestar Galactica Deadlock was my first gig with a major sci-fi IP and a fond memory for me. Very sad outcome. -Dan

"Not to be too woke" during burgeoning American fascism is crazy. "The one friend that's too woke"—you've seen dead babies for 2 years and a research institute said there would be 4 Billion deaths before 2050 with unmitigated global heating. Americans go kicking and screaming towards a decent life

"Taking billionaires' wealth won't pay for everything" is true to an extent but directing the monumental amount of resources they're sitting on to things people actually want and need will be tremendously beneficial and create a positive feedback loop.

What my mind always goes to with this stuff is that pretty much every mainstream journalist completely agrees with Jon Ronson that "social media pile ons" are absolutely monstrous and must be stopped but then mumble the mainstream media regularly doing this is a bit of a shame.

As this thread shows fascism isn't looming. Fascism isn't creeping up on us or growing in power. Fascism is here and entrenching itself.

Another recent account

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

So you see, my interest in encouraging women to get swole is solely political.

Strength training is political. We have a right-wing which has taken over physical fitness spaces, and hijacked “warrior culture”. We need a muscular progressivist visions. We need to be strong to build the world we want. Building my guns for the revolution. 💪🏾✊🏾 #Swoletariat #ResistanceTraining”

am reminded of the old joke: what did James Watson discover? Rosalind Franklin’s notes.

The really fun thing about this (not people getting harassed for debt payments) is that student loan debt is heavily, heavily collateralised and optioned. Could get very 'Cool Zone' for some very big banks.

Mosques set on fire, shot at with air guns, and smashed with paving slabs. Just the latest examples of the real world consequences of the political mainstreaming of racism www.theguardian.com/news/2025/no...

Having to feed the cats two hours early this morning is definitely not going to have any repercussions for me down the line.

I tried to watch the Last Jedi again and I'm sorry, I just can't. Poe Dameron prank calling General Hux is just utterly cringeworthy for me. TFA and TLJ both seem to think undermining the threat the villain poses ASAP is a good idea for some reason.

Very clear that the argument Mamdani had it easy because Cuomo was a weak opponent also applies to Spanberger.

It sucks for everyone looking forward to GTA 6 that it has been delayed but the second trailer absolutely killed any interest I had in it. It was a weird kind of uncanny valley situation where it looked so realistic I judged it as something live action and it just seemed really generic.

joe kennedy III in 2018 spilled the beans himself on some of the factors here on why plenty of dems are still extremely hesitant to go in for legalizing weed and it's not just because 'calcified to imagine they're still in the I Didn't Inhale era'. prosecutors! cops! www.boston.com/news/politic...

With what we're seeing towards not only Mamdani but towards his voters from Jewish institutions, we white Jews really, truly have to accept the fact that our communities have MASSIVE Islamophobia, anti-Arab, and anti-Black racism problems.

To argue that the environment Mamdani was campainging in was less hostile than that of Spanberger is to pretend the NYC Democratic machine isn't just as hostile, if not more so, to the left as the GOP.

I will always tell leftists to read the Jakarta method and killing hope and really process what we will be up against and what that means for the movements we build

When we say phrenology let's be clear what that means: A way to abstract all prejudices the ruling class holds into a "scientific" justification. The oligarchs want to be able to say "I'm not a bigot, I'm just abiding by the decision of the infallible machine."

I knew Marineland was a completely horrible organization which committed widespread animal cruelty, but since Marineland went bankrupt at the start of this year, a load of animals have been left in limbo, in both Canada and France. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The fuckers got away with it. The company. The people who made the decisions. All of them. They got away with killing hundreds for the sake of a few cents per share of increased earnings. 🤬
