Ain’t I been telling ya

I've seen the video. It's an execution.

Hi it's me, author of "Fuck Unions: Why Dems Need To Destroy Those Dirty Sweaty Hogpeople" back with my latest book, "Gone Woke: How Democrats Lost Their Connection To The Working Class"

Yes now it's embarrassing

100% tariff on the MM/DD/YY format.

Such a pity for Starmer. After capitulating and capitulating he said "ooh steady on" to Greenland, and now.. what? Trump's turned on him? So he debased himself for nothing? If only he could have seen that coming somehow.

I've seen this described as a form of Gell-man Amnesia, but I think there's something else. LLMs *are* (now) quite good at coding, so coders have the opposite effect, and are more likely to think gen AI can do everything.

Speedrun Iraq is so much simpler: the American president saying "we're doing this for their oil" and the British PM explaining "we're America's lapdog, we follow whatever they say"

Remember: It is a mystery to every journalist and pundit why this Labour government are so roundly and universally detested.

It's a big day for those fluent in the good grammar of civility looking to deploy decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

I knew Starmer's first response would be "fast moving situation, we only have the statement from the president of the United States. I can't give any opinions yet, all very uncertain"

Nigeria hit with FIFA peace missiles

Here for those interested is the answer to my most frequently asked question of 2025 (and every other year till I die). I'll keep trying for a new set. MERRY BLOODY CHRISTMAS. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Mwj...

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

I wrote about NYT, CNN, and ABC’s casual acceptance that US dictates and Trump’s arbitrary use of American violence against Venezuela is somehow a form of “international” law. It’s not, and US media should stop implying and/or outright lying that it is.

If it's not dishwasher safe I'm not having it in my house, and that includes your children.

Cyclist turns down trans exclusionary honour for woman cyclists (and you can feel the BBC’s teeth grinding about it). "If they don't want to ride with all women, then it's not the kind of ride I want to be part of".

Insane in the year of our Lord 2025 to read an article using the word "boffins". I assume Angus Daeyton will skewer this on HIGNFY

I for one will welcome, etc. www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2560607...

Treasonous human rights laws mean special forces now can’t even murder scads of civilians in a series of bloodcurdling war crimes and lie about what they’ve done while the government covers it up, without facing a lot of impertinent questions

really thoughtful piece about the current media reporting template lithub.com/maybe-dont-t...

making an endless parallax scrolling landscape

Today is the 63rd anniversary of the London premiere of Dr. No, which means (well, obviously) it’s time to tell you a ridiculous shaggy dog story about the theft of not one but two portraits of the Duke of Wellington

Trump pardoned the silk road guy

10/10 punchline, no notes *chef's kiss*

I feel it’s very irresponsible and inflammatory to accept donations from extremely partisan pro-Israel billionaires to help wreck your own party, then conceal them from the authorities while booting the pro-Palestine left for antisemitism, while you facilitate the genocide of the Palestinian people.

This is great fun. Play a few times for the writing, then another 10-20 to ɢᴇᴛ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ᴅᴀᴍɴ ʜᴏʀsᴇ

Crazy this would happen to one of the world’s oldest parties of labour after being taken over by a right-wing puppet directed by a right-wing advisor with right-wing politics who was mentored by a right-wing toady to large capital and oligarchical interests, all of whom pathologically hate the left.

Vichy Labour. Deliberately and repeatedly affirming and amplifying the inflammatory far right *lie* of "uncontrolled migration".

They must have sprayed paint on something

In Swedish, a word for what you eat to bridge the gap between meals (or while waiting for the main course to cook) is stödmacka. It means "support sandwich." A similar word in Norwegian is ventepølse, or "waiting sausage."

Performant, a thespian insect

Do you see how yesterday’s deranged conspiracy theories - conclusive proof that you were a dangerous lunatic - are today’s boring, obvious truths, barely even news: there was an organised internal wrecking campaign closely coordinated with the press, Sir Keir’s campaign was a fraud etc etc

"McSweeney’s first proper job in the Labour Party was [working on Peter] Mandelson’s 'Excalibur' database, which collected information about political opponents of New Labour (including disloyal Labour MPs) that would then be given to journalists."

I see this one is boring old news that everyone always knew about, and it isn’t an insane racist conspiracy theory any more. Funny how that works.

In a debate on the Palestine Action ban on Monday, the security minister said it was based on "clear advice and intelligence", and people protesting against the ban "may not know the extent of its activities" Today, we are publishing some of that advice www.nytimes.com/2025/09/12/w...

STARMER: hey I'm appointing this close friend of the world's most notorious paedophile to be US ambassador :) BRITISH PRESS: ok :) [One year later] BRITISH PRESS: wait a minute

Herzog has been a consistent cheerleader for Israel's campaign in Gaza. His assertion that there are no innocent civilians in Gaza is key evidence in the genocide case being heard at the ICJ. Basic facts in the biggest news story in the world, of which Balls displays blithe, swaggering ignorance.

the UK is an excellent data point for the US debates we've had because the dems have tried to find a middle point between the various parts of the coalition, it's hard to tease out causality - whose approach is working UK is just "here's what happens when reactionary centrists are in charge"

“Countering” Reform by giving them everything they want

Things are so bad in America they're all shortening "the fall of western civilisation is coming" to just "fall is coming"
