New video is live! And I'm kicking Labour again because some people are wondering how they ended up being so fascist and I decided to take a writing exercise and make it into a video youtu.be/d7KQfUOpaXk

I'm live and I'm trying out a new game and trying to get back into something resembling a schedule with some Power Wash Simulator 2. www.twitch.tv/skthecrusader

If you all want some other air conditioning discourse the family group chat has produced some Turkey vs the UK beef, where my aunt who has AC has claimed using it is for cowards after my mum pointed out we largely don't have AC in the UK.

Enjoying the dynamic in my family group chat where family in Turkey are asking my mum how she's coping with the heat, but deliberately ignore me also being in the UK because I posted a screenshot from my stream once I heard Turkey fucked it at the world cup

I've actually solved the heatwave everyone, I'm going to go outside and tell the sun to fuck off.

A lot of people are very confused by the first law of thermodynamics it turns out.

Ed Miliband would actually arrest you for having a cocktail while chilling in your bin

The only "cancel culture" that has ever existed is the one targeted at minorities, women and the left. That is how power works. Many liberals were taken in by the "free speech" moral panic because (as in the case of "free markets") they lack an analysis of power. www.theguardian.com/culture/2026...

Hey maybe the French aren't crazed Europoors but worried about managing a real problem

It’s actually surprising that even the lefties are like all fuck europe white supremacy etc and I’m like… I live here in the UK with 10 million other Black & Asian people and lots of white folks who have the same politics as you does that even figure in your brain

we didn’t need AC when I was growing up in England. now we do! it’s not good!

There's a certain smug anti-anti-data center reflex; oh, look at these hicks, afraid of Gloovis, it's just a server farm! Listen: You're not the ones asked to provide the land, pay for new (dirty!) energy infrastructure, or pay higher utility bills. You're asking *us* to subsidize your consumption.

enjoy a rare gapes i just found

Ah yes the *checks notes* columnist for the NYT knows more about heatwaves and (transport) infrastructures than the professor who researches this.

Stepped out into the heat to grab some stuff and have decided every fossil fuel exec and right of centre politician should be hanged.

low-res burnham ready to go for all who need

Shouldn’t this be more of a thing for the commentariat generally, given it seems the Labour Together lads are implicated in what looks - to my untrained eye - very much like *actual criminal offences* involving undeclared bungs, secret investigations and quite likely election rigging?

easy; because that one was happening to past-me and is finished, this one is happening to current-me and is ongoing

Burnham's already been so shite that I just know that I'm going to have to give him the Starmer treatment through a multi-hour video exploring how much of a cunt he is.

I would strongly advise Zionists from invoking the Khmer Rouge when making any arguments defending the State of Israel and its ‘right to exist’ in its current form according to its present preferred (existentially non-negotiable) modus operandi.

Something I think that doesn't get mentioned much is that Burnham was part of the Labour government that had done fuck all over Hillsborough and had to be booed at the service marking the 20th anniversary to actually take it up as a cause www.rte.ie/sport/soccer...

A lot of people are about to learn that there's no such thing as a former New Labourite

Commentators who gush about a ‘King of the North’ softie will not remind us that James Purnell tried to scrap the interest free element of the crisis loan to leave people in dire straits paying 20% interest. You hire people like that to inflict pain. bsky.app/profile/poli...

With the best will in the world here: everyone was warned about this at length and nobody wanted to hear it - very angrily shouted it down, with finger-pointing and accusations. I’d guess the damage has now been done and won’t be easily reversed.

lmao what a baby

I love being right about the exact lines these people would take over a month in advance youtu.be/wj0dlG4vKww

Seeing a lot of "Darren Jones is going to run" talk and I'm laughing at the idea of a bigger loser nerd than Starmer running against Burnham.

Maybe the reason people struggle to name Starmer’s achievements but can readily recall this, his comments on cutting off Gaza, him kicking people out of his own party en masse, blocking Burnham from G&D etc. is because he made a loud performance of being a thoroughly nasty piece of work.

In a way the press were unfair to Starmer, it's just that they were too lenient throughout his time as Labour leader and allowed an obviously unfit person to be shitehoused over the line because the point was to repudiate the left and remove them from public life rather than good governance.

Beginning to see some journalists rally around the idea that Starmer's failures lay in him not being especially political, but that's a pretty cheap conclusion to come to when his failure was entirely down to his politics being dogshit.

Would you still love me if I was an anglophile?

You’ve always been the Caretaker here, Mr Burnham

There’s no decency in participating in genocide. Starmer is a Zionist.

I imagine there are e.g. Labour councillors are quite tired now of explaining that they don’t personally want to freeze pensioners or starve children or set the police on transgender people and so on and on and on. Except that’s not astroturf and media bullshit, that’s just what’s been happening.

I would put forward that the reason it's not identified as such is because the socially conservative, racist and transphobic political core was in such great tension with any social democratic instinct that the entire project collapsed once that gave out and just became right wing.

The fun part is: the spokesperson is obviously correct, and nobody except the most hardcore partisans will now repeat Sir Keir’s big claims about Cleansing His Party Of Racism, because everybody saw Morgan bragging to ITV and the Times about how he cooked that up offscreen with the press.

Saw that Limmy was live so I went to check in to see what his reaction was to Keir Starmer resigning

the Labour Party is a thoroughly bourgeois party, because, although made up of workers, it is led by reactionaries, and the worst kind of reactionaries at that, who act quite in the spirit of the bourgeoisie.

It's sort of interesting that the perspective on much of the populist right is that Starmer was an ultrawoke superlib, because that in itself basically invalidates the whole political strategy that McSweeney et al cooked up for him. That they'll always think as much is pretty much the whole problem.

Apols for the super obvious posting but I had some conversations with people today who didn't know, so sharing in the hope it'll help someone: Keep your windows, doors and curtains SHUT when it's hot. Only open them overnight when the temp drops. If your curtains are thin, try towels etc. Good luck
