Interesting that the idea of another EU referendum is regularly discussed on broascast media as something that would cause division and thus a bad idea. But plans to deport literally millions of people are discussed as administrative questions.

Every time they get a victory, they celebrate before finding themselves disappointed the next day when they wake up and learn that trans people didn’t just vanish

Well, he's certainly showing he's more than a match for Starmer in the "say nothing of substance but still manage to annoy everyone" stakes.

This is correct. In the universe where the Mandalorian is made on a fraction of the budget and filmed exclusively in either the United Kingdom or New Zealand it is much, much better than what we have now.

Also if a pundit sees anything on the Internet they don't like that thing becomes the position of "the left" regardless of what rando was the source. Republicans are enacting Jim Crow 2.0 and hanging with Nazis but calling them on it is inappropriate.

I think this may be the eureka point imho: Green Party isn’t a relentlessly negative campaign platform, much like Liberal Democrat’s who also did well. This is a struggle in narrative tone perhaps?

Starmer’s settled status in Downing Street revoked by the Home Office.

Some glaring evidence here that people who love to say they Tell It Like It Is, and that they Don’t Take Shit From Anyone, are usually just telling you that they scream at waiters who get their order wrong.

My painting CANOE LANDING I loved painting the reflection on this one.

Confession

If you enjoy this kind of hand-in-hand collaborative campaign stuff when the Times is doing it for Wes, then just wait until 2029 when they’re doing exactly the same thing for Robert Jenrick.

‘And it’s exactly 14 words!’

I’m not going to blame the child victims in It, ultimately blame lays with the clown and more broadly with a callous society that produces a clown such as that, but kids should know not to talk to sewer clowns. Maybe that flies in Maine but not in real America.

"The Night Feeling" - my oil painting

I’m in a really grim mood this week because a candidate for a new hire at work that I’d really have loved to work with was passed over in favour of the most obvious cultural mismatch imaginable and it has just drained the life out of me.

This should be a no-brainer. For Christ's sake STOP Posting obvious AI-generated political cartoons! Bluesky is awash in this shit these days. There are tons of real live human political cartoonists here, posting terrific work. Repost those. If you're unclear, here's how to spot AI slop:

Me enjoying the internet: The world is terrible and I am sad. Me getting on top of my addiction to the internet: The world is terrible and I am sad but also I do not exist.

you shouldn’t learn about bands from shady TikTok manipulation, you should learn about bands by hanging out with a girl you like but are also extremely afraid of

GB News repeatedly presented Reform UK and Conservative politicians and activists as being ordinary members of the public, without declaring their political affiliations. Byline Times investigation reveals pattern of behaviour by the Channel, but Ofcom still refuses to act

People. Jist dinnae.

We’ve been here before: All the same people who were very happy to agree that Politics Is More Of A Vibe Actually and what matters is public sexual intercourse with flags, suddenly hooting, swooning and rolling their eyes at ideas like “let’s plant some trees” or “should we make our own drugs”.

True centrism has never been tried

Believe it or not people pointing out you're being confidently wrong about something may actually be talking about that thing and not using it as a cover for something else

If I was Iran, I’d be saying “We will only negotiate with Obama”

Look. Yes, I AM paying for him to come back to Hamelin, guilty, and yes, children keep disappearing, but I just really like the song he plays!

Foggy: This isn't wasting time, it's intelligence gathering. Community organising! Compo: Thee's only got twenty followers, and two of them are Howard! Clegg: It's funny, you'd think having two Howards would be better, but it turns out two Howards following you add up to less than just the one.

You absolutely don't ever have to hand it to Tucker Carlson.

oh my god look at this

Even after almost 20 years of using social media I still can't acclimatise to the experience of watching fairly normal people lose their minds in front of me. I keep thinking of that Radiohead lyric from 15 Step: "You used to be all right, what happened?"

This is the closest I've seen any media point out how the weekly Fell For It Again cycle goes.

Honestly what the fuck are you talking about

TypeScript 6.0 is now available! This release brings better type-checking for methods, new standard library features, new module features for Node.js, and more! But most important, this release brings us one step closer to the upcoming native-speed 7.0! devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/a...

This article is darkly fascinating as an example of how transphobia infects your entire ideology. The core argument is that we should not believe people when they say they are trans, were sexully abused or have a mental disorder.

Helen's argument is absurd. Progressives never said "believe people no matter what" — the reaction to West's book is in fact a good example of this! It's been widely criticized by progressives.

If you're replying to a post about torched ambulances in London with a point about Israel, you've crossed the line into antisemitism. And you're doing absolutely nothing to help any cause. Even if you consider yourself one of the good people. Maybe especially so. You've just caught racism.

When you finally wonder if maybe you’ve contributed to a moral panic that has led to the most extreme assault on minority rights since Jim Crow
