if you see anyone expressing shock that a candidate who exudes warmth and authenticity and wants to improve the quality of life for working class people won over a rapist whose entire campaign was "that guys a terrorist" that's not a smart person. you don't have to listen to that person anymore.

Absolutely insane. Labour would have purged and smeared someone like Zohran Mamdani. Wes Streeting's politics align far more closely with Andrew Cuomo. The lessons from Mamdani are about how to defeat both the right - and the bankrupt "centre".

so Corbyn is actually incompetent, right

I don't know the exact day, but today is probably the tenth anniversary of Doomsday for me - the day I found out I had MS.

I think Trump getting an MRI doesn't indicate anything in particular. he's one of the most important people in the world and 79 years old, I'd be scanning him weekly

Huge thanks to everyone who watched my first ever set for HÖR Berlin. Still new to the whole DJing thing and have a lot to learn––apparently you're not supposed to just queue up an hour's worth of Audioslave tracks and then leave. Much room for growth!

Sorry but it’s hard for me to care about the BBC’s risk of being defunded or whatever when frankly it’s been primarily used to normalise right wing rhetoric about immigrants, trans people, and others. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Training and paying doctors to work in the National Health Service is actually EXACTLY where I want my cash to go as a taxpayer, Wes, and I'll have you out at the next election.

my only contribution to the price of games discourse (one which I'm wildly unqualified for) is that I think multiplayer games would be in a healthier place if they had subscriptions

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

Israeli leaders screamed their genocidal intent at the top of their lungs all the way through. No crime in history has been so confessed to as it actually happened. But almost all Western media outlets suppressed this. Kudos to @scotnational.bsky.social for not being one of them.
