we’re not doing this under Woke 2 sorry not sorry

we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)

is it too early to say this is the best series of the traitors yet

i have deleted tiktok as one of my new years resolutions. i am not placing blame on it entirely but i will say it short form content has undoubtedly made me (feel) stupider, particularly over the past year. what is more angering though is how aware i am of this “decline”

need really twitter back i am gaaaaaged by this latest traitor episode

one thing you have to respect about traitors is that it has systematically destroyed the mystique of every profession. barristers, detectives, magicians, all frauds

bit early for new year’s resolutions but can 2026 be the death of barrel leg trouser please x

one reason people never seem the reference when discussing the death of the high street - online shopping will never force you overheat in your big winter coat in a middle of a rammed bookshop in the run up to christmas

do think it’s pretty appalling that employers can’t even send you a generic email to say your application is not being considered for interview. the hours that an applicant spends on a single application warrants that at least!

Because when you burn down a house and nobody ever rebuilds it, someone is still forced to live in the ashes

NEW: Rent controls are set to be introduced in Scotland after the Government’s housing reform legislation passed at Holyrood

anyway bill passed! scotland has rent controls! onwards comrades

watching the rent control vote by myself in a hotel at labour conference which is just such a depressing and also comically evil end to years of organising for this moment lmao

it was his own staffer 💀

from our final rally for rent controls last night. debate is today and the vote is tomorrow - then towards a future of permanent rent controls in scotland. up the might living rent 💚

also engenders a dangerous complacency where the mass civil society response that is required to actually push back on this stuff doesn‘t happen because people convince themselves “it won’t happen so why should they have to put their heads above water on it“

We are going to avoid worst case climate projections because of them…but at what cost?

big bold beautiful journey was terrible btw. farrell and robbie both being hot still doesn’t redeem it

bastani should retract his “snivelling little shit” statement. archie, although a pedant, is very insightful

In Britain, every time you... — turn on a tap — flip a light switch — board a train or bus — post a letter — drop your child at nursery ... you take part in a system designed to extract wealth & concentrate power. 🧵 From cradle to grave, this is how a failed experiment has shaped your life.

A blanket condemnation of "political violence" in our current cultural context is worthless given the ways that any disruption of the status-quo is treated as "violence." In contrast, Pritzker locating the source of increase in violence in Pres. Trump's ongoing rhetoric attributes a cause.
