Perfect Tom Stoppard story from DTel obituary: His response to a letter from Harold Pinter canvassing support for a proposal to have the Comedy Theatre in London rechristened the Pinter Theatre, “Have you thought, instead, of changing your name to Harold Comedy?”

It was a three-man team that took the Grok hardpoint that day, and two of us were just there to guard the poet.Whistler was a sonnet slinger fresh from the Guatemalan meter wars, still waking up with the taste of a bloody metonym on his tongue.

I think we should print this out and put it on billboards across the country

Prime example of why the contract between the public and the police is breaking down, regardless of long term crime trends. Thames Valley Police don’t even think it’s their job to investigate this. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The problem with tax rises, is that people are willing to pay their fair share of tax to pay for public services. Unfortunately, people are not convinced that the public finances are fair. Bank bailouts and water companies are visible markers that things are rotten. But there is an opportunity />

In opposition, nobody knew what Starmer stood for. But I thought, well he's just giving the tories enough rope to hang themselves with, he's not interrupting his enemy while they're making a mistake, he's not giving them any ammunition. Turns out he just had nothing to say.

The one good thing I had to say about Labour was that after Brexit, Covid, Boris, Liz, etc. A return to non-headline-chasing, non-dead-cat-throwing, non-personality obsessed politics was such a huge relief. To be back in level-headed Britain was an uplift in itself. And now they've fucked that up.

The only person whose standard of living has improved during this Trump term is Ghislaine Maxwell.

Bear with me here, but I'm thinking a northern soul remake of the blues brothers directed by Guy Ritchie with noel and Liam could actually be a good idea www.instagram.com/reel/DQke97x...

Here is the - distinctly alpha version - Interactive Political Compass Dominance Map: py.cafe/app/MariosRi... Ever wanted to know what would happen if a party shifted position/changed perceived competence? Now you can!

I love this cartoon, I reckon it's pretty realistic of how it really happened ;) chazhutton.com

The new political spectrum is Reform/con, Liberal/labour, green With a labour led coalition, we could shut the right wing populist fruitcakes (who damaged this country with Brexit and continue to damage it with immigration division) out of politics in this country for a generation

This is good to see from Labour and they have to do it, to level some blame at Farage. I just hope it doesn't turn into a platform for Farage to promise those deficient in critical thinking that he'll finally be able to lead us to the sunlit uplands www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Edinburgh castle failing to render, likely thanks to the AWS outage

I feel like @dieworkwear.bsky.social should have an opinion on this fit

People coming over to tell us how bad things are on twitter have the same energy as 'hey I bumped into your ex and she's really into meth now...' that's why no-one wants to hear. Once we loved.

A coat of arms has to be impressive, full of symbolism, it's important, it represents an powerful family or person, so you have to think long and hard about its design and take it very seriously. Or just put some underpants on it. Like Lord Jan van Abbenbroeck did;

Stop the world, I want to get off

@edzitron.com This totally looks like a world I want to live in

Fucking brilliant band name there

Oh Lewis. You could only say this if you had been in a coma for 15 years. The Veruca Salt of British Politics just ignores the past, that includes things she has said recently. Policies that consist of sound bites.

Aplogies that this is a bit ghoulish and conspiratorial, but it strikes me as odd how little traction this is getting. Another CEO has been killed. The people are putting the rich up against the wall. www.axios.com/2025/07/29/b...

Certain episodes of Columbo were released theatrically in Italy, a collection of posters.

I know it's really unscientific and dangerous, but the part of me that just wants to watch the world burn, really wants to see the billionaire bunfight that would happen if the religious right declare AI an abomination in the eyes of god

Wild that trumps cycle of 'say the opposite of what's true' then, 'deny refutals as fake news' not just works but has allowed him to build one of the most popular political movements in generations.

So who do we reckon trump is protecting? Is king Charles on the list? His brother is. We know epstein was at Balmoral.

The dismantling of shame, while well-intentioned, is IMO one of the most overlooked destructive forces on society in the the last 20 years

35% of the value of the US stock market is the mag7, 19% of that is NVIDIA, and *42% OF NVIDIA'S REVENUE IS THE MAG7 BUYING GPUs*. Our god damn economy is supported by whether five companies buy more GPUs every quarter! This is insane! www.wheresyoured.at/the-haters-gui/

Good lord, all this corruption and vice at the head of a country is appalling. Thank goodness we have upstanding princes of the realm to lead us morally and spiritually

We're fucked at the next election. Reform is all over tiktok and the kids will vote for anything that isn't the status quo. And who could blame them?

All trade unionists – just rebellion, or is starmer booting them before they defected to Corbyn from labour

I like it. But how does it work?

One thing is you cannot sustain infinite growth on a finite planet, and a lot of this nonsense and harm is about trying to make a machine with that as it core assumption keep on spinning as consequences keep landing.

this is the most one-sided two-option poll i can remember seeing. you could probably get 10 percent of americans to respond that installing your air conditioner backwards so that cold air blows outside will fix the environment

Gender by Decathlon

So, with America tied up in Ukraine, Israel and now Iran, in sure there's no chance China will think this is a good time to go and visit Taiwan...

So is MAGA classed as a terrorist organisation yet?

I’ve said it before but it is embarrassing that so many intellectuals spent years in small factional battles over the propriety of calling this fascism.

I don't know much about stock manipulation, but if trump and Elon make up and the shares rocket...

Lawbreaking is "out of control", says well-known respecter of laws and rules, Robert Jenrick

So I reckon the grift will be, you pay for a tariff exception.

Murder, she skote

Is anyone running a sweep on whether this is just the biggest shorting hoax yet
