Seeing accounts you respect engaging in Whamageddon is like walking downstairs and seeing your mum doing a line of coke. Day’s ruined

This doesn't make capitalism the best we could possibly have it! The problem is people are so used to socialism as a utopian pitch for freedom from contemporary wants that Hypothetical Utopia Socialism is compared to Extant Having to Administer Getting People To Do Necessary Jobs Capitalism.

Reminds me of one of my favourite things I've read web.archive.org/web/20220812171202/https://www.gawker.com/culture/failure-to-cope-under-capitalism

All else aside, how the hell is the Political Editor of the BBC in any way "unsung". He's literally the Political Editor of the BBC

2026 is cancelled

Probably for the best I don’t try and promote my diet app in between posts that are like “hey guys look at the new M&S Chocolate, Bacon And Lard Croutons, I’m definitely not binge eating them in between an entire Lidl bakery lmao!”

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: M&S' £12 "BIG TIN" of chocolates is exactly how you remember Quality Street was as a child, i.e. it's actually a big fucking tin full to the brim of chocolate and not a half-filled plastic tub of sadness

Yeah sorry I don't know who is left arguing that Silksong isn't overtuned but HK is like Super Mario Bros in comparison. The grub challenges in HK are easier than the *normal platforming* in Silksong

It still kind of freaks my nut out that it used to be you would have actual local adverts on TV, for just like random businesses, whereas now you basically *have* to be Coca Cola or it’s not happening.

When my wife left me it cured me of any fantasy that being "Left" was desirable

Reaching maximum productivity

"my mother died in labour, turning blue in the process, and you want to help elect a Blue Labour government?!?!"

Replaying Hollow Knight and holy shit the difficulty spike from it to Silksong is INSANE

I won a lanyard on the river cruise. It has the Tui River Cruises logo on it. Little did I know that that piece of corporate merch is actually a talisman of rampant wokery

Gingerbread Pepsi Max gets two thumbs up from me

This is pretty striking and makes me wonder exactly what Labour have been up to in making policy seemingly in response to / fear of the former rather than the middle group.

Seems probably bad that this guy was functioning as a shadow PM at one stage

People who say Patrick Bateman can't be forgiven because they hunted a BreadTuber are the same people who simp for these folks.

The Home Secretary explaining that the rise in racist violence is, actually, the natural response to higher levels of immigration is a state of affairs that can't exist without the government having largely decided that racist violence is, if not legitimate, at least understandable.

Christmas is my favourite time of year because I can argue with degenerates who think Wonderful Christmastime is bad.

The whole reason we do progressive income taxation rather than wealth taxes is for the same reason I eat three meals a day rather than a 40,000kcal banquet once a year

The thing that most depresses me about this is that you have people nominally on the left who argue that this has not happened and adopt right-wing “taxed enough already” language to justify their taxes remaining low(er)

This (from: www.ft.com/content/75ce...) is something you can *feel* if you are in the UK, especially if you've experienced living abroad. But infuriatingly successive governments and our entire media are somehow absolutely committed to suggesting anyone who wants to change this is the devil...

Felt the need to share my journal entry today. Don't know why. Here it is, make of it what you will.

It's extremely bad for left politics that we are apparently incapable of doing the internal hygiene required to keep these vicious bullies from claiming the mantle of "leftism"

You’d never see this level of propaganda from *my* country’s state broadcaster 😏

Would

Hey guys look they trained an AI exclusively on photos of your mum

Should start a campaign to get Tatsuro Yamashita’s “Christmas Eve” to Xmas no 1. It’s doomed to fail because said song is on literally no streaming services and the only person in the country who wants it is me but fuck it it BEGINS HERE

I’d vote Labour again if they made participating in Whamageddon a capital offence. Not wanting to listen to Last Christmas should get you put on the register.

Labour has efforts to fix public services?

Idle thought - Chelsea Dagger is this for millennials

I will weigh myself in kilos and you will all just have to deal with it. Stones are measurements devised by the deranged

I don’t think Home Bargains knows who the Grinch is if they think “Christmas food prepared by the Grinch” is something someone should want

Everyone understands who is most happy about this, and why they are.

The modal American doesn't have a passport and *god* does it show

I’m very sad about my lack of “grits” and my partner’s ability to have an abortion should she desire, I would shoot myself with my stupidly legal handgun but what if it all went wrong and I ended up with a large hospital bill. Oh, wait

No it isn’t

Me, watching a video about the next cruise ship I'm booked on: ha ha, they do karaoke, that could be fun to watch! Hey wait, what are those lyrics, wait, no, nono, NONONONO

We aren’t obligated to suppress our own beliefs to help make deeply cynical political strategies work

“I went to a tourist trap and paid more money than I think something is worth” is a depressingly common thread of many of these complaints, along with “I don’t actually understand what input costs are and how they relate to prices”

Sizewell 36C

Starmers entire project is one of profound pessimism and borderline irrational hatred of idealism as a corbynite value. He (or mcsweeney or whatever) basically has the entire country trapped in a doom spiral because he thinks thats a mature decision

Ultimately the vision of britain that starmer has is profoundly cynical, nasty and just not true. He thinks that abidicating his responsibility in showing that another option is maturity and doing the difficult thing, but he's literally just creating the hateful country he is so afraid of

To add to this - sites are going to be generally reticent to ban government accounts/officials, because there is a public scrutiny/public interest element there. It is generally good to be able to see if a government is doing or saying repellent things!

Been to a museum to look at planes, trains and automobiles

Bold move for a TUI cruise to be playing Hold My Hand by Jess Glynne. Not because that’s Jet2’s song just because it’s complete shit

I am drinking whisky while watching a silent disco which is the funniest fucking thing lads

Every single Briton, tomorrow morning:

Zoomer folks can and do enjoy lactating and they’re still Zoomer because lactating is inherently ruinous
