"Unless they can explain how they’ll remove 700,000 armed settlers backed by the Israeli state, presenting “two states” as a sensible solution should be treated like climate denial." possibilityspace.substack.com/p/starmer-re...

Labour: "The first duty of any government is to keep the country safe" also Labour: "We are clear that the Palestinian state must be demilitarised" Keir Starmer is an arrogant colonial toad.

says it all really

Happy Friday everybody, time to kick back and experience shader compilation stutter rather than attempt to fix it.

In a healthy society, you couldn’t pivot from “it's legal to starve Palestinians” to “this is an appalling genocide” without a long stint in the village stocks.

the practiced nonchalance with which the génocidaires are now admitting what they've been party to is staggering

After two years, London Mayor Sadiq Khan has finally acknowledged Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Less than a week ago, he dismissed Green Party leader Zack Polanski's question on the issue as “sixth form politics.” The cardinal sin of all leftists is being right too early.

lmao the British Consulate in Jerusalem just (accidentally?) retweeted me calling them war criminals

This is the exact face I used to pull after hiding my Game Boy Advance in the hollow strut of my bunk bed.

SEO flattens everything. It's profoundly degrading and homogenizing. It’s painful to watch it ruin publications you love, but hilarious to watch it degrade the outlets you hate. The Daily Express, shilling for System of a Down 😅

From ‘The Onion’ Editorial Board:

If you can stomach the fawning tone, Westminster Insider is a really useful source. It offers an unvarnished glimpse into what decades of consequence-free power does to these people's brains.

It’s past time to treat the "Two-State Solution" pushed by our representatives like we do climate denial. They have no plan to remove the 750k armed West Bank settlers who have the full backing of the Israeli state. They’re just stalling for time while Palestinians die.

Charlie Kirk: Gun Deaths "Worth It" to Keep 2nd Amendment

Israeli president Isaac Herzog and arms fair DSEI 2025 are both in London today 🤮

🧵 The BBC is downplaying how damning Mandelson’s birthday message to Epstein is. They only printed snippets, omitting his “friends (yum yum)” line entirely.

Starmer appointed Mandelson knowing his Epstein ties. Now faces calls to sack him. He won’t: Trump would see it as the UK impugning his reputation by proxy. This was a predictable weakness of the bootlicking strategy, but the licking must continue. Starmer is handing this country to Reform.

Here's the 238-page PDF version of Epstein's birthday book. Pages 136 - 145 contain a message from Peter Mandelson (screenshots in 🧵) drive.google.com/file/d/1rR1B...

Emily Thornberry is sending around her recent BBC appearance to ask Labour MPs to support her bid to become deputy leader. "welfare, Gaza, employment rights - too many mistakes" Let's remind Thornberry what she said when there was actually still hope that we could have stopped this genocide:

British law intentionally renders offenders unemployable, undermining HMP’s stated goal of rehabilitation. In a country wracked with generational inequality, it’s deeply moving to see retirees use their relative freedom from consequence to take one for the team. Free Palestine.

Starmer’s Labour in a nutshell: 2023 - my MP @chriscurtis94.bsky.social slammed the Tories for punishing refugee kids. This week - Curtis wrote to me, confirming he backs blocking refugees from bringing their families to the UK. Shameful.

Me in the back of the car: “Silk-song! Silk-song!” @okw.bsky.social: “We have bugs at home”

I’ve long understood Labour as a nest of vipers, but this is so nasty it actually made me feel sorry for Rachel Reeves:

Thinking about Michael Owen’s Hateful Eight again

Zionism is antisemitism

77% of Democrats say Israel is committing genocide

Starmer’s Labour once lied about their intent; now they regularly spout lies so flimsy they’re debunked within hours.

In July, when Blair Institute staff were caught plotting a “Trump riviera” the institute claimed: “It would be wrong to suggest we were working with this group.” Hard to believe then. Impossible now that Blair himself is joining in.

MGS3 remaster, skate, Gears of War: Reloaded AND they put Halo guns in Helldivers 2?! Absolutely mad week for late PS2 / early Xbox 360 era nostalgia gaming.

Come on, man

Israel's official govt twitter accounts are indistinguishable from EDL Facebook groups.

He failed at big boy politics in the big boy country. Now he’s back to playing with his toys.

Daniel Bessner sent me an advanced copy of his forthcoming "Imperialist Realism: Politics and Culture at the End of the American Century". Applying his ideas to the new Superman movie in a sort-of double review led to some really interesting results: possibilityspace.substack.com/p/superman-i...

I owe you an apology. I wasn't familiar with your game.

Selfishly, as the father of a Jew: I really wish these Zionist freaks would stop conflating “killing children” with Judaism. So unhelpful, so cynical, so dangerous. My son has nothing to do with your genocidal political project.

Reading Empire as a way of life by William Appleman William. Absolutely love this dedication to his nan. Reminds me of a mantra of Tilly's that "bad, bad people don't live in our house".

When the British right don’t get their way, they act like the outcome is “unclear” — until the law shifts in their favour. Then suddenly, it’s all perfectly clear.

The Labour Party is run by bullies.

“There is no one they have more contempt for than someone with a moral compass who turns out to be right”

Huge quality of life update in my household this morning: My kid has stopped demanding “TRACTOR!” ("I want to watch Tractor Ted") and started demanding “MONKEY!” ("I want to watch dad play Donkey Kong Bananza").

New from me: youtu.be/yzBo865Ukis

Israel claims to act on behalf of my wife and kids: a lie that puts them in the crosshairs of those stupid enough to believe it. Today I learned they also claim to be acting to secure me a homeland. Apparently I have more right to live in historic Palestine than Palestinians do.

“A lot of beaten wives are mad about this but, if you’re a critic of your husband, you probably don’t want to just cut him off entirely as that might prompt him to act even more insane.”
