"The billionaire press attack left-wing parties, therefore any criticism of a left-wing party is a billionaire press attack" is a proper "all poodles are dogs, but not all dogs are poodles" teaching moment

Amazing that a campaign with a comms department like this wasn't able to bring it over the finish line

It's not complicated though, is it? He's a bloodless institutional climber who hitched his wagon firmly to the Labour Right Blairism Redux project under Starmer, acting as one of its most proud and outspoken enforcers. Now, Starmer's a dead PM walking, he's knows he's fucked too, so he's pivoting.

Call me a cynic, but I'm pretty sure most genuinely oppressed people don't sign off reports about the cruel and racist oppression they're suffering under with links to online stores to purchase merchandise.

Feels important to stress that Phillipson not conceding any knowledge of American politics has nothing to do with Zohran Mamdani's victory as a Democratic Socialist – Democrats of all stripes cleaned up across the board on Tuesday. It's because Labour don't want to piss off Trump, i.e. cowardice.

Forgive the tortured double metaphor, but I don't think it's unreasonable for people to be suspicious of an extended olive branch when the bridge one might have traversed to grasp it has been deliberately and comprehensively reduced to ash.

Martin Scorsese and his daughter Francesca read Letterboxd reviews and guessed which Scorsese movie they were about.

Finnur Dellsén got a nice pic of me on my standard Q&A slide, so now I have a stock reply to any time anyone disagrees with me.

A distraught man came to Broadview searching for his wife of five years after she was taken by ICE at her court hearing. He wasn’t told anything, tracked her by her phone, and was left weeping in the parking lot.

I love when a Wikipedia page was very clearly written by the subject themselves lol

Sonic the Hedgehog. One of the greatest and most attractive characters ever thought up. He can run at sound speed, take out enemies in a flash, and best of all, he's blue colored and knows how to handle the females. Speaking of females, the Sonic universe might also be classified as Hot Chick Heaven

Guess those poll numbers about approval of and support for Israel among Democratic voters are might be finally too severe to ignore lol

Two weeks lol

More and more people are saying it

I’m forgetting where it was published, but I’m remembering the article that interviewed recruits who were all entirely motivated by the sign-up bonus and saving up for a vacation, or a new truck, or some other consumer gee-gaw; one variant of many depressing apotheoses of amoral bag-getter culture.

Between Mamdani’s win in NYC and Labour being overtaken by the Greens in polling, establishment politicians are getting washed by a new generation for whom political communication entails stating what you actually believe, clearly, rather than interminable recourse to three-word slogans.

Wonderful animals

‘US Rust Belt states or UK equivalents like North Durham’ WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT

Also should be needless to say but "X never said this but Y did and X is loosely affiliated with Y by way of skin color or geographic proximity, so XI is responsible" is like literally racism 101. Shapiro is being racist here. As was everyone during the campaign cycle who did the same bit.

lol

Now watching

You can toss your unwanted lunch items, discarded trash and empty beverage containers at Border Patrol agents: It’s legal.

Are there any experts on here who could explain any possible differences between, say, a mortgage for a house that somebody lives in versus a line of credit for a child pornography generator

listen to @bloodwork.show

1) It's interesting that Shapiro doesn't ever substantiate what words Mamdani has used that were "hurtful"— and he implicitly concedes this by then tacking on "used around him by others" 2) This is the posture of a presidential candidate who knows that his position on this is increasingly unpopular

BLOOD WORK / EPISODE 6 THE LEPER IN THE CITY w/ SERENE RICHARDS We talk to the author of ‘Biopolitics as a System of Thought’ about Giorgio Agamben’s concepts of bare life & the state of exception, and how our techno-capitalist present limits how we think and approach life & politics.

This idea that Vice Presidents are powerless functionaries is completely discredited by Dick Cheney, a man who exercised immense degrees of political power and influence while (and by) operating within the rules. If Kamala had wanted to change the course on Gaza, she could have tried. She didn’t.

Bro really said to Trump, “Hey asshole, you’re old as hell” on national television lol

Thank you smokers 🙌

Conor they very famously took the plan that only bailed out banks and not the one that bailed out homeowners too lol

This is full-blown, completely unabashed and unambiguous ‘Protocols of the Elders of Karbala’ shit, and the fact that behaviour and rhetoric like this is treated as normal and legitimate by large segments of American and western culture more broadly is fucking glaring, disgusting and pitiful stain.

Everyone shut up he’s talking to me

It’s just a shame all these oil and mineral-rich nations keep belligerently provoking the United States into military action at a moment where its status as the unipolar world hegemon is being called into question

Er

I'm just going to create a bucket of people for whom whenever they make reference to 'Zohran Mamdani's antisemitism' etc., you can confidently sub in 'my own Islamophobia' and get a better picture of what's actually going on. BHL is right down at the bottom of that bucket.

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".
