I get a lot of AI slop book marketing emails, but this is the first time I have ever been . . . mistaken for Jane Austen.

I have always loved the passive aggression inherent in the phrase "available at all good bookshops."

this is what Steve Reed actually believes

People are protesting *in solidarity* with the Palestinians being genocided not *against* the British or any other Jewish community & it is cynically manipulative & wildly inflammatory to be exploiting last week's horrendous antisemitic attack to insinuate so in order to curb civil liberties

You’d have to be a real nasty crypto-fascist SOB to claim credit for the idea to hold refugees in concentration camps specifically in Green constituencies to punish voters that don’t want refugees to be held in concentration camps

Got a notification for the r/ukpolitics subreddit this morning for some reason, clicked on against my better judgement and hoo boy there are a lot of racists posting in there huh

happy star wars day to this tweet in particular

HE HAD THE BOTTLE READY THE WANKER 😭😭 Wave it now...

one of our local election independent candidates is putting cards on everyone’s car windscreens which show him in front of a giant Christian cross, which in turn in front of a massive Union Jack anyway, I’m sure he’s extremely normal

not to suggest that everything is about trans people but there is also one glaring absence from the big wall of woke coffee shop causes

Polly Mackenzie, hadn't heard that name in a while

Outstanding to be quoted like this in a national newspaper for the millionth time apparently completely immune to self-awareness of the irony there.

I promise you I do not care who your podcast, which I do not listen to, is “brought to me” by

On the misreading of genre this pretty much nailed it: www.slashfilm.com/2142399/the-...

I think it’s also worth keeping in mind that most of the reaction is entirely performative and most of the political and media class don’t actually care any more about anti-Jewish hate crimes than any other (e.g. see how comparatively little they care about antisemitism from white nationalists)

I think this is a better way of going about the disparity between the reaction of media and politics when victims of hate crimes are Jewish versus when they are part of other minorities. It holds the mirror up to those in power and not to the Jewish communities which are not at fault.

“The bible! The musical!” “Jesus the musical!” “Right wing South American dictator! The musical!” “Everyone’s cats! There’s no story!” “Trains! On roller skates!” “A silent horror film!” “The Troubles oh and also football!”

On a related note, I became convinced that Andrew Lloyd Webber is trapped in a personal Producers style hell, where he has to come up with worse and worse pitches for a musical that will definitely lose money, as part of a scam, but they’re all hits. Try it. The pitches are agonisingly bad.

CRUCIALLY: any normie can upload some garbage to the internet today. in 2006 if you posted something on YouTube you were a de facto outsider artist. see video here

Can you imagine if Reform re-announced this at conference? It could take up to ten seconds of jangling car keys before Chris Mason could be persuaded to talk about the lighting cues or how well printed the lanyards are.

Anyway, KPop Demon Hunters is arguably a rich narrative, so let's be careful about labeling the cyberbullying toady a Slavic icon.

If I had just gone to the media saying that other parties were putting my party's candidates at risk of violence by calling us "far right", I would give it more than 48 hours before having my Home Affairs spokesperson post about how we'll do detainment camps in areas run by our political opponents

I know we've long given up having the rule of law here but this is utterly fucked, I can't believe we're just letting this shit happen during an election campaign

I am once again asking what‘s wrong with The Pitt fandom

"There should be room for those who believe ... UNRWA should be defunded and those who believe reform is possible" comical

when i forget what mar a lago's called:

Gonna be a bit vulnerable on main. If you or anyone you know is going to see Rosalía at the O2 Arena on Tuesday, hit me up. It's going to be my first time at the O2 and I get a bit of anxiety in arenas after being at the Manchester arena attack and I'm going by myself. 💙

BOOOOOOO

I love how the key premise of Race Across the World is "flying sucks! What if we did the journey on the ground and had an *experience* instead!" and yet pretty much without fail every season has a moment of "actually you have to fly this next bit for safety reasons loloops"

Every splashy New York Times profile of a right wing influencer.

Philips misrepresenting the Macpherson principle here. If a victim feels a crime was racially motivated, it is investigated as one. That doesn't mean it is in eyes of the law. Not until courts reach a verdict. Racism isn't just whatever anyone says it is.

I heard there was a steamèd ham That was a key part, of Skinner's plan He had to lie to Chalmers, not through malice There was a fire, it wasn't fair The super asked "what's happ'ning there" And Skinner said "Aurora Borealis" Borealis Borealis

wouldn't it be nice if we had some good mainstream political journalists

Unrelated but there's an ad for a podcast I keep getting that says "'not my monkeys, not my circus', you know it's like a better way of saying 'fuck around and find out'". No it isn't! It's ok to not know the meaning of things! You make yourself sound worse when you do this!

incredible things are happening on this Website

in case you were wondering what stage of capitalism we're at, google search is now treating the word "crumble" as a misspelling of the cookie brand crumbl

nobody warned me as a child how many of my adult weekends would be lost to admin

General: That barrage damaged it! It's hurt! *cheers from soldiers* *smoke clears* General: PULL OUT!!! PULL OUT!!!

This kind of themes prom, please.

Stonewall, whose new Chair is the Rowling-praising former leader of Scottish Labour, have just released a guide to the Scottish and Welsh elections which completely fails to flag up that Scottish Labour manifesto is intensely transphobic.

Richard Dawkins walking along minding his own business until bugs bunny in a dress and make up turns up and blinks at him seductively. Richard Hawkins hoots and hollers shouting “WELL HELLLLOOOO NURSE!” runs towards bugs and immediately steps on a rake and smacks himself in the face.

Love to pay more than fifty whole pounds to travel standing in a strangers armpit in a train vestibule that smells of sweat and sick. Bonus: behind me are the doors to the first class carriages, which take up more than half the train, are almost empty, and are guarded by a little man in a waistcoat
