cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch www.theverge.com/podcast/8914...

I know I’ve got some Labour local gov’t types following me, so I want to say this clearly so that you can share it internally as appropriate: I will never again vote Labour while these policies, or Wes Streeting, are in place. I will not vote Labour at any level because of this.

Right! Back in my day, we met at a bar. Before anyone bought anyone a drink, we first exchanged social security numbers so the bartender could provide us with a complete background check---a service bars used to provide. After the background check, we used the bar's payphone to call references

when I say 'social conservatism' what I really mean is that it's nice when people have well paying jobs

Absolutely horrific I hope Hannah is ok. We’re in a very scary time. The vilification of progressive ideas, and the unpersoning of certain groups (trans people, immigrants/POC, disabled people) is having real consequences, beyond even those it seemingly directly affects.

olds are always obsessed by 20 somethings because they are scared of their own mortality and trying to control the future. in 10 years every newspaper headline will be about how gen alpha are cancelling the Sunday roast.

all posting as always. all he cares about is posting.

Thornberry imagines a Labour Party that values human dignity.

Your regular reminder that the UK is in fact a high trust society and anyone who implies it isn’t is either selling you a pup or has bought one.

Kemi and Farage’s line on this conflict is supported by eight per cent of the population

The next few years will feature so, so SO many columns and Substacks by people claiming that things were going well and Labour just needed to 'stick with Morgan's plan'.

Quite literally “we have always been at war with Iran.”

some insane mouthbreather puts out a "if i was a child today i'd have been transed" dirge. meanwhile these are actual news bsky.app/profile/evan...

I love it when a CEO is asked if his firm is a societal sickness or benefit. Just once I want a CEO to say: “Oh we are a fuckin disease; but a disease manifest in already morally dying host. So what are you gonna do?”

if you think the greatest threat to effeminate gay boys is the trans movement and not the cis straight men who overwhelmingly exclude and brutalize them then you should walk into the ocean immediately

we've now moved to BBC journalists saying it should be illegal to oppose what was until 3 days ago an unheard of position in British politics

Prediction markets, like crypto, like AI, are simply just another large-scale expression of COVID trauma among the mangerial class and now they're using them to turn a fucking war into a pyramid scheme they can scam each other into investing in. www.garbageday.email/p/sorry-babe...

“We thought we were living in a politically neutral slave state.”

guy who has only seen culture war, seeing a real political crisis: getting a lot of boss baby vibes from this

you say we shouldn't bomb Iran, but what's your alternative, not bombing Iran????

Great thread from Alex here, and I think there’s most instructive thing I’ve read that influenced my view on this is Maya Forstater’s blog where she lays out her own “theory” of feminism. Which is quite simply… social conservatism. This the woman who for GC beliefs protected in UK case law

the interesting comparison here is that incident stress debriefing (ie therapy immediately after a traumatic event) is counterproductive and makes later symptoms worse

doing the "on his deathbed he received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada" bit but for Khamenei

There's possible reverse causality, there's potential reverse causality, and then there's the fear that young people living with their parents will hurt their job prospects.

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

gay Les Dawson doing bottom in law jokes

odd bit of the Gorton and Denton 'sectarian voting' whistling is that it seems likely the Asian vote was more split than it has ever been.

Look it's very simple, Britain faces an existential threat of socially conservative Muslim voters bringing in Sharia law by voting as a bloc for woke progressives who will turn all our children trans.

they just need to alienate a few more voters, I believe the labour party can reach zero percent

I do my best but if anyone in the UK needs some trans heroism to prove we are humans deserving of respect I'm available and have little concern for my own safety

That meme is never not relevant.

are England good at #thecricket? objectively yes, they've qualified well for the semi finals. but #thediscourse is unsure if they deserve it.

everything else aside, it's so funny that the picture is of him posting. all he ever wants to do. terminally online

This is importantly incorrect - Labour did a whole bunch of evil culture war shit whilst raising government spending and improving worker rights. The take-out is that riding those horses at the same time doesn't work, working class right wingers are too far down the rabbit hole to win with policy!

you know I would say her matching pink phone case really makes this, gives Goodwin a huge "sad loser man at the end of Legally Blonde" vibe

doesn't seem that insane. inner city seat with solid left wing majorities, moderately large minority ethnic population and some gentrification. votes for a left liberal party against an unpopular centre left govt who have stated repeatedly they don't want those votes.

underappreciated but very funny gorton and denton sideplot: the conservatives nominating literal sex matters (uk terf group) trustee charlotte cadden, only for her to get the worst result for the conservatives in by-election history and lose her deposit

a thundering endorsement for woke

the people of manchester have spoken: britain demands trans rights and drug liberalisation

It took Putin and Orban years to do what they’re doing.

fucking genocidal

You may not like it, but "FBI for bins" is what peak Lib Dem policy looks like

The big difference between the US and Brazilian/Korean case isn't that voters care less about democracy. It's that American elites basically did not care about it after two weeks

one thing that strikes me is how little things have moved on. I want kids today to like new weird games I don't understand! roblox released 20 years ago. I played minecraft when I was a teenager. they're still playing GTA 5, a game that came out for the Xbox 360.

I see it's another day ending in Y

going to be mad circa 2028 when Peter Mandelson is acting as a key prime ministerial advisor from his cell, like a sort of New Labour Hannibal Lecter
