I'd say that's prime luvvy territory, though it would be odd for it to blossom ex nihilo.

"This is a stick up. Give me all of your sticks."

strange these op-eds about women being too angry have all come out the last few days when during the same time there's also been a massive investigation published on an online rape academy with millions of viewers a month and none of them have bothered to even cover it, even as news

This is shocking. Not so much that it's happening, I assume that's pretty common. But that Labour have alienated so many of their activists that MPs are having to do it themselves.

I'd also put real money on anyone asking that question also believing war crimes can't possibly *always* be unacceptable.

When fighting Nazis, you do whatever is necessary. If you're wise you do it first.

You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂

And we are IMO about to enter the final phase of cannibalising and destroying the postwar consensus, and all that remains to be seen is how corrupt and disastrous that has to get to ensure that it gets done ASAP.

Goddamn sexist country; we'd ladle it on if it were cardadad.

There can be no doubt that the biggest source of funding for UK academia is the unpaid labour of staff.

Headline of the Day.

I was a decently successful politician until 2014 when one of the founders of the LGB Alliance stood against me. At the sane time and completely coincidentally there was a manufactured transphobic harassment campaign against me.

I had a nervous breakdown.

Goes up to 60% if you only count the Labour PMs in power after he was born.

Mad fact... 42% of Labour Prime Ministers have had to fire Peter Mandelson.

SHUCK and I cannot lie
You cryptid lovers can't deny
That when a dog jumps out and you come up to its waist
One round eye in its face
Your death's COME

It's a tradition, or an old charter, or something.

Cis people who did some thinking before coming out to themselves as cis tend to be some of the most reliable, honourable and secure people I’ve ever known.

The *entire Starmer project* needs to be understood as one big Jobs For The Boys operation. That’s why McSweeney - Labour’s squillionaire bungs officer - spent 2017-19 running around telling dejected MPs to hold tight, because he was going to hook them back up with their clout, status and freebies.

Like, TLO is a better and more thorough anti-capitalist piece than They Live, right up until you compare the alien designs.

Yeah, the design is so, SO frustrating, because on paper this is an absolute banger in terms of political commentary about capitalism. It's genuinely one of my top three episodes of the first season for that reason - I continue to insist "Daimon Tarr" is a deliberate play on "Donald Trump".

I'm a senior civil servant and my job is keeping naughty secrets from the Prime Minister. Tee hee, I'm so mischievous!

tragic that reeves will never see her exciting plans for 0.1% growth in 2027 realised 😔

Like, are we saying that the only person in this tiny clique of people in politics and media who understood that they had been doing Peter’s dirty work and helping his project, was Sir Keir himself? Because that seems unlikely to be true

Also, why did everyone line up to repeat everything they were told by Morgan McSweeney, given all of them appear to have understood he was Peter’s boy, with mysterious access to Peter’s millionaire friends and Peter’s media contacts, and they could see he was running very Peter-style hate campaigns?

The reason this crisis is rumbling on and will continue to do so is that Starmer can't say the basic truth, which is that he appointed Mandelson for services rendered and they thought his association with Epstein was a bonus.

It's going to be even worse the next time they appoint Peter Mandelson

This is relevant to the contrapoints nonsense too tbqh.

Liberals love making up a guy to get mad at. “Oh why aren’t leftists doing a revolution?” and meanwhile they’re coordinating to keep ICE out of their communities, getting kicked out of university for protesting, and setting warehouses on fire.

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

(Always immediately followed by the supplementary question: why would one want to?)
