Still tho. Mandelson failed security vetting and he kept it himself. That’s quite a decision.

I mean people talk about late stage capitalism, but that really would be verrrry late stage capitalsim.

Yeah it feels sort of cost free and emotionally intelligent really. If JK ignores it, she ignores it, if she’s a troll on it, she looks like a dick (again), and if she engages, she engages.

Tell that to the Ukrainians tho. Suspect they’d find a use for them. Actually - those running bombs in The Creator? If the things can run twenty miles…

Still tho. He failed security vetting and Olly Robbins didn’t inform the PM. Thats quite a decision.

The level of seething hatred for Starmer on Bluesky always felt like a free voucher for psychiatric analysis tho. Paired with - chef's kiss - Ed Milliband as *the solution* chaser.

that speech from The Big Short where he talks about mania and fraud as the two reliable indicators of an impending crash. the states deffffinitely feels like it’s running on mania and bullshit at the mo.

He looks like what you would get if you asked ChatGPT to render a photorealistic human Mr Toad.

Feels true that.

What is fucking going on, seriously.

My grandmother brought me to the London Dungeon when I was twelve. Only waxworks anyone needs. Gore, prison bars, entrails, decapitations, and big plastic skulls in the gift shop.
It was the Alpha and the Omega.

There is a Reginald Perrinesque four part BBC2 satire on this with a Being There incarnation of Corbyn at the centre.

Open AI in particular is a trashfire? Like, the CFO told Altman they couldn’t IPO with the books in current state, so he started banning her from meetings with investors ffs. The CFO. The american coverage is getting 2008 weird imo. Because half their stockmarket & a chunk of GDP is tied into this.

Eh, carries an Irish passport, represents Ireland at the Olympics.

As JD closed the door to his study, poured a stiff drink, and quietly eyed the couch.

Everything is variations on 60 / 40 tho. His base is a hardened nuclear bunker.

I mean Suez is a fading power getting a kipper to the face. This is a true hegemon collapsing into semi-autocracy and incoherence. A bankrupt gameshow host rapist Emperor is a pretty good stand in for Nero.

"Whether or not Trump wishes to share any of the glory going with God..."

Choice dry line that.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER.

Dunno. I just think he’d swerve Rogan? That guy has a gigantic following.

Yeah he didn’t dare go at Joe Rogan tho, did he. And Rogan’s now saying Iran was to cover up Epstein and calling Maga people dorks.

Are you *completely* mental.

Fantastic read ta.

It is so offkey, and so strange I adore it. The whole special was god tier imo. Butter noodles ftw.

One thing this place proves is the power of a thermonuclear block.

It's legit kind of strange that Caroline Lucas’s Green Party is turning into a weird five star party.

Isn’t she a complete raving nutter living with a hardcore loyalist? Lost track of when The Times turned into Selfridges Telegraph.

But when does this actually kick in? Is it weeks from now?

Thats a point. If he’s as clever as he comes across that would be a move really. Is that not… the dreaded internal triangulation tho lol.

And thus it is with a heavy heart that I must conclude that, the closer you get to the hearth, the craaaazier the greens get. Truth is, hard left protest orgs and parties like the greens attract raging full froth demented conspiracy anti-semites like swim-teams attract paedophiles.
