Pretty sure it's the racist dog whistling and policies designed to immiserate all but the wealthiest fraction of a percent of our society. Doesn't help that he's also the World's Least Charismatic Man™ though.

Listening to @austinwalker.bsky.social suggesting a unit about aliens on Shelved By Genre on @rangedtouch.bsky.social
Please, please, please read Saucer Country by Paul Cornell for this!

This is badly researched, poorly informed, and at one point flat out biased. Paul McNamee should be embarrassed to call himself a journalist.

Back of the net by @zackpolanski.bsky.social yet again. Bringing his A-game every single day.

Blake would've absolutely smashed a bit of Blanchitsu.

This would bring Essex to its knees. Additional surcharge if the vehicle in question is an ice white range rover.

Americans, please can you get on board with the term "fortnightly"? There is no need for "biweekly" to have an ambiguous meaning.

No. Keir Starmer is making way for a Reform government.

Judged on their policies and their rhetoric, Labour is not a centre left party.

Figured he's a big influence on a bunch of writers I enjoy so I'd check out Borges.

Just finished this. Turns out I don't much like Borges.

We'll have to agree to differ. The labour party is actively supporting genocide, fuelling racist rhetoric (and violence), further eroding civil liberties, and is determined to immiserate all minorities.
I don't consider them a party we should compromise with.

Nice ratio you got there bud

This suggestion would be nonsensical if you applied it to Tories or Reform. Labour is no different imo.

#OtD 4 Oct 1936 the Battle of Cable St took place when Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists tried to march through East London. They were met by over 100k local workers who fought the blackshirts and the police protecting them, stopping the march workingclasshistory.com/2020/02/17/e...

Bosh

If you've not found anyone, Pete Judge is a terrific, Bristol based, pro trumpet player. DM me if you want his number/email

And group 3 might be more likely to come around if they are made constantly aware that Reform is a racist party with racist policies.

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

Reality zigs, the labour party zags. It's impressive how you people are so consistently wrong about everything. Labour deserve the decimation they're going to get in 2029.

Thanks for looking. I went down the rabbit hole and still can't find a contact email, but I think I can get a friend in Canada to buy and send it to me. Looking forward to reading it!

Alas, Aspect got bought up by Hachette and doesn't really exist any more so I can't even find a contact email. I may give in and buy a physical copy.

I really, really want to buy an ebook copy of Brown Girl In The Ring by @nalohop.bsky.social

I wish that was a thing I could do in the UK but it's inexplicably impossible. Anyone got any ideas?

Did you challenge him in any way? Or acknowledge that the things he says are totally at odds with every political action he has taken?

This is not journalism. This is printing their press release. You should be ashamed to have published this.

I have achieved true adulthood. My Sunday roast is better than my mum's.

I just finished reading Dr Bloodmoney. I remain convinced that Philip K Dick never spoke to a woman IRL.

Starmer knows he's already a dead man walking. It's just a question of how long he lasts.

Too late now, but your post about Bastani was 100% correct btw.

On the plus side, 2 of those 3 won't be major parties for much longer.

The truth: we need migration.

The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it.

Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality.

Reject it. Draw the line.

Oh shit, did anyone tell Atreyu they'd been usurped?
