You're all focused on the first sentence, but I want to talk about the second sentence, featuring what might be the weakest ever constituency link.

a burns supper with an Indian twist

belated burns supper: veggie haggis keema, neeps masala, tattie rotis

"Done at the direction of Stephen" is a fucking insane quote right?

Well, thats an hour of my life I'm not getting back.

Fake "fattest and fittest" infographic

Obsessed with this AI slop infographic from the LinkedIn Lunatics subreddit

Yeah in reality it more like "My grandfather was a miner. And thats why I think we should make immigrants lives worse."

"My Father was a toolmak-"

*single gunshot rings out*

Hard to overstate how strong the consensus was 12 or so months ago that Trump II meant a stronger dollar.

"Got to oppose the alliance of Western Democracies against the authoritarian petrol state thats killing them, because I am a left winger, and 40 years ago Russia had socialist in its name."

I mean the US is *checks news* almost out of NATO.

What imperialism?!?!

That's absolutely disgusting from her.

Does she think there are no schools and hospitals protected by NATO?

oh cool the guy who kept following me on twitter and every few weeks, noticing i wasn't following back, would unfollow-refollow so i'd get a notification and clearly was a clout goblin from start to finish, he might be an mp ok then VOTE GREEN

10 year fixed in July 2022, with pricing agreed in April.

I was under the BoE rate by the time it got signed.

"Suella Braverman is to the Tories, what Jeremy Corbyn is to Labour" would seem to be the obvious play, just phrased.a.bit more diplomatically

The thing I found incredibly revealing was the “Oh I joined because it was a great place to socialise as a young person”, how on earth does that not set off alarm bells in your head that it’s no longer a true statement?

It also shows that Reform is, despite it's protestations, the most "small clique in Westminster" party of the lot.

Stunned and betrayed to discover that Professor Matt Goodwin was not the wholly neutral and unbiased expert on the far right which I believed him to be!?!?!?

incidentally think transphobes did something similar! spent so much time discussing the quasi-philosophical issue of What It Truly Means To Be A Woman, Deep Down when the issue should have mostly been "how are these very much already existing people meant to live in the world"

Sharron Davies ranting against 15 minute cities, because of course she is.

Suzanne Moore in the Telegraph saying she wants to... kill all dogs??

Julie Burchill asking "does it matter if Grok undresses us all?" in The Spectator

Graham Linehan in the midst of his now four-day-long double down on Alex Pretti's murder being justified and fine.

Calling transphobia a 'gateway drug' to the far right undersells it. It's pure accelerant. Grimly fascinating to guess what crankery becomes any famous transphobe's secondary obsession, cos they all have one: 15 minute cities are fascism! Grok noncing is cool! ICE are good! We should kill all dogs!

Anyway look forward to him being presented as an academic expert next time he's on QT.

Wait, I thought he was a neutral academic? Surely it must be some other Matt Goodwin who turns out to be a partisan politician!

I've heard of professional companies presenting to their clients about the efficiencies they have made using AI, to then be immediately hit with 'OK, so the invoice is decreasing right? Because if we're not getting a human, we're not paying forna human".

Yeah, I'm sure my Servicing company wouldn't be so awful if they didnt know there was a six hour train journey between me and me putting a brick through their window.

I think you are right. I did enjoy the film, and its not bad, but mess is the right word.

And having to do Bane meant doing the broken back, which meant, oh fuck, I guess this hostage situation is going to last 8 months?

Ledger?

Also they were not brave enough to actually make the Robin film

Wait, Bale's Batman only Batmaned for 18 months?

Same with this chart.

Oh I have a TP link access point and its a real disappointment. It was relatively cheap but no ability to monitor anything.

Which was an amazingly embarrassing strategy untill 2012 when it just became amazing.
