I see my nemesis has done his monthly article to vaguely contractually justify his job title and even when talking to a councillor in Inverness still failed to call the Scottish Greens by their name. Wasteman.

None of these Republicans and most of these Democrats are not all of a sudden “seeing the light on ICE.” They simply understand the worm turning on public opinion and saving face. They will ALL go back to voting for minority brutalization as soon as they can. You can’t keep falling for this.

I forgot I was doing this but a new one jumped out.

Sudden urge to read some Harvey Pekar.

Just out of curiosity I had a look at the bad place and yes, even in the past hour, the cranks are still pushing the "viruses are just exosomes" bullshit from 2020.

Measles comeback is it? Probably a good time to remind people who don't know that antivax is a massive fraud from beginning to end. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BIc...

So anyway, Andrew Wakefield should be in prison for the rest of his life.

Yeah, Ed Davey, some of us remember what you did.

You would think that in the past 20 years or so, there might have been one ad campaign that said "sending and getting letters is nice, isn't it, much better than email, give it a go", a bit like Bob Hoskins did for BT. But no, they rolled over and let it all wither and die.

My hot take is everyone who is saying filling Reform with Tories is self-defeating to Reform is wrong. Coz it requires joined up thinking to realise it's Tories rebranded, and the whole of Farage's career is betting, correctly, on voters not thinking much beyond an instinctive "fuck 'em"

Royal Mail is just utterly fucked, isn't it?

Anyway between Burnham and Braverman it's been a phenomenal 48 hours for "British Politics is English Politics", genuinely watching this stuff unfold with a level of detachment that isn't as removed as US politics but still feels fundamentally like it's happening in another country (which it is)

Television began on this day in 1926. Shortly after that, Doctor Who fans started a campaign to get rid of the current producer.

Someone probably realised it got good SEO among people actually searching for Traitors stuff. A bit like the way the Scotsman uses Outlander for anything vaguely history related.

They're always so proud of their favourite book being The Art of War, but it seems having just read it is more important that having understood any of it it.

They couldn't find lorne sausage or morning rolls in London, so seem to have gone for a salmon roll, because that's a thing the Scotch do, isn't it?

I watched it the other week, a real cracker that has you rooting for utter wrong'uns.

Which became so well known they even had special guests for the last one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwqE...

Aggravated trespass is it? We were told that would only target raves. Gosh, what a surprise that a terrible law would be extended to any old shit the cops want to use it for.

Lovely. Although that means, to scale, God is about the size of a Twiglet. Not that there is anything *wrong* with that.

You know that we now have a quite narrow definition of "it" these days? Please, don't toy with us Mags.

I almost went to Ikea on Friday then remembered I had vowed never to go back after my last visit when I realised there were no till staff at all any more. All customers were workers. Fuck them. Thanks for reminding me to check Freecycle tomorrow.

Employ more staff. Stop making me operate your tills for you. And everyone will be less on a knife edge of rage.

This is appalling. You mean Vance went to Minneapolis and nobody managed to lock HIM in a restaurant?

They only listen to Wagner while wearing earmuffs.

"Anyone saying 'polarized' to describe politics is a piece of shit" part whatever of however many.

Ah, I see. bsky.app/profile/rabb...

Conservation officers? Whut?

I love the way that this has gone from "wouldn't it be funny if we could legitimately say this" to "this is absolutely the case" in about a month.
