Fuck's sake. Arrogant little cunt.

He definitely needs some investigation.

Yeah. 🙁

I'd. 🙄

Fucking hell. I'm arguing with #UKLabour supporters, who Id broadly agree with, here. This is why we're fucked up. 1930s Germany territory, whilst the left kvetch and the far-right piss on us.

Okay, we'll disagree on this, but I expect more from #UKLabour. Never liked the #RedTory or #ToryLite slur, but Starmer's government is not wowing me.

Hmm, my fingers smell of smoked haddock. It's not unpleasant.

Absolutely. Times change. I've always only voted #UKLabour or #LibDems, who've generally aligned with my left-of-centre politics. Probably far-left on social policies, perhaps more pragmatic (slightly left) on the economy.

We're in a very dangerous place.

Apologies to anyone that I've offended with my comments about #UKLabour, but all of us with a similar persuasion have to stand firm against the (far) right.

Outstrips in that you'd want #UKLabour with a huge majority to rise above that. I expect that from the Tories, not Labour. Deeply disappointing.

I think we're on basically the same page here, so don't want to argue. 😁

I think that the #LibDems and #Greens are generally trans-friendly, but it's an issue that divides even rational people. I have some otherwise 'sound as a pound' friends who have a problem. I mean, why? 🤷

This is the problem. The 'left' are fighting amongst ourselves, like 1920/30s Weimar Germany. Grim.

Ah, doesn't necessarily mean that you won't like it again.

Yeah, sadly.

A friend, who's a lifelong Labour supporter, was dissing me about the #LibDems coalition with the #Tories. I agree, not their finest hour, but what the current #UKLabour government is doing outstrips that. Austerity 2.0, authoritarianism, sucking up to Trump, tacit acceptance of Israeli genocide...

Tonight, I will be mostly cooking smoked haddock kedgeree. Hmm, colonial.

I lent my vote to them at the last GE. Never again. A huge majority and they're behaving like idiots. Have re-joined the #LibDems. My new Labour MP has blocked me on Bluesky. Democracy, eh?

Ooh. Another twat to block.

I think that it was @georgemonbiot.bsky.social who said that the future is a race between the narcissistic and the empathetic. Empathy is key.

D'oh. Christians'.

For some reason or another I was just thinking of Biblical angels. Not most Christian's idea of angels (wings, perfectly-formed WASP humans, etc.), but the true Biblical angels that are Lovecraftian agglomererations of eyes and nightmare Escher-esque non-Euclidian wheels.

Fuck's sake. #UKLabour are vying to outdo the #Tories and #ReformUK as authoritarian cunts.

Yet another right-wing fuckwit completely missing the point. Bet he never read the original novels (and obviously mis-interpreted the film adaptations). Save us from these idiots.

Who knows? Blocked back.

Oh, you've now got me intrigued.

Another rando has just blocked me. Was it because I suggested that Golden Age sf wasn't as good as you remember it, or was it because my love of fountain pens?

Must stop rubbing my eyeball. Someone once posted a video of what it looks like when you do. Squishy. Hey, it's all mainly jelly, right?

Always Clarke for me, but things have moved on. As someone once said, the Golden Era of sf was when you were thirteen.
