The best thing about Silas Marner is that the plot could easily be one of those ai videos with the anthropomorphic cats

That scene of the Welsh BBC correspondent being the only person interviewing Caerphilly's new Plaid AM while the rest of the media interviewed Reform's loser in the background was far too on the nose.

This image evokes such crystal clear memory and emotion. Mad how football embeds itself like that.

Zack Polanski saying what every politician should be saying,

"It's problematic to weaponise the synagogue attack to silence protest in this country against the genocide in Gaza"

"These are separate things and we should condemn them both"

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "I think its really problematic if someone is trying to weaponise the attack that happened yesterday to try and silence protest in this country against the genocide. They're separate issues.. we need to be clear what this govt is doing"

Summer 2025 in the UK, a time of unity and euphoria.

Gross you can't be locked on here so that random people can retweet/ respond to your shite milquetoast takes

(it isn't)

Fascism surged in the 20th century out of the trauma of the first world war and complete economic collapse.

Fascism's surge in the 21st century is rooted in the trauma of having to grow up.

The success of the far right is not only measured in votes and seats but in its impact on rhetoric, policy and ideology. The fact that a (nominally) social democratic head of government with a huge majority choses to say and do this is maybe the biggest success of the far right in Europe yet.

Farage seems to be going very nutty with it at the moment - seems a bit early, I know he has an energised base but a lot of those poll figures are based on people who just don't like the previous governments

(I didn't use so many words and surely they get it as well)

As I keep saying: Harvey Weinstein being dragged to jail unprotected by his huge wealth really was one of the critical incidents that shaped major political and cultural phenomena that followed, but not at all in the way you might have assumed at the time.

Again, I note the huge overlap between 1) cancel culture terror about supposed totalitarian speech rules of the left, and 2) very rich, powerful men being enraged to discover that social media could be used to accuse them of the sex offences that they have in fact committed

Learnt the lesson today to stop calling hebden bridge annoying because some people you meet actually live there

You can’t fix autism because autistic people are not broken.

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR.

This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

I'm not saying that FM mobile is a less realistic simulation than FM proper, but my Norway side just beat Germany 5-0 in the 2032 euros final

(Absolutely no save scumming, I was quite annoyed when we went 3-0 up)

Neighbours' horror at racist shooting of young girl in Bristol street "It’s awful, such a violent attack on their family and our community"

Spent the afternoon in north Bristol where police are doing door to door inquiries after a 9 yr old girl was shot in a racially aggravated attack.
There was shock & disgust but also the community rallying round the family of the poor girl.

Fuck it I take it all back just join the greens

My a level maths teacher was in robben island in the early 90s. He also spent most of our lessons lecturing us about how homosexual Satanists were conspiring to destroy the world.

The other thing that everyone from like Clive Lewis, to dipshit podcasters and Just Normal Bloke Down Pub Socialists can’t handle is that these people look like your friends and uncles - they look like your mates from home because they ARE your mates from home!

all of this is downstream from the 80s concession that racism was a psychological aberration (therefore a minority position) that could be cured with race awareness training and the like. An individual pathology rather than a mass movement

I joke often about having moved into the 6 music belt but every time I hear a text in shout out thing there is always at least one person in the calder valley.

picture of gazans gathering for food aid. text superimposed written: 680,000 Dead. Based on all the data collected, the death toll in gaza is at least 680,000 and 380,000 are infants under five years of age. on september 3, 2025, Dr. Gideon Polya and Professor richard Hill calculated the total death toll for gaza since october 7.

i cannot comprehend what this means

going from "transgender ideology" to "look at the poor misguided white kid" without even taking a breath, unconscionable

Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?

TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

Jailed Akins named in Mansfield squad list Jailed footballer Lucas Akins has been included in Mansfield Town's squad list this season and will be free to restart his career when released. The 36-year-old began a 14-month prison sentence in April after pleading guilty to causing the death of a cyclist by careless or inconsiderate driving in March 2022. He is understood to be available for release after serving half that sentence, with the remaining seven months to be served on license. It means Akins could play for the League One side before Christmas.

This is crazy, less time out than if he'd done his ACL

Boris Johnson says these are just common sense and reasonable statements

Utah definitely has a multiplier effect for that - rural ex Mormons definitely would be well equipped in both insanity and guns.

I'm just seeking patterns for my own satisfaction I suppose
