I was just stepping out of my car to stretch my legs when all these rakes kept appearing under my feet

I’m old enough to remember when Dunt’s entire profession would consider saying this to be a hate crime. Was Israel a “rogue state” when embassy staff were caught on film giving a lobbying firm a seven figure sum and a list of MP’s to “take down” whilst the IDF was murdering his peers with impunity?

If you invented a one-shot one-build Time Machine, would you use it to visit your own favourite artist in their infancy and give them a Slaanesh mirror deliberately designed to rob their of their aspiration and make them addicted to and dependent upon it to feed them vapid screen images?

Re the ‘annoyedgynoid’ post. Absent all other arguments, every generation that grows up with easy access to plagiarism machines likely becomes a generation that nurtures less talent, and if those plagiarism machines prove economically unsustainable, the certain outcome is talent becoming more scarce

I tend to glance at logins before user names and I thought it was ‘Annoy Edgy Noid’ lol

“Well none of the stupid and offensive things I’VE caused distress and upset by civilly saying with good grammar were cruel” - Bristol Grammar, Wolverhampton Grammar, Cambridge, Boris4Mayor

The thing is, he has no clue who you are, but somehow he was speaking directly to you.

I’ve been listening to Guardian and NS journos discuss how the sweet spot in British politics is “services, rights, civil protections and benefits, for white people only” for about a decade, so it’s not like nobody understands what it is that is happening here.

With no scientific basis for this whatsoever, purely on vibes: I would guess the Venn diagram for “approves of government, December 2025” and “overjoyed by the creation of Change UK, 2019” is a red dot.

EXCL: Wes Streeting accused of taking "chaotic and incoherent approach" to reforming NHS which makes it unlikely government will hit targets, according to damning

Again, it would be hugely useful if the lobby hacks could get visibly tattooed with the sigils of their patrons like the familiars in Blade, so we can easily tell who owns which ones,

Man Wouldn't Have Worn Costume To Work If He'd Known He Was Getting Laid Off

Neoliberal rules:

1. There is no magic money tree, unless it's for war, internal repression or corporate kickbacks.

2. The rules do not exist to uphold public standards, merely to be enforced arbitrarily against enemies/ex-allies.

3. The public are swine who should be grateful for rotten meat.

Shame on them all.

As a good engineer who knows what they’re doing:

Any workplace that expects you to work a “996” schedule has no idea what they’re doing, and any engineer that brags they work a “996” schedule is telling you they’re an incompetent that can’t get their work done in a reasonable amount of time.

Why would China do this

The 2007 crisis was tragedy: the financial aristocracy participated in a don't-ask-don't-tell bonanza of cynically disguised junk debt, which all fell apart.

The 202x crisis will be farce: literally everyone can see the AI bubble for what it is, and yet they'll charge headlong off the cliff anyway.

Benjamin Netanyahu. He pays Hamas to do everything they do because it disrupts the unitary Palestinian state, it maintains a supply of pretexts for genocidal land-grabs by the terror group ‘IDF’, and maintains a critical mass of votes for Likud and worse.

As well you know.

Look at me, Gromit, lad! I’m Wensleydale Wallace! Heh-hey!

Is this regarding the second line? Over the past few decades, it has become necessary to pre-empt the ‘what about disabled people’ objection that is commonly raised when defining the working class.

I’m going to do a cold reading:

Right now, you are holding a device that was manufactured in China or Vietnam, and wearing clothes that were manufactured either there or in the global south.

With the growing complexity of society and technology, some kinds of labour have *more* demand than when there was less automation. We don’t see it because a lot of it has been outsourced by colonialism or monopolised by communism.

We have for a long time had the terms blue-collar, white-collar, and pink-collar to subcategorise branches of working livelihood. None of them have gone away; transnational corporations have found means to source some of them in economies that either repress wages or invest in modern skills.

It means you can’t make a living from owning property, so all you have with which to generate revenue is your labour.

(This categorically includes people incapable of working or who can’t find work and depend upon welfare or charity.)
