Kamala using a funeral as a platform for pitching an inevitable disaster of a reelection campaign and saying I told you so because she would have been a slightly less overt authoritarian. Classy
"Pokemon Go to the Polls"
Definitely racist, as is Raiders with its white stuntmen in yellowface, but seeing it as a product of its time makes it easier to accept those flaws. Most things of the 20th century are wince inducing today
Okay, kiddo. Sure. They didn't supply weapons to genocidal regimes, aren't currently supporting multiple foreign conflicts, didn't scare monger over the Greens in Gorton, aren't mimicking Reform's rhetoric, etc etc. You people are delusional. Or just believe whatever you're told.
Seeing a lot of my fellow writers asking for work atm. It's bad out here gang. Too few jobs and too many people in competition for them. I sincerely hope employers realise what garbage AI is soon and start hiring us all again.
The Economist, as ever, remains "a journal that speaks for British Millionaires".
A classic
I'm sure they're all great, they don't-however-discount the fascist rhetoric, maintaining foreign wars, privitisation, and austerity measures, and the two child benefit cap, cutting winter fuel allowance, supporting genocides etc. I get that y'all need to improve messaging after Gorton but come on.
Sorry to hear that. I love it. It's certainly better than the outright garbage of the last two.
Maybe if you didn't pay attention to the few policies you agree with you would have a clearer view?
Continuing privatisation and austerity measures, cutting winter fuel allowance, increasing means testing, mimicking far right rhetoric in their messaging, etc. Labour's "good" is far outweighed by their bad I'm afraid.
Definitely some good stuff in there (though "workers rights" & "renters rights" existed before Keir Starmer) as well as abolishing NHS England. They do not, however, disount maintaining draconian anti-protest and strike laws, supporting wars and genocides, maintaining two child benefit cap,
Y'all are wrong about Infinite. It's awesome.
Always funny to see a proud Nazis quoting a proud socialist
For the love of God Hollywood MAKE. SOMETHING. NEW.
The Indiana Jones emulators came thick and fast in that era with none of them able to understand what made the original so popular
Maybe if they did less wholly dreadful things the rest of the time people might be disposed to support them when they do something good like this.
It's World Book Day today. I'd love it if you'd invest of one of mine to read.

The Terminator films were half right, except AI didn't need to become "self-aware" to destroy the world
Sounds like Labour need to spend a year on another "listening period" to me...
This is who runs our country. Jfc 🤦🏼♂️ No wonder everything's fucked...
How I arrived on Bluesky
What "growth in living standards"? UK saw it's first decline in life expectancy in a century and that was BEFORE covid. Life in the UK is a miserable, rainy, fascist slog. It's been fine for the wealthy I'm sure but the top 5% don't share so I'm not sure I believe you, The Guardian.
None of these numbers are outright election winners but things are going to firm up after May and over the next three years, so unless Labour and the Tories pull something miraculous out of the bag this is it for them.
Truly astonishing to see these kinds of polls.
Just a little heads-up for Keir: Blair resigned in disgrace due to the unpopularity of his capitulation over the Iraq war. And Blair was still WAY more popular than you are, buddy.
I wonder if Streeting will carry on the same folly when he is put in place after you're booted out?
I will keeps saying this: Reform have reached their cap and while 30% might have been enough for the already established Labour base to win a loveless landslide I'm not so sure about Reform's chances in a GE.
I mean 21% is hardly storming general election victory numbers but 16%, even given YouGov's weightings, is pretty spectacularly poor.
After the pandemic Starmer went on this assinine publicity tour telling everyone Labour had been through a "listening period". Astonishing then that they didn't hear a flippin' word
They run the country from there, why not a war?
*siiiiigh* Here, have a picture of some flowers I took over a decade ago when it didn't feel like the world was ending.
