I hate going into Co-Op with a Co-Op Bag For Life.
It's like going to a gig wearing the t-shirt of the band you're seeing.

Just when you think you've expunged that latest earworm, you find a new They Might Be Giants song to be obsessed with and now your brain's all like COMBUSTIBLE HEAD COMBUSTIBLE HEAD

I don't think we're in agreement about what Populism means. BoJo's "Us against the world, lads, 1066 and all that" bluster is almost anti-populist.

Anyone tempted to believe the Labour line that they have a shot in Gorton and Denton might like to notice that Goodwin's rhetoric has shifted entirely from "Starmer out" to "Greens are dangerous".
It's clearly Greens vs Reform tomorrow.

I've loved The Bloody Inn #boardgame for years but the theme is so macabre it's hard to get to the table.
The secret, it turns out, is to have a child and wait until she's old and Goth enough to get it.

this is an excellent piece of podcasting. it takes A Turn 2/3 through, after which I was laughing as hard as I’ve ever laughed at something that is objectively not funny. an absurd and sublime piece of history.

I really like this, but when he says "The People who've taken what's ours" and seems to gesture next door, I do get the impression he's talking about Ken Barlow.

Saw this on my YouTube feed and got a fleeting moment thought Nick Ferrari was really upset about the new Magic: The Gathering set

I think, in fairness, SOME of them are actively lying, while some are too thick to realise that's what they're doing.

My five-year-old nephew has received a certificate at school that reads "I have a Growth Mindset" so if anyone needs me I'll be in the woods screaming into the abyss.

Painting the living room ceiling, listening to an audiobook about Indo-European language. Now this is living.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

Thrilled that @greenpartyhan.bsky.social is the By-election candidate, what a contrast to the charmless racist weasel Reform are putting up.

Hoping this student debt debate is the moment that normies of my generation look around and think
"Wait, is EVERYTHING bullshit?!"

Whoever the Green by-election candidate is, we should organise a roundtable with them and anyone who has bodied Matt Goodwin in a tv debate- although we would need to find a very big table.

I don't think we want a Burnham over here. Happy to see a Clive or Nadia jump the fence, but we don't want people with Blairite stank, even if Burnham has changed his tune (several times).

Blocking Burnham makes a Reform by-election win more likely.
Worth noting that that's not a mistake- a Reform win gives the Starmer Politburo cover to continue their push to the right, and deploy the "It's us or Reform" argument at the next GE.

Greens have to fight them hard.

Hannah Spencer running in the by-election with @zackpolanski.bsky.social on Hype Man duty could be a real winner.
