good morning, at the moment I'm typing this, Japan is in the third inning of their first game of the World Baseball Classic, and Shohei Ohtani is 3-for-3 with a grand slam

This reminds me of that Frankie Boyle joke about how Americans not only come to your country and kill your people, they also come back twenty years later to make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers sad.

IMHO, it is important that Woke 2 be deemed "excessive" by historians, "sweeping too broadly" with "punishments too severe." It cannot be merely a course correction, it must be an overcorrection. Nothing less will serve as an adequate deterrent against the fascists and their collaborators.

Sure Mayor Mamdani is charming the populace with his good policies and charisma, but he’s been suspiciously silent on whether he’s going to implement crucial safety measures to prevent someone from getting sewn into the pants of the big Charlie Brown in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

Been working on a piece for a while (and he just...tweeted it out) about this as the far-right version of the Cultural Revolution. They have no constructive goal, just a drive to make every "intellectual" suffer. If they could send everyone with a BA to Qinghai (Montana) to dig ditches, they would.

I've told this story on ContrabandCamp but it's worth sharing for BHM because it's one of the greatest stories ever.

A thread.

πŸ€” It’s definitely not suspicious at all to have people point out your common Twitter sign off is in the Epstein files and ten completely delete your yacht’s logs right?

By-election latest:

A Green Party source tells me the response in Gorton today has been so positive that they're reallocating resources to Denton.

They claim ex-Labour voters say they can't vote for the party with Starmer as leader, so tactical voting doesn't come into it.

As long as ICE exists this is gonna happen. The good people of MSP have fought hard enough. Time for the elected Dems to help them out instead of some mythical non voter in Iowa

ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Europeans should stop scolding (admittedly annoying) Americans and just focus on ways to pressure their leaders to deprive our country of Treats. Nothing happening until the Ozempic and video games stop flowing

I really appreciated the bit about countries trying to work bilaterally with the US doing β€œthe performance of sovereignty while accepting subordination.” Felt like a pointed jab at Starmer.

Tbf it speaks to a larger issue that I’ve spoken about before having lived in the UK for over a decade, which is using the over-the-top politics of the US to obscure how bad things are in the UK.

Obviously the current moment is an escalation, but still - we (the UK) are part of this too!
