I’ve been following Polanski since he was building his profile up online and he’s never struck me as anything but a grasper and a gobshite

I used to be a member, they’ve alienated me. Sounds like their fault, I’m not changing my principles.

There is not a single day that there isn't a Labour story that confirms I'll never, ever cast a vote for them again. Every single day, they pass the hygiene barrier on a new topic. Truly despise them.

Yeah but at least they've also managed some middling, piecemeal, easily unpicked reforms to employment rights and renter protections. Absolutely worth it to betray one of the UK's only functioning sectors to the tech fascists.

Ever UK political party, in power and in waiting, are basically pinning their electoral future on it delivering economic growth. Pure magic beans fantasy, running a global economy. Cut the budget and pray to the chatbot.

Flagstaff, AZ, around 2004. Sean Penn walks in to restaurant & sits down to eat. When his bodyguard goes for a piss, this lady walks over, pulls up a chair, and starts chatting. Bodyguard came back, and just dragged her chair back over to her table while she was still on it and put her back.

Ah mate, I remember reading some article like two years ago where the heads of Toyota/Honda/Mits all signed some joint declaration saying 'Combustion is not the enemy' and you knew then they were gonna blow it on EVs chasing some hydrogen boondoggle.

TBF it's at least partially self-inflicted, Europe and UK dragged our feet on electric and now China is eating our lunch al fresco. I'm seeing way more BYD, Jaecoo, et al on the streets these days.

A day sat watching family court would be ample evidence that:
A) monogamous relationships are quite prone to messy failures
B) frequently not as monogamous as assumed

Unfortunately, turn-based. Not for me, really. Closest I could get into for turn-based was KOTOR.

Mass Effect 3 gameplay, Obsidian story, dropped into the 40k universe. Play as a newly-qualified Inquisitor. Range of equipment/companion/storyline options are dictated by how puritan or radical your choices in the game are. Steal shamelessly from the Eisenhorn series.

With careful driving, partner and I regularly drive from the North down to London and back for an amount of fuel that comes to less than half of one ticket on the train. It's mind-bending that we can get this so wrong.

Because they like Donald Trump and they want him to rule America like a king

What does that mean? They'll be trained to use proprietary copilot tools in office jobs? They'll be trained to build/maintain AI infra? They'll be trained to write prompts for LLMs? What does 'trained worker in AI' actually mean?

The 'other side' is every single newspaper, major online news outlet, and television channel. The 'other side' is the President and the heads of major gov departments. Must every space give way to ucontested propaganda from the ruling classes?

The way Labour has sprinted to accept all the worst outcomes of this ruling is such a moral failure. 'Accept a reduction in rights' okay accept a corresponding reduction in seats in 2029, get to fuck.

Not really worth a conversation if you're committed to not registering my core points. Bye babe.

The universities aren't the hostile entity, the government is actively trying to drive down numbers of foreign students in them.

White men for Trump are like 25% of voter turnout in 2024, they needed a lot of support from women and minorities to get over the line.

Don't tell me, tell Labour - they're the ones that want to drive the foreign students out and collapse higher ed in the UK.

The majority of Trump’s vote is women and people of colour. Whites may have gone big on Trump but they couldn’t do it without the people theyre victimising’s help.

Well the UK is about to tell them all to fuck off as well, so perhaps the EU is a more fitting destination.

They're unreal, there's like three things they've done in a year I'll say I agree with but stuff like this is in their absurd/amoral/self-defeating sweet spot. And they seem to love that sweet spot.

one of the most polarising dishes in my household has been just frying a punnet of cherry tomatoes w/garlic until they turn into a sauce as a '20-minute' pasta dinner
personally, love it. partner, v much on the fence.

The headline, as ever, is that near 50% of the vote goes to ostensibly centre-left parties, but Labour are chasing Reform voters instead of building their progressive base.

It'd be worth it for someone to take the 10% just to win the public argument that we have to pay taxes to have functioning services. Even if they went down in flames, the national conversation has to change away from Cakes (no eating).

It's incredible that pretty much no one across the political spectrum right now is being honest enough to say, 'we have to cough it up for the world we want to live in.'
Like, a credibility-shattering absence of serious discussion on it.
