This is funny but, here's the thing, Iran is much larger than Iraq, its population is enormous, their military actually knows what it's doing *and* it's ideologically committed to the leadership. An actual invasion, if it were to somehow happen, would be an unparalleled disaster for the US.

Quite apart from the fact that 2 hours minus 2 minutes is not 58 minutes: These people are fucking idiots. The point of reading, or any other form of intellectual enquiry, is that you don't always know what is interesting until you start looking. Acquiring knowledge is not an engineering problem.

I'm going to uncritically support the No Kings march (from the comfort of my home 3000 miles away from the US) today. It will be a sea of cringe centrist signs and chants, but at least they're finally getting up and actually *doing* something. Tomorrow is the time for arguing about protest tactics.

Ah, I see the sort of well meaning but absolutely atrocious American liberal meme posters are hurling their embarrassingly earnest and shallow images online before today's planned big demonstrations. I wish them well but also I'm blocking them on sight, no man should have to cringe this much.

I sold some chewing gum to Paul Mason when I briefly worked at WH Smith. He seemed nice.

What's happened in Los Angeles looks horrendous and it may well get worse but honestly the community response is *not* what the administration wants. The far right want an obedient, supine, cowed population, the only good response to fascism is resistance.

Five years ago today Ella and I went to the centre for a Black Lives Matter demonstration and witnessed history as a bunch of people tore down a monument celebrating the slave trader Edward Colston. The statue was dragged though the streets and dumped in the same waters where his ships made harbour.

This is bollocks, and absolute cowardice in the face of transphobic Guardian bosses. What a repulsive newspaper the Guardian has become, tutting and sneering at my friends and family as their rights are stripped away, and providing cover and legitimacy for the bigots who hate them.

I knew they'd fall out and I knew it would be fast, but I somehow didn't expect it to be this fast and this funny. Two horrible old capitalists yelling into their respective social media websites, one pale as a sheet next to his orange face paint, the other racking up another colossal line of K.

This is sort of the perfect American fascist rant, in a way. Attacking foreigners, the judiciary, the left, appealing to people's fear of the other and crime in general, all while paying vague lip service to the military.

All these political media people worrying about wealth taxes making all the rich people leave the UK and, like, have you ever met a rich person? They're extremely boring and annoying to talk to, crappy vibes, we'd lose nothing.

Tim Onion's true genius is (and I mean this with nothing but respect for him and open contempt for every other media owner) he remembered that people will pay for a thing if it's good. Nice to read, accessible, well crafted. Every other media company has forgotten that and gives us horrible rubbish.

Comms do need to improve, but the best way to do that would be to do stuff people like instead of being a massive immigrant hating ableist transphobic racist, then talk about it.

Only vaguely following this ridiculous non-story but, if you're confused but, I think I can explain it: Americans Jealous that Area Man has Girlfriend.
