Private Eye exposing again the utter idiocy of our politics. This sums up *exactly* how Farage and Reform get rocket-boosted by a media, drunk on sensationalist nonsense. Unserious and irresponsible but it’ll be up to us to prove them wrong.

If it’s 6 June, it must be 193 years to the day since Jeremy Bentham died, stipulating in his will that his body should be preserved at University College London so he could be wheeled in to attend every council meeting. Well... except most of the stories about his remains aren’t true 🧵

Having reached the point of (basically?) GenX middle-age, what I can warn younger people in my "profession" about with no small amount of caution is that I'm embarrassed about A LOT more things I vehemently *disliked* for dumb reasons than things I liked "not holding up."

There was not one shit book in this collection, every single one a fucking banger. Primary school slapped whenever you opened one of these and you know I'm right.

Because I don’t even glance at the news lest it turn my feeble heart weak, I missed that Tesco has utterly fucked the UK’s inflation figures. Because 20% of the stuff in there has a “clubcard price” which is around what the MSRP normally is, and a non-clubcard price (5-20% more)

Since I saw this post I have been haunted by a question: what is Labour's 2029 manifesto going to *say*?

It’s the 68th anniversary of Life magazine running a feature about a banker getting wasted on magic mushrooms. Terence McKenna read it, aged 10, grew up to take loads of shrooms himself and came up with ‘stoned ape theory’: the idea that human consciousness comes from psilocybin
