There are certain words and phrases that reliably tell you that you're in a bad-faith conversation, and you can stop engaging. They include: "cultural marxism", "critical race theory", "woke", and "Katharine Birbalsingh".

My pet conspiracy theory is that there is only one cybertruck and every weird story you hear about their owners is just that one guy.

I miss DEI

A reminder that, once again, this creates a serious problem with the Good Friday Agreement but what do you expect from the same people that thought Brexit wouldn't be an issue either.

Sticker i saw at the bar the other night:

the AfD, the Triggernometry Podcast, Nigel Farage - what is it about the contemporary far-right and selling people gold bullion?

"alright granda, back to bed"

Wonder what party that was in 1945? πŸ€”πŸ§

I would say remotely competent historians understand that major events in history are historically shaped by men born into wealth and power and lots of them were idiots. (Caligula: psychopathic dumbass!)

Trump cabinet picks are basically the bad guys line up from Blazing Saddles.

"I cunningly tricked the enemy by immediately caving to all of their negotiation demands. I then used their confusion to get a 3rd helping at the lunch buffet and steal 2 of their pens. Another personal victory."

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Stephen Mangans episode of this is a really lovely listen and a very gentle and respectful conversation about Irish diaspora in England and the privilege of looking after someone with a terminal illness. I really recommend www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Listen up liberal *crashes plane*

Regardless of Wellend, Noelrock jokes, The Jam were true originals of their time and inspired so many. Rick Buckler also drummed in a very modern different way to his peers. Vale and RIP. Gone too soon. That's Entertainment.

If you haven't caught this week's Off The Fence we have an URGENT REQUEST. If you or anyone you know has access to obscure Channel 4 documentary 'Studs of Suburbia' produced by IFC Media. If you can slide some episodes out way we are offering one bottle of Bollinger for your help. Really. So do it.

This episode of Origin Story on the myth of "cultural marxism", a conspiracy theory with antisemitic roots, is essential listening. It's a phrase, alongside "critical race theory", that always indicates bad faith. @iandunt.bsky.social @dorianlynskey.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/1ywU...

Fair play to Zelensky for not kicking the shite out of that Vance tool.

Nothing says avoiding an existential crisis like bringing back a leader whose entire government resigned en masse rather than serve another day under him
