Why does Britain have a highly evolved, off the record system of “briefing”, which MPs and officials use to undermine, harass, defame and bully colleagues? Because reporter, media outlet and anonymous insider get things they want. Is this good for anyone else, or for democracy? Fuck you, who cares!

Fifteen years solid of roaring Islamist sex criminal migrant liberal-treason terror and screaming in fear about the Wokes trying to blackify Oxbridge later: There’s something a bit iffy about that Nigel chap, now that he’s no longer useful and is making us all look like exactly what we are.

Kinda vibe now with all the old Hebrew prophets who turned their backs for five minutes only to find their people worshipping another false idol.

If I was selling compulsory ID cards I simply wouldn't make my pitch: "we are going to make you all carry compulsory ID that will cost you £100+ so we can give the police and immigration enforcement Trump-style powers. This is progressive." www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I hate the modern cloud world, why are all the stocksheets I need for work split over 3 different services (in no consistent pattern) that all require passwords and then code email/2FA to log on, take ages to load each pop-up filled page, don't give you a good way to navigate file structures etc etc

I wish journalists would be more direct - if someone says they want to leave the ECHR, they should be asked exactly which human rights they want to remove. Same with removing EDI - who exactly do you want to remove protections from? Make them accountable for their bigotry.

LLMs require radical changes to human behaviour because they are based on how the people at the top want everyone else to act. And that's very different from the way that people act in practice.

There was a time when protest was normal, respectable and legal while bribery was illegal and viewed as insidious and corrupting. Feels like the scales have been sharply tipped the other way, doesn’t it?

Someone should make a cool Call of Duty sort of first person shooter where you spend 30 minutes in real time strapping into 85 pounds of tactical gear and loading into an M1 Abrams tank that screeches down a busy city street while you receive your mission briefing: "handcuff any 18 year old busboy".

Russiagate was broadly accurate (if specifically targeted at only a subset of the corruption of T43) but I suspect its not helping their cause that the average advocate goes off when told something like "the RF isn't communist"

Sonia can’t say “I strongly approve of these crackdowns on universities and students”, because that would make her look like a weird far right crank. But she does, so she says this instead.

You're supposed to be resting your wound, not crawling under the neighbour's floorboards like a rat. Why won't you obey me, filthy child?

People talk about the reputational damage of Trump - showing that the US' diplomacy cannot be trusted on a multi-year timescale - but here is the party of the Iran nuclear deal also oscillating to 'only war actually', so its really damned if you do with either side for the rest of us
