It would be nice to be able to enjoy this much sunshine in October if it didn't come with the constant creeping existential dread of knowing why.

For those that haven't read it, heartily recommend @lioneltrolling.bsky.social's When The Clock Broke as an excellent and detailed dissection of Nader as a political figure.

This is a good and interesting thread but also, who the fuck cares? Someone brings a drink to an interview. Okay? How the fuck is that disqualifying? Wild.

End Times Fascism is the Not Like Us of political commentary. @naomiaklein.bsky.social and @astra.bsky.social just eviscerating the ghouls running the US these days. ‘Traitors to creation’ will live with me for a long, long time.

I unironically think the country would be better served by the average gangster rapper as president. "If you kill the head of a rival gang's father in a drive-by, will it lead to a gang war?" is a question Suge Knight would have answered correctly.

This is an obvious consequence of what is happening and it’s a dereliction of duty for Labour and other parties to not be shouting that loudly. RNLI vs masked thugs is the easiest win imaginable FFS

if you're the abc news editor who wrote that the nyc mayor attending the 9/11 ceremony is attracting "growing criticism" solely because he's a muslim then you are the criticism you're writing about

ABC:
Mayor Mamdani says he'll attend 9/11 ceremony despite growing criticism
Mayor Mamdani says he will attend New York City's annual remembrance ceremony.

Even leaving any politics at all aside: as general rule, no state can allow a group of masked men to be able to close down critical infrastructure. This is basic stuff.

Every time the Labour government does this, it not only suggests that the broad thrust of these direct far-right actions – led by thugs with convictions for violence – are legitimate, they explicitly suggest they are *more* legitimate than left-wing protests. It is as contemptible as it is stupid.

Frankly, I’m bitterly disappointed in the lack of general mockery at OpenAI saying they’d achieved AGI. Or have you all just tuned out that bullshit?

Big stakes now for both parties. Greens have chances to turn the tide on recent decline and demonstrate Polanski is a winner. Labour have a chance to show the Burnham bounce is real, consolidate the left in a London heartland seat, and deal a potential knockout blow to Green insurgency.

I would 100% support a law that says if any digital platform removes your access to media you paid for then they are required to refund you the entirety of the original purchase price. That would solve this whole thing in a hurry.
