I’ve said this before, but it’s sort of insane that no British political party is willing to champion Games Workshop, one of the country’s most successful, British born and run companies, and would much rather simp for Palantir or OpenAI

Like, one of the live political issues of the last few weeks has been “can black people ever be British?”, and we’re supposed to be terrified of Zack Polanski? It’s just not serious, it is orange wig, red nose clownshoes horseshit.

I gather that his blindness gave him a bit of a free pass to say what he liked. Also powerful friends. By rights he could have ended up hanged drawn and quartered for his involvement in the politics around the execution of Charles I, so basically yes, an all-time great poaster.

I love seeing public information films in their proper context: during advert breaks on ITV, or closedowns on the BBC. Here's a lovely little farm safety PIF ending BBC1's programming in 1985. The continuity announcer's "That was a public information film" is the cherry on top.

The people who can actually impose a cost on important people who behave like this, is you. Don’t vote for them, don’t buy their magazines and papers, make it clear you are doing it because of their horrific behaviour. That really is the only thing you have to bargain with. Use it.

Just massive, *massive*, amounts of political life in the UK is explained by the extremely bizarre fact that our intelligentsia, political class, and even much of our business elite, feel aching insecure about faiilng to meet some imagined ideal of Authenticity they attribute to the volk.

I know you're not allowed to say this during the current debate, but the reason the left dominates academics, art, comedy, and music is that the right has stupid, discredited ideas, they're not funny, and dull resentment does not make for good art. No grand conspiracy required.

Have to reshare this every time I see it. Raymond Chandler mocking science fiction in 1953 and sounding cool as hell. He should have written some space stories.

Did you ever read what they call Science Fiction? It’s a scream. It is written like this:

“I checked out with K19 on Aldabaran III, and stepped out through the crummalite hatch on my 22 Model Sirus Hardtop. I cocked the timejector in secondary and waded through the bright blue manda grass. My breath froze into pink pretzels. I flicked on the heat bars and the Brylls ran swiftly on five legs using their other two to send out crylon vibrations. The pressure was almost unbearable, but I caught the range on my wrist computer through the transparent cysicites. I pressed the trigger. The thin violet glow was icecold against the rust-colored mountains. The Brylls shrank to half an inch long and I worked fast stepping on them with the poltex. But it wasn’t enough. The sudden brightness swung me around and the Fourth Moon had already risen. I had exactly four seconds to hot up the disintegrator and Google⁵ had told me it wasn’t enough. He was right.”

They pay brisk money for this crap?
