Everyone’s gonna memory hole this like they do her racism and antisemitism but this is your regular reminder that Joyce Carol Oates fucking sucks and just because she sometimes makes a funny tweet doesn’t erase how much she fucking sucks.

We should just rejoin already. There is literally no benefit to us staying out, only the far-right have gained from it. All staying out has gotten us is five years of misery and a decaying society, and it will get worse the longer we delay.

i do like how all the AI attempts to "disrupt" creative industries are failing because the people behind them have seemingly never been touched by a piece of art in their lives and therefore dont seem to really understand what appeals to people with souls

Does Zack not realise that he's basically arguing in favour of voting Labour? If the argument is "you get the Labour MP you might have got anyway but not with the govt", why would a left-leaning voter not vote Labour if they're going to get the same thing anyway? Just utterly inept campaigning here.

It's true that the rent controls that were in place for most of the 20th century were crude. But they protected tenants from exploitation. And their removal led to the most dramatic deterioration in rental affordability on record.

I'm sorry but half a million trees is just a pathetically small amount from Labour given the urgency of natural regeneration. I get that we're not going to plant as many as China has given how relatively small as a UK is, but surely we can do far better than half a million trees.

Keeping this fully in mind as Alex Burghart is currently attacking Burnham for admitting that Brexit didn't work, and he's also trying to gaslight the public into ignoring the Tories' own calamitous decisions. Burghart is reading his attack lines from Murdoch's script. Labour should ignore them.

Well, I for one am an economist who supports rent controls! Here’s why 🧵: Markets only work well if: -buyers & sellers have roughly equal power -producers respond to price signals & expand supply in response to scarcity -buyers can walk away if prices get too high

Andy Burnham, right now: "Deindustrialisation, deregulation, privatisation, austerity, Brexit. And what has it given us? A country [governed] for vested interests not in the public interest, with power held in too few hands and too many places left to drift."

this film is dedicated to the brave mujahideen fighters of afghanistan

Maybe Bridget Phillipson and the rest of the cabinet should read the room. Labour is nothing without the trade unions, and all the unions affiliated with them are saying no to the transphobic garbage Phillipson is spewing and supporting.

Here's a noteworthy flaw to this thesis: those same regimes also treat social media like any other media: i.e. controlled by the regime with opposition media banned, and authoritarian politicians in democracies explicitly want to attack your right to freely use social media without posting your ID.

I read this entire thread and think someone made an anime version of Harry Potter that had more or less the exact social politics of Angel Cop. In the 2010s no less. The bit with the equal rights group that gets frowned on sounds like they just ripped it off HP and made it even more right-wing.
