It's a long and competitive list but "French Kids are only rioting now that 7% of their population are Muslims" might be Trump's stupidest opinion. The Man was 23 in 1969. He's a man at war with reality and he's losing that war too.

Probably gonna catch some flack for this but a universal free childcare policy *should* apply to millionaires and their children. Is that the limit of ideological alignment between myself and Badenoch? Probably.

re: Man city. If they do ultimately appeal to the courts and a court finds similarly to the commission that their witnesses were deliberately lying that would likely become a matter of perjury/contempt.

Let's, for the sake of argument, say you employ one person per ward (1 per 7,000 people) to do this that's 8,500 people doing the job at say £30,000pa, lets say the backroom costs are 50% of the frontline staff, that's a £300million scheme. That £10 per household more in tax per year.

"AI is a second industrial revolution" is exactly spot on in the sense that the industrial revolution was principally a social revolution that took resources that had been built up through collective investment and ring fenced them as newly private property.

So long as no collective action is taken to redistribute the ever increasingly concentrated wealth of the richest parts of our society we a collectively giving tacit acceptance to the idea that wealth is not sufficiently concentrated in our society. A frankly absurd position given *gestures wildly*

A science fiction meme I previously made.
Meme Template:
Geordie LaForge variant of the Drake stop you right there meme,
Top panel reads: text reads: "To Boldly go where no man has gone before"

Bottom panel of the meme has been replaced with  Sam Neill in Event Horizon: Text Reads "She's been to a place you couldn't possibly imagine. And Now... It's time to go back""

Irish people support the Palestinians because of the shared suffering under colonial oppression, but I think the practical links between the IRA and the PLO in building that bond are often underappreciated when people talk about it now.

The Irony of Trump saying of anyone that "They’re enemies at war with civilization, using murder, rape, torture, and extortion as instruments of terror." I don't think that you could argue that his regime isn't guilty of every one of those crimes.

I know it's kinda obvious but I do think that a large part of the current disconnect between US economic policy and reality is that for Trump "I'm making money" and "The economy is doing well" are the same idea.

Just drove past a garage where Diesel was £2.18/litre, that's $7.40/gallon or €1.88/litre. When the protests come, they better be in front of US military bases, 'cos there is only one person to blame for this shit.

One of the best bits of photojournalism I've seen in ages. Like, absolutely phenomenal picture.
Two men filling vehicles at a Petrol Station in the UK. On the left a white man in workman's shorts fills a van with ladders on the roof. On the right a black man seemingly dressed for a more technical job if filling a car. Both are looking intently at the display between them. On the bin in front of the petrol dispenser is a bin, slightly askew, with a worn down logo of the retailer.

I think that the most jarring thing about the political shift over the last 40 years is that a culture that had defined itself by opposition to the authoritarianism of the Soviet Union in the pursuit of material equality turned out to only be opposed to the material equality part of that position.
