a lot of talk about people getting more insane but nobody willing to link it to the day in middle school when we were led into a cave to glimpse our future self and decide whether or not we believed in determinism. sometimes I think I’m still back there. what “choice” did I make?

I really hope its a nothing burger and the entire UK just shrugs and refuses to adapt or change in any way. I just don't trust the British not to do the cruellest, stupidest things, because... *behold the entire history of Britain*

It's non-binary awareness day or something today. I have a lot of Thoughts™️ about that which are hard to put into words Nevertheless, here I am. It is a boringly concrete fact about me, as well as a breath of air so clear and light it feels like my chest has opened wide to take it in.

The Omen is a pretty tedious movie and it's greatest legacy is the 'contrived horrific accident' template that launched Final Destination.

Give up your collective bargaining rights and we’ll give you some cheap, fancy consumer goods, a bit of social liberalism and maybe even a house, if you work hard. There, that wasn’t so bad! (Five minutes later) So, we’ve got bad news about the house, and the consumer goods. And the liberalism.

My other take that may get me grief is that even though I think the term is useful for class consciousness, focusing your Leftism solely around ‘workers’ when it comes to who deserves to have their needs addressed is a built-in concession that you’re willing to abandon the needy who can’t work.

When i was a kid, my mum listened to a lot of sophisti-pop and new wave. My dad was a huge Beatles nerd, so that was always in the background. They were both into the late 80s folk revival too, so lots of that.

Still, cheer up: At least Sir Keir and his handlers are utterly miserable. This system has offered the public more or less nothing good or productive to cheer in the 21st century but it does often give us the schadenfreude of some of the more rank bastards within it being publicly humiliated.

Name a TV show you’re positive no one else remembers but you. Impeccable, often really weird show, very stylised & slightly overwritten in a good way. BBC said ACAB.
Title for Bbc's 2012 crime series The Shadow Line, with Chiwetel Ejiofor, Stephen Rea and Christopher Eccleston all looking very seriously at the camera.

You keep identifying this or that cause or group of humans that you think are expendable in a contingency, and throwing them to the wolves, carving and slicing off parts of your own humanity in the process, and each time the wolves grow stronger and advance closer upon your own heels.
