Fan of Doctor Who, history and generally nerdy stuff. Left the bird after some unpleasantness. Slightly left of centre left. All views my own and don't reflect my employer or anyone else.

Finally catching up on a lot of horror films I missed over the last few years. "Longlegs" is a bit fucking good isn't it?

Be interesting to see how the "low tax, low spend" Tories answer the inevitable questions on how they are going to fix the infrastructure, roads and public services left crumbling after their last scorched earth government.

The worst kind of poster on social media is the one that basically just goes "the thing you like is shit" with no attempted justification for that view.

While everybody is debating the likes of 3 pin plugs and the NHS as the greatest sources of British pride, for me it's the Electoral Commission. Yes sometimes they're a bit wishy washy but having a 100% independent, unscrupulous body to run out elections is so underrated now.

Sometimes wish the democratic left were as Stalinist as the far right believe. Round up these blackshorts losers and send them to a gulag on the Isle of Wight. Water cannons, rubber bullets, tear gas, dogs. Ban on face coverings. Trials under treason and terrorism legislation. Chain gangs.

Again it's striking how frequently you see the police make a statement about the law which is just wrong.

Something that really irritates me is when you think a podcast has posted a new episode and it turns out to be an episode of a different podcast that you don't give a fuck about.

Literally had no idea it was still a thing. My only encounter with it has been the theme tune in quiz music rounds. I assumed it was a 70s show. Sure boomers who haven't watched it in years will be moaning/threatening not to pay their license fee.

Until the Tories acknowledge the disastrous long term effects of Thatcherism and the cul de sac it ultimately proved to be, and come up with something new, probably more One Nation, they will continue to be despised.

Why can't any of the tech billionaires use their phenomenal wealth to do 1% of the good Dolly Parton did with hers? Is it because she earned all her wealth from nothing, but the tech billionaires tend to come from a life of entitlement from day one?

Writing a kids song about collective action and not bowing to defeat then releasing it during peak Thatcherism, "We All Stand Together" is a song of quiet revolution.

Maybe neither Jason Arday nor this Cofnas creature should have been appointed to academia. Maybe we should start appointing people that are serious thinkers with important ideas and theories rather than grifting culture war hacks of assorted ideologies and positions.
