Just a boy, standing in front of a social media screen, asking it to love me. Come to think of it, doesn’t seem that healthy. Politics, Oil Pastels and thoughts on films.

AI is to software what 3D printing was meant to be for manufacturing (and may still be with AI’s help).

I think we should be legitimately concerned at the massive threat racism is to this country.

Burnham could seize this moment to give the electoral commission proper teeth, and invite cross party support for it, even quoting Orr’s critique. Sure Labour might suffer a little from reduced donations possibly but Reform would be dead and buried not least because Farage would be outflanked.

I wonder if the generational political divide can be summarised as the resistance of a transition from the social contract moving from a consent to work to make owners rich to a submission to work if you want to share in the resources owned by rich people. I. Effect what’s the purpose of government?

Ludwig 2nd season is a real step up. I liked it before but somehow the writing and Maxwell-Martin and Mitchell’s performances are much more confident and really really funny, plus the added joy of speculating that it’s his love letter to his wife, and it’s in the uk sitcom pantheon. Barkeresque.

Why is it worse to have an unfunded vat cut to electricity bills rather than an unfunded digital ID scheme? From the public point of view id have thought it was a better use of the money that would need to be found in anycase.

Ok… hear me out. England win the World Cup, Andy Burnham turns out to be quite good, Farage gets beaten by count binface in the ultimately British way of defeating facism by laughing at them. Dare we dream?

Farage would rather incite a riot, be roundly condemned in parliament and be the subject of a weird AI deep fake with the boe governor than have his name associated with that 5million quid. He knows very well what actually damages his brand.

Quite hard not to think Blair speaking up is a sign that his influence on the current government has waned very significantly suddenly. Which in the end is a good sign.

Fwiw Jess Philips is right and it’s quite similar to what John Major said on Newsnight. The avoidance of the debate is what people are sick from and of and the media are also involved in this. If politicians could set out their different visions honestly and respectfully a decision might be reached.

Wolf J Flywheel @wjflywheel.bsky.social · 12/05/2026
Watching Newsnight and two different Labour positions laid out and respectfully discussed, a genuine disagreement fleshed out and I think it’s possible that hearing that productive argument might actually sound good to the country provided they actually do something once they’ve had it.

Even I am shocked at how quickly and unrepentantly all the lads have gone straight back to late 2019 levels of wildly irresponsible screeching, pointing and screaming whatever accusations you want, regardless of merit, at the prospect of the Sensible Moderates losing ground to the liberal left.

For the first time, I am slightly open to the benefits of having a royal and apolitical head of state, though really that just highlights the disastrous state of our genuinely political actors are in. Maybe PR and a horseshoe parliament would mean consensus return in the civilians interests.

Something kind of strange is happening. Watching Newsnight and it really seems like they are editorially pushing quite a small c conservative viewpoint but there was also a genuine left wing argument set out too and you could feel how tense the studio was, the argument stood up to their “scrutiny”.

Nobody is more astonished to discover that this crank is a crank, than the people who repeatedly invited him onto their TV shows to do crankery. I’m sure everyone else is totally reasonable however, and there is no broader “obvious crackpots making up drivel” problem with current affairs reporting.

Watching the news at the moment is like living through the trauma rippling through the crowd that just registered a little voice shout “the emperor’s got no clothes on” but in super slow-mo and over and over.

I think, even though it’s clearly an illegal war, it is now up to the people to rise up and bring about a regime change, I just don’t think the world can afford to wait until the mid terms in November, the good people of the US who gave us this clown are responsible for getting rid of him.

In 2009 the financial system needed cash and knew where to find it, from the 80s onwards a large business stream had built up laundering money for organised criminal organisations, now there is a mafia boss running the US foreign policy. These are not unrelated. Capone now runs the US treasury.

Why arent journalist asking why Andrew lost his titles? What was it that he did that meant they werent appropriate and why then? Was the king admitting that Andrew lied? how and when did he know? There’s still something obvious that’s not being spoken which nearly always happens in abuse situations.

Starmer is going to be gone before the election that he prevented Burnham standing in, if he’d let him stand the PLP would have kept him around at least another month to vote for the king of the north.

Seems like there’s a direction of travel here. Who’d bet on Starmer at this point? And this is 1000% not about the survivors. The first and foremost thing we should be calling for is Andrew and Peter to assist the authorities with their enquiries.

And suddenly he’s not a lame duck anymore and duck talk disappears from the podcasts. The pessimist in me is expecting even more escalation as he thrashes his horns and whips his tail to spell out “please please look at me or I don’t feel powerful” and the clock ticks on his politics and his life.

I think this is probably a crazy idea but…. what if governments sued AI companies for billions for the obvious copyright infringement as a way to pay off public debts? The money would more or less go back to the same people, the copyright infringement would stop, and we’d have public services.
