Labour also need to keep “the markets” (i.e. a few rich sociopaths who could severely tank the economy and usher in fascism or civil war if they ever felt the need to make their strength known) happy. So if Burnham doesn’t want to preside over hyper-austerity, he has to keep the most loathsome predators happy, while figuring out how to eke out marginal gains for the voters and how to spin them into something that feels more substantial.

Who came second-last this year, suggesting that standards of competitive tramsmanship are higher in Europe.

Given that Australia has a number of cities with (new or rebuilt) tramways, perhaps they should have a national competition between them to hone their talent and be better able to hold their own against the Europeans.

The problem is that actually running such an experiment properly and bringing home the conclusion of the horrors of fascism would be grossly unethical and impossible to do. (Some university psychology/sociology courses did similar things in the 1960s, though experimental ethics rules back then were flimsy.)

Those golden eagles around the winged Lady Liberty on the roof can have laser eyes to shoot down any incoming missiles (or bags of drugs catapulted over the border by MS-13, for that matter).

The incoming missiles to justify this can be provided by the fact that there’s now a prominent structure packed with ammunition standing at the centre of the US capital, a target too good to pass up.

Or, if he wanted to stay in business as a well-remunerated organ-grinder’s monkey, an apolitical entertainer who guarantees a good show to anyone who likes his songs regardless of politics, he should have vetted his supports better, as you can’t have it both ways.

He’s a Putinist and an anti-vaxer.

Surely all goths are by definition bisexual, even those who don’t use half of their bisexuality in practice

Superheroes are an inherently culturally American concept, and this comes through when authors from other countries do them.

Case in point: Britain. They had a few superhero cartoons like Bananaman and Supergran, but they were inherently parodic, stretching the bombast inherent in the concept to breaking point and deriving humour from the juxtaposition between that and the small, shabby details of everyday life in the UK. Though one could argue that the actual British equivalents of American costumed crimefighters would be James Bond and/or Doctor Who, though these don’t fall neatly into the category.

Contemporary psychiatrists might detect behaviour (in the plot of Herzog's latest film) consistent with autism or ADHD hyper-focus. Not Herzog. “I do not relate to all these trendy terms – I just can’t hear it, it dusts out of my ears,” said the Bavaria-born US-based director, speaking in the idiosyncratic, heavily accented English familiar to viewers of documentaries like My Favourite Fiend. “Neurodivergence sounds like there’s some sort of clinical aberration – these sisters are dead centre.”

Jordan Peterson is in ICU again. This time it’s not experimental drug treatment in Russia, but apparently the result of mould exposure, and/or a spiritual attack by unknown evildoers. His daughter and fellow carnivore influencer has called for prayers.

Panicked Curtis Yarvin—JD Vance's guru—plans to flee USA

The arsehole was quoted:

The second Trump revolution, like the first, is failing. It is failing because it deserves to fail. It is failing because it spends all its time patting itself on the back. It is failing because its true mission, which neither it nor (still less) its supporters understand, is still as far beyond its reach as algebra is beyond a cat. Because the vengeance meted out after its failure will dwarf the vengeance after 2020—because the successes of the second revolution are so much greater than the first—I feel that I personally have to start thinking realistically about how to flee the country. Everyone else in a similar position should have a 2029 plan as well. And it is not even clear that it will wait until 2029: losing the Congress will instantly put the administration on the defensive.

Me:

So apparently not all is good in broligarchy land. Still it’s more likely he might be suffering some breakdown instead. Relatively poverty stricken people buy expensive convertibles when they have a midlife crises. People like him poop on the internet. Most likely he will be around, for sometime, causing grief

Has anyone else noticed CoMaps’ handling of touch events (on iOS, at least) being a bit janky? Sometimes it zooms when I want to scroll, or zooms out when I want to zoom in. Is this a known issue that a fix is planned for?

2024: Ireland accuses Israel of genocide. Israel ends diplomatic relations with Ireland. Ireland’s membership in the EU protects it from punitive sanctions from Israel’s allies

2025: The UK starts dumping non-EU-compliant goods into the EU customs zone through Ireland, undercutting EU producers. The EU moves to suspend Ireland from the Customs Union. Ireland calls on the EU for diplomatic backup. Germany replies “lol get rekt antisemites”. Ireland is reunited as an economic satellite of the UK, a century or so after independence

Allegations that bomb detectors from an Israeli firm are configured to let bombs through if they have a specific code (presumably used by Mossad). The title is a reference to an anti-counterfeiting watermark used in currency
