Labour whistleblower reveals party members are determined not to allow the Tories to have a monopoly on being the nasty party. “Why should they have all the fun?” one is quoted as saying. Film at eleven.

Comin’ over ‘ere, takin’ our sausages! Give 'em back! Return our sausages!

Whoever has been left as its leadership is a dumbass.

Not in the slightest. More likely their annual bonus depends on boosting revenue right now. So they’re incentivised to generate short term increases in revenue but not for longer term. Plus, also, if/when Youtube goes tits up they’ll just get a different CEOing job (with “increased revenue by 25% in 2024 on their resume”) rinse and repeat.

Kind of my point. We gained ecommerce, streaming services, platforms such as this one, online gaming, mapping services, and others - at the cost of the freedoms for which people are nostalgic. And now we have ads, personalization, tracking, and inevitable enshitification.

Back in the days of the wild frontier things were chaotic, anarchic, violent, and unconstrained.

Then came the churches, then came the schools
Then came the lawyers, then came the rules
Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads
And the dirty old track was the Telegraph Road

And now we’re all fenced in, regulated, allowed to wander only in approved lanes… oh, wait, sorry, we’re talking about the internet, not real life!

Me. Sigh.

Hmmm. I think Liz Truss is a useless conglomeration of pus and mucus as much as the next chap, but ‘considered cutting’ doesn’t seem like that much of a crime to me. Not compared to ‘utterly fucked the economy and brought financial stress and ruin to millions of UK citizens’.

Ooh, he’s got him there, it rhymes!

“That’s right, you read that correctly, Tommy is being held by police using counter terrorism legislation."

Probably fair enough. What’s your point?

Goldman Sachs is overhyped and unreliable.

His report, “Protecting Our Democracy from Coercion”, also names… Just Stop Oil

Yup. Assassins. Yup.

makes you wonder what European spooks are doing with their time and all that money.

Having affairs, smokin’ cubans, and drinkin’ cognac.

“I too, like typical human food, such as a BLT: banana, liverwurst, and tapenade. There’s a reason it’s a classic and that reason is that humans - such as I am - enjoy this combination of flavours between two slices of laverbread.”

The group has since apologised, claiming they were “unaware of the origins and connotations of the song".

Chinny reckon.

“We’re fucking kicking all the Muslims out of the mosques and turning them into Wetherspoon’s.”

What a silly billy. You can’t turn Muslims into Wetherspoons.

It seems to me a given that you shouldn’t be able to place bets on outcomes you can directly influence. This is not so different from e.g. a boxer betting on himself to lose.

“A rich, lefty, white male celebrity…" - well, she’s not wrong. Must make a nice change for her.

“… he can’t see the optics of attacking the only Black woman in government by calling publicly for my existence to end.” - and why hasn’t her government appointed any other black women?

“This is an early example of what life will be like if they win….” - sweet.

“Do not let the bigots and bullies win.” - see above.

I’m anaspeptic, phrasmotic, even compunctuous to have read such pericombobulation.

Closet racists friends with open racists shocker! Film at eleven! Now here’s a word from our sponsors…
