I don't take the age thing seriously. THEY PICK A LIE ABOUT EVERY DEM, and the press knows it's some BS but plays along. They know that the other guy is worse in every way, especially his brain. They turned being a war hero into a liability against a fortunate son draft dodger.

Just found out that the guy who wrote 1984 is a different person to the one who directed Citizen Kane. I thought Orwell was just his two names together, like JLo.

Having recently been in that market I have considerable sympathy for those people. I have smelt the fear in auctions and it's a crazy thing

That's true. It's also true that the influence of traditional media is in decline. If Biden can win in the face of concerted media negativity then the end of traditional media might not be so bad after all

The mainstream media and social media environment surrounding Biden is more aggressively toxic than anything I can recall for a POTUS, Trump included. That more than anything Biden has or hasn’t done has me questioning the wisdom of him saying in. The negativity is overwhelming. (1/2)

For those who don't know: this is James Timpson of Timpson key cutters/shoe repairs/dry cleaners. His company employs ex-convicts and even runs work training programmes in prisons. Genuinely inspired choice.

The UK election was really close, a true nailbiter, it was probably a smart move for Starmer to sell out trans people to get those extra votes

The discourse around biden needing more sleep is fully insane. Does no one remember "Executive Time," the thing Trump spent the majority(!) of his schedule on where he would just watch TV and tweet? Dude was categorically unable to fulfill any of the demands of the office and the press barely cared

When you see the way the press is treating Joe Biden for aging in public, you see how they could treat Donald Trump for committing fraud, rape, espionage, and insurrection and never, ever will.

No, I like it being done and dusted by 9 (landslides) or 12 (close ones). The last late one we had was Turnbull in 2016 who didn't appreciate being kept up past bedtime

The interview on #ABC730 between Sarah Ferguson and Katy Gallagher is deliberately stepping around the issue of Labor MPs backgrounding journalists on the Payman situation. It's fucking irritating and the pair of them could easily bring it up but they won't.
