Watching Raw. 25 minutes in, and not sure anything coming could be more horrifying than the standards of teaching and student support at this bullshit university.

Thinking, not for the first time, about the bizarre fact that Robert Rankin's books aren't in print other than self-published Kindle editions, and the sad corollary that he barely gets talked about these days

Given how hugely protective jms is of his own IPs, it always bothered me how willing he's been to ignore Moore's wishes when playing around with Watchmen.

A bit far behind in my reading, but this piece on what happened to Christine Blasey Ford after she blew the whistle on Brett Kavanaugh is an essential, enraging read.

It really couldn't possibly be any clearer - centrist pols have realised the only way to stop the far right is to align with the left, and they have made it plain, as loudly and as often and as obnoxiously as they can, that they'd rather lose to the fascists than work with us to beat them.

france showed how to deal with the far right and that is to not give them even an inch. the new popular front - who literally saved france from a fascist majority parliament 2 days ago - didn’t say ‘oh but they do have reasonable concerns’ they said ‘these are fascist lunatics and we will beat them’

Dude's reverting to his true form. Also, this approach is literally what Labour leant fully into between Brown and Corbyn, and it was a total miserable failure. Remember the racist mugs? Remember the EdStone? Just fucking be racist on your own behalf, you cadaverous shite-golem.

Sir Ewan Forbes (1912-1991) was a Scottish nobleman, general practitioner, farmer, and a trans man. He transitioned during the 1930s, following medical care in Germany. He changed his name legally in 1952 and married Isabella Mitchell, his housekeeper and formerly co-founder of his dance troupe.

The "hilarious" thing about that single is how cynical it is. CC recorded the song themselves for their fourth album, put it on as a hidden track, then *someone* decided it could be a single, & got Carlton to do, like, two overdubs to be overlaid on the recorded version, to make it more marketable.

Thousands in the streets of Paris celebrating and cheering “no pasaran” or "They will not pass” as the far right falls out n France’s election. Just absolutely amazing scenes tonight across France as they fight the fascists back. Now it’s our time to be brave and come together to for a united front.

Trotsky was always right - fascist support is always driven first and foremost by a hatred of the left.

It’s amazing the extent to which our billionaire tech bro overlords are just telling us out loud that they are rooting for fascism. Makes me slightly nostalgic for the days when American plutocrats plotted against democracy in secret.

A fair amount of newspapers and broadcast journos have utterly lost the plot RE: UK, France, and Biden. They can’t grasp the rise of far right populism/fascism not quite happening so straightforwardly, or actually being effectively fought back against. Modi/India has vanished off the radar too…

seriously I cannot get enough. cry more. cry harder. understand that as long as people draw breath the opposition to fascism is stronger than you. whatever your reasons for being a fascist, know every time that your gains will be short ones which you'll relinquish in tears every. fuckin. time

yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

Starmer got less votes today than Corbyn did in the "disaster" of 2019, which Labour have given up absolutely every principle to avoid repeating. This wasn't a Labour win, it was a Conservative loss. Remember that for next time.

STV pointing out Corbyn's 40% didn't win but Starmer's much lower share will, and calling this "vote efficiency" feels incredibly like we're in Spinal Tap "appeal has become more selective" territory.

Penny Mourdant out. This one is particularly satisfying, given how completely she sold out the trans community to fractionally increase her chances to captain a sinking ship in 2022.

OK, in fairness, STV have gone back and played some of Corbyn's speech. It is, of course, absolutely lovely.
