Ohhhhhhhh found this at last. @meemocomma.bsky.social made a mix for me five years ago that is one of my favourites ever, I finally dug up decent quality audio of it, and here it is for your pleasure and mind expansion. Free download for subscribers, too. And doesn't she look mystical in that pic?
OK listen not even NEAR to unpacking what happened last weekend, but here's a brain dump and, yes, another.... ....mmmmmmmanifesto. π₯³ Please give it a read, share, all the rest. Get involved. joemuggs.substack.com/p/the-100000...
They don't call their spuds Royals for nothing!!
Test of my puerility levels: how many times can I snigger at the phrase "double elimination" on University Challenge.
Every time, so far.
Campaign to award Donald J Trump the Nobel Peace Prize for hastening the death of the oil economy, and handing it to him on his deathbed, starts here.
β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
it's wild that no major media on earth can report the fact that he's dying (we just don't know how fast) and that the entirety of geopolitics hinges on the fact that every leader of every country and organisation is essentially making bets on when It'll Happen
I, a clickbait merchant who sells mildly psychedelic snake oil, have become skilled in avoiding criticism of anything I do, as I find it necessary for my business.
and "There sure are a lot of nearly hysterical dismissals of this thread from people who don't seem to understand the underlying issues" is not a blanket dismissal of the responses?
righto
I remain steadfast in my view that Starmer's brain has broken. And sadly still semi-convinced that it was his weird would-be stoic approach to processing his brother's death that did it.
The words coming out of Trump's mouth are 100% reactive, a reflection of what he believes will impress/pressure/deceive the people he's talking to. Again, the most useful comparison is an LLM trying to complete the prompt. He's doing autocomplete all the time, independent of truth or reality.

You can instantly tell a lot of people never had parents or grandparents who did farming
Great work by NYT showing Trump's war is the most unpopular ever. Supports my argument (see below) that in some ways the public rejection of Trump across the board is a very heartening development:
If you donβt believe me, take a look at how misogynistic and racist a white leftist man becomes when he insists the only real struggle in this world is class and nothing else.
People are not going to like this but some of you have absolutely learned the language of social justice with the intention of cloaking your misogyny and racism instead of doing any actual good with it.
I am genuinely disgusted at how much better I feel after wholemeal toast, whole peanut butter, a banana, proper hydration and gym, as compared to six sweet coffees and immediately hunching over computer.

Ok but isβ being Wes Streetingβ over or under diagnosed?
Should people who canβt help their βbeing Wes Streetingβ get more support or are they just doing it for attention?

It's amazing what they can do nowadays.
Science has now found a way of generating early Beck lyrics.
I'm not 100% sure about that, I think he'd have found a Secret Third Way of being reactionary.
I mean let's face it Douglas Murray has been politewashing the Great Replacement Theory in the Spectator et al for many many years now. It's not really been subtle.

This fall, hes the totalitarian dictator of a theocratic pariah state and hes the ambassador for a nation conducting human rights abuses. The twist, they hate each other and they live right next door to each other. The fall on NBC "Don't Trust the B in flat 23".
