"Why are young people moving to the right? To answer this question, we have two people who recently lost in elections to the Green Party".

I disagree wildly with one point here: I DON'T think the first person trend is coming from fanfic. Fanfic is overwhelmingly written in third, and many fic readers refuse to read first altogether.

Researcher: Claude, please eat ten hamburgers.

Claude: Done! I have eaten ten hamburgers. The first two were delicious, but after that I began to experience bloating and the meat sweats.

Vulgar auteurism has gone too far

My mind has been returning to this video all weekend

Reform win a seat: The true Volk have spoken and we all must listen.

Greens win a seat: Early reports that Muslims may have ‘voted’ (an ancient Islamic practice designed to steal elections). How severely should the franchise be limited in response?

My cousin lives in Dubai and their doggy daycare is fancier than Eton

I guess that answers this morning's question.

RIP to a real one

I’ve been saying the political and media class don’t think about people of colour as actual voters and think there’s about 1000 of us here fresh off the Windrush. Instead of 10 million people. You can’t afford to piss us off for your Reform voter baiting.

Next: the London local elections in May.

The funniest thing would be if the Labour Party also got arrested today

The Labour commitment to making every structural mistake the Tories did, including not working out how to effectively fight an intra-bloc challenger, is actually quite impressive.

Alarming scenes at number 10 this morning, sources report Starmer took a delivery of 16 alpacas and a nail gun, no statement from his office yet

matt goodwin *will* see your jokes about him and they will gnaw away at what’s left of his soul forever and ever and ever

Has anyone said more like Matt Goodlose yet

white voters get their legitimate concerns addressed, non-white voters are pandered to. it's an irregular verb.

It's a good night for schadenfreude

I mean I know we all thought the McSweeney strategy was boneheaded but now we have actual scientific proof of its lunacy

i do not believe for one moment anyone on bluesky can do this. you are all over 35. it's not even the alcohol or the running, you simply do not have the digestive tract for this anymore. beer gives you a headache. if you eat onions you get bloated. you have acid reflux twice a week

Simpsons meme: there'll be no tax on childless women then. I'll tell the children

yeah, this was the first one we had before we upgraded to the zojirushi and we still get it out when we only need two portions

Basically whenever you see a news story based on survey results of 18-24 year olds, especially if it's a subset of a large poll of all age groups, just assume it's nonsense

I got into an argument with a terf recently and she said "your biology is why you're the one on maternity leave" and I was like "pretty sure that's because women as a social class are expected to do most of the childcare completely alone on a pittance" and she did not like that

we need a rom-com that unites the people in revolutionary struggle

This is relevant again

I'm so sorry, hope you beat it and let us know if you need anything 💗

The pop-history account of how France chose violent revolution and Britain chose gradual reform always slides over the fact that Britain fought its own very bloody revolution(s) over the same issues, they just did it a few centuries earlier.

They should've had one in Succession
