Trounced them. Pleasing.

I hope the Greens win today. I fear I may be wearing rose-tinted glasses though. The public seem determined to keep running head first into brick walls.
That's awful. I'm so sorry. Condolences friend.
Probably a famous sword, Charlemagne's sword Joyeuse or the Kusanagi sword of the Japanese imperial treasures.
The crucial difference, in other words, is not that Starmer has made enemies, but how much effort his government has put into kicking its friends. The performative harshness of policies towards immigrants or trans people; the ministers or spokespeople whoβve noisily attacked universities, welfare claimants, public sector workers, social liberals β almost anyone, in short, who might be naturally minded to support a Labour government. Theyβve attacked all these people, in a desperate attempt to make clear to racists and social conservatives that they hear them. If the racists and social conservatives were actually going to vote for them this would merely seem abhorrent. When they clearly arenβt, itβs stupid too. No, it is not surprising that Starmer is so unpopular.
Jonn Elledge @jonnelledge.bsky.social sums up why Starmer is responsible for voters hating him after such a short time:
Had enough of these people.
Streeting's face is hard to look at. It's like a textbook image of the word 'insincerity'.
Fear the old blood.
Morgan McSweeney and his downfall reveal what the Starmer project always was.
A project defined by kneeling before wealth, seeking power for its own sake, ridding Labour of any principle or morality.
It is an irredeemably corrupt project which was always doomed.
He's a goner, that Starmer. Utter lame duck. All that conniving for a taste of power and for what? Contemptible.
BREAKING: Morgan McSweeney quits as Keir Starmer's chief of staff amid fall-out from the Mandelson scandal
'party insiders' and trash like this is the reason they are in this mess.
Mandelson would never have been exposed by the British media if it wasn't for the US DOJ dumping all those files. They would have assisted in covering up his role instead, like they've been doing for the past 30 years. They knew what he was and they kept quiet for decades.
Sources tell me (as per @hzeffman.bsky.social) that John Pond who was copied into the emails forwarded to Epstein was in fact Gordon Brown - a code name for aides stored in their contacts.
Emails intended for the prime minister went directly to the disgraced financier.
I don't indulge, but this seems like good news for those who do.
This is Maybelline. She was found as a stray, struggling to breathe. Born with an elongated soft palate and abnormal sinuses that cause severe swelling, she has never been able to take a full breath. Surgery will give her that chance. You can help her below β€οΈβπ©Ή

Don't worry. Fairly certain they still plan to go after disabled people because remarkably few people give a shit.
Just seen Grok putting the body of the victim of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis into a bikini. Digital corpse desecration now available to the public.
#OtD 1 Jan 1934 Nazi Germany enacted a law which forcibly sterilised more than 400,000 disabled people. Later they began murdering them, killing 250,000. Their rhetoric about disabled and ill people being a burden on workers is still widespread today stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8069...
No shit.
I had no idea about Bardot's nasty political views until today. We really can't have nice things, can we?
Live. Deer in the snow.

It's hard to fathom but we are now *here* on this path to fascism.
Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes
