Is Liberalism alive? A response to Dr Roz Savage’s pamphlet Roz Savage's new Compass pamphlet is a step forward in spelling out a 21st century liberal vision for the UK. But her wariness of being seen as left wing means she hedges when more clarity is needed.

What’s that you say? Liz has a new book out which even the Telegraph is saying is even more unhinged than the last one? Wonderful, I’ll post this then.

This is probably the best ad I've seen against using generative AI: Mayer, who was an engineer at Google and a chief executive of Yahoo, has rotted her brain so much she can no longer classify her daughter as "empathetic, creative and an animal lover". The slide of competence is incredible.

This makes sense...or rather it doesn't.

Why are the people who accuse those talking about reversing Brexit of "living in the past" never asked about their own plans to rip up an international agreement that was first signed by the UK some 75 years ago?

He's so close

McCarthy / Riot

We can at least agree with Trump on that.

Don’t give them an inch.

What is the BBC's justification for maintaining this level of coverage of Reform now it has slipped into third place?

Exactly right. It's why the idea of "UK PLC" was so grotesque - as if a nation was just a limited company, that could be wound up, taken over, merged or dissolved, with no roots in the past and no responsibility to the future.

💯The case for democracy is not that voters are always right, or wise, or good. It's that they can correct their mistakes. That's why it's so dangerous to have billionaires controlling the media or regulating the flow of information. It shuts down the immune system of democracy.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

While the election result in #Brazil is obviously good news, we should remember that countless American wannabe-fascists poured $billions into achieving the opposite result and now have nothing to show for it, so it's not just good news, but also objectively hilarious.

No, they were middle-aged men wearing powdered wigs, elaborately embroidered hostess jackets, silk hose, and shoes with enormous buckles and substantial heels. In other words, our Constitution was written and signed by drag queens.

get in, no time to explain

“A distinctly British approach to AI…”

I'd be more relaxed about Louis Mosley being in public life if he didn't insist on wearing black all the time.

I ain't done a hot take in a while: filling a 20 question questionnaire for your character in your game actually makes them bad. The less (3-5) is better. Work the rest out in game.

Fascinating Jeremy, now tell us about the time you cut national insurance twice as an electoral game despite knowing we couldn't afford it.

Anyone who’s had this will tell you the same story and it is IMO important to understand the terror of transgender people as sex offenders is much the same thing as black-clad lads in the street shouting against migrants as sex offenders. They are different facets of the same reactionary project.

The scheduling demons deploy their twice yearly bullshit to throw off your gaming plans. Don't let them win! Clocks went back last night in European timezones. This makes time differences wobbly for a while. Always try to use unicodes (like hammer.time or Discords @time function) to avoid mix ups!

This is one of the larger left-of-center Facebook pages, and I do feel like a few years ago, left-of-center people on social media with large audiences were not using terms like “goyslop”?

Rolled a knobbly condom over the dressing on my dog's injured paw, covered by a taped-on sock. Forgot to remove it in time so vet saw it in front of my mortified teenage daughter, then invited all the staff in to admire my ingenuity.

"This could have been an email." Aragorn whispers. "He ALWAYS pulls this shit in 'Any Other Business" Boromir replies, quietly. "It's why Faramir marked himself as busy when the invite went out."

"A distinctively British approach to artificial intelligence"

Dozens of blood alchemists in the Order of the Obsidian Skull have petitioned the shadowy cabal to stop the sale of its gorehounds to Lord Hellfang

i've said this before, but modern centrists have never understood what the argument against them even is they see analysis based on the frequently-referenced, well-evidenced, two decades old idea that politics is symbolically gendered & they're just like "woah, what on earth is this"

(To be clear: I’m the sicko)
