Is this the right moment to point out that the polls had the SDP on 52% in 1982 and that Nigel F isn’t fit to lace Roy Jenkins’ boots?

@Ferretgrove I thought it was only me. I feel seen.

@DouglasCarswell the fact that you list these things as though they are acceptable, let alone desirable, shows the completeness of the right’s abandonment of orderly, aspirational, compassionate governance in favour of this pig ignorant, tub-thumping, fascist-adjacent idiocy.

Brits wondering what it feels like in the US right now, imagine you voted for someone, and on week one they: - Declared illegal immigration an emergency and threw the resources of the state into stopping it. - Ended birthright citizenship for illegal immigrants. - Prepared for mass deportations. - Sacked the DEI diversity hires in government. - Fired senior civil servants unwilling to action items above. - Instructed work shy civil servants to show up for work, or be fired. - Scrapped the renewable energy nonsense. You don't have to put up with the leftist establishment anymore. There is an alternative.

Hello, this is your regular reminder that this site is rigged by its far-right owner to prioritise far-right content.

Tony Campolo passed away today. He was 89 years old. He was one of the most gifted preachers I have ever heard. If you have a few minutes, listen to him tell the story of throwing a birthday party for a prostitute in Hawaii. It's worth your time.

The world will be crueler now. Won’t be just Trump but the license he provides to the miscreants.

This should have been the end.

interesting, but Trump's win makes the assumptions behind this redundant at best, and at worst harmful to the future prospects of defeating the next inheritor of his 'coalition' of voters

The hardest thing to accept is the cruelty. People saw what it was. And they voted for it anyway tinyurl.com/5bud875t

We can empathise with voters + accept the result but Trump’s victory does not make his program or vision better. We were wrong to believe Kamala Harris would win. We were not wrong to believe that she should have won. Or that the values + vision that she represents can win again

in retrospect, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords really might've been a better basis for a system of government.

What to expect.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

Both Interpol, the organisation, and Interpol the band are going to be in Glasgow tomorrow, and that's scratching a part of my brain that I didn't know needed scratched

I am troubled by Trump, but I am even more troubled by the people who claim to be Christians that defend him… @Franklin_Graham @seanfeucht @robertjeffress @charliekirk11 Trump is vulgar and mean. He has made a vocation out of the seven deadly sins, and a mockery of the fruits of the Spirit. Trump needs Jesus. And we need a new President. We shouldn’t allow our middle school kids to act like this… let alone someone aspiring to be President. You cannot follow Jesus and Trump. Choose Jesus.

It’s quite obviously AI. The facial distortion, the blurring of the hands, the podium caption reading “Ramble Rants” and the hands of the man in the background. Even when we’d like something to be true we have to engage our critical faculties first, otherwise we’re lost.
