Starmer's all about rule of law, until he isn't.
Starmer's response to Trump's illegal assault on Venezuela is essentially to say that he will respond later

Please remember that these "A.i." products are controlled by fascist, eugenicist billionaires. Don't give them your information. Don't give them your thoughts. Don't give them any goddamn thing.
Don’t say anything to a chatbot that you wouldn’t say to Sam Altman on an open mic in the middle of a packed stadium.
Or… just don’t say anything to a chatbot.

How to become a smart person:
Step one: recognize how stupid everyone else is.
Step two: recognize how stupid you are.
Step three, and this is the real clincher: actually read some fucking books once in a while.

People are not just rejecting Starmer personally. They are rejecting the whole project. The relentless inescapability of These Cunts In Particular. The reason people in the press can't see it is because this is their project, that they sweated and bled to force on us, and they can't admit error.
Again: Starmer is less popular than Truss and Johnson because he was supposed to not be this, he was the lifeline people desperately reached out for. But the job of the Labour right is to say, no, fuck you, whoever you vote for, it's just us again. Be grateful, peasants.
In today's episode of Everything Is America Now, here's Starmer's disgraced ex-director of political strategy blaming Labour's failures on a Brit version of the US Deep State, made up of NGOs, activists, lawyers & regulators.
If this sounds like far rightism à la Cummings, that's because it 100% is

The copyright protection that Labour intends to remove from artists is the one that also protects people from having their holiday snaps turned into porn on twitter. If it is fair game for generative AI to slopify books, films and music, then your personal photos will also be fair game.

Not to mention the climate emergency.

Saw on the New Year by finishing with Less Than Zero. Not read anything other than American Psycho by B.E.Ellis and this certainly swims in the same amoral waters. A novel about nothing that terminates in very fitting alienation by way of venal amorality. Like the toilet Trump et al festered in.

Local park being quieter in winter has meant the dog owning reprobates have taken advantage to let their hounds shit everywhere without fear of being spotted. Anyone got any workable solutions with the lack of evidence being the biggest issue?

Today you could do worse than donate to @medicalaidpal.bsky.social given the state of Israel has committed to weaponising aid in such a manner to restrict aid deliveries and to put aid agency staff in direct danger.

I was recently approached by a recruiter about a job opportunity. They have known me for ages (I've both placed and been placed by her over the years), and so she knows my salary. "It's a £10,000 increase on what you're on today". Only, it wasn't.
