Young guy on train playing music without headphones obnoxiously loudly. Older guy taps him on the shoulder and says ‘excuse me could you turn that down a bit, thank you’ and he says ‘I am gonna turn it down but because I want to, yeah, not because you told me’.

It’s always things parents actually don’t have control over (like not being able to afford things) that they’re asked to ‘take responsibility’ for. What about rich, awful parents who inflict damage on their children and the world?

No I’m just fed up of these right wing men, none of whom are up for a father of the year award, trying to make the state of society somehow child free women’s fault.

I can’t believe how easily working class readership of right wing papers can be persuaded to hate the idea that they and their own children should have the same access to higher education as wealthy people and their kids have. *claps hands* WAKE UP, PEOPLE, THIS IS CLASS WARFARE.

And thus Reform’s claims that they are wildly popular amongst young men are proved conclusively to be utter, utter bollocks (as, not meaning to be smug, I have told you for quite some time).

The government have said that protecting Jewish people from racial hatred is a priority. So I am sure the explicitly Nazi group who marched in the midlands this weekend will be prescribed as a terrorist organisation. Even though they’ve never criticised Israel.

They do look nice. It would be good if someone made a regular oven that had the kind of roundy-glossiness of an aga. But then everyone would think you were the sort that had an aga…. (Hashtag not all aga owners).

I stayed in an air b&b with an aga once. Never been so confused trying to cook stuff that isn’t raw or burnt.

Just listening to Emily Maitlis’ story on @newsagents.bsky.social about how Mandleson belittled and mocked her after she asked him about potential connections with Russia in an interview. Dissing Maitlis shows a baked-in lack of respect for women IMO - open.spotify.com/episode/0Tqo...

Also that’s not ‘countless’ young men. It’s 6. I don’t wanna boast, but I was able to count them quite easily.

The moral panic about young men is the new version of “UKIP is winning over former Labour voters” (also a Goodwin argument). Both rely on anecdote more than data, and do significant damage to public understanding of the radical right. Young men are the second *least* pro-Reform group in the UK.

Nothing to see here. Just the Times Magazine trying to rehabilitate Mandleson’s image. Totally normal and understandable. I mean, who of us has not shared highly sensitive government information with the world’s most prolific pedophile?

Every time the White House backtracks or deletes something because of pushback, it just proves to me that those losers are still terrified of backlash. This is a good thing. We can use that.

The United Nations have warned that in less than 2 years we are heading to a fresh water crisis which will likely result in water rationing. AI use is accelerating this. The makers of AI won’t stop cos they’ll be last to be hit by the water crisis. They’ll watch as we fight for vital resources.
