So predictably, far from satisfying anyone, Mahmood’s proposals have opened up space even further to the right for people to indulge their most deranged anti-immigration obsessions. Where does she go from here? Seek to match them in a gruesome auction of cruelty she can never win?
Trevor Phillips proposes banning "remittances" (ie: imposing currency/exchange controls on international cash transfers by foreign nationals from Britain). He says this would disincentivise immigration, in a Times piece saying the Home Secretary needs to go [much] further

The Chinese word for "paedophile" is a combination of the characters for "danger" and "opportunity". Think about it!

Trump's Transportation Secretary on how to improve air travel:
"People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly... We want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season, help people out, be in a good mood, dress up"

There is a new Google ad depicting a world where everyone is carrying around a soft-serve ice cream cone. At the end, they show someone talking to their Pixel phone, and end with “everything else is vanilla.” I… I want to live in the ice cream universe 🥲

Sinead, 38, lives in a small flat in the heart of London's East End where two cats chase each other through the hall and the Zhuangzi and Marx's Capital - two books she was reading while making larp costume - sit on her desk. She writes with a dip pen, like a Mountain Goats song come to life.

it's good to be politically correct actually. you should take care to avoid unnecessary offence, and this norm should be institutionally backed
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Don't wanna pile on. But. To the general public it will just be implausible to suggest that journalistic standards meant a lead suggesting a Trump-Epstein link wasn't worth pursuing when the NYT did run with "Mamdani said he was African American in an application to a college he didn't get into".

My feelings about the BBC are largely in line with my feelings about the NHS.
I think it is vital we have a publicly owned and funded broadcaster and its enemies are my enemies, but I *detest* the way it's talked about as some gift to the peasantry we're supposed to be fawningly grateful for.

Revealing division in my timeline between (1) my insider friends who have lived privileged lives who are very keen that we defend the BBC and think it's important it survives and (2) my outsider friends who feel (at best) ambivalent about the BBC's survival.

I do like how, in the bit of Prescott's memo where he criticises the BBC for editing together different parts of Trump's speech, his own quote of "what Trump actually said" is... edited together from different parts of his speech.
