Keir Starmer, is this you too?

Virginia Heffernan wrote this shortly after the 2016 election and it still holds true
THIS is what makes my head spin: The president is not a moral figure in any idiom, any land, any culture, any subculture. I'm not talking about the liberal enlightenment that would make him want the country to take care of the poor and sick. I mean he has no Republican values either. He has no honor among thieves, no cosa nostra loyalty, no Southern code against cheating or lying, none of the openness of New York, rectitude of Boston, expressiveness and kindness of California, no evangelical family values, no Protestant work ethic. No Catholic moral seriousness, no sense of contrition or gratitude. No Jewish moral and intellectual precision, sense of history. He doesn't care about the life of the mind OR the life of the senses. He is not mandarin, not committed to inquiry or justice, not hospitable. He is not proper. He is not a bon vivant who loves to eat, drink, laugh. There's nothing he would die for - not American values, obviously, but not the land of Russia or his wife or young son. He has some hollow success creeds from Norman Vincent Peale, but Peale was obsessed with fair-dealing and a Presbyterian pastor; Trump has no fairness or piety. He's not sentimental; no affection for dogs or babies. No love for mothers, "the common man"" veterans. He has no sense of military valor, and is openly a coward about war. He would have sorely lacked the pagan beauty and capacity to fight required in ancient Greece. He doesn't care about his wife or wives; he is a philanderer but he's not a romantic hero with great love for women and sex. He commands loyalty and labor from his children not because he loves them, even; he seems almost to hate them — and if one of them slipped it would be terrifying. He does no philanthropy. He doesn't - in a more secular key - even seem to have a sense of his enlightened self-interest enough to shake Angela Merkel's hand. Doesn't even affect a love for the arts, like most rich New Yorkers. He doesn't live and die by aesthetics and health practices like some fascists; he's very ugly and barely mammalian. Am I missing an obscure moral system to which he so much as nods? Also are there other people, living or dead, like him?

I invite you to ask yourself why the language of protestors has been a terrifying daily concern, but e.g. successive governments giving the US unlimited use of our airbases to fly a gajillion dollars of weapons of destruction into Israel for use on huge numbers of civilians is not concerning at all.

Starmer urges Europe’s leaders to update ECHR to halt rise of far right
Exclusive: PM calls for members of European convention on human rights to allow tougher action to protect borders * We must protect our borders to defend our democracies – and that means the ECHR must change Keir Starmer has called on European leaders to urgently update joint human rights laws so that member states can take tougher action to protect their borders and see off the rise of the populist right across the continent. Before a crucial European summit on Wednesday, the prime minister urged fellow members to “go further” in modernising the European convention on human rights (ECHR) to prevent asylum seekers using it to avoid deportation.

I think about this little guy all the damned time.

I saw him in the DIA collection almost ten years ago and he's remained a permanent fixture in my brain ever since.

Art is fucking wonderful.

The music for Gigalopolis Zone in 'Sonic Chaos' is different between Master System and Game Gear. Turns out, the Master System version uses the song "Oh Yes!1 (SONG 0)", which is a demo tune from the KORG M1 synthesizer. Here's a comparison of the two.

Yes and yet several European countries are embracing a far-right worldview that would burn these policies to the ground, so let’s be not be smug or complacent here - particularly as Mamdani‘s pro-immigration stance is radical by European standards.

35 years ago, the highly influential Mean Machines launched. It was Britain's first dedicated monthly consoles magazine and became renown for its brutally honest reviews, top-class tips, and outrageous, close-to-the-knuckle humor. But then, if you read it, you'd know all this!

Banksy satirised the state silencing those opposed to Israel’s genocide.

The state then inadvertently made his artwork genius.

The UK media and political establishment need to be held to account and also private citizens of considerable influence who have been denying an ongoing genocide. They are all genocide supporters and abettors a lot of them because they are going to get some type of profit out of it
