Champagne socialist. UK politics, foreign affairs & overreacting to stuff we'll all have forgotten about in a week.
In a bar that has a mid-century school PE bench repurposed as a shelf and I hate everything about it

The Chesterfield style swivel desk chair I've sat in for over 15 years is starting to fall apart and, maybe it's just the time of year and this perpetual bloody darkness, but I'm taking it as a yet unspecified metaphor.

Looking forward to the pass-agg email in about 2 months time about how these newsletters take a huge amount of time to put together (on top of an already busy full time job!) and if you appreciate them please support by subscribing for access to the monthly AMA and bonus Toolmakers Tips section...
Keir Starmer doing an email newsletter is a good idea, but the execution needs a complete overhaul:
Politics that makes a difference
Over half a million children, lifted out of poverty

Rather than words comes the thought of high windows:
The sun-comprehending glass,
And beyond it, the deep blue air, that shows
Nothing, and is nowhere, and is endless.
Which lines of poetry live rent-free in your head?

Is "a European solution" a euphemism for the guillotine?

god the YouTube 2025 recap is brutal

Someone openly fantasising about murdering their fellow citizens and it's not even the craziest US politics post you've seen this week.
that's cool, man, but have you tried the taste of a refreshing matcha latte

I mean I'd probably watch everything in the Rick Cinematic Universe
Netflix, which rarely carries a single movie from before 1980, wants you to know how thrilled they are to acquire that classic piece of franchise IP, Casablanca

I'm sure multi-billionaire, media owner Elon Musk's enthusiasm for abolishing concentrated forms of power and returning sovereignty to the people has some fairly hard borders.

In a pub that has TNT sports on a gigantic TV and wondering exactly why the decision was made to have the presenters stand around a glass table next to the actual pitch rather than have them sat in a studio. Lighting it must be a right pain.

I'm going to be honest: throwing custard at the crown jewels is probably the worst possible way to try and bring about citizens' assemblies. How was it ever going to work?

I find the videos Politics Joe makes where it just asks people attending a conference or a political event a very open question like "How do you think it's going?" and lets them say whatever they want very informative. It's something the BBC politics team should do if only for social history reasons

Searching for Liz Truss on YouTube to see her new show and a whole bunch of other UK RW shows appear -Harry Cole, Dan Wootton - all with miniscule viewing figures as does Truss herself with only 8,500 views. For a show that was previewed and reviewed in the papers that's utterly pathetic

Pocket Casts informs me, with a serious face, that this year I spent 51,307 minutes listening to podcasts.

Suddenly clicked why the inscription on the side of the trophy reads "ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthugha Fomalhaut n'gha-ghaa naf'lthagn"

Something I've been pondering recently in regards to a supposed AI roll-out is Nicolas Hayek's response to the quartz crisis. He discovered that despite quartz being a cheaper and more accurate technology, people were willing to pay a premium for something they felt had integrity, a soul(?)

I'd watch an Armando Iannucci film based around the committee charged with deciding who to award the inaugural FIFA peace prize to.

I've used the WBD screener app lots before and if Netflix just takes that and sticks everything on it on their site they will have the best streaming site that has existed so far.

I never watch the World Cup because I find football incredibly boring but excited to discover that I can now turn my lack of interest into a more conversationally exciting boycott born of strong moral and political principles *fist salute*

Wins peace prize Friday, invades Venezuela Tuesday.

Labour fundraising on Farage's racism.
December 5, 2025 at 11:22 AM
Said it before but Farage"s mistake was the decision to present himself as PM in waiting. When scandal happened in the past he'd submarine for 6 months and then reappear on a Kent beach and change the conversation. He can't do that with these absurd weekly press conferences.
