So I'm looking forward to my next open mic night...it's meant to be a festive edition. I was told by the organiser to write a Christmas joke...
But all I've done is written a bunch of Dick Chaney is dead jokes 🫣

So last night was a great success. Got a few laughs at the neo-liberal Trojan horse propaganda that is Paw Patrol.
Today, I’ve been researching the curriculum for next months lecture....er I mean routine.
I’ve written jokes about how Doctor Who has gone woke... since 1963.

Well tonight is the open mic night.
I have no actual talent so it will be an attempt at standup comedy.
The good people of the local community centre will receive a lecture on the fascist undercurrents of Paw Patrol.
Pray for me. Or pray for the audience.

Seen the MacDougall's winter wonderland show. Really good! Worth a watch on YouTube if you're interested in Scottish Panto and need to occupy a toddler for 45 minute

I'm betting that it goes so badly that Sir Kid Starver will be out of no.10 by the middle of January
Rachel Reeves' budget is bound to be a failure.
At every juncture so far, Labour have refused to properly address:
- supermarket & energy company price gouging & profiteering
- parasitic privatisation of public services (e.g. Thames Water)
So how can it be anything other than a disaster?

It just seems like DC is a big f*cking pedophile ring and the media knew and covered it up for years!
Megyn Kelly (MAGA broadcaster). “I have been told, by someone in the know, that Epstein was not a pedophile. He liked 15 year olds”.
😮
Yes, MAGAts are now tying themselves in knots trying to defend Trump by trying to defend convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. 🤮

#RadicalReels Peterloo (2018)
A powerful drama of the 1819 Manchester massacre. Peaceful protesters, 60,000 strong, demanded suffrage and workers’ rights, and were violently attacked by the yeomanry. Great cinematography and strong acting from Rory Kinnear and others.

Over Halloween, I started diving into some classic Hammer Horror movies. I’ve always loved Peter Cushing in Doctor Who and the Daleks, so it was amazing to see him in some of his most iconic roles.
Now that Halloween’s passed, I’ve stuck on The Hound of the Baskervilles.

Been digging into some family history and uncovered a shocking truth!
My great-great grandad was a communist 😨
Turns out he stood in council elections for the CPGB, and was even the AEU’s secretary for Scotland. AEU later became Unite
Just picked up this 1920s AEU badge to honour the old comrade

When they say that socialism "doesn't work because people are selfish" I always ask them what happens when working class people are collectively selfish.
As a selfish working class person, I don't give a shit about "creating shareholder value" when I don't own the shares!

Some guy told me today that socialism inevitably leads to communism… because it’s in human nature 🤣
As if that’s a bad thing. Funny though, usually they say greed and exploitation are human nature 🙄

Been thinking about writing an essay/guide on 'combative careers advice.'
As a qualified careers adviser, I’ve watched guidance become a tool for managing workers through crisis not helping them resist it.
What would class-conscious, anti-capitalist careers advice look like though...

This is a cool front page.... I just wish Mamdani was as radical as they make him out to be 😅
What's wrong with a city that's affordable for regular people?
Also I can definitely see a third red scare happening over the next few years.

It really can’t be said enough: Zohran Mamdani overcame huge odds.
He defeated a political dynasty, backed by numerous lobbies and 26 billionaires, and ran against a candidate with establishment support from both parties.
Yet he still pulled off a historic win.

Never forget.
These sociopathic Israelis were rioting for #IDF soldier's "right to r@pe" Palestinian prisoners.
They were outraged NOT that the soldiers committed rape, but because the perpetrators were (briefly) detained.

They say never speak ill of the dead, but the dead can’t hear you, and the living deserve the truth.
Dick Cheney’s “patriotism” meant war crimes, torture, and a world set on fire for profit, a true friend who’d shoot you in the face with a shotgun.
