Was out playing records until late last night and got pissed but switched to alcohol free and gluten free beer at about midnight and I feel great even after 3 hours sleep?
Feel like I've cracked a code.

Turns out you CAN tax the rich after all, and all the people who've spent the last few decades telling us it's impossible and/or counterproductive were just straight-up lying.
NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected.
And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*

Wes Streeting looks like Pinocchio if, instead of becoming a real boy, he’d turned into an Assistant Manager at a branch of Currys.

The fact that Larry Summers was so proud of his "tee-hee I said something naughty and got away with it" that he bragged about it to Jeffrey Epstein gives us the synthesis of pedocon theory and everyone-is-twelve theory

Almost right, IMO. The precise explanation is that the twin insults of Brexit and Old Jezza on the one hand, and the extremely fucked situation of the Tory Party on the other, led all the lads to just revoke the standard operating rules and move to a “Fuck it, say and do whatever you want” standard.

i think the most sick thing about govt going all in on Esther's phone shit after her daughter was murdered in a crime which had not nothing to do with phones
... is that I spoke to Brianna's friends. On Tiktok. They were everything to her - you want to take that away from other kids like Brianna?

Do you not think it's bizarre to have strangers on the internet decide they know better than Brianna's own loved ones on what is or isn't insulting to her memory?
I've got no time for Rosie Duffield, but she turned up at a drop-in event in Parliament and that's been the limit of her involvement.

Take a look round social media and you’ll see the Trump fans think it was about the Donald; the terves think it was about gender and Israel partisans think they’ve shattered Hamas. And they’re all correct in a way, because it’s another win for the global fascist movement that they’re all part of.

And for those still going on about drug boat strikes - I wish you’d cared this much about Afghanistan. I don’t love the use of the military to kill drug runners, but it’s no worse than you’ve allowed for three decades. It’s a bit late for moral hazard pearl clutching now.

We strip-mined the future, the rich tearing the whole planet apart, the middle class getting bought off with a house. Now the future is the present and the kids who have to grow up in the ruins are asking: where's my future? And the answer is "fuck you, why are you trying to take my house?"
Yes and the punitive turn in education (silent corridors, isolation booths, 3 strikes systems etc) is a product of the fact society has nothing to offer the young.
There’s literally no carrot so it’s stick all the way down.
