What bothers me is that impartiality and balance are two different and incompatible things. Impartiality means that you don't intervene to put your thumb on the scales. Balance necessarily requires that you intervene to artificially make every issue look like a 50/50.

No more noble British tradition than resigning over some nonsense everyone is only pretending to be angry about rather than all of the actually bad things you've done.

A favourite variation was one I contrived for @thefence.bsky.social in 2020, re: Jeff Bezos' then wealth of $177bn.
"Iago first said 'Put money in thy purse’ at the premiere of Othello on Nov 1st 1604. You'd only need to put $1.1 million in said purse every single day since to match Bezos’ total".
"Iago first said 'Put money in thy purse’ at the premiere of Othello on Nov 1st 1604. You'd only need to put $1.1 million in said purse every single day since to match Bezos’ total".
Given the Mamdani discourse, I wrote a bit about billionaires. If you were given $100 a day and aimed to have as much wealth as the world’s billionaires, you’d have had to have started about when animals first developed the ability to breathe oxygen.

I see we've reached the point where news organs are putting out deeply harrowing, and incredibly reported, stories like this every single day, without it making even the slightest dent in ChatGPT's constant fellation by all other sections of the press.
WSJ: ChatGPT fueled a 56-year-old tech industry veteran’s paranoia, encouraging his suspicions that his mother was plotting against him.... On Aug. 5, Greenwich police discovered that Soelberg killed his mother and himself in the $2.7 million Dutch colonial-style home where they lived together.
A Troubled Man, His Chatbot and a Murder-Suicide in Old Greenwich
“Erik, you’re not crazy.” ChatGPT fueled a 56-year-old tech industry veteran’s paranoia, encouraging his suspicions that his mother was plotting against him.

I think it's been long enough now that we can admit "Your Highness" was a very good name for a stoner medieval fantasy movie, and we should have acknowledged this at the time.

Hate it when someone finds themselves between, say, two people called Greg, and they describe it as a "Greg sandwich". If you're in the middle then it's a YOU sandwich, on Greg bread. You idiot. You fucking moron.

Since I'm a famed sappy dad, the Observer asked me to interrogate the John Lewis Christmas Ad Industrial Complex. On this oddest of cultural lodestars being stripped to its bare wires; a confusing, crass, and effective bit of emotional weaponry.

I think we fall into the trap of thinking they have to think of their money in percentages, as if it's just our money but in larger amounts. It's not. Jeff Bezos could buy every single player in the premier league, and then buy every single club, and still be richer than the richest man in the UK.

Are none of them attracted to the completely available option of being, say, the one guy who spent 90 billion on tackling climate change, and becoming, forever after, the most beloved man on planet earth, all while still retaining more money than he could spend in a thousand lifetimes?

Maybe I'm a big dumb dingus but I've never understood why, even for purely selfish reasons, none of these mega-billionaires spend the gigantic sums of money they spaff on space shit or AI on world hunger. Surely, even for an amoral cunt, being the guy who did that would trump building some rockets.

we can chalk it up to youth and inexperience but the biggest mistake the mamdani campaign made was winning by 8.8% and not 1.5%, which is the margin needed for the media to say it’s a total mandate
