Only centrist Democrats would work this hard to snatch a historic defeat from the jaws of victory.

when we moved into our family home 38 years ago, we were the first people to have:
1. Central heating.
2. An indoor toilet.

It is genuinely hard for most people to grasp how poor the past was.

I don't understand: the Republicans don't even need the Democrats for anything. They have majorities everywhere. What's the story here?

An Irishman went for a job interview on a building site. The foreman asked him "Do you know the difference between a joist and a girder?"
The Irishman replied, "Goethe wrote Faust and Joyce wrote Ulysses."

The thing about Helen Andrews that is particularly irritating is that it is only because society is not organized in the way that she wants it to be that anyone knows who she is

Saw Bugonia this evening.
Lanthimos' most tense film to date, but let down by the ending (even though the final montage is 10/10).

Suddenly when puberty blockers are given to cis kids, the Daily Mail (the same newspaper which backed Hitler btw) finally admits that "their effects are not permanent, and once a child lets their blocking treatment lapse, puberty will just continue as normal."

Because it’s cis kids.
The NHS will quite casually give cis kids whatever treatment they need, even PBs👇
No trials. No concerns about side effects. No moral panic.

Every Halloween since 2020, I see people walking around dressed up and I think to myself, there are a lot of people right now who absolutely refused to wear a mask for 15 minutes to save my grandmother's life because of plague, who are drunk dancing in a Michael Myers mask for six consecutive hours

Businesses have noticed this is a leftwing government. Farmers have noticed. The globally mobile rich have noticed. Basically the only people who don’t think this is a leftwing government are the people who want one.
