I think Centrists are more taken in by propaganda than any other group. They have no values, morals or political beliefs at all so are easily swayed by saying whatever they think can make them look smart and reasonable as a soundbite.

Centrists like the idea of leftwing party that simply doesn't do very much or meaningfully challenge the status quo. They think the left wing should be something that sits on the sidelines and is polite to those oppressive forces that wield power.
The BBC wants to be a 21st century "Hutu Power Radio" but focused on trans people.
Tron just playing whatever colours it wants now. Nice colourless deck I guess. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AX1T...

A classic day of recording MTG games, a lovely 5-0 and a miserable 0-5 :D
Burnham is just making noises to sound like he's doing things people want whilst not actually doing them. "More public control" is not the same as "public ownership". "Closer relationship with the EU" is the exact thing Starmer said with no intention of rejoining. It's just all spin.
Centrists really only hear tone. It's why they consider a left-winger criticizing them for being bigoted as the same as a right-winger criticizing them for not being bigoted enough. Then they yell something about horse shoes.
Why are the echo-verse versions of dinosaurs completely different species? I didn't see Liliana being a cat person or Chandra being a Loxodon.
Another major Premodern tournament with Stiflenought in the finals eh?
I honestly don't have the time and energy to speculate over what internal changes the Green party are making. I'll just wait to see how it turns out then pass judgment.
Someone on Facebook got very touchy when I said that LLM AI is basically a scam and that it relies on theft and doesn't have accuracy as a core part of how it works. Apparently it's just like any other "tool". However they agreed that there is an impending economic crash due to AI...

Jewish people in the middle east have a right to live peacefully and safely. A genocidal ethnonationalist state with ethnic cleansing and supremacism as core principles does not have a right to exist.
Centrists believe that living standards worsening is a fine and inevitable thing that has to happen.
Whilst this is obviously horrific, at least it might stop the Americans doing "other people's food is bad" discourse on social media.
Our long national nightmare of minimizing toxic chemicals in our food is finally over. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
I don’t know if anyone remembers former Labour councillor, change UK defector, and regular Twitter main character Frances Weetman, or her creepy reply guy, occasional Twitter main character and arch-transphobe Alex ‘Rubie’ Rubner but they’ve just had a massive falling out over race science. part 1/2
So they've tried to make a fixed version of The One Ring that you can Dark Ritual into play on turn 1. Feels like I'm going to be seeing this card a lot and having people drawing six cards from it by turn 3, to then sacrificing it to Beseech the Mirror to win the game. Such snowball, much wow.
"Yeah, but the Greens vote share was mostly just absorbing the independents from last time, they aren't growing." Even if you take that into account, the Greens vote share still grew on top of that by a percentage pretty similar to the amount Labour saw their vote share decrease.
It's amazing how much of the discourse among the media and political spheres in the UK can be understood when you realize they ascribe to a hierarchy of races.
"The contrast between the utterly sycophantic coverage of Badenoch ... and the utterly dismissive coverage of Polanski, who has significantly improved his party’s standing over the past year, tells you everything you need to know about media bias in the UK" www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/why-the-ho...
Why the Holborn and St Pancras By-Election Was a Good Result for the Green Party
The dismissive coverage of Zack Polanski’s party obscures a far bigger truth about the rise of the left in British politics

You can tell the only decent journalists going by looking at whose been banned from right wing party conferences. The fact that Bienkov is the only one reporting the by election data accurately whilst also not being welcome at the Tory conference shows a lot of how the ecosystem works.
I see the FBPE losers are creating fake scenarios in their heads where they can gleefully sacrifice trans people in order to rejoin the EU.
This world shall never know peace until the last Capitalist is crushed into the dirt.
This Labour parliament is going to be the biggest drop in living standards and the biggest drop in human rights since the Human Right Act was passed. Yet the sensibles think this is the way.
Fucking hell. They are doing another Marvel MTG set.
New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854
People calling Polanski to resign are absolute clowns who want to actively sabotage the only left wing option we have in England.

If we just deleted Modern Horizons 3 from existence, Magic would be a significantly better game. I think the other MH sets are fine, but MH3 in genuinely one of the worst sets ever made, just a bin fire of horrific designs and mistakes.
