This week, Shadow Chancellor (stop laughing) Robert Jenrick unveiled our latest sack of mad ideas to a near empty room. If you have a few minutes to spare, you can read all about it in Nigel's Notebook: parodypm.substack.com/p/its-bobby-...

Spiderlight by @aptshadow.bsky.social an enjoyable romp with a group of misfits who set out to fulfill a prophecy and defeat the dark.

But when viewed from the back, we start to see problems. The size of his derrière is causing the back pocket to gape. On a pair of properly tailored trousers, the jets — which is the narrow strip of fabric on the "lips" of the pocket — should come close to touching.

It's Mitch McConnell still alive? Not seen him wheeled out recently.

Enjoyed listening to @susanstryker.bsky.social on @podsavetheuk.crooked.com There's a section where Susan speaks about othering in a thought provoking and mesmerising cadence that just reminded me of re-evolution by The Shamen youtu.be/aausG-L6dqc?...

If it's all Biden's fault then maybe we should get him back in to fix it as these clowns haven't been able to in two years.

hang on, so Bleecker Street was sold to a Pierre Omidyar-backed group that also happens to back Tosca Musk's Passionflix... and now "MUSK" is disappearing from theaters?

Enjoyed Shades of Forever from @chriswarcraft.bsky.social Lots of interesting ideas discussed in an accessible format and if it gets too heavy you can always ask Box to shut up 😉

reading my own book in preparation for tonight’s gig - always intriguing seeing the finished product - the editing process is chaos time in my brain - now I have no choice but to be calm as it is done & it’s cheery to find sentences you like penguinrandomhousehighereducation.com/book/?isbn=9...

Everyone should also add Pi-hole to their setup. You don't even have to actually buy a Raspberry Pi to use it (but doing so gets you a cool little computer that doesn't do Windows, so, win) since it can also run on other OSs. It cuts out ads before they even get to your router! pi-hole.net

Trump: "If the Republicans win, the Department of War will be investing $100 million in the pharmaceutical company Anthea to revitalize a gigantic drug manufacturing facility in Winchester, Kentucky"

In early 2025, I assumed the Trump regime would delete the Department of Justice’s press releases and other statements related to more than 1,000 Jan. 6 cases. So I downloaded them. We’ve now made them available to the public with a search tool. They can’t erase history. jan6memoryproject.org

In awarding this year’s Nobel Peace Prize, the Norwegian Nobel Committee wants to remind the world that the rule of law – national and international – underpins the system we have set up to ensure peace and resolve conflicts non-violently. Peace requires justice.

Finished the second book in the trilogy from @nealasher.bsky.social Another cracking read, excellent characters and plot lines that again mostly finish in this volume. Only another, checks watch, 4 months or so for the sequel 😅

Just finished @nealasher.bsky.social Dark Diamond and thoroughly enjoyed it. A long read with lots of threads coming to a satisfying "end" that reminded me of Peter F. Hamilton's storytelling. Hadn't realised it was a multi-volume novel until the end, so on to the next one!

INGRAHAM: For the last couple months at least, wages have not kept up with the cost of living. How do you convince young people that capitalism works for them, not just the AI crowd? BESSENT: Look Laura, median wages are up about 3.7%... last year we were setting the table, this year is the banquet

2016 was built on ridiculous promises of a future that nobody could disprove. 2025 is built on a disastrous history of consequences that everybody can point to. And Farage is volunteering to own it. Burnham must be giving himself a slow, luxury wank tonight. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Assistant AG for Fraud Colin McDonald: "Apparently 35% of people have never even used their Obamacare account for any health services. That is a statistical impossibility and it's because these are not real people seeking real care. These are fraudsters."

It's almost as if an attempt to suppress certain speech leads to more people being aware of it. Someone should coin a phrase that encapsulates that phenomenon.
