Gordon: Divine Snark-lein

Snarky critical theorist. Philosophy music, literature, dogs, Arsenal and Sussex not nec in that order. Retired and still too busy.

Enzo Fernandez probably got a clean sweep of these. Looking forward to the explanations from the usual suspects telling us he was merely going for a gentle stroll through the Man Utd box and wasn’t even aware there was a football match going on.

It’s neck and neck between City and Arsenal. Only they’ve had an offside goal wrongly awarded - by VAR rerefereeing. We’ve had: 1 penalty wrongly denied (by ref and VAR); and one wrongly awarded against us, by ref and (VAR). If it stays like this City will prob win the league. #pgmol #arsenal

As a neutral observer there were two reasons that City goal was offside. Dorgu did not ‘play’ the ball. Fernandez did, even though he missed it. City not only have a petrostate on their side, but PGMOL. The laws that apply to other teams don’t apply to them! #arseblog

Our dog Milo accidentally shit in our fish pond. 48 hours later all our 20 odd fish were dead. The foxes chewed threw the bubbler. Very upsetting. It’s also a microcosm of what we are doing to our world. Only we can’t start again with Planet Earth!

Plus, you know, their superpowered glorified spell checkers are already destroying the planet with additional unnecessary energy and water consumption. We don't need the AGI to magically wake up for the damage to be done.

I do not believe that these guys are about to summon a world-ending superconsciousness from Nvidia graphics cards. But they either believe they can or want me to believe they believe they can. So I think "fuck them" is the only rational response

Two more sleeps before Matt Shea for Channel 4 dispatches blows the lid on Tommy Ten Names. Don't forget to tune in to Channel 4 Wednesday night at 10pm. We will share any external links we get for those who cannot view the channel in their country Stock up on the 🍿folks.

There's an argument for calling them masked thugs, because that is factually true. There's an argument for calling them pathetic cosplaying loser incels, also true, and laughing at them damages their tough-guy self image and hurts recruitment. There is no argument for calling them protesters.

Anyone who believes NF’s kettle logic, “we did not commission a poll” & “I wasn’t listening to the conversation,” is as credulous as this who think the 5M from Harbourne was a gift. That clause in the ministerial code is supposed to exempt birthday presents etc from having to be declared. #Liar

“Farage is a ‘spectre’ impeding the UK’s recovery from Brexit, which has cost the UK £3,000 per person government was doing the right thing by seeking closer tries to the EU but…Farage…remains a “spectre” still impeding the UK’s economic recovery.” www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Billions lost to Brexit could make NHS waiting lists disappear, top economist says

Exclusive: Nigel Farage is a ‘spectre’ impeding the UK’s recovery from Brexit, which has cost the UK £3,000 per person every year, Professor Nick Bloom says

So in one week: 1) Reform get stung for dodgy finances, and the regulators play pass the parcel about enforcement 2) Farage announces plans to largely dismantle independent scrutiny of govt, and barely any press discussion of it 3) Masked thugs blockade a port, with narry a word from senior govt

Rick Edwards allowed Richard Tice to make a fool of him on R5 this morning Tice has ‘done his reading’ and knows that man made climate change is not a problem, but something we can happily adapt to. Net Zero is ‘stupid’. And the bond markets are up because PM is a moron. Edwards let all this pass!

Don't buy any Arsenal merchandise baring the deel logo. Deel is an international HR and payroll company co-founded by Israeli billionaire and Zionist Alex Bouaziz. Bouaziz is a high-profile supporter of Israel's genocide of Gaza. Shame on Arsenal and their blood money sponsorship.
