Apropos of nothing, I've just opened a brie that is so ripe it started to liquify the moment it left its wrapper. Excited.
This is absolutely extraordinary. It's hard to know where to start. The utter tone-deafness? The scorn towards local government? The high-handed dismissiveness towards people affected by racism and antisemitism? Badenoch is an X-brained crackpot.

Religious Americans are so funny. "Violating Leviticus"???
The Halfway Post@halfwaypost.bsky.social · 2d agoBREAKING: A brand new “Christian men’s gym” in Georgia that bans women so pious men can have “lust-free workouts” lasted just 6 days before three men were caught “violating Leviticus in the locker room.”
The right mock the concept of privilege (because it suits them to believe that it doesn't exist) but this kind of stuff is a perfect example of how it works. Being 'provocative', 'pouring petrol' etc: that stuff only ever really happens from the reactionary right. 1

Try and live your life in such away that the whole social media ecosystem doesn't require vigorous tone-policing when you die.

If you watch anything on #Moroccans coming to #Ceuta, make it this report. CBS News have interviewed some of them & they confirm that social media posts on Facebook & Instagram told them Spain had opened its borders. They're playing with people's hopes & lives. It's awful. We must combat fake news.
Well yes Nigel. Because you're the sketchiest motherfucker in politics. Thanks for confirming.

The Clash were the world's luckiest pub band. In fact apart from some (not all) Pistols and the utterly perfect New Rose, most first wave punk is terrible. It starts getting good in 1978.
