    I grew up in the neoliberal political consensus & all I got was rising fascism, a dying planet, dysfunctional 4th estate, & broken economy.😱

    Weird that we have a Labour party funded by union members paying their dues where you have MPs being told not to vocally support striking workers but where you will be expelled if you don't express "unshakeable support" for NATO & disown anyone already expelled (on any grounds).

  3. It does rather turn out that if you massively cut teacher training provision, and call those who provide it Marxist reactionaries, eventually you get fewer teachers. Who could have seen that coming?

    This used to be me (well, depending how the game technically implements that slider) & now I've moved to an OLED, I will never be this person again. OLED: technologically a slightly better solution but also something that could ruin you as a person (due to quirks of the tech).

    The NYT really should just open up a UK investigations unit, have them pick any half-juicy story from any day’s newspapers of the last fifteen years, and just start poking it to see what happens. The odds of hitting some incredible multi-organisation horrors must be sky high.

    In social service program design you’re endlessly lectured about needs assessment and problem analysis but the fact is the big funders will rain money upon you if you can point to a problem that’s primarily used to justify increased policing + border enforcement

    Sullivan really thinks that he can team up with the fascist, anti-LGBTQ right to attack people he doesn't like (trans people), and that the anti-LGBTQ right won't eventually target the Very Respectable Gays.

    I think it must be an awful thing to be so absolutely terrified of the world, to live - or claim to live - in a state of such fragility that you fear the slightest tremor, the tiniest contact with something strange or new might warp you forever.

    The idea that people are choking for strikes so they can vote Tory in vengeance strikes me as especially galactic brained even by this guy’s standards.

    As someone without a car & traditionally primarily able to travel long distance via rail, full solidarity with striking workers demanding real-terms wage stability, secure employment, & fair contracts. It's the private shareholders & executives who are the profiteers here.

    In 2016, North Carolina's Republican Governor Pat McCrory ran on his explicitly anti-trans law. His Democratic opponent, Roy Cooper, ran on repealing the anti-trans law. Roy Cooper won the state. Hillary Clinton... hmm... yeah, she didn't.

    The Labour Party was founded by the trade unions and we expect Labour MPs to defend workers, by words and by actions. To instruct Labour MPs not to be on picket lines with workers speaks volumes. 1/2

    I guess I just don't have any time for takes diagnosing feminism's ills which don't include responding to the genocidal attacks on trans women and girls and to the rise in violence against queer women.

    Keep seeing the rail strike referred to as the "biggest since 1989". '89 is critical year for industrial relations in UK: before that date, total strike days taken in any year never went below 1.5m a year, since the end of WW2. After that date, strike days never went above it.

    The overarching question is “What the fuck has been happening in this country during the last fifteen years or so” and the answer is “Lots of public figures in positions of responsibility behaving absolutely horrendously, then furiously defending each other when questions arise”.

    Political reporting is a very serious task, indeed a cornerstone of our democracy and ought to be valued more.

    Remember, people like Tim say “populist” because they want to lump together the left and the right, and because they can’t describe what’s happening on their own side without using words like “far right”and “fascism”, which they do understand and approve of.

    That sure looks "inflation-busting" to me... So why isn't demanding restraint from landlords?

    Again, I think Mason just spotted a lucrative growth market he was well-placed to profit from. This shit - treason-identification and point-screeching at traitors - has been ludicrously vicious and overt for years, but I expect that’s going to be tame compared to what’s coming.

    There are two ways out of this: a) admit it and undertake major reform to restore trust or b) strap on a blindfold and put the foot to the floor. The bad news: this was also the choice in the late 2010s, and all these people hammered “b)” like they were playing Hungry Hippos.
