Look what has arrived! I got my copies on my book - it is now very real and also very surreal!
The book comes out in the UK on February 7 and will be in stores in Australia on May 16.
See online ordering options in the next week.

Labor voters will be frankly shocked that Victorian Labor would prefer to elect a right-wing Liberal-One Nation Government, rather than elect a local, progressive Greens woman in Prahran.

Democrats winning big and then immediately showing everyone that they’re still spineless losers who fail on purpose

[The Empire Files @EmpireFiles]

Dems won big because of opposition to the Iran War then immediately fail when handed an opportunity to deliver on that issue.

Hakeem Jeffries is so useless he can't even whip his members to turn up to vote on a key issue. If this is what the next two years will look like it is going to be very frustrating.

BREAKING: Thomas Massie’s resolution to impeach Pete Hegseth fails in the House 211-204, after 11 Democrats failed to show up for the vote.

If those 11 Democrats had showed up, Hegseth would have been impeached 215-211.

הלילה, במהלך פעילות מבצעית יזומה של כוחות צה"ל לסיכול זריקות אבנים ואירועי טרור בפאתי הכפר בורקא שבחטיבת שומרון, זיהו הכוחות מספר מחבלים שהתכוונו לזרוק אבנים לעבר כביש מהיר בו נוסעים רכבים ישראלים. זאת, במרחב בו יידו אבנים לעבר רכבים ישראלים בעת האחרונה.

הכוחות הגיבו בירי לעברם להסרת סכנה, זוהו פגיעות

So we seem ok for Smith to lose the captaincy, Bancroft's career to be ruined, and make Warner public enemy number one

Meanwhile the others throw their team mates under a bus, sit in a change room claiming they didn't know to save themselves

Now Uzzie is the bad guy?🤣

My god they think the suffering of people in Gaza is just a set up for a joke.

Jack, did you pay any attention to the campaign? Abdul El-Sayed said a gazillion times he was running on Medicare for All, getting money out of politics, and addressing the affordability crisis.

#637 Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith (1960)

This was pretty different, but in a great way. Smith took the organ and mixed it with bebop, blues and gospel to create a new sound - coined as soul jazz. It is quite groovy, but also grounded, which I liked a lot.

7.5/10

[Simon Copland 🍉🍉 @SimonCopland]

#380 Blood, Sweat, And Tears by Blood, Sweat, And Tears (1969)

An album that fuses fiery blues-rock with jazz, there are some great moments in the album. But also some of it is a little bit much. The album was a huge success, but it didn't last for the band. 7/10

[Simon Copland 🍉🍉 @SimonCopland]

#636 The Real Thing by Faith No More (1989)

I enjoyed this a lot more than I was expecting. It is heavy, yet singable, huge guitar riffs, but also sounds like a symphony. Epic is an incredible song and there are plenty of other good ones as well.

8.5/10

Keeping Jeffries and Schumer would be the perfect way to ensure all the goodwill from yesterday's wins is slowly destroyed over the next two years. Democrats need to do better.

[Deep Singh Badhesha @DeepNotShallow]

Pretty hilarious for Democrats to have the craziest and biggest progressive night in decades only to anoint Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer.

I hope Democrats look around and realize they owe Hakeem and Chuck nothing for these wins. Choose bolder leadership.

🚨BREAKING🚨

Democrat Gino Hinojosa has defeated Incumbent Republican Greg Abbott in the Texas Governor Election.

This is a flip from 🔴 to 🔵.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

The NYT needle has a greater than 95% chance now that Darline Graham will lose the Senate seat in deeply red South Carolina.

Let this be a huge blow against the idea that political seats are like inherited titles that aristocratically transfer upon death to one's closest kin.

[Secular Talk ([email protected]) @KyleKulinski]

Florida is the absolute epicenter of MAGA and a democratic socialist nearly pulled off one of the biggest upsets in political history. What a tremendous campaign from Angie Nixon.

[Jacobin @jacobin]

The DSCC placed a multimillion dollar ad buy for Debbie Mucarsel-Powell in her 13-point loss.

Chuck Schumer personally sent a $1 million infusion to Val Demmings in her 16-point loss.

DSA member Angie Nixon got no such support.

in 2007 boy george handcuffed a sex worker to a wall and beat him with a chain. the man, named audun carlson, eventually broke free and ran into the street naked crying for help. he’s said he was in therapy for eight years and still won’t meet new people bc he gets too anxious

[Simon Copland 🍉🍉 @SimonCopland]

None of this makes any sense.
