@Warcraft So so excited for Forever, thank you guys!

Are you recreating all Classic character animations, or only some? In the Beta footage we’ve seen so far, the SD running animations are in but SD chars still stand & emote using the retail rigging.

Hope this is being worked on, ty ❤️

Steve Bray blasting Ode to Joy, ruining nationally historic moments like this for us and posterity, is a complete disgrace. A yob.

On a purely analytical level, there is no criticism of Keir Starmer to which the answer is Wes Streeting.

Is he more charismatic? No.

Is he more forthright in his convictions? No.

Can he connect with voters better? He's never had a real job!

I am a reasonable progressive

I hate this idea that I’m supposedly “fascist” now simply because I think the demographic structure of every Western country shouldn’t be radically altered to the point that the original countries are unrecognisable

I actually really like cultural diversity and learning about other cultures but when my future children visit England one day I want England to still be England

And I want Australia to still be Australia for my grandchildren

Why can’t we just have an amount of cultural diversity within reason

[Aaron Bastani @AaronBastani]

I don’t know how helpful this is.

Migrants have made a massive contribution to Britain (particularly the Irish!) And it’s true that the NHS depends on overseas workers (which isn’t good).

But it’s also true that British people are those who primarily ‘built this country’ >

[RednBlackSalamander @9mmballpoint]

It's very revealing that techbros consider "creativity" to be just another type of artistic tool, like a camera or a paintbrush, and not an intrinsic part of humanity itself.

[The Purple Pimpernel @Eyeswideopen69]

Everywhere this has been tried, productivity has rocketed, workers have been happier, and bosses have been keen to adopt it permanently.

There is no rational argument against shortening the working week.

Which explains why the Victorian pencil is its most vocal opponent.

Labour took on two of the most entitled and catered-to demographics in the country - pensioners and private schools - and the press has been duly mobilised.

[Nick Tyrone @NicholasTyrone]

Green supporters being angry with Carla Denyer for having a completely rational, non-insane response to Biden stepping down as the Democratic candidate tells you a great deal about the culture surrounding the Green Party these days.

[Stephen Daisley @JournoStephen]

The French would burn Paris to the ground if you if you tried to raise the retirement age by five seconds.

The British are opposed to being given a one-off, 24-hour holiday in the middle of summer.

Such a weird country.

[Sam Ashworth-Hayes @SAshworthHayes]

The Conservative party watching on, slack jawed, as it realises you are in fact allowed to use the machinery of government to do things you want and don't have to care if your opponents scream about it.

Now park a few newbuild estates in Tory seats to drive that point home.

[Crémieux @cremieuxrecueil]

I just read an article that proposed summoning Atlantis as a viable alternative to fighting old people for housing reform in Britain.

[Nick Cohen @NickCohen4]

A reader asks a very good question:
"Is anyone trying to calculate the effect of the new requirement for photo ID on the UK low turnout?"

[Political Philosophy Podcast @PolPhilPod]

Center & Left cooperation & coordination beats the far-right

Might be a moral for us here, just saying

[Despotic Inroad @DespoticInroad]

I’m old enough to remember when the Tories banned books getting sent to prisons, and when they privatised the probation service. Now we have a rehabilitation-focused *actual experienced manager/practitioner* in post - not a fucking useless MP doing his “prison works” schtick while the system collapses.

We have a Chancellor who has written pamphlets on Community Wealth and the Foundational/Everyday Economy - not fucking Freeports.

We have a soft-left Housing Sec who wants to strengthen workers rights and build, build, build.

We have an Energy Secretary who believes in green industrial strategy and was calling for nationalised suppliers not long ago.

We’ve got a Business Sec who rhapsodises about Bidenomics and local manufacturing supply chains rather than the wonders of free markets and financial services.

I’m under no illusions about a supposed “New Dawn” - things will change, but incrementally, and slowly.

But all the idiots calling this a “conservative” Labour Party, or “centre-right” administration, or even a “fascist-enabling” one (!), need to take a break, because they’ve clearly had their mind warped by spending too much of the Corbyn years on Ex Dot Com.

[Krishnan Guru-Murthy @krishgm]

It seems to me that the portrayal of the Labour win as shallow because of the vote share is misleading. This was a ‘get the tories out’ election. For different people that generally meant voting Labour, Lib Dem, Green or Reform. But in doing so they all knew they’d get a Labour government and did it deliberately. In reality even Reform voters actually voted for Keir Starmer to be PM.

[Stephen Sutherland @sjsuth]

It took them ONE DAY.

We said, repeatedly, that Labour’s caution on the way to power was necessary to even start actually doing good. What is it about our professional political commentators that prevents them understanding politics?
