Too ☭ for 🏴, & too 🏴 for ☭. bad treat maker. nice. italianx (as a bit). they/he. cat dad. rose mom. parent. 2nd worst jazz pianist in my house. best loser.
@jay_wwfc07 The fact that Starmer, in all of his centrist glory, got the target is proof that it doesn't matter how left they go, there's no appeasing the monster.
Stop playing the Chamberlain card every time and expecting it to go differently.
@jay_wwfc07 Starmer is bad, but 100% not for the reason Garbage and Robinson have said. It's been the pattern for decades for tories and the conservatives in labour to throw anyone doing anything good for people in front of a reason.
FIFA rejecting Haiti’s jersey’s for being “too political” while allowing Israel to play, & the US to host World Cup (while denying visas, restricting entrance, banning Iranian players from staying in country) is a selective, targeted invocation of their “neutrality” policies.
This is great, but it's also worth noting that someone who is 63 today was in their early 30s during peak electronica (1995-97) and time goes by much faster than you think it does.
@TheAngloJaxon@molineuxmusings You're pointing the fingers at the wrong people. Don't shill for the modern day Earls of Dudley. Things got better because people fought for it together, and unionised for better labour conditions. Things are worse bc your wedge is being extracted by the wealthy more than ever.
@EHPlimsoll1 @Warbreaker_VZ@DKThomp Except that the supply is owned by landlords and not the people, thus facilitating a power dynamic that leads to one party controlling how much supply gets built to protect their profits.
The Haymarket memorial is a smallish statue on the side of a busy street that didn't go up until 2004 but the plaques on it from all over the world kinda fucked me up. The rest of the world genuinely cares about it more than anyone around here.
Obviously this never happened. My mom was a FA for years, the only time it'd happen like this is:
a) there were extra seats in first AND
b) you were offered significant compensation to make the switch to economy
I love stories like this which are just there to shame folks.
