I am a forest, and a night of dark trees: but he who is not afraid of my darkness, will find banks full of roses under my cypresses.

Look at them all, grinning as they parachute in a bloke who has tried and failed to be Labour leader twice, who won a manufactured by-election and will now become PM unopposed so he can avoid all scrutiny of what he actually stands for. Risible.

Keir Starmer's successor, whoever that will be, will fail just like he did.

The United Kingdom is ungovernable at this point because the elected government no longer controls the state apparatus. The unholy blob that Tony Blair constructed runs everything, and they answer to no one. Starmer himself literally said that he pulls a lever and nothing happens. His replacement will find those levers still do nothing.

Without a massive purge of the NGOs, the Quangos, the courts, the civil service, and the administrative state, changing Prime Ministers will do about as much good as swapping out a kid's steering-wheel toy in a car that's hurdling off a cliff.

When I've taught the Iliad, I give the students context by explaining to them that it's all a metaphor for Vietnam.

@SeedOilDsrspctr Why does it look like a tailless armadillo

Zero trust society and we know exactly why this is.

I want to live in a place where we don’t need to enforce massive barriers to pay for something. Is that so much to ask?

We have accepted slop.

In the days of horse-drawn carriages, horses’ hooves often DASHED mud onto passengers in wet weather.

To block the mud, people installed wooden BOARDS up front.

They called them ‘dashboards.’

@lefineder @whyvert Did the Tragedy meet a tragic end or comedic end?

[Sam Ashworth-Hayes @SAshworthHayes]

Sharing footage is divisive. Asking why it's happening is divisive. Asking what we can do to stop it is divisive.

You wouldn't want to be divisive, would you?

[Taz @ItsTaz1989]

I must admit, I find vaping entirely dystopian. Tobacco, for all its harms, still has some residual Old World glamour attached to it, a pretence of naturalism & the theatre of smoke & fire. Vaping feels like the intrusion of cold consumer electronics on even our most rustic vices

[Gibbon M. Dick @Carribako]

@ProudBavaria It became a derogatory term, but the first Luddites, the cotton weavers, were actually highly skilled tradespeople, and all lost their jobs and had to work for a pittance afterwards. Sure, progress, but all their jobs did get replaced. So they were, as a matter of fact, correct.

There’s nothing like building the speced out gaming PC you’ve wanted since you were 14 to then immediately be hit with genuine apathy towards it.

I miss Coke Life. It was probably their nicest Coke to date.

Please I’m begging you people. Stop putting stevia in drinks. Just use cane sugar.

Some worry about microplastics in their food. I worry about the macroplastics.

“We will have a crash, I just can't tell you when, and I can't tell you how deep. But I can assure you, unfortunately, I wish I wasn't saying this, we will have a crash,” Andrew Ross Sorkin has said.
