Absolutely fascinating seeing Labour politicians looking at Mamdani's win and then publicly pretending that they a) are happy he won instead of the corrupt, abusive centrist b) have anything at all in common with him

It’s truly tragic how many of these US war criminals like Cheney never face justice and die in their peacefully in their homes in their 80s and 90s. I want to be happy he is dead but I am not. The million people he killed didnt get the luxury to die how he did.

Good morning autistic comrades

Before you blame yourself for being “too sensitive”, ask what you’re being asked to tolerate.

Not everything that overwhelms you needs fixing.

Some things need leaving behind.

This from X is a striking example of what I argue in today’s column. Reform and the Tories are out here gleefully saying disabled people on Motability should be forced to drive a 3-wheeler, like a scarlet letter. The stigma is not an accident - it’s the design.

A tweet that says: Just got Reform to commit to a serious crackdown on Motability as part of their reforms to PIP.

Lee Anderson says he’d be keen to see anyone with a Motability car forced to drive a ‘blue three wheeler’

Every time a journalist asks someone to comment on this they help shift it from being totally unthinkable to being a live controversy. Then, it will be a legal debate with two legitimate schools of thought. Then it will happen.

so strange that the Green Party are simultaneously much too small to be an effective political force and a big enough threat to Labour that voting for them makes you an evil wrecker who is personally responsible for Lord Protector Nigel Farage.

On the question of why everyone hates the current PM, here: this feels exactly right to me. And straight up, I do not feel like any replacement leader who would be tolerated by the press could do better than this. Possibly worse, if anything.

But the personal animus that he himselt attracts, that | encounter whenever | travel the country, I don't really understand how people have such strong feelings about a person who has so little presence TBH.

From the perspective of having a very left wing friendship group but also being in the England travelling supporters club, I think what unites right and left is the sense that he's totally dishonest.
In particular, the right don't buy that he likes his country and actually cares about immigration

TLDR; he's a left-coded politician with his most salient policies being right-wing, and instead of having the best of both worlds, everyone thinks he's a disingenuous wanker

If you're going to volunteer at a food bank because of the current times, please consider wearing a mask when helping distributing food. Even if they're not wearing a mask themselves, poor people have enough to deal with right now, getting an infectious disease just adds to the burden.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
