Predictions for coming year

- Gold, BTC prices continue to rise
- Defaults on credit cards, utility bills continue to increase
- Labour, BoE forced to "make difficult decisions" (cuts, tank int rates, QE?, run on Bonds?)
- Tabloids will pretend this is incompetence
- Farage + Tories gain popularity

At some point soon Meta and Alphabet will start lobbying to allow AI bots the ability to watch AI content and for that traffic to somehow contribute to their engagement

The real human engagement will be hidden.

Because that’s the only way they’ll be able continue “growth”

“We’ve reached a turning point” claims Kemi at Tory Conference after:

Lying that N.Ireland voted Brexit
Jenrick complained of not enough white faces
Spelling mistake on Tory merch
Stumbled in a Sky interview, didn’t have figures for Nick Ferrari

Which way were they “turning”? *INTO* the iceberg?

Fatherhood rendered me friendless🤘🤣

The pandemic and its Zoom Quiz Nights gave me an inkling of what parasocial relationships/shed-boozing might be like.

It may feel tragic but I’m saving my old friends from having to listen to me drunk-rant at them I suppose? 🤷‍♂️

While she is undoubtedly a very attractive woman who reminds me a lot of a former flame…

The truth is I don’t care about wrestling. People I know and love find it fun. But I think I dislike it more than I love beautiful women? I dunno? 🤣

Kuy is right. This time will be split into Parliaments, Recesses etc, it will fly by.

And the entire time Starmer is sat “Bidening” his time, expending the ability he temporarily has to regulate press, social media and fix all this.

We are on course to a Trump style Reform Govt.

Kuy Von Braun II @kuyvonbraun.bsky.social · 22h

Labour’s agenda is akin to repeatedly putting your hand into a fire. Starmer-stans insist it’s ok to keep doing that because there’s 3/4 years to go…
…
…they are very smart 🤪

Jenrick is going for the “push harder because I’m willing to say horrible things and take tough decisions where others aren’t”

But he will either fail to get them elected (likely) or get them elected and fail (less likely). They have no solutions.

My thoughts on the news that Suella Braverman wants to abolish the Supreme Court and repeal the Equality Act.

Wild that Farage’s best mate is a Russian asset, we still don’t know who paid for Nige’s house AND he can’t bring himself to say anything critical of Putin

But the biggest story of corruption the Sun & Mail can muster is “should Rayner have a nice car?”

It helps to be able to spell the country you say only you are competent enough to run.

Goody-bag merch from Tory Conference branded "When Labour negotiates Britian loses" and signed "Kemi Badenoch".

Is there anything nicer than randomly meeting people/making friends and they're also progressive/nice/sane?

Yep. "Do-Gooder" is in that category also, isnt it? As though doing good is some inherantly bad thing. "Look at you trying to do a GOOD thing".
I'm like "Yeah, because its better and harder to do than sit there giving up, doing/saying bad things your whole life."

They're just so pathetic.

"We're going to drill baby drill TOO!"
"We'll get rid of the UK's DEI!"
"We need a UK DOGE!"

Anything their hero Donny says/does is what the plastic patriots will repeat like speaking-in-tongues, possessed ghouls.
