It's the Brent Cross fiasco all bloody over again.

Tech workers are the modern "temporarily embarrassed millionaire", seduced into complacency by historic high wages, and so indoctrinated against any thoughts of unionism, organised labour, or political radicalism - all the while not seeing the billionaire slave-owner class is feasting on them too.

Well for starters I wouldn't produce a video claiming this country is somehow better than all others in the world on the basis of some pop and sports stars.

Fucking hell.

Don't you find it hard doing all your art in the terminal?

@alastaircampbell2.bsky.social by any chance were you walking near Mornington Crescent around lunchtime today? I could swear it was you but was too shy to stop you and ask, or else I'd have told you I'm a fan of yours and asked to shake your hand (which admittedly, may have been weird for you)!

The racession.

The problem is, still, as always, that the left will tie itself in knots to avoid offending the right whilst the right will casually dehumanise and call for the extermination of the left.

There are no saints, and thus there should be no hagiographies.

Mr Kirby @diakirby.bsky.social · 26d

This is a suicidal political position as soon as your opponent starts to advocate for violence against you.

The square you must circle is that intolerance must not be tolerated.

If I start publicly dehumanising some class you belong to, you MUST oppose my right to political speech by any means.

Wow I'm surprised he can even feed that many lions.

Please convince Trump of this and get the Internet finally shut down.

Mr Kirby @diakirby.bsky.social · 26d

There's two types of people left: resigned and sarcastic or horrified and earnest.

Mr Kirby @diakirby.bsky.social · 26d

What I don't understand is why they won't let us just enjoy the moment without bringing politics into everything 😔

Mr Kirby @diakirby.bsky.social · 27d

The strategy is to constantly take steps to the right whilst abusing media control to paint the left as unwilling to compromise and meet in the middle.

It's the frog boiling metaphor writ large.

Quote-posting for all the people who think AI slop is somehow transcendental (yes, I know, wasting my time, they're all true believers prostrating themselves before a hypothetical singularity)

Just one more model, bro, I swear, it will fix everything.

Grok says that videos of Charlie Kirk being shot are memes and that he's actually fine

Oh no, keyboard warrior incels are doing a big chat on the Internet.

Mr Kirby @diakirby.bsky.social · 28d

Just wake up.

Some things this guy you wish was still alive said:

Mr Kirby @diakirby.bsky.social · 28d

Wtf is wrong with you people, He and his ilk are continually and constantly advocating for the destruction of democracy and tolerance. You can be glad without being guilty.

Take the win when fate hands it to you.

NEWS JUST IN.

Just no

You're allowed to enjoy a little political violence. As a treat.

The uncomfortable realisation that Nazi-collaborating traitor Edward VIII was a *trendsetter*.

Oh and it's mostly middle aged men looking for prey to get their rocks off.

More men are returning to the office. Here's why that matters for women.

According to the Department of Labor, men are returning to the office in greater numbers than women. That could become an obstacle for gender equity.

Hurting and dividing the working class is the purpose. You are looking for honest intentions and they don't have them - just control, exploitation, and debasement.

Mr Kirby @diakirby.bsky.social · 29d

The sheer fucking audacity given the parasite class invented/appropriated the bloody concept of time in the first place.

If staff can work from home during a strike or pandemic or random weekday they might question why they're forced into work under normal circumstances and our London commercial property investments will collapsed.
