yeah his deep fear of left wing politics manifested in a dictator and a cop as two of his most compelling characters. and Granny Weatherwax is practically a libertarian too frankly.

yes it's just a statement of fact about the power of wealth, makes no moral claim about whether you should be wealthy either way.

lots of people being very wrong about him in the comments as well, the dwarves are categorically not a trans metaphor. sorry you're completely incorrect about that and you can't read. Sergeant Jackrum yes. the dwarves are second wave feminism.

Cheri isn't trans though

I think Terry's liberalism is probably elastic enough the Tories can believe they're involved honestly. The man wasn't a big fan of democracy or the wisdom of crowds.

run by a Mexican (who I assume is Pancho), loads of different fillings, lots of plant based if you incline that way, dozens of fillings, massive portions. proper cafeteria style. maybe the best Mexican food I've ever had in the UK. you'll be back I'm sure.

Jan @janhopis.bsky.social · 16h

if you're in Manchester go to Panchos in the Arndale market. stunning and also they have a load of Mexican chilli sauces to buy.

yeah probably tbh, he's been on a bit of a losing streak of late, thought Poor Things was abject and I've not seen that other one. classic "preferred their early stuff now they're too famous to edit".

but it uses a soul gem! de facto unethical surely. vegans aren't utilitarians.

Jan @janhopis.bsky.social · 22h

seen people say this a bit and I do worry that it's a bit "oh well it's shit but I'm sure those people will like it". not totally convinced they will. will keep an eye on facebook to see if my aunt shares it.

yeah much better more natural and off the cuff, this isn't exactly the "Mamdani Method" if that's what we want now

Are enchanted items vegan? You've have to say not.

To have an enchanter enchant an item for you, bring it to the enchanter, along with a soul gem to power the item.

I watched that Polanski "let's make hope cool again" advert or whatever and I'm afraid to me it had the exact cadence of an advert for the Dog's Trust or something. the earnestness, the soaring strings. does that work on people? maybe? I don't even think he normally sounds like that either.

that's not really true I'd happily talk to the other orgy participants. not about sharepoint though.

Jan @janhopis.bsky.social · 1d

feel like this is on a par with saying you know someone from the masked orgy. no you don't. we aren't talking about that here.

How refreshing for a UK politician to call the press 'shit rags' rather than cowering in front of negative headlines.

I'm never actually going to need to write another comment piece again am I?

The right wing shit rags are just going to keep recruiting for us.
