"Breaking the taboo against harming the representative of the lower classes made a resurgence of aristocracy inevitable in a time of rising unemployment and wealth disparity" and I'm going to stop before I talk myself into believing the cause of all our current ills is the failure of the Gracchi.

"Well look, they *tried* to do a bit of redistribution but the bourgeois bastards in the Senate put a stop to that, didn't they? Made the rise of Sulla inevitable but he only really stemmed the tide, and the eventual collapse of the republic became inevitable really. All downhill from there."

Ah, Starmerites, forever seeing Labour MPs do something appalling then pushing their glasses up their nose and nasally saying 'well actually I think you'll find they actually technically didn't do the thing they did actually'.

Ah, like more or less all dictators then.

Or more of a Noel Edmonds type?

So he's French a Jeremy Clarkson who sings?

Genuine question: would it? I don't really have a good handle on how much of his persona is genuine and how much is posturing for a domestic audience.

Because they've angered every demographic. Right wingers always hated them, centrists don't like them because they're not competent, left wingers hate them because they've done awful things chasing Reform votes and handled Israel/Palestine appallingly. They're also just broadly a bit rubbish.

The best tailors are a condescending ball of furious rage. If you want your clothes mended or made to the best possible standards you should take it to someone seething with barely concealed contempt for their customers in general. You should fear your tailor. Pretty sure that's universal.

I don't know if it's a cultural thing or a universal thing but when I see someone boasting about an 'armada' I tend to assume it's going to end really badly for the armada.

He's clearly cooked, and the Starmer ultras under this post are genuinely, hilariously, deluded.

Some people do like the video and image stuff they can get AI to do for them, nobody likes looking at other people's AI generated stuff. Like holiday photos.

This is the worst advice I've ever read. If you feed crap to an AI you will get crap out, and that's what you're telling people to do. What a ridiculous, embarrassing idea.

Subnautica and Subnautica tbh. I can see that Into the Breach is a masterpiece but somehow never quite got on with it.

On the other other hand: Scotland has a considerably smaller population than London, so it could be argued that police Scotland is actually a fairly small police force.

I work for a care charity, a lot of our carers are immigrants and your home secretary has demonised and terrorised them in a desperate and shallow attempt to appeal to racists. The neck on you to even mention social care workers. Repulsive. Your government is a disgrace.

Did a tourist trip to Paris with my wife for our anniversary a couple of months ago and honestly that was an enormous selling point. Pretty sure we spent more time walking around inside the Louvre and the catacombs than trying to get to anything.
