In a touching tribute to his mentor, Morgan McSweeney has resigned in disgrace.

Starmer's public declarations of 'full confidence' in McSweeney don't seem to be the usual kiss of death they are for other senior figures in the party.
Very strange.

It's lunchtime and Morgan McSweeney still has a job. Incredible.

Hell hath no fury like a pathologically needy loser scorned.
Goodwin literally had a hissy fit when Alan Rusbridger & David Aaronovitch went for dinner after an event they all did together & chose not to ask him. He’s palpably desperate to go to fictional dinner parties that exist only in his warped imagination. Instead he gets to suck lemons with 30p Lee.
You dont win 'em all! Reform's Matt Goodwin in Sunday Times: 'Most .. people criticising me are nerds.The last thing I want is to be at some dinner party table with Nick Robinson & Mary Beard. I'd rather shoot myself in the head'. Hang on, I'm not THAT bad!Nerds sometimes have a (thoughtful!) point.

My favourite was from Jon Stewart: “Move over 'Avatar' sequels, here's another movie that wasn't necessary!”

I object to Silicon Valley's bastardisation of the term "Grindcore". If an SV worker's so-called 9-9-6 doesn't predominantly involve listening to Napalm Death, Terrorizer, Lock-Up and Brutal Truth [at the very least], it ain't Grindcore. *folds arms*
There, I said it.

Silicon Valley workers here really reaping the benefits of the AI productivity miracle - “The current vibe is no drinking, no drugs, 9-9-6 [working from 9am to 9pm, six days a week], lift heavy, run far, marry early, track sleep, eat steak and eggs"

1/ Thoughts:
It's good when people who didn't agree with me change their minds.
However, exactly how much grace I offer them post-revelation depends on a range of factors.
My tent is big and so has room for many people.
It's also large enough that I can let someone in but not sit with them.

Bluesky idea: if people who didn't agree with you change their opinions so that they do agree with you, why not be happy that you are making progress - rather than complaining that they are "only just catching up"?

My god, that's a helluva lineup of half-witted bullshitters, isn't it.

I can just imagine Tony Blair glaring at her with that (in)famous rictus half-grin/half-grimmace of his, like: "Shabana, you're not supposed to say the quiet part out loud."

Unsurprisingly, a lot of the replies to Gaby's quote post completely ignored her polite reminder.

There's a lot of people on this site gunning for Jon Stewart (some out of sheer bitter professional jealousy). Again.
If he becomes aware of it, I sincerely hope his response is (and continues to be):

Bizarre still are the self-professed anti-fascists who will proudly shout (and 'tweet') all day long about how anti-facist they are while still continuing to drive engagement (and ultimately money) to Musk's fash (and now paedo) bar.

Good Louise Haigh and others leave X after the Grok AI nudes nightmare, calling on the gov to do the same, but it's bizarre that it's taken so long. For the average punter the site became unusable over a year ago. Did gov miss this because it doesn't 'use' the site, just passively broadcasts?
