A single Facebook (Facebook, for crying out loud. I beg you, what year is it?) post by a civil servant asking if private individuals might like to door knock for Harris in their spare time was presented as so egregious as to warrant an extraordinary General Election.

Farage flies off to support Trump, the Royal Family are found to be charging the RNLI & NHS for using “their” land, and neither story has been slammed as hard as Keir Starmer going to see Taylor Swift

But apparently an actual MP heading out to directly endorse Trump and act unofficially as Britain's position on the matter is not even worth mentioning. And that's how the press works. Totally cool and normal and fair and balanced and good for us all.

We cannot wipe ourselves out fast enough for my liking. Here's hoping for a Trump win and all out nuclear war in short order thereafter.

How Very Stable Genius of him to fend off a charge if running an illegal lottery by instead admitting to a massive fraud instead. HomerSimpsonItsAPornographyStoreIWasBuyingPornography.gif

WILD: Elon and his legal team are floundering, making claims to get around one argument, not thinking about the larger picture or consequences. Here, they say it's not an illegal lottery because it's not random — even though Elon said it was.

reuters.comElon Musk lawyer says $1 million voter giveaway winners are not randomElon Musk's pro-Trump group does not choose the winners of its $1 million-a-day giveaway to registered voters at random, but instead picks people who would be good spokespeople for its agenda, a lawyer for the billionaire said on Monday.

Just a reminder that, baring extremis, the macroeconomic situation bears basically no impact on the day-to-day of any given individual. We're all just too small and too poor (relatively) for it to make a difference over any reasonable term.

And the thing is that this is true of basically everywhere, but it's even more true in America which is A) essentially just 50 separate places operating under a single banner of convenience and B) geographically fucking enormous.

You're at home. There's a knock on the door. You open it. Stood on your drive are two guys holding signs. Guy 1's sign reads, 'let me in and I'll burn down your house'. Guy 2's reads, 'Let me in I will not'. Are you honestly taking Guy 1 on the basis that Guy 2 didn't promise to cook you dinner?

People who say that “not being Trump” is a weakness imo are revealing that they really don’t consider him a threat. Otherwise “not Trump” is really a great quality.

Is the correct answer. We simply spend far too much of our money in the completely unproductive 'housing' element of the economy. Imagine all housing costs halved overnight. The entire economy would explode and the money would be spent usefully (i.e. injected into the circular economy).

Eddie Robson@eddierobson.bsky.social

Why is the economy still so flat, people ask while landlords hoover up half of everyone's income for doing absolutely fuck all. Why are people so miserable just because they live in a state of constant precarity and can't afford nice things. Such a mystery.

I was considering recently the idea of government-backed equity release for pensioners in low-economic-activity areas (South Devon as an example). These people are asset rich and cash poor, so the local economy is trash. Releasing some of that unproductive money would be a start.

99% of people are ignorant of history. The only fascist they know is Hitler and the only thing they know about Hitler is that he sent Jews to gas chambers. Ergo, if Trump isn't sending Jews to gas chambers, he isn't a fascist.

The people advocating that 'entrepreneurs' are only staying here because of our favourable tax arrangements are EXACTLY the same people who told us we held all the cards during Brexit negotiations because the UK is a unicorn market with myriad structural advantages over everywhere else in Europe.

Stuart Houghton@stuarthoughton.bsky.social

Why are 'entrepreneurs' so fragile that the merest hint of something not going their way makes them flee the country, as if there were no reasons to stay e.g. access to a huge market, existing investment in infrastructure, the cost of laying off all staff. Unless they are bullshitting, of course.

If I decided to get married and then I decided to use that as an opportunity to ask other people to buy me shit, I would simply choose to die of embarrassment as a preferable alternative.
