I don't know why people have to constantly be reminded that it is impossible to shame a conservative by pointing out their hypocrisy. They do not give a shit

Create chaos (or use propaganda to make people believe there is chaos) and then put forward a strongman "law and order" leader is an old game. That's what's happening now financed by billionaires.

"Migrants," "rapists," "crime rate," etc being pushed by the right-wing information apparatus is ALL ABOUT getting people to accept billionaire-owned fascism.

That's NBC, supposedly the "good guys." Can't imagine what Mnuchin & Co. operating with tainted money would do to weaponize TikTok.

But a buck is a buck, right. 🙃🤢

Growth in the economy creates wealth that never trickles down, but is what Labour says it wants. What is it going to do for the 12 million people in absolute poverty in that case? taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/0. Meeting everyone's needs within sustainable limits should be our priority now. Unless that change happens, 12 million people will continue to live in absolute poverty in the UK.

Is that what Labour wants?

If the US government really wants to shut down TikTok they should let Elon buy it.

“UK doctors involved in climate protests face threat of being struck off.” Well we certainly can’t have doctors of all people caring about our long term health and wellbeing. #climatecrisis

Neologism alert:

Just spotted this in the FT...

Fauxcession = a recession reported (or seen in financial market pricing) but not appearing in the 'real economy'.

Perhaps it might be used for over-zealous short sellers' activities?

anyhow, I'd never seen the word before...

You think the perfect job doesn't exist.

But Samuel L. Jackson has made over $300,000,000 from his 150+ movies.

He says around 2000 words per movie, that comes to about $1000 per word.

"Motherfucker" was 1116 of those words.

Therefore Samuel L. Jackson has made over 1 million dollars for saying "Motherfucker".

That's the kind of job we would all aspire to.

It is as if we’re in this massive simulation: what if he crossed this red line? What if he actually didn’t just talk about grabbing women by the pussy, what if he actually raped a woman? Is that too far? What if he actually tried to overthrow the government? What if he actually incited violence? And the Republican Party is in the process of just shrugging and saying, “Yeah, four more years. We want four more years of that.”

If you want to see racism in action in politics then you need look no further than Speaker Lindsay Hoyle failing to ‘notice’ Diane Abbott and call her to speak in a debate where people were discussing whether her experience of racism was racism.

How much do you need to donate to the Conservative Party to get away with being racist to Rishi Sunak? I ask as a tariff structure seems to have emerged.
