- Reposted by Cruiser Destroyer & Typhon Frigate Enthusiasti think between this and Amy Chua’s alleged advice to potential Kavanaugh clerks about looking good there’s an underrated pipeline of professor “mentors” who essentially feed their mentees to predatory peers
- This is the Yale professor's explanation for why he described the physical attractiveness of a student in an email to Epstein. He explicitly says he regrets nothing about their association. Again, I'm so happy Yale hired David Brooks to restore trust. yaledailynews.com/articles/gel...
- Reposted by Cruiser Destroyer & Typhon Frigate EnthusiastOne reason that institutional capital is significantly better than oligarchic capital is that it is actually profit-maximizing—often something that can cohabitate with the social good—rather than hegemony-maximizing.
- Reposted by Cruiser Destroyer & Typhon Frigate EnthusiastI don't think it's sunk into SW1 just how delegitimising this could be, genuine crisis moment for the British establishment.
- Reposted by Cruiser Destroyer & Typhon Frigate EnthusiastThe Mandelson saga is doubly bad for Starmer & co. First because it goes against their supposed brand of probity. Second because it fits their actual brand of not listening to concerns from their colleagues and majoring on ideas that only make sense in transactional terms or getting through the week

- Reposted by Cruiser Destroyer & Typhon Frigate EnthusiastRenegotiate soul contracts raises a lot of questions. Is this like a union bargaining process?

- Reposted by Cruiser Destroyer & Typhon Frigate EnthusiastWe are never getting Medicare for All with mutual aid. We are getting it with Big Government. In all of human history, it has always taken Big Government in all its might to redistribute income from the wealthy to the poor, to pay doctors and nurses to care for those who need care.
- Reposted by Cruiser Destroyer & Typhon Frigate EnthusiastNot to pick on this too hard, but Occupy Wall Street failed because it presented no solutions - in large part because its low-trust grievance soup revolved around a mantra that "big is always bad." That ideology is antithetical to social democracy. It's left Reaganism. It is a political dead end.
- Reposted by Cruiser Destroyer & Typhon Frigate EnthusiastThey seem rather terrified of landing in a cage for life, though. So much so that they openly conspired in email to destroy the world that made their fortunes and insatiable raping possible. Makes you think.
- Reposted by Cruiser Destroyer & Typhon Frigate EnthusiastIt is a form of biblical hell for any human but the problem with monsters is that they’re incapable of understanding their monstrosity. Not while living in a polite society capable of producing these monsters without the means of executing their punishment, at least.
- Reposted by Cruiser Destroyer & Typhon Frigate Enthusiastyeah but he still wishes he majored in receiving cryptic letters from loved ones long thought dead inviting him to towns not marked on any map, those guys are recession proof
- Reposted by Cruiser Destroyer & Typhon Frigate Enthusiastmy PI buddy is almost never drawn by a seemingly innocuous case that leads him to face vast occult conspiracies involving sinister cosmic forces and their misguided human cults, and honestly, he's super mad about it
- Reposted by Cruiser Destroyer & Typhon Frigate EnthusiastThey cannot live with their existence because they cannot live with their death. These people do not live at all. They’re nothing but a maw that must consume, a phallus that must rape. Anything that is experienced is pointless because they cannot be sated, they feel nothing but an endless hunger.

- Reposted by Cruiser Destroyer & Typhon Frigate Enthusiastthe fact that it was apparently negotiated by two gullible Russia loving morons is especially concerning. The Russians eat fools like Kushner and Witkoff for lunch.
- Reposted by Cruiser Destroyer & Typhon Frigate EnthusiastRegardless of your views on arms control, the proper role of nuclear weapons in American and European security, arsenal size and character, whatever - A secretive handshake agreement is simply not an acceptable substitute for a treaty with verification protocols and public knowledge.

- Reposted by Cruiser Destroyer & Typhon Frigate EnthusiastAlso the premise is just wrong, because they didn’t really weather the previous storms, they were hugely damaging, and it’s incredible they don’t get that. If a storm doesn’t actually sink your boat but critically damages so much that it’s effectively useless, you didn’t really “weather” the storm

- Reposted by Cruiser Destroyer & Typhon Frigate EnthusiastThe only way Labour can win the next election is by governing well. That might not be enough, but it’s the bare minimum. The questions to be asking about any potential new PM are “what is their agenda and can they achieve it?” Not “do they currently poll well?” Or “can they handle a media round?”

- Reposted by Cruiser Destroyer & Typhon Frigate EnthusiastNew RUSI research by Jack Watling, Bob Tollast and Nick Reynolds examines the future of air manoeuvre in Europe’s most demanding combat environments. With dense air defences and constant surveillance, can air assault still work? This paper argues: yes, if it adapts.
- Reposted by Cruiser Destroyer & Typhon Frigate EnthusiastIt’s so stupid that they can’t actually get into why this is a big scandal because they’re too scared to talk about the fact Mandleson got the job because of his connections to the abuse that Trump was also part of so you get shite like this that doesn’t make sense
- Reposted by Cruiser Destroyer & Typhon Frigate Enthusiast... her polling is incredibly poor *and* very hard - not much room for improvement. The right wing press have done a absolute number on her. We remain a deeply classist and sexist nation - and it shows in how she's treated by the public. And it goes way beyond normal anti-Labour peeps. Urgh
- Reposted by Cruiser Destroyer & Typhon Frigate EnthusiastI'm so torn on Rayner. Clearly the best person for the job in terms of ability. Incredible story, personable, good at politics, charismatic and has delivered in govt. Has shown it again today. A symbol of what Labour should help people achieve. But...
- Reposted by Cruiser Destroyer & Typhon Frigate EnthusiastThis remains my hottest take, that you can’t explain the rise of reform without mentioning that the Tories have had two non-White leaders
- Reposted by Cruiser Destroyer & Typhon Frigate EnthusiastWe had an Asian PM and Middle England responded by destroying and abandoning the Tory Party
- Reposted by Cruiser Destroyer & Typhon Frigate EnthusiastI have sympathy for the appeal of "build a new parliament in Bolton and turn the old one into a museum" but that still means you have two megaprojects, not one, and it very much begs the question "a museum of what, exactly?"
- Reposted by Cruiser Destroyer & Typhon Frigate Enthusiastoh great another day of talking about fucking hemicycles again, think I’m gonna sit this out folks
- Reposted by Cruiser Destroyer & Typhon Frigate EnthusiastThis is why, for all that people love Larry, we have to be honest, it's a humiliation stat Starmer can't even sack him. Terrible at his job, constantly on social media, visible signs of failure, and yet he stays in place. Weak. Weak. Weak.
- Reposted by Cruiser Destroyer & Typhon Frigate EnthusiastI always found it bleakly funny going to tenants' meetings about block repairs how people would go 'MPs would never let Parliament get like this!'
- Reposted by Cruiser Destroyer & Typhon Frigate EnthusiastWe really go in for the 'most humiliating transfer of power possible' in that you go from 'the heart of one of the most centralised democracies in the world' to 'a place that feels like a horrible hotel in the 90s, crawling with mice'.
- Reposted by Cruiser Destroyer & Typhon Frigate EnthusiastEven without looking to see the moment, I know for a fact the answer is 'yes', because Norman Shaw South (where the leader of the opposition's office is) is absolutely riddled with mice, even by the standards of Parliament.
