Tbf the main thing Hoxha did wrong was he failed to just move the entire country into a massive underground bunker that could house them all indefinitely, and could not be harmed with anything less than orbital mass drivers.

You’re in an ocean swimming along in the piss when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a student, floating toward you. You reach down, you tax the student 5p for a plastic bag and then implement a massive rise in tuition fees. The student floats on their back, their belly baking in the hot sun, taking an unpaid internship to try and get experience so they can start paying off their tuition debts, but they can’t, not without your help.

So as a (very) long term lurker I'm pumped as hell for the election. I've been drinking and listening to union songs all evening and just joined the IWW Cymru, canvassing tomorrow, and joined the Momentum volunteers group. Sorry this is a bit white noise, which is why I don't post, but let's do this. I'm actually optimistic for once.

You've seen the kind of shite we usually post, so even if you were a bad poster, unless you were on the level of the Unnameable Ones you'd be fine. As it stands you just said you're married to a tran and joining the wobblies, which means you're well above the level of a bad or even middling poster.

I'm guessing a chunk of people who were bigging up the other parties over the last year or two have suddenly found the election is providing a sharp incentive to return to the big two. Though whether that holds remains to be seen.

Ultimately the only poll that matters is Election Day but even those of us who know that AND have been burned by psephological shortcomings in the last few years are desperately examining the entrails and studying the birds in flight, because haruspicy and augury is all we have.

One time I was flying back to the UK from my then-fiance and went through MSP and we were on the phone in the airport and decided it was bad and lovely to be apart when the Visa Waiver hadn't expired yet, so when they offered $800 of flight credit I leaped on it, stayed in a hotel overnight on Delta's dime as well, and spent the next day in Mall of America because the flight I got back to Montana instead of on to England was in the evening.

Well, that's my Minneapolis-St. Paul story.

MSP is probably the least lovely major airport I've ever been to, big, clean, pleasant to actually be in, loads of stores to browse (Including a surprisingly good bookstore that has much more than just airport pap!), a fuckin Galaga machine, food places, connection downtown via a neat tram system, the staff are friendly enough (Even the TSA are pretty polite and even the CBP guy who was suspicious of my anxiety at first became fully understanding when I showed him my doc's letter explaining it. I recognize that's big white privilege but compared to how they are in like Atlanta and Toronto, it's much better.).

Well, that's my MSP airport opinion.

To produce a picture like that could take up to two hours. There's little technical flexes he does, mainly having multiple subjects in a frame in consistent perspective, and managing to have his unusual face drawing technique be legible at numerous angles. That two hours is assuming he's only producing one picture, and not doing the photographer's strategy of making a shitload of images to only submit the best one. It's not worth £29k a month but it's definitely not poo poo. The man's tidiness, watercolouring and linework are things I am envious of.

I appreciate that it is a matter of artistic skill and respect, but I want to make extremely clear to you that you are vastly better than Matt is in every regard, and in a just world, if he's being paid 29 large a month, you would rightly earn enough to be the world's first defensible billionaire.

Re mattchat, isn’t it good that a worker owns the fruits of his own labour instead of a capitalist?

Of course, if you apply that rule strictly then investment bankers are good because they basically defraud capital owners.

Yeah, this is why I hesitate to condemn like, sports stars and musicians and the like who make mad bank. I want higher taxes on them, but it's money earned honestly through giving a lot of people what they want (Even if we can all quibble about whether someone is 'worth' a club paying £X money for) and even if it's outsized to their social contributions, it still relies on a lot of people voluntarily deciding that Sports is Good and Valuable, or an album is The Slap, or whatever. In short they're providing actual value, I guess. Twats what move money around or just own property are leeches who should be a far more immediate target. Matt's a bit different because he uses his work to directly stan for conservative hatred and boomer cowardice, so he's actively doing harm even if he's also doing honest work.

Plus I'm a little hesitant to condemn that kind of thing because historically some of the very few ways a poor kid from the council estates/projects/banlieues could actually make huge money have been to be LeBron or Ronaldo or some poor scouser kids in the 50s, which I recognize is a very tiny positive in a very negative system and makes no systemic difference. But ehhh as above, I think there are much bigger targets to go after first, and it'd be much better to worry about a fairer and better society elsewhere before we worry about any kind of systemic corrections of that kind of thing.

Had another chat with my parents about the upcoming election. They're amused by the Tory shitfest that is the start of their campaign and they're angry about the Lib Dem outright lies, but I can't get them enthused about Jezza. Though they'll still vote for Labour here, but they both think Corbs has a virulent hatred of the EU and is a secret, ardent Leaver, and my step-dad outright doesn't believe he'll give us a second referendum.

I mean if they'll vote that's what really matters but I have NO idea how you'd get through to those kinds of beliefs.

I thought this too. Surely it would've been easier and-or smarter to throw the council / building management under the bus instead?

Seeing as they've got plenty of evidence of hazards being raised with both bodies, the company saving a few quid by using lovely materials and gently caress all was done about either.

It would have been incredibly easy to just say "It's the local council's fault" and turn that into a virtue, i.e. "Look, we're not partisan, we'll criticize a Tory council when they get it wrong!" and they don't even have to do anything after that just refer to it for the next few weeks and forget about it after the election.

But the tories are so thoroughly convinced of their own brain genius (Why would anyone disobey the instructions of the fire service? They're literally designed from the ground up to know exactly what's best to do in situations like this!) right to rule and superiority of their blood that they literally can't help themselves from talking poo poo about the victims of one of the great disasters in this country's recent history and the worst fire in 30-odd years.

The Tories are explicitly targeting working-class voters. I'm pretty sure their strategy board didn't include insulting the intelligence of the working-class victims of a tragedy.
