I think there's a thing where reactionaries, especially competent ones, turn on other reactionaries who are perceived as weak; it wouldn't surprise me if Neil, as a competent reactionary, absolutely savaged Johnson. If your existence is defined by hierarchy, then one thing you can't stand is a failure at the top. And, well, Johnson's lazy and poo poo, he's been coasting, and it's really obvious.

Looking forward to this post ageing rapidly.


Wow Chuka Umunna was just terrible as always on Marr there. I guess it's up to the Queen to form a Lib Dem government (?).

Welp, Neil pretty much monstered Jòris on schools, libraries, hospitals, prisons, criminal justice, benefits, child poverty, Islamophobia, and Brexit. There should be endless clips of flailing angry prevarication to spread after this.

He still didn't actually push back on any lies, or stop Johnson from blustering on CORBYN BAD tangents, but it was a lot more substantial than I would have expected.

What would be a good comparison. We're not yet at the Bliain an Áir but we're well past the Harrying of the North. We're at least in Suuret kuolonvuodet territory.

If we're talking globally I wouldn't be surprised if austerity deaths outstripped the Holocaust. Especially if you interpret particular famine genocides through the lens of austerity politics, even if they wouldn't have been formulated as such at the time.

Generally better to just not compare things to Auschwitz. In college, we had a lil CO2 box for euthanizing mice that we called "Mauschwitz". Seems iffy in retrospect (also Spiegelman did it first)

This Panorama about Nonce Andrew is great, letting the poor abused woman tell her story and occasionally intercutting in clips of Andrew being a sweaty stammering lizard.

Though BBC might just be doing it now to draw attention away from the other sweaty sexual badman in No. 10, who knows

If it is it's probably only grammatically, so you'd be saying like "I see nothing here" instead, latin grammar is dumb.

IIRC you can pretty much put the verbs and nouns and whatnot in any order in Latin and it's still perfectly cromulent. I guess it can emphasise different things but you won't strictly be wrong. But loving hell 6 noun cases, gimme a break

On the internet it says James Hetfield is 6ft 2 but they did a secret gig at the Marquee once as a Wembley warmup and he's shorter than me (I was probably about 6ft in my boots) - unfortunately I was so shocked I patted him on the head and said 'god you're short'. Hm.

I'm sure there's a word for emotion so overriding that you lose the ability to express it. Same reason people cry when happy I think. You can get so upset you run out of expressive responses. I used to occasionally get bouts of hysterical laughter instead.

I keep wanting to say affective override but that's something different.
