It's bad that the Tories do want to kill the poors, but as I discussed in conversation with my BFF Jacko Moggs, we really should know our place as social inferiors. Also Babs."

Although I suspect this is just to boost her profile, without any real expectations of actually winning. Starmer would be bad in the usual bland centrist management way - he's not very inspiring, very suspect actions he's supported in the past, and couldn't really be trusted to not try to lurch things back a decade or so. Jessflaps would be worse; she's entirely self-serving at best, and a wrecker/Tory-enabler at worst. RottenK posted:https://twitter.com/billoislove/status/1213177323131953153 Ha!

Pilchenstein posted:Smearing Corbyn over antisemitism worked so well that the next Labour leader will almost certainly be smeared the same way. Press attacks on the leader are 100% guaranteed to happen and who the leader is and what they've done in life will have almost no bearing on the direction or intensity of those attacks and you're an absolute mug if you think otherwise. There is no safe pick for leader that will avoid being called turbohitler 3.0 so just pick based on policies and stop being a loving melt. Pretty much. The attacklines are pretty predictable for whoever gets it. Starmer is Ultra Remainer London Lawyer. Ignoring the fact that he's probably the one they actually want in the most. RLB is Corbyn2.0 - and in her case they've already started trying to disparage her  weird hobby of...sitting on the couch and relaxing with her kids in her time off. Probably because she appears to be the one most likely to continue with the current Labour trajectory, and thus a legitimate threat. And by god they'll do their damnedest to convince the general public she makes the buses late, the milk sour, and babies cry.Jessflaps would be an unceasing tirade of misogynistic gammonati sneering at at her, aided by her readiness to push further right to please them. But yeah, regardless of who gets in, and what policies they enact, labour will still be claimed to have an AS problem (when it's convenient), and any policies will be reported as frivolous, unrealistic, or treacherous Marxist sorcery.

I know they were writing for entirely different ends, and for different audiences, and not otherwise comparable aside from being fantasy and featuring wizards, but I think of how Pratchett uses dwarfs and golem as allegory for LGBT+ identities, civil rights, class struggle, and in (the case of the golems) slavery. and how things change in that society... And compare that to the Harry Potter narrative lightly mocking the character trying to free actual indentured slaves (who love being slaves - really!), and how their utterly toxic society based on blood purity is presented as pretty good actually, with their only goal is to restore the failed status quo that sided with the wizard fash the minute he was back. Again, that's not entirely fair as a comparison, but holy gently caress seeing how Harry Potter has infected peoples brains.

Bundy posted:JK Rowling is a loving hack that writes horrible plot hole ridden shite filled with middle class racist tropes and it angers me greatly that it's held up as some great loving literary triumph My favourite part of Harry Potter lore is wizards used to poo themselves in their robes, and magic away the piss and poo poo. And also that Rowling's detecive fiction is somehow worse than Harry Potter.

loving --- Unrelated, Jessflaps already setting up excuses if she fails to become labour leader: "Hustings are a bad way to decide who would make a good Labour leader posted:I said at the beginning of this process that I would tell the truth. I said that I was the bold choice and only bold could beat Boris Johnson, and I meant it. And then I did something I didn’t think I would do, and I stopped being bold. I didn’t lie, but I certainly stopped being real. I really believe that authentic, big-hearted, funny, kind and different politics is the only way to beat Johnson. So I am going to practise it. TBF she isn't wrong about the format of the hustings necessarily , but holy hell that's a lot of laying groundwork for excuses about why it's likely she's going to have her arse handed to her. Did a frequency count on the text; you'll all be shocked to know the 2nd highest word frequency at 48 out of 964 was the pronoun, "I".

thespaceinvader posted:I mean, hustings aren't how we decide who is Labour leader. The election is. I'd bet that a significant proportion iof the membership never actually see a hustings. I meant in the sense of 40 secs to answer a question - but it's clear why that's there - too easy to waffle on otherwise. And yeah, the actual election is the important thing, it's just amusing to see her flub it - even though she's clearly doing this to boost her profile rather than having any actual expectations of winning.

MikeCrotch posted:Seems like Jess Phillips is basically setting up for the fact that the media are lapping up Lisa Nandy instead of her It boosts her profile. And from her perspective, it's win-win to go for it. If she gets 0.00% of the votes, she goes back to the back benches and continues to be a wrecker/prop up the Tories/assist the labour melts. There's also always the slim prospect of a cabinet seat if one of the melts gets in. Or an authenticrat rent-a-gob when the press come calling (while also letting her know she's at their mercy for coverage). And if she (somehow) wins, then she'll openly attempt to reverse the last four years and bring the party back to Sensible Grownup CentrismTM...while also aiding and abetting the Tories. But just with a sad face drawn on in marker. KOGAHAZAN!! posted:I don't know if that's true, honestly. Flips was doing pretty well boosting her profile without running for leader, and while it's plausible that the fawning profiles will evaporate now that there's no need to undermine Corbyn*, jumping into a leadership contest you don't think you can win is a gamble, profile-wise. Burnham and Cooper managed to come out of 2015 looking like contenders that got beat; Kendall was a joke. If Flips polls at current numbers all this contest is going to do is cement her as a fringe loon. This is true. I'm just trying to think of it from the perspective of someone presenting themselves as an egotist, rather than an actual egotist themselves...although if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck - just me overthinking

Sanitary Naptime posted:Speaking of the pod, the promised Star Wars episode has been recorded and quite obviously is later than expected in coming out. I’m hoping to have it edited and released on Wednesday night. Sorry for the delay folks! Missed out on being on the star wars pod, drat. Oh well, maybe another time. Gonna assume its about the crazy racist gently caress reaction to the new trilogy, rather than the fun bonkers old EU stuff like Han Solo fighting a giant space otter, or robot Princess Leia assassinating a three-eyed (fake) son of the Emperor at their "Dark Imperial Wedding".

The Question IRL posted:You mean Trikloyps? The Emperor's three eyed son who wanted peace, but at night designed all these Imperial Death machines while he dreamed? No that was his real son - Trioculus was the other three-eyed guy who pretended to be the Emperor's son. I love the old EU - such great nonsense. The Question IRL posted:Honestly I am hoping that the Star Wars talk is about the politics in the new film. I've literally forgotten 99% of the new films. Outside of them being better films than the prequels, having no planned direction of the franchise, and every film being a reaction to the one before it. Barely thought about the politics outside of the white noise of searing hot takes on the topic of race, sex, and gender. OwlFancier posted:When you say three eyes you mean like the actual aliens with three eyes or just a human with an extra eye? As in a literal human dude with an extra eye.  And here's my favourite EU Star Wars scene entirely out of context:  This was canon.

thespaceinvader posted:And when I complained about all these things, and particularly about the excel element making me look substantially less competent than I was due to not accounting for the fact that excel has half a dozen ways to execute most functions, and only allowing one to be correct (and in one instance, not allowing ANY to be correct, it simply wouldn't accept the input at all), they just sort of... glibly acknowledged that it's poo poo, and it wouldn't actually affect anything. Not quite the same thing, but when I was unemployed the DWP managed to put me on a computer course to get an actual qualification - I've been using computers since I was about 8, but didn't pursue any ICT above any mandatory GCSE level - although I think they cocked up because they enrolled me on a course for people who had literally never touched a computer before in their entire lives. It was meant to be for two weeks, with a test at the end. I did the assignments in 20 minutes (literally the most basic of basic stuff - open word, change font, save, etc, etc), and not really knowing what to do with me, they told me not to come back until the day of the test. Come the test, and it's not on the actual programs, it's something like the flash thing you describe. Still get through it, although it refuses to recognise any shortcuts and has super limited functions, but when it came to creating a slide that you could click a pre-programmed item on it to jump to a specific slide, it flags it up as incorrect. Called the examiner over to prove to him the method I was using - the standard method taught at my school - works, and he's all, "...Huh. Never seen that method before. I'll mark it as correct, but, do it the way this ultra specific long-winded way the program recognises as correct". Fortunately haven't had to deal with any bullshit aptitude tests - did have to do a WPS typing test while applying for an internal job they'd already filled but had to go through the charade of letting people apply - only found that out after. Waste of everyone's time. Then again, this was the same firm that just after the recession hit told me that they weren't going to renew my contract (because of the recession), although I was a good worker, and they'd love it if I could still come in and volunteer doing the same work for free!
