Roko's Basilisk is a fun conceit for a classic sci-fi short story, but if you alter anything about the way you live because of it then you have severe brain spiders and should be segregated from polite society

The rich and powerful are going to grind this country to dust and walk away to do it again to some place else. The EU likes to direct it's tariffs at whatever affects specific politicians constituencies or them directly, it was their modus operandi when hitting the USA with tariffs.

Tony Blair should pull a Churchill/Gladstone and become prime minister into his 80s. I know even some of the Labour left are envious of the way Blair could win those landslides.

He was literally planning on doing that but then someone told him that Andrew Adonis was just a delusional twat, robbing us of Blair coming third in a By Election.

I really enjoyed the new Bond film, but there's numerous moments where someone in MI6 says "I need to call the Prime Minister" and all I could do was imagine BSJ wibbling on the other end of the line. Actually the whole conceit of Britain exerting any kind of influence overseas seems more and more fanciful. Otherwise good stuff tho

Otherwise good stuff tho I haven't seen the new Bond film yet, but I dis see this headline on the Daily Mail which left me spitting bullets.  I've said it before but apart from Casino Royal, I hate the Craig Bond films. It's very obvious he doesn't like playing James Bond*, QoS is a mess of a film**, Skyfall explicitly hates the concept of Bond movies and itself*** and Spectre is just a bad film****. I'll probably end up watching NTTD at somepoint because I am very fond of Bond but I don't expect I'll like it. * = And I don't blame Daniel Craig for this. He's obviously getting a lot of money to do a job he doesn't like. I do blame the people who hired a man who doesn't like the role. **= Yes I knew the writers strike screwed things up. But man the film is the equivalent of a game that keeps crashing until it's been patched months later. Great opening theme, and Bond murdering Elon Musk in the desert is good to see. ***= Skyfall is like the epitome of mid 2010 centrist. All these previous things were stupid, not like our own ill-thought out ideas. No wonder they had Bond show up to the Olympic Ceremony. ****= Spectre doesn't even have the excuse of a writers strike. At least the Sony emails about it are funny.

Antigravitas posted:I do not think they will have a choice but to kick the can down the road indefinitely. Certainly as long as crises keep happening whenever another implementation date comes up. They can't. We could blame Covid as a reason to defer and in general other countries accepted that, but it goes against international law to allow the EU's imports in unchecked but not those from other countries. It undermines the concept of a trade bloc. Eventually China or America will object, and the result will either be we impose customs checks on EU imports, or we have to let everything in. The former is how you get real food shortages and riots, the latter is how you burn to death when your unsafe electrical goods explode, the smoke alarm is faulty, and the fire services' uniforms turn out to be made of nylon.

I just typed 'collective noun' in google and offered collective noun for moles. Clearly many people googling it right now! Very appropriate, suits the relevant party: Tunnelling through the earth.

Is the media exaggerating to promote it or are there actually that many Bond fans? I’m glad people are going the cinema because I want Dune to do well and get a sequel but I think even without Partridge parodying Bond fans the films surely only appeal to a certain type of Home Counties dickhead.
