- Comment on Why do people say things like "I didn't do nothing"? 4 days ago:
I think you have this back to front. The grammar rules were written long after the language was spoken. Their purpose is to describe how language is actually used. Language evolves, though, so grammar must evolve too.
- Comment on T-Pain sings War Pigs 1 week ago:
Not bad? I’m no fan of T Pain, and kind of so-so with Sabbath - but this was a great cover version. Amazing musicians really milking that tune for all its worth.
- Comment on Kate Nash and Lily Allen on OnlyFans should be a wake-up call for the music industry 3 weeks ago:
Part of the point is that touring and gigs are no longer profitable either.
- Comment on If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him? 4 weeks ago:
Maybe, but that’s not the question.
- Comment on How do Americans win their country back? 1 month ago:
I think you underestimate them. And if they do, who will you complain to anyway?
- Comment on How do Americans win their country back? 1 month ago:
It worked for his pal, Putin…
- Comment on How do Americans win their country back? 1 month ago:
I don’t think they need a constitutional amendment, just Scotus ruling that it only applies to consecutive terms, for example.
- Comment on How do Americans win their country back? 1 month ago:
I fear that the next election will be more ceremony than democracy once they have finished rigging it. At this point, I expect a third term for Trump - if he lives that long.

I worked with a guy who thought like this back in the 90s . He stank of Death.

I can’t even manage one whole mug of jot chocolate before I start feeling physically sick. There’s just way too much milk.

Yeah, that’s the broken window fallacy.
- Comment on Ucas plans to drop personal statements for UK university applicants 5 months ago:
Or lovely but poor parents. I hated the whole gap year culture when I went to University. Everyone carried on like they were so cool. No, you weren’t, you were just rich enough to afford flights and to do fuck all for a year.
- Comment on Exit poll: Labour to win landslide in general election 5 months ago:
I disagree. The meteoric rise of Reform indicates that a large part of the country is moving further right, not left. In contrast, the gains by Labour in terms of votes were not what I had hoped for. What turned this into a land slide was reform splitting the right wing vote.
We/you need to spend the next 5 years addressing that problem or there are indeed bad times ahead.

Mostly, he’s been doing the dirty work for Russia.
- Comment on Julian Assange leaves UK after being freed in US plea deal - BBC News 5 months ago:
Yeah… I’ve very mixed feelings about this. On paper, wikileaks was a force for good, but it got taken over by far right/Russian assets.

Pfft, kids these days - I remember usenet.
- Comment on If somebody spends the whole day watching fox or religious propaganda, gets worked up and all he can think of is owning a liberal or converting an unbeliever, is this person a victim or just gullible? 7 months ago:
Honestly, I think there is a real problem with infantilisation - and (Warning: unpopular opinion) a large part of this is the marvel films and manga trend. Those always over simplify every problem to a short, violent solution.
- Comment on UK inflation falls as meat and crumpet prices drop 8 months ago:
Crumpets are great, so take the wins where you can!
- Comment on RAF fighter jets deployed to shoot down Iran drones, MoD says 8 months ago:
Iran surely got a lot of nuclear know how from Russia in return for drones. I wouldn’t want to bet that they don’t have nuclear weapons at this point.

Uhhhh… Homer has three kids, surely?
