If socialism is what you’re after I would recommend coming after the revolution, because right now London is a monument to Capitalism and Imperialism. But view it through that lens. Look how many streets and buildings are named after the Viceroys of India. Pay attention to how much of the cities sights and monuments were paid for and to glorify slavers. See the museums of poor houses and factories. Consider the institutions you pass and whose interests they serve.

The CPBML meet in London Wednesday 16th at the Conway Hall, Red Lion Square. If that’s your jam?

The dickens museum is meant to be good too for kids.

We are concerned that an objectively good thing may happen. This is bad because then people may then expect a good thing to happen again.

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve seen it, but I remember at the time I did feel like it fell a little into the mastabatory category of films where Hollywood makes films about itself with the weirdest fixations on its own ‘culture’ and processes as if we the audience should all consider them the hardest working and greatest of the tortured artists, instead of as the cogs in the Americana Propaganda machine they really are.

Not my favourite ever film, but the twist was excellent and well pulled off. The film was generally brilliantly made, excellent tension, angst, confusion and fear, I just didn’t care for the subject matter.

But I’ve also heard it described that Mulholland Drive is for lesbians what Fight Club is for suburban white men. So perhaps I’m just not the right person to experience it.

Not to ‘Ackchyually’ you, but the AKM is also chambered in 7.62. The 74 was the one to bring in the intermediate cartridge.

They all seem to be either pointlessly obsessed with electoralism despite not even being able to convince their own friends and family to vote for them (like barely double digit total votes), TERFs (on terf island - surely not!), trots, or just so small that it’s just 1 person and their two sock puppet accounts on a Facebook page (also what is with the use of Facebook?!)

And what about Occupied Korean society may be causing these social breakdowns for their children? Is it the alienation they feel from some of the most oppressive capitalism on earth?

It turns out US Navy boats can’t handle rough seas either. farquaad-point

The US MIC really is showing us what they can do.

To be fair I took a course of Indian cooking classes and now I’m no longer English.

Including amusingly Elon himself. Whose bond movie prop lotus was spotted in some footage.

Loving that he did a test with a stick, the truck crushed it and he went ahead and put his finger in it anyway. Real brain of the year guy here.

The Israeli-Hamas war is clouding these polls.

This poll is clearly bullshit. It’s making it look like the genocide that we are currently participating in, is causing people to forget about Biden’s infrastructure bill!

Hilariously full of cope article from an irrelevant former power.

According to Grant Shapps, the weapon could have "huge ramifications" for the conflict in Europe.

Press X to Doubt.

The laser was originally expected to be operational by 2032… ….the defence secretary told reporters while on a visit to Porton Down military research centre near Salisbury that he wanted to speed this up even further. "Let's say that it didn't have to be 100% perfect in order for Ukrainians perhaps to get their hands on it," he said.

Very funny assessment of the readiness and efficacy of this Wunderwaffe.

Any suggestion that UK lasers could be sent to Ukraine to take out Russian drones is optimistic.

Ahh the admission in the article that the whole notion of uk made laser weapons being used in Ukraine is just a nato fantasy.

In the same vain I’m looking forward to future BBC articles about how the uk is sending a battle ready gundam to Ukraine next week

Once again techbros find a new way to make the world worse. Now your toothbrush can be part of a bot net. Nobody asked for this, and the suggestion that it should be possible is utterly deranged.

We probably already have several ‘Mozarts’ at any one time, but due to the class system and the lack of opportunity they’re probably working in some alienating factory trying to scrape by without the time or money or access to learning and materials to engage in their creative endeavours. It’s one of the greatest tragedies of capitalism; the wasted human potential.

Another one for the “China is going to fall, for real this time” pile.
