I’m back on my Starmer conspiracy brainworms, and this might be totally silly of me, but….

Assuming MI5 had him orchestrate the dismantling of the Labour left in anticipation of worsening material conditions over the next two decades and the potential rise of a robust British socialist movement, could an additional objective be to enact draconian authoritarian laws to suppress protests and enhance surveillance? He then bows out after a year or two with deep unpopularity but with strong protections for capital in place, to be replaced with Ed Milliband in an attempt to show “progressive” leadership.

Basically, given the last 10 years the last few days happening has been horribly predictable. If you’re a Gladio aficionado, you might be sympathetic to the conspiracy theory I’m leaning toward here.

DaBiden I’m seriously considering buying some Biden merch because it’ll be so funny to break out a Biden-Harris hat in 6 years time. Or fuck it, even now!

It’s the only social media I use because the algorithm is so precise, it’s intensely trained on cat videos and possum videos. It doesn’t serve me anything else at this point, it’s a thing of beauty

History made rat-salute

I think there is a very slim chance that Trump might mention it.

a-little-trolling Folks, Bernie isn’t running this time around but his radical fans - Bernie Bros they call them - the Bernie Bros, they’re not happy with Sleepy Joe. Not happy - they call him “Genocide Joe” - I’m sticking with Sleepy myself, but you gotta give them credit, it’s got a ring to it

Trump gaining ground among Latino voters, poll shows

A USA Today and Suffolk University survey showed Trump was ahead with 39% support among Latino voters surveyed, compared to Biden’s 34%, signaling a slump since 2020, when Biden garnered 65% of the approval from Latino voters.

whywhywhywhywhy

We can only hope and pray he brings this pro-Latino energy to the campaign trail again

Channel 4 continues to do actual journalism

Although he’s inevitably a lib, their former main anchor Jon Snow did some good things in the past that annoyed the gammons

Edit: relevant bits as I can’t figure out Wikipedia deep linking:

In June 2017, it was reported that Snow had shouted "fuck the Tories" at Glastonbury. He was criticised for his views on air by a guest on Channel 4 News, Conservative minister Grant Shapps later refused to appear on the show, doubting its neutrality. Shapps stated: "I don’t think he [Jon Snow] can deal in an even handed manner in any interview with a Conservative MP. He has lost all credibility."

And

In March 2019, while reporting at a pro-Brexit protest, Snow said that he had "never seen so many white people in one place". Media regulator Ofcom received 2,644 complaints about Snow's comment

trump-anguish i did everything right and they indicted meeeeee

An archive.org backup from like 2019 is going to be the low-background steel of human knowledge
