BTW re. the thread in general. I feel like this with fucking GPT-4. I am not interested. Douglas Adams said that anything invented after you're 35 is against the natural order of things. With GPT-4 he's right.

Yeah I thought it was all over for you Luke. I thought you were going to go down in a blaze of vodka, DMT and arson, taking Woops, the Tate and a few hundred passerbys with you. Bit disappointed tbh

Anyone think of anything good referencing/titled after pounds/ps/pence/shillings? Must be some but Im stumped

I don't know how many people here will have read Judith Butler - isn't she famously impenetrable? I'm familiar with the broad outlines but I completely agree she's laid the theoretical foundations for a lot of modern queer id politics. I'd be interested in hearing what ways her work might not...

Richard Sharp, Chairman of the beeb who arranged the huge loan for BJ

This is very JG Ballard/Empire of the Sun.

Ian Bone's biography is an interesting and entertaining read if you're fascinating with riots as he's the nearest thing you can get to rioting as a complete political philosophy. I actually wrote a review of it back when I had a blog and called it out for being absolute balls as a set of ideas...

Surprised to see this still in the headlines - I mean, it's as long ago as yesterday. The age of political shame seems behind us but would be pretty amazing if Labour manage to depose Sharp over this.

Any strong feelings on crisps? Or comics (sorry, "graphic novels")

:eek:

It's a shame this board doesn't have the "thinking" emoji.

I wonder if the general lack of Blair like messiah vibes might hit him at some stage but it doesn't seem to be doing him any harm at the minute.

What's ridiculous about it? Trans people already faced disproportionate amounts of violence, before the Republicans decided to centre them in a moral panic. How do you think the kind of attitudes you've shown in this thread play out in the real world? "You aren't real/don't exist/are wrong...

Perhaps his plan is have a small op just before the election and his nasal clarity will storm it in the poles.

Turns out if you actively subscribe to and promote points of view that are talk over people and will contribute to their harm, people will be pissed at you. Who would have thought it?

Reincarnation as an explanation for trans identities is a ballsy argument. I guess it has the advantage that it will really fuck off American Christians.

I don't want to engage in more arguments in this most cursed of threads but Starmer does remind me of this advert, in that he permanently sounds like he has a cold:

I was wondering if MB's post there was a parody.
