How'd ya rather have it Tea should we pull up an armchair and smoke from pipes

@Mr. Tea's real true life anyway

 

[WashYourHands]

Gus just called you a cunt, Tea

 

[WashYourHands]

Said you spike your guest’s pipes with fentanyl and do things when they nod

 

[Mr. Tea]

SSSSHHHHH!!!

this cod-heroic language is everywhere now on all sides. the cia advert version made me watch was the same. trying to make the life you know full well is not only dull but most of all is degrading, into some epic narrative. bathos.

The bicep looks daft, but it’s also cool knowing SpookyJay36 is committed to a cause

Tweet back about him possibly joining the UVF, how much his work would be appreciated and that it has nothing to do with IVF or womb terrorism

Maybe not the right thread but this opinion piece is interesting:

Liberal Hypocrisy is Fueling Inequality
Blue States*, You Are The Problem: Why do states with Democratic majorities fail to live up to their ideals.


* you probably know but in the states, blue is the color symbol for the Democratic Party, red for Repubs, which I believe is the opposite of the UK's Labour/Tory colors

Jon Ronson and Adam Curtis on the culture wars: ‘How has this happened? Where is the escape hatch?’

As Ronson’s BBC podcast Things Fell Apart begins, the documentary-makers and old friends discuss conspiracy theories, the problem of ‘activist journalists’ and what happened to Ceaușescu’s socks

interviews with Curtis always make me like him a lot less.

 

[version]

They should have cut out all the bits where they talk about themselves and just left the actual culture war discussion, but there wouldn't have been much of an article left then.

 

[version]

This was the interesting bit, for me;

"Yes, these people have got caught up in the great tides of history that have come sweeping over them. It feels real. If you follow people who are acted upon, you start to understand, in a much more sympathetic way, why people do things that you might not like or approve of. You see how someone is led to something, with no idea of the consequences."

RONSON. One thing I've noticed about you is that you're a combination of Jesus and Jimi Hendrix.

CURTIS. That's not true actually. I spend all my time cleaning your underpants.

RONSON. Do you remember that time when we both had ten million pounds each?

CURTIS. Yes but neither of us acted any different.

This is encouraging.

 

[Mr. Tea]

This is encouraging.

I think wanking on about "real people" is the most efficient way to make yourself sound like an out-of-touch member of the elite.

 

[boxedjoy]

every time I hear "culture war" as a phrase, I want to hear it substituted with, "hate speech being tolerated"

 

[Leo]

This is encouraging.

I've said this a million times: twitter/media hysteria about many "culture war" issues is meaningless to most people outside that relatively small bubble. it's not even that they don't care, it's that they're unaware it's even a thing.

when Keef started pmq’s about Rishi’s tax/wife, Penny M’s odds rose like the bookies were all massively aroused

or put another way their odds flipped proportionality between 12:30pm and 13:30, where they remain with PM odds on
