Christmas in July.

To be fair, the entire media had to give 24/7 coverage to a distrubed guy who'd already been arrested for planning to kindap a daytime TV presenter.

Do a livestream of him at a Blackpool casino to illustrate the strain on the average Anglo’s budget.

I'd support this if he was consined to a former hotel turned local council used B&B full of black mold and other issues, with an expenditure at the minimum of what he repeatedly voted for (against housing benefit, against welfare in general, against cost of living rises for people reciveing benefits, against disability benefit increases). And if he failed he faced the same consequences.

Perhaps it's sematics, but I don't think she was ever really on the left (even in the US-centric online space) and she's spent the last couple of years entwined with the Democrats and punching left agains even mild US-soc dems. Even within an American politics online person capacity I'd argue she's already in her post-left pivot and will only go further.

"Red Scare or Amy Terese" should not be the benchmark.

I'm not trying to be a dick, but who could have possibly predicted that?

And then naturally the move is to double down on a load of scratched lib shit and democrat punching left.

Personally, if I was fucked over by the machinery of a political party that I (somehow as a supposed leftist) didn't see coming, that might inspire oppositon in me rather than establishment media oppurtunity.

True, but if only there was some way for her to realise that the Hollywood machinery of the Democratic party might use her... If only her naivety didn't force her to embrace that oppurtunity to be an apologist for the worst of the status quo and box her into being a post-left grifter. If only...

My local was flooded with ecstatic out of town removed earlier than scheduled. So this went on repeat as I left until the prebooked band was ready. Election day is a fucking nightmare.

Also, it's an all time depressive banger. A great late cynical era Bruce Springsteen song perfected into a dark pop dance ballad by the Pet Shop Boys.

And don't even get me fucking started on proximity locking. Absolute nightmare.

"Islamo-Leftism" is the new Judeo-Bolshevism, originally propagated by open Neo-Nazis and fascists and now the mainstream belief in French and German politics.

That's legit kind of good. Should follow it up with a Gitmo post.

Meanwhile I'm over here on the other side of the pond where today will mark the official start of the Starmereich and we somehow become even more of a US puppet.

Gaining some online following as a left adjacent figure because they were attacked be right wing trolls. Turning out to be a spoiled lib, getting criticism for dogshit takes and soft-bigotry, and so pivoting to a post-left grifter (and in the case of Brianna Wu, linking up with Nazis).

I'm going to the pub to watch the England match again (for some reason) so here's a warm-up tune.

It's laser focused satire of a particular kind of English footy bloke.

And for non-Brits here I imagine it'll be like trying to understand something between a magic eye and iceburg of British lad culture.

I was expecting some sort of 'emergency' Chapo episode but it seems that Felix was taking a break from gaming and shopping for fighter jets to spend the night hanging in a Waffle House. Clearly he wasn't too impressed with Joe's performance, so I guess that's a sneak preview of the next episode.

Biden campaign HQ hype campaign after the debate:

Biden comes out seemingly completely unaware of where he is, while his wife talks to him like a dog.

Jill Biden: "Joe, you did such a good job! You answered every question! You knew all the facts!"

(He absolutely did not, of course)

Doesn't let him respond, just let's him grin mindlessly, while she tries to whip up thr base about the fact that Trump lied.

Biden's face goes back to confusion when the crowd stop cheering and shout "lie" about Trump as though he has no idea who or what they're talking about.

PodBean has gotten shitter and shitter, randomly stopping play when not on screen.

Google has just announced its taking Podcasts out behind the woodshed so you can pay them for YouTube Premium to watch video podcasts in the background in your pocket.

I just want something simple, free or a one off purchase, that is friendly to copying Patreon feed links etc.

Suggestions appreciated, although I still don't relish the idea of refollowing 50+ feeds again.

I'm the king of shouty things and wishing I was in the Budos Band now. It's still dead good though.

So much better than it probably should be. Some great dialogue sample choices too. Even the EQ/tracklisting video is slick.

A certified oddball banger.

More than 20 years ago British rap was giving way to an increasingly northern move that included J Cristie who, despite a shit line about China and a few dodgy refs, put out relentlessly anti-imperialist UK hip hop for his short, but very solid dominance of what remained of the backpack/conscious UK rap scene.

The next record (2006) brought a sequel to The Grip, written - in part, with some broader context - from the sympathetic perspective of a young auicede bomber. Naturally the UK paying attention shit itself and the rest happily ignored it.

So why is this back again (for fhe feed)? In the UK and online people have spent the whole week being bemused or insensed about Galloway winning an election and becoming a British MP. They reference some shameless performances or reality TV. People on the left rightly reference his chameleon status, socially conservative leanings, and recent TERF shit.

But you know why he won a protest by election? You know why he's not just sampled but distinctive contextual sample for one of the most important non-grime records in 2000s music? Because he was and is one of the only public personas in the UK who has been constant on this issue.

The fact that fucking Galloway was who got endlessly sampled then and is getting elected now is fucking shit, but an example of how much worse the UK was and is in general.

But no-ones reading this anyway on a post about 20+ year old BritHop. So why not ramble?
