Lazio ultras and hooligans have strong links to the far-right, and Romano Floriani Mussolini’s mother is just as fascist. Hopefully he doesn’t make the first team, or takes a strong antifascist position before he does.

It feels like every day something happens that makes me regret joining the Labour Party.

I think I am a bit more of a traditionalist when it comes to socialism

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

That amazing mashup video you posted a link to the other day becomes ever more on point.

Change your name to New
Forget the fucking Labour

When I first heard that song I was reading about how Oswald Mosley moved from Labour to being the leader of the British Union of Fascists. The warning really stood out.

Well that’s off-putting.


This is symptomatic of a strategy which goes chasing votes from groups who already have their own party – the Conservative party,” he said. “You end up with the worst of both worlds losing the support you have already got and not gaining new supporters in sufficient numbers.”

Millions of Texans without power, including us from 2am Sunday to 15 min ago. rolling blackouts for everyone else. Temps around 9 degrees last night. No water in the whole city. public utility commission just gave order for price hike in electricity because of fucking scarcity.
Fuck today. Fuck ERCOT and fuck all the people who decided it was too expensive to harden Texas infrastructure.

ETA: i also got called a karen for asking someone to move their car from the pump. They’d been there 10 min. I was very polite. I kept my temper but fuck that stupid white kid.

And even that’s not an end of attacks on woman’s rights here. Leading anti-abortion activists want to ban abortions even in the cases where mother’s life is in danger.

while the last three weeks were better than the months before, today seems like the despair is coming back.

Only so slightly sleep-deprived that I could constantly distracted myself from WFH today (including BB BBS) ADHD-style, and hated meself for it. I was close to despair, made a break, I fulfilled my family duty (aka: best time of the day), decided I was to tired and demotivated to work at night, opened a bottle of Kölsch to share with some friends (virtually, of course) on the last day of carnival and got a response.

Close friend sent back a pic clearly from his parents living room. Which is not good, in most cases. This time, it really sounds awful. Father diagnosed with NHL, got heart problems during chemo, got defibrillated and is now in hypothermia to “recover”, all within a week. I can’t do anything, can’t even click me a rental and go there, just for a talk, a beer or a scotch. Fuck this day, and the necessary pandemic restrictions in particular.

Fucking fuck of a fuck today. I regret the beer already. And it’s not my day which is shit, really. That family is going through several hells now.
