  1. The album cover is pretty out there
  2. Well it’s not capital summertime ball
  3. Mbuemo is a done deal. Two good signings so far. Even if a little ripped off. Much better than previous seasons

    Im going to do with Carlos & Coco but hoping Djokovic can get a miracle final last win
  5. And he’s performing it at Glastonbury? Should be a big contender for #1 next week
  6. And Labour were a working class predominately party but they are not now. So this is a concept of the 80’s you’re talking about. Not my lifetime. That’s why I added modern left wing populism. Comparing to Cuomo isn’t going to add much since he’s a 90’s style New Yorker with various scandals and a history of achieving little. He was the perfect candidate for a more fringe type candidate to beat at this moment in time. More donors is a silly metric. Anybody representing socialism will get more donors as there is an ideology behind it tons of people follow. That’s like someone appealing to evangelicals. This is nothing to do with working class I would imagine most donors were the group I’m talking about anyway. Walking out among ordinary people? Come on now. This is like a royal saying oh you actually interact with the commoners? You take that ghastly tube to work? This is very normal and standard. Is this really your idea of working class relatability? You have to be kidding me here. Not really seeing the relevance to working class on the Israel questions. It’s a standard New York obsession thing because of the big Jewish population. Yeah of course truck drivers are included but somebody being a part-time barista while they’re at college is probably not most of the time. I think a lot of people cosplay as working class so much they forget what it is. They forget they’re not it. Then they ignore the actual working class and think the issues they’re interested in are working class issues. That’s how the this disconnect exists particularly in left wing spaces and college/uni spaces. Better information environments? Seems a bit of a reach. Everyone has access to the same info. Most people hadn’t heard of him because he’s new and they don’t follow politics and don’t really give a damn. It’s really that simple. Way to miss the point completely.

    Sabrina will now be on 23 weeks just 6 away from the illustrious top 10
  8. Not saying that but the higher the bracket the more his support went up And yeah there are various factors but that’s just a consistent observation over a period of time in a few countries. It’s like there is big gap between what a movement thinks it is from what it actually is. What they think they’re representing and what they’re actually representing are often two different things. Not saying poor people’s opinions matter more but a working class type movement without the working class is not the most authentic image. I always heard left wing populism was bottom up yet everything I’ve ever seen in my lifetime has never shown that to be the case

    The prosecution have dropped numerous charges. Maybe trying to simplify things for the jury to get a conviction but theyve made a mess of a lot this whole trial.
  13. What’s interesting is how modern left wing populism tends to be an upper middle classy elitist type thing and right wing populism now tends to be more a working class type thing. I saw this tweet and it kind of reflects that as well.
  14. The team Bayern beat 10-0 got a draw against Boca

    So the New York Times and CNN are reporting that US intelligence reports the bunker busting bombs didn’t destroy Iran’s nuclear facility at all. Just sealed off the entrances. They’re estimating it may have delayed their nuclear program by a few months but the underground facility is largely in tact and was unscathed. ReutersEarly US assessment suggests strikes on Iran did not dest...An early intelligence assessment indicated that the U.S. military strikes on three of Iran's nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of Tehran's nuclear program and like... So looking like mission somewhat unsuccessful
