I've looked at this photo a million times and never thought much of the hand in the jacket!

Dude looks like he's about to rob a bank.

This feels more like a poor attempt to be relatable than anything.

I miss Longform, does anyone have recs for good news aggregators?

🤔

Great piece by @graceblakeley on how the government is punishing young people for an economy built to fail them. Labour is really giving a masterclass in how to alienate an entire generation.

"A political class that responds to this crisis of despair with derision or blame does not merit the support of young people. Unless Labour can offer a compelling answer to the question ‘what do I have to be hopeful for?’, they don’t deserve to govern." https://t.co/fKHYIngpY8

“…finessing away active roles, complicities and abuse of access.”

“Out of the sinkholes of journalism and politics rises the journalism influencer. A hybrid, both narrator and protagonist, who scoffs at judgment as either cringe or motivated, and becomes ever more skilled and brazen in detached yarn-spinning…

“It’s really mostly about decay. About Trumpism outside Trump, that heady sense that anything could happen and nothing matters.” Great piece by @NesrineMalik that really gets to heart of the Nuzzi/Lizza story: https://t.co/DkbbJE1Azd

“Although fear of Farageism was shared across delegates, a sense of urgency was not. While speakers were clear about what they stood against, there was little to say about combating Reform’s rise.”

“Your Party seemed less a vehicle to replace Labour as the dominant force of the left than an opportunity to finally belong to an organisation that felt like theirs.”

Woah

“If we’re going to turn over essentially all communication to the Omniwriter, it matters what kind of a writer it is.”

In mere months we went from real enthusiasm to relitigating Soviet economics, which by the way is exactly the terrain the British media feels most comfortable confronting the left on.

The 'nationalize the economy' discourse doesn't feel like it's leading us any closer a socialist political platform with mass appeal. We need to meet people where they're at (👋 @ZohranKMamdani) - these are important debates but should they form the foundation of a new party?

"I'm not going to pretend to be an economist" GOOD! We don't need more technocratic managers of collapse - we need leaders with a moral vision. Economic competence matters, but without a compass, it’s just technocracy for its own sake.

"What’s needed is a politics that treats people not as victims of crisis but as coauthors of what can still be repaired and built." - great piece by @_waleedshahid

"Where others narrate decline, he sees a place worth fixing. That is what Democrats too often miss. A politics built only around fear or opposition cannot inspire; it can only react and manage."
