Pinot got punched in the face yesterday?
EDIT: Ah OK, seems it was an accident. He cycled straight into someone handing out nutrition.

My answer would be better if I could find the exact quote from him that I read in the Economist. But when he left the Tories his failed leadership bid, he was quoted as calling the Tories something close to evil. I can't remember the exact words, but It was way stronger than a bit constructive criticism.

My point being that weeks prior he was hoping to ride that same bunch of cretins into power. But what did that matter as long as he could be the center of it all? That's why I consider him a solipsist. It's alway about him isn't it. Everyone else are just badly drawn background characters in the epic narrative that is his very existence.

Rory Stewart can get fucked.
Solipsistic weirdo.

'let them eat cake'

Let them take a gap year

Rishi is just some rich girl's Ken doll isn't he?

Brief interview with the Ineos DC who commented that it was a relief to not have the responsibility to 'control the race' this year.
I think I understand what controlling the race means, but I am sure there is plenty of nuance I am missing. What is your tool chest when it comes to controlling the race? Why is it, seemingly, a mixed pleasure to be in that position?

Menkies walking his bike like a 2008 hipster.

Vingegaard!

I am also open to the possibility that commentators and the twitterati are over-interpreting what is just a harmless misunderstanding.

Can someone explain what seems to be internal beef in EF? Not supporting Cort's chances to go for the break I am told?

blow you're hand off

My limited understanding of this is that you can buy the critical gun parts as spare parts from US websites. Much less likelihood of getting caught if it's just a 6 cm piece of machined metal turning up in the mail. Then you can 3D print everything else and assemble.

This is great to watch. Love the uphill finishes.

What did v. A. get out of this?

Revolutions podcast ending 😢

Hunt will probably win it as a dull competent looking white guy to compete with starmers image.

Wouldn't Raab fit the same description?
I reckon Raab could be a new May or Brown, randomly getting into the job because it just happened to be open. But that unlike those two he could pull off some kind PR stunt that secured his position. Spend a lot of time on the international scene and make the Americans like him for example. Or shower his attention on a particular group, farmers or whatever, to secure a solid base.

Sorry, been out of the pro-loop since before the pandemic.
Who are riders I should look out for in this year's TdF?

So why was this Pincher dude considered a talent in the first place? Even if you take away the sexual harassment, he sounds like an all round useless person.

I agree with Scoobydoble here. An increased baby supply is surely part of the agenda. Unwanted kids are more likely to enter the untrained labour force, but they also provide more soldiers for Jesus' Army during the end times.

Some of you cunts are (like me) probably old enough to remember the fall of the iron curtain and finding out about the absolutely depraved state of Romanian orphanages. Genius Ceaușescu had figured out that to become an even greater leader he couldn't allow for abortions and family planning. The result being a surplus of babies that ended up in a state apparatus unable and unwilling to look after them.
It's weird how this hasn't occurred to me before now, but yeah how long will it be until we hear similar stories from the poorer states in the US? A decade?

Mind you, I am probably overthinking it. I am sure that any day now the Republicans will launch a comprehensive plan for how they will look after all the babies that mothers are unable to care for.

Sorry, a bit behind on the discussion here. But having been the project manager of a fair few large scale outdoor sculpture projects, I'd say £90,000 for the sculpture photographed upthread doesn't seem like an unreasonable cost at all.
For a tall thing like that a good chunk of the expenses will have gone to creating a stable foundation. Surveyors, structural engineers, digging, piling, building the rebar structure, filling the concrete etc. Then you need massive cranes and decent sized work crew to lift the sculpture into place. If the project was managed well they will have used local talent for all of this and as such the majority of that sculpture's budget went into the local community. In the end, the money that was lost on that sculpture probably isn't even a days worth of all the spending on, say, billboard- and radio advertising in and around that community.

I don't know about you

Not me personally, no. More of a general observation/prediction.

So.... Belarus?
Definitely not easy to predict what is going come of their (alleged) calling in of reservists.

There was a time when you just couldn't believe that such an awful and incompetent person as George W Bush could be president. Then came Trump and people shifted to thinking of Bush as a naive but ultimately lovable old goofball. My fear is that we'll get de Santis and that he'll be a manifestation of such pure evil that we'll start to feel the same way about Trump.

Or Ron DeSantis, which is arguably way worse than Trump

A strategic, calculated version of Trump who has the benefit of not suffering from dementia. Has a better eye for the finer details of legislature and how he can turn them to his advantage.
