A father and his son are in a car accident. The father dies at the scene and the son is rushed to the hospital. At the hospital the surgeon looks at the boy and says "I couldn't vote for Kamala Harris"

How can this be?

youre so real for saying this

when the labour party purges you you're supposed to stop existing. to continue to take part in elections voting inline with your previous convictions is not only rude, it's anti-democratic.

im not asking for every labour voter to apologise, but at least say oops.

What an overly pretentious, drawn out and culturally disconnected article. Luke hortons 'art work' is not special, it isn't something to celebrate. It's something a child could make. What makes a city unique is having unique culture and phlegms work was far more inspired and unique then this that like hortons work is.

QUOTE Phlegm’s artwork feels chaotic and detached, the marginalia of depressed monks. They’re rich texts. But what they don’t say is: We love Sheffield. END QUOTE No, they don't say "we love Sheffield". Because they're a part of the Sheffield that we love. It's not self-congratulatory narcissism, it's genuinely inventive oddness.

My thin veneer of neutrality on the Luke Horton vs Phlegm debate has lost me the support of r/Sheffield.

actually kinda grateful we dont live in the alternate universe where billionaires stole everyones data and creative output and used it to make a tool that actually works and people find useful. imagine contending with that

its instinctual. we yearn for crumbs.
