The government response to anything Brexit related sounds like a chanting cult at this point.

Not to say Boris Johnson is a liar or anything, but just after becoming PM he made it incredibly, absolutely clear that he didn’t want to have an election before the end of October.

Except now he does, apparently.

There's never been a better time to be interested in British parliamentary process, because we keep getting into another "this hasn't happened in 300 years" or "this can only happen because of an obscure constitutional loophole" scenario at least once week.

Weird how the government argues having a second referendum on Brexit is undemocratic… and that NOT having a general election before Brexit would also be undemocratic.

I’m not sure they know what democracy is at this point.

These'll be the Tories having the whip withdrawn if Johnson follows through on his threat. Some big names here.

No deal blocked. Sanity prevails, for maybe the first time in three years.

Running late because I rewatched/relistened to half the movie all over again whoops. #StevenUniverseTheMovie

I’m not crying you’re crying shut up #StevenUniverseTheMovie

It feels like ages since I gushed about Steven Universe on main so hi, it's an hour before the premiere of the movie, and re-watching some stuff in the run up...

This show never fails to make me feel overwhelming amounts of emotion, more than perhaps any television programme I've ever watched. I can't make some generalised "it changed my life"-like statement, but by gosh it might be the only piece of media that so readily brings me to sweet, joyful tears.

This week is one of great highs and lows as the Steven Universe Movie comes out on Monday, and OK KO comes to a somewhat premature end on Friday.

Such is the duality of cartoons.

Colour makes us hungry.
Hungry makes us human.
Everyone can see it.
Everything's connected.

If autoplaying music when someone landed on your website was still a hot new thing everyone was doing this would totally be my jam on there right now.

And really, given they seem entirely aware at this point that the aftermath of a no deal Brexit will likely injure, kill and result in a generation’s worth of poor quality of life, it’s not far from the dictionary definition to consider no deal supporters political terrorists.

I was musing a couple of days ago that people who take religious and political texts to their most radical extrapolations are usually called extremists or terrorists.

No deal is the most radical extrapolation of the referendum result. No deal Brexiteers are extremists.

We need to leave the EU because Parliament should be sovereign also we need to shut down Parliament because they don’t want to leave the EU.

I am here for bat-themed cakes. I hope the wings stay on! #GBBO

“politicians don’t get to choose which public votes they respect” IT WAS AN ADVISORY REFERENDUM. BEING ABLE TO IGNORE IT WAS PART OF THE POINT.
