The government's inaction in this area, while at the same time demanding action from the Arts Council(?) and universities is just beyond bizarre

The single most defining thing Elon Musk has ever done is killing untold numbers of people by having DOGE illegally raid and disband USAID. Not rickets, not cars, not even the CSAMbot on X. It’s this, and so many media pundits just choose to unsee it.

Particularly these days, Reddit can be quite a useful tool for seeing what's cut through from the hyper-engaged to the moderately engaged Polanski's response to the Golder's Green attack, and his subsequent follow-ups, have not gone down well there

Hope the folks at the Times are happy with the role they played in platforming and legitimizing this know nothing bigot propagandist.

Oh don't worry guys we'll have a reaper overhead so we can get video of you hitting the mine we didn't know was there in 720p

I do think it sums up “the weird way the Internet shapes politics unnoticed” that “some chants that people should knock off but are mostly an ignorable part of an in-person march” are given more explanatory power than “the website that is full of antisemitism of every stripe that MPs hang out on”.

Same buddy, same

A serious media system would not continue to platform someone like Melanie Phillips

SCOOP: Prince William has never publicly declared his taxes, and details of how much he pays have never been revealed Until now… www.thetimes.com/article/8b93...

Probably not a great sign that a lot of ‘news’ influencers on TikTok are alleging ‘pro-jewish’ spin by the state and press over the Golders Green attack because of the lack of coverage around the apparent third victim

Pod Save guys taking the Nate Silver path of completely losing their minds because they insist in staying on Twitter.

Taking this in good faith: if the central premise of this piece were true, Labour would be benefiting electorally from the fact that net migration figures have cratered under Labour

Isn't this just Washington D.C.

Elon Musk's case DESTROYED by new testimony from Elon Musk

This is exactly it. Farage is an opportunistic bigot who, at this very moment, is weaponising the terror attack to furth his own racist agenda But isn't wrong to also call out parties and leaders who want to present an alternative when they too engage in bigotry We must be better

Polanski tomorrow, presumably

Instead of banning legitimate protest, it be might worth considering whether it’s just possible that a society which increasingly tolerates open racism and bigotry based on religion, ethnicity and immigration status, is one where antisemitism is more likely to thrive.

*whispers* "Thank you"

Not a great sign for the Greens that they're running into the same issues of bigotry and weak vetting as Reform...

Amazing

Big Pizza does not want you to know this easy hack for Fibermaxxing...

Ice Cube hates Catdog

The recent court case against Meta and YouTube was useful in this regard, as the plaintiffs successfully targeted product design as a core and intentional facilitator of harm If we want to regulate social platforms, a product-first route is probably the smartest way to go

bystanders directly in the line of fire with every shot too. our boys in blue not beating the Paul Blart accusations

Looks like we’re entering Phase 2(?) of the Badenoch Bell Curve™️ - X being ‘public awareness of Kemi Badenoch’ - Y being ‘popularity of Kemi Badenoch’

This, in of itself, is a remarkable statement How many other politicians can say that private donors are supplying them with a lifetime's worth of funding for anything?

Somehow I fear Blair would still manage to make at least 3 political interventions a year even after being buried alive

I'm surprised the C20 society hasn't tried to get a landfill listed at this point

Every ad I’ve seen for this company is spouting some RFK Jr.-esque nonsense

brain baked on X, by an increasingly isolated and poisonous Labour leadership culture, and of course by Belphegor, the demon who lives in the basement of Home Office headquarters and possesses every new minister.

I can't believe they got this interview with the walrus

Worth remembering that we had a very competent and well-regarded US ambassador in place prior to all of this

Morgan McSweeney confirms that Mandelson and George Osborne were the two choices for ambassador to the US, suggesting that everyone in No10 must have been smoking crack.

I'd argue that we actually *do* need more consultation, given this policy proposal has essentially sprung into existence and isn't currently backed up by any research What little data we do have from the Australia ban hasn't shown much positive impact

Is this not what Civil Partnerships are for...?

For years these guys openly called for war. They said protesters should be shot. Their whole thing was sending you memes that said “We are going to kill you” and “You have six months.” But then some guy likes two dozen of my tweets about how Trump is bad and I’m the terrorist. They’re lying.

Spoilers for 'The Sheep Detectives':

Regardless of political persuasion, it's unwise to allow the spouse of a senior government minister to lead a show like this; it undermines the credibility of the broadcast People have been pointing this out for ages - Balls shouldn't be surprised when someone finally raises it to him

Yeah, that absolutely explains why she also stopped by for an interview with the Daily Mail while at the event

Further proof that, for many media figures, criticism is the greatest moral sin of all

See this is an interesting argument to make, given I’d define what Meta currently is ‘as ‘social media’: general media delivered through social platforms This is as opposed to: ‘Social networks’: platforms for connecting existing networks of people (what FB/IG etc used to be)

Not very subtle by the FT – the byline pic gives the game away

Remarkable how accepted the double standard is when it comes to attacking voters. The right can have senior leaders call progressive voters every name under the sun. If some left wing Twitch streamer so much as hints the right aren't all economically anxious saints, we get 150 op-eds about it.

*Slaps Navy cruiser* [several panels fall off]: "Hop in lads, we're going to war over the Falklands again"

I'm very much enjoying Yoshida's decision to go on a 'Jim Ryan is a dumb bitch' tour

If you see your husband/father/friend attempt this, please intervene

It just defies comprehension that the world's richest man is literally a hitlerian figure, got to illegally commandeer the US govt for months and condemn millions to excruciating death, and then just fucked off to make jokes about "show orphans" on podcasts with zero consequences. The mind recoils

Hitchens is almost certainly lying here, given the Mail and i offices are on different floors There’s absolutely no reason he should be sharing a fridge with them

I think a key question for anyone following up on this is: "Okay, would you agree that Labour more broadly, during that period, had an antisemitism problem? Or were those allegations also 'propaganda'?" (with thanks too to Ailbhe for pulling this snippet outside the paywall)
