US soldiers opened fire on a group of mostly unarmed women children and elders in the Wounded Knee Massacre slaughtering over 300 Lakota civilians. Survivors witnessed troops chasing down children running away to butcher them. Only a nazi regime would want to honor that

Opens tonight in Middlesbrough!

There's a massive crossover between terfs and antivaxxers. Very few people believe in just one anti-science paranoid conspiracy theory

2029 Wes Streeting LOTO: "Prime Minister Farage needs to get a grip on the construction of Britain's behind-schedule and over-budget concentration camp infrastructure"

If you're not totally aware of how bots try to sway minds, here's a good example.

Lib Dems also falling into the bullshit of "if we resolve the asylum backlog efficiently, we defeat Reform". Reform don't care about the 'asylum backlog' outside of it being a tool. It could be 0 people and it wouldn't matter as long as there are people of colour in the UK. That is the end goal.

Doing a stall at @bookfairldn.bsky.social today until 6pm, Leake Street Tunnels, underneath Waterloo Station

Okay so, the problem is elite radicalisation: the people in charge have driven themselves completely insane, with online. How should we resolve this problem of a very small number of people who are plaguing millions, with their tiny, insignificant elite concerns?

I made an alternative cover for JK Rowling's new book, The Toilet Constable. Coming soon to a bad bookshop near you... Print file can be downloaded from my website: www.spellingmistakescostlives.com/single-post/...

Every pundit who took at face value the idea that the Right sincerely cares about free speech, or ideological diversity, or in fact has any principles at all, should be wearing a dunce cap and writing a lengthy mea culpa right now. Not for our catharsis but for public awareness at least

hey so this is insane

Marketing LLMs to consumers as an omniscient sandbox everything app will come to be seen as one of the most irresponsible preventable social disasters in the history of business. I don’t even know what to compare it to.

Netanyahu: “of course we didn’t kill Kirk, what do you think he was, a Palestinian children’s hospital??”

Damn I thought girls loved living under constant threat of the most alcoholic parent in the district demanding they prove they have a vagina

Surely there must be a simpler way of telling people you're an anti-anti-fascist

The richest man in the world giving a speech to a mostly working class anti-migrant protest to tell them to hate migrants more is quite an on-the-nose demonstration of how racism was invented by the elite in order to serve elite interests.

In such a crowded field it can be tricky to keep tabs on precisely who the worst people in the Labour party are, which is why I subscribe to the Labour First mailing list. I barely knew anything about Bridget Phillipson, but with this handy update, I now know she's a total wrong un.

1/ Palantir signs deal with UK government & will "invest £1.5bn" in UK defence sector. This on the same day that @amnesty.org calls on all states to cut ties with #Palantir in view of its close links to Israel's genocidal war machine. uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/us-firm...

Found this old project from 2018 where I was trying to calculate how much money a newspaper makes when it reports on human suffering

Remembered this one, where everyone fully understood McCluskey was referring to Peter being corrupt as fuck - you see now that they all knew this was correct - but the lads were having so much fun squealing in terror, they just figured Fuck It and went with it anyway metro.co.uk/2020/10/20/u...

republicans really want to do the holocaust so badly dude someone should probably do anything at all about that

coates is genuinely a generational writer

His brand of it is particularly garish but all authoritarianism is basically government by spoiled child. No capacity for or interest in any principles. People who are nice to me get treats, people who are mean to me get abuse. I get what I want or I cry and thrash. Embarrassing

I think the neoliberals of the peak neoliberalism ascendant era actually had a story in their heads, they could explain to you why this was smart (which doesn't mean they were correct). A generation later, you can't get an explanation out of Rachel Reeves, she's just performing holy incantations

Maybe Ezra Klein should have asked Ben Shapiro about his friend and fellow Daily Wire podcaster, Matt Walsh, who is calling for the death of everyone on the left and LGBTQ people.

Even now, the Independent is producing editorials that bemoan Israel's genocide primarily as a tragedy for Israel. Including performative naivete like this: www.independent.co.uk/voices/edito...

“New Sickos Yes…hahaha…yes” just dropped

I can't believe that's the line. Does a single person on earth, including Patel, believe that

CN: racist abuse

God after finding out that Cain killed Abel:

Woodward: (crashing through the door, reading frantically off printer paper) Carl, Greta Thunberg just posted a photograph of herself on Instagram sitting next to a stuffed octopus Bernstein: (taking feet off desk, putting down coffee cup) My god

The media have done a great job of laundering Charlie Kirk's reputation. Work colleague mentioned him, wasn't he only interested in getting students interested in debate, etc. Argued the point otherwise but almost impossible to deal with swamp of disinfo coming from even the centrist media here.

Funny way to advertise investing in something that no one wants to use

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Weird way to present promo interviews with a transphobic author on their own website.

If an effective counter-movement to the Right fails to coalesce before the next election, it will be in part because Morgan McSweeney took the primary political organ that could have united people and reduced it to a cynical right-wing clown car that now has neither credibility nor any constituency.

This is five times the number of people who die each year worldwide from all causes.

Very cool that the richest man in human history purchased a social media platform so that he could more efficiently incite vigilante violence

what we’ve seen from the right is the most insane case of cancel culture i’ve ever witnessed. the left has never even done close to a fraction of a fraction of what they want to do now

What happens when the first Palestinian flag appears at Rock Against Racism 2025? Will the lads just let it slide in our shared interest in defeating the far right, or will they all join the Times, the Telegraph and the Mail writhing on the floor in terror and roaring abuse.

Shot, chaser Young men more likely to vote Green than Reform. Young men second most progressive group of any demographic. Combined right-wing vote barely bigger than Green vote alone for young men

Remarkable how centrist pundits like Noah Smith are still prattling on about "cancel culture" and "Bluesky-ization" while people are getting fired for insufficient mourning of a bigoted liar who constantly directed hatred towards the majority of Americans.

Oop.

Years they've been doing this stuff. YEARS. And still some think it was a 'mistake' or 'irresponsible'. It was deliberate. Every trans person knew before it happened what they would do and they did it. YEARS.

It's worth asking why every elite institution is issuing statements like this rather than pointing out the obvious fact that the institutional right commits and glorifies violence far more than the left. Is there a reason you feel you can't say that out loud? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/10/o...

Also…amazing how quickly we went from a post Adolescence “how can we protect our children from online misogyny and extremism?” to “Charlie Kirk was a political activist” 👀
