F*rage’s biggest allies seem to be Corbyn and Sultana. Fuck them and their pathetic little turf war.

‘we suggest that chief amongst the beliefs implicit in managerialism is the idea that management in itself is of greater importance than the primary activities that are being managed’ (Hussey/Smith (2010): The Trouble with Higher Education, p.20) #HigherEd #UKHE

“We will be by your side from today until the last day.” Athletic Bilbao supporters this evening using the colors of Palestine 🇵🇸

We need to make this historic ruling matter. The United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry concluded that Israel had “flagrantly disregarded” international law and “orchestrated a genocidal campaign for almost two years now”. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/m...

Je ne suis pas Charlie!

We're well into the 1930s by now.

Which is the most disgraceful? Trump meeting with Putin, or Putin meeting with Trump? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Anyone else in a “libertarian” frame of mind today? 💣💥☢️🧟🔫

I got asked to write about the Gaza Riviera Plan + argue it should be understood within the settler colonial logic of elimination + made possible through urbicide and expulsion theconversation.com/the-gaza-riv...

What to say about #Mandelson? One of the most entitled members of the British ruling class it is possible to imagine. So very much in love with wealth, power and himself. Ideal for the Trump brief. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The murder of this right wing thug in #Utah is a disaster. Such a disaster, providing such massive opportunities for a far-right backlash, that one wonders whether it was an inside job.

They call it “trailblazing.” We call it financial crisis rebranded. “This isn’t a merger, it’s a takeover by Greenwich.” @drjogrady.bsky.social told the BBC

BREAKING: They're scrubbing @banksy The court is erasing Banksy's mural just like it's erasing our right to protest.

BREAKING: Israel has launched a drone strike on the secret residence of the graffiti artist known as Banksy. Foreign secretary Yvette Cooper has apologised unequivocally for Banksy's "terrorist artwork" and thanked Israel for the bombing ♥️

"Beyond repair" is obviously the goal. Including electoral subordination and suppression of enough states to carry presidential elections.

Her Gaza platform is not tenable. She echoed Starmer's support for Israel's "right" to impose a food-water-energy siege on Gaza. She can openly apologise, repudiate that position if she wants, but she doesn't get to just walk it back or pretend she never said it. @emilythornberry.bsky.social

Latest Banksy censored. Freeze-peach!

Our elites would sooner take a fascist bullet through the face, or preferably fire a fascist bullet themselves, than tolerate a fundamental challenge to the economically dysfunctional global plutocracy they have so painstakingly built. Establishment elites much prefer the far right. Ask Starmer.

He'll get no credit for this venomous little policy. The racists will be just as angry, their lives just as shit as they were before. If all the foreigners disappeared overnight, they’d still have plenty of people left to pick on. You can’t sate the hate. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

NHS physiotherapist Rachael Moses, who has been working in Gaza, confirms she's seen what other volunteer medics have also reported, that Palestinians have patterns of injuries suggesting Israeli soldiers are playing a game where they shoot victims in different parts of the body each day #GMB

The British ruling class, in all its corruption and epochal failure, has destroyed the uppity working class figure of #AngelaRayner. She really triggered those vile old Tory men. Then, she gave them an inch of rope and they strung her up. Moving to the right with Starmer didn't help her at all.

I'm thrilled to announce that LinkedIn thinks I am a top candidate for "Executive Dean". I'd better practice the lingo. I'm very excited about our gleaming new Pyongyang campus. I regret that we must sack you and take long-distance business class flights. TINA! Inclusion! Empowerment! Resilience!

He's fucked. His media persona revolves around being perceived as harmless, light-hearted. Not bigoted and poisonous. Not so much "cancel culture" as torpedoing your own brand. Now, back to lavish obscurity with you #Rylan. Avaunt! Give us #Jedward instead! www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...

People are melting down at a Tribune article about CHSD 230 considering adding Arabic to its language learning electives. I wasted time in the comments, which I normally avoid doing since it's useless and awful, but it led to possibly the funniest thing anybody's ever said to me about France.

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

The current Tory position on climate change amounts to ‘it’s happening, it’s serious, we have no meaningful plan to address it, and we intend to make it worse’. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Deaths averted by vaccination since the 1970’s

Went to an Afghan pop up restaurant last night- the food was all cooked by Afghan refugees who had settled in my town Amazing food, lovely people, a great night. Thank you Oh, and fuck you Fartage

The demand civility is a very useful weapon for elites, because they cannot be overcome without incivility.

I asked #ChatGPT to revise a paper, instructing it that the paper is tired, intellectually lacklustre and needed pepping up (much like the author). It deleted half the words, changed the argument completely and "Americanised" the narrative. It now looks just like a 2025 student assignment.

Approximately 3.8 million people in the UK experienced destitution in 2022, including one million children, more than doubling the 1.55 million figure from 2017. All this was done to the UK by right wing thugs, who are now curiously obsessed with small boats. www.jrf.org.uk/deep-poverty...

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at the University of Florida have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine that dramatically BOOSTS the immune system’s ability to fight tumors- even WITHOUT targeting a SPECIFIC cancer type. It has the potential to do away with chemotherapy, surgery AND radiation treatment.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders. Aluminum is an ADJUVANT. It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine. That’s it.

I am a huge admirer of Michael Johnson as an athlete and a pundit, but this venture had the stench of failure about it from the outset. Lots of money for the athletes (in theory), low-to-zero stakes for the spectator. www.independent.co.uk/sport/genera...

LIFT THE BAN - SEPTEMBER 6TH We can now announce that the next mass action to Lift The Ban on Palestine Action will take place on September 6th at 1pm, in Parliament Square. We are looking for 1,000 commitments before confirming the action. Register at: www.wedonotcomply.org

OPEN ACCESS - Devolution and democratic engagement in England, by Nicholas P. Sweeney www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

It will be allowed to continue. Everything vice chancellors do seems calculated to accelerate the doom loop and drive swathes of the sector out of existence.

Autumn? Not yet. Heat and drought effects.

The number of times I have written and talked about this, yet it seems the government has no interest The first 40C week-long heatwave is going to bring chaos and many thousands of deaths www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Well done, #Palace! Keep it up. But. Can they do it on a cold rainy night in Burnley?

Yes.

I feel much safer this morning, knowing that all those sign-wielding Quakers and nuns are behind bars where they belong.

Of course they did. What is the point of being an oligarch otherwise? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

How BBC presents the anti-migrant hotel protests vs how we do at @bylinesnetwork.co.uk BBC lead with a Reform UK voter saying "We are not happy with these men in this hotel because we fear for our children” We tell of the refugee children inside the hotel terrified by chants of “send them out!”

Between what the cops in LA are doing to help DHS/ICE and how meekly DC is pushing back against Trump right now, it feels like those pundits who sell “the new localism” have to come up with a new thesis.
