I also think (though this one did not surprise me personally as much, I think its hard for others) many don't understand centrist extremism. Our use of "moderate" to denote both the centre of the spectrum and a psychological disposition of being relatively chill is actually seriously misleading here

If you want to be really sad and angry or are unfamiliar with med beds you should listen to this.

I recently subscribed to QAA and came across that episode in the back catalog like a week or two back... It is really horrifying that this is going to embolden those grifters. Truly the scum of the Earth.

Something particularly greasy about how low the overhead can be. Tesla Biohealing was selling services with zero tangible products at one point (They seem to sell "biohealing canisters" to their licensed centers now), and the storefront was a wholesaler for aspiring grifters who wanted brand backing

With this ringing endorsement, if you'd like to understand what deeply evil nonsense the literal President of the United States is promoting now please do listen! on.soundcloud.com/0SJT1Mcqx8ks...

Everyone always asks me what my favourite conspiracy theory is but medbeds is for sure the saddest, I really can't think about it for too long. Just openly preying on the hopes of very desperate people

Why did these women not simply apply for asylum in the UK using the HM Government Online Portal? BECAUSE NO SUCH THING EXISTS. Because you have to be *physically* in the UK to apply for asylum and you can't get here on a plane or ferry. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Love an American baking recipe where they just give up and admit that "cups" are an insane way to measure anything

“The Gospel of Christ must never be co-opted to support the messages that breed hostility towards others. Its message never legitimises rejection, hatred or superiority towards people of other cultures.”

it’s so rough to be a republican and a republican at the same time 🥲

"In a technical paper Winnicott described the “primary maternal preoccupation” upon the birth of a child as a specific post-partum state, so hypnotic and total that it “would be an illness were it not for the fact of the pregnancy."" www.ft.com/content/a248...

I think the Tylenol thing might have more impact over here than people think. Trust for Trump is low here so we assume it won't but, a bit like with infant vaccines after COVID, the primary impact isn't people becoming hardcore refusers so much as internalising there's a potential risk and deferring

Blackpilled should probably become the default assumption in these cases until thoroughly proven otherwise.

In year 8 the civil war was taught by an obviously pro-royalist teacher who then asked us if we thought Cromwell was a hero or villain. Being the only 1 in my class who was immune to propaganda, I alone stood up for 'hero'. THEN she told us about what he did in Ireland. Stitched me up like a kipper

A BBC investigation finds asylum seekers trapped in dilapidated hotels, spending years in administrative limbo, indebted to criminal gangs and yes, moved arbitrarily so that they have to take taxis across the country for routine GP appointments. Government response? Stop the taxis.

If I was God I'd rapture some really unlikely people along with The Faithful, just to get people talking

I don't mean to bully anyone, but I'm really struggling to model the mind of a teenage girl who's "always wanted to meet Dan Bongino"

This reminds me of some time during 2016 or so when they kept on hyping up a day they'd invented called "The Triggering" on Twitter. They were making little posters for it and everything. Then the day came and they just posted all the stuff they usually post

I used to think Linehan was being egged on by other users online who didn't know him, but that people in the media could largely see that he wasn't well and were responsibly steering clear. Turns out I gave them too much credit

Gen X men realising there's a topical reason to post a Judean People's Front joke

ubiquitous personal recording is being normalized by a few factors: 1) content creation as an aspirational career for kids. 2) content creation as a popular tool for marketing and brand reputation. 3) increasing social fear and distrust, with video seen as a guarantor of one's safety and/or rights

Really enjoyed listening to @annieknk.bsky.social's QAA episode about Graham Hancock a few months ago. Have no idea how the Labour Party should respond to this. Anyway,

Not a fan of stories about men like this. I hope a woman who believed in The Cause rejected him afterwards to keep him humble

If Labour admitted there is a genocide in Gaza, it would have to admit its own hand in it | Owen Jones

I kind of envy the transvestigators who are so deep in the game that they're not even really political anymore. Like when anything happens and everyone's rushing to analyse it from a left/right perspective they're just doing what they always do, pulling out their skull templates

Every woman who has ever had a job knows how it feels when you find out that a male colleague has been talking about what it would be like to have sex with you, or imagining the degrading things they would do to you. Depending on your perceived attractiveness this is either presented to you as

So I know the racism and misogyny is the bigger deal here, but seriously how old are these people?

Bishop Irenei of London:

It must have been wild to see someone so Twitter-pilled in real life www.newstatesman.com/politics/202...

Pastor going around greeting everyone and being generally nice before reading a lesson from Jesus about how to be nicer, and the marble bust avatar guys walk out not hearing a single slur like

Online trads going to church for the first time and finding out it's not an IRL version of their personal Based internet club always cracks me up

people started pointing out this would be the easiest lawsuit of all time against the doxxing website that was revealed to be launching with a crypto rugpull and completely rebranded lol

meanwhile, what the right is currently doing, creating a database of progressives who committed wrongthink so they can be harassed, is not a "reaction" to cancel culture. it's just what the right does. I was put in one of these databases years ago simply for working at a nonprofit the right disliked

It's not just the violence they need to condemn. It's the politics. They condemned the violence last summer and then spent the entire subsequent year pandering to the politics. That's why we are where we are.

I wrote about Jeffrey Epstein’s birthday book. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

So glad you guys got your party back from those nasty extremists!

Want to be clear that the predictable violence against the police wasn't the only problem with yesterday's march It's that 100,000 angry racists gathered in London for the biggest racist march in 50 years, and anyone not white had to steer clear The govt can't see that because they are inadequate.

the charlie kirk/ben shapiro mode of public communication is best understood as a form of insult comedy and has far more in common with something like kill tony than anything resembling actual debate

"Que podo consultar para entender isto?" It Came from Something Awful (Dale Beran, 2019) Culture Warlords ( @swordsjew.bsky.social, 2020) Qualquer episódio do QAA podcast sobre temas adjacentes, especialmente aqueles com a @annieknk.bsky.social e a @livagar.bsky.social www.qanonanonymous.com

Also even putting the content of his speech aside that's not at all what he was doing! He was following the Shapiro model of provoking a reaction of frustration or outrage so he could clip it for a "COLLEGE LIBS OWNED BY FACTS AND LOGIC" compilation, not earnestly trying to persuade people

@jakerockatansky.bsky.social and the other QAA podcast hosts did an episode on the politics of Helldivers 2 18 months ago. What looks like a random topic to cover ends up being a prescient warning of trouble brewing. Bizarre meme culture claims another shooter www.patreon.com/posts/101397...

Well that's it. I'm going to be doing M Night Shyamalan's The Village as a parenting strategy

The QAA Podcast is the most comprehensive and useful reporting on all this madness. www.qanonanonymous.com

Each alleged mass shooter is even more On the Computer All the Time than the previous one. Probably nothing to worry about there

STARMER: hey I'm appointing this close friend of the world's most notorious paedophile to be US ambassador :) BRITISH PRESS: ok :) [One year later] BRITISH PRESS: wait a minute

Ok but being totally fair, OG manosphereheads will know that "rightwing writer" barely scratches the surface with Forney lol
