Just got an email from a scam academic journal asking if I wanted to "explore new advances in White Psychodrama" and it's just got me like: buddy, I can watch the news myself.

Is it really *that hard* to say that it is totally morally wrong to say to people who have come here legally, worked, paid taxes, built their lives here, contributed to Britain, that they have to fuck off now, rather than "unfunded".

when your job suggests doing an "AI hackathon" just so folks can learn how this stuff works, the bosses are trying to get you to train your replacements. Then they can fire you and rehire/hire a few humans to supervise the AI at a lower pay rate and much higher client load.

....people do not understand the distinctions between "asylum seekers" "permanent leave to remain" or "illegal immigrants". Its a racial animus. When theyre imagining an immigrants theyre imagining people of colour that they do not like, many of whom are full citizens.

what do you mean he was a grifter, they're all grifters. are you saying funerals don't usually have a number you can text to order merch

Why on earth would you try to litigate these arguments in public?

went to a very glam wedding yesterday. look how glam we are.

Turned up for a brutal leg day only to realise I dont have my headphones. I dont know what's worse - listening to the gym's music or hearing the grunting I do on a big lift. Send thoughts and prayers please

Pretty clear illustration of "you may as well stand up for what you believe in, they're coming for you anyway."

It's funny to advocate for AI as part of a 'growth mindset' when there's already evidence (albeit pre-print) that using generative AI is corrosive to your own intellectual abilities. (Kosmyna et al 2025) arxiv.org/pdf/2506.088...

The incompetence from "Your Party" is actually breath-taking. Sultana and Corbyn are now openly issuing contradictory public statements; there's a membership portal that is apparently illegitimate (?), and the incoming conference remains a chaotic mess of random lottery.

"perhaps I am guilty, or toxically male, but I can't help believing them" Andrew Tate offers an online course in how to do the exact form of violent sex-trafficking he is accused of doing. He is on camera in multiple forums *explaining how he does the crime that he is accused of*.

you know I wouldn't say I had high hopes for "the Spectator interviews the Tate brothers" anyway but somehow the piece is worse than I thought it would be

If you spent even one second of the last decade indulging the free speech claims made by the American right in earnest, I genuinely think you're lacking in intelligence. I do not think you have what it takes to deliver sound commentary on American politics.

Genuinely, peep that Spotify /YouTube and you will have a clearer sense of his politics than any single question you could ask.

What could they have done that would result in worse numbers than this? Make Crazy Frog the National Anthem? Execute David Attenborough on national TV?

They predicated their entire strategy on economic growth they didn't deliver and sacrificing everything to appeal to people who will never vote for them and well, here we are.

Ta-Nehisi Coates on Charlie Kirk’s record. archive.ph/2025.09.16-2...

Defendants are being big meanies to me 😡

www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi... I talked about the 'Peter Gordon' photo in a talk I gave at Midlands History Forum in 2023, and many History teachers will be familiar with it as a startling exposure to the brutality of chattel slavery. What a sad post-script that it is now censored.

all those years of arguing with morons finally came in useful

Charlie Kirk was a notorious antisemite. Kirk said "Jewish communities have been pushing the exact kind of hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them...the philosophical foundation of anti-whiteness has been largely financed by Jewish donors in the country.”

boy howdy am i tired of the daily "man who sells Thing says Thing very important" tech story

imagine getting qt dunked by ed davey. unrecoverable. you’re furious and he is serenely going down a log flume in bognor regis.

It feels so fucking insane to be scolded about how leftists need to tone down our rhetoric while the world's richest man endorses this shit

The discourse is all around deradicalising young men and the crisis among young men. The discourse would be much better targeted if it was about deradicalising boomers (and increasingly Gen Xers).

He's trying to appeal to s constituency of voters at a rally that called for his overthrow and assassination. Political calculus aside surely there's a moment where that becomes untenable as a basic element of self-respect.

good that Keir has broken his silence this morning to ... continue posting on a website run by a man who yesterday addressed a far right rally to call for his overthrow, while not in any way addressing said far right rally

We are hurtling towards bloodshed in the streets, and the British state seems basically indifferent to the prospect of doing anything at all to stop it.

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

what is happening here

Been drawn into a few deeply stupid Instagram exchanges recently and my favourite thing about them is the amount of people who think "I notice you are extremely jacked" is some kind of crushing bon mot.

His major innovation was transmuting billionaire dark money into targeted harassment campaigns against academics. We should be capable of reconciling that this was murder and that he was a bad faith hack. There's nothing ennobling in a bullet. Assassination doesn't edify its victim. Grow up.

He didn't debate! He used his microphone and platform to berate teenagers at events on campus. No one else could prepare. There was no chair. He cut people off on a whim. Content aside - and the content was noxious - Kirk was a rent-a-gob hack propagandist and its absurd to pretend otherwise.

An antisemite shot two kids in Colorado, at least one of whom is Jewish. The White House “fighting antisemitism” doesn’t care, because the shooter was a student radicalized online into far right beliefs, which the regime is cool with, rather than a student verbally criticizing Israeli govt policy.

BLITZER: Now we’re getting reports that one of the bullet casings was engraved with a message saying that if you are reading the casing, you are gay. We must warn our viewers we’re about to show the photo and don’t know at this time whether the engraving is what makes you gay or if it just tells you

...shame they're not getting it, as it requires you to be chosen by a woman. Not their strong suit eh.

don’t think it’s good that we live in a society where a lot of young men want to be famous on the internet and have easy access to guns

Or that his politics are incomprehensible brainrot! That's far from uncommon.

I wonder if there will be any apologies or retraction if it emerges that the shooter is, in fact, yet another 4channer with white nationalist politics.

This hurts my soul - my heart axtuslly ached reading this, thinking of the future generations of knowledge that will never be, of students unable to specialise in languages, pursue music, read Latin, take up English literature, become an Art critic, write history. This is how cultures wither & die.

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

That's at the heart of this. Right-wing stochastic terrorism has been the background music of American politics for decades. It is dog bites man. So no one cares. It's not a story.
