The consistent theme in Chotiner seems to be that a lot of important, well-regarded public figures either have horrifying views, or that they are so dim and unused to being challenged that as little as one follow-up question makes them look absurd, or both of these things.

Going to say the hack thing, that the Islamophobic molester panic is projection.

Get fucked Gunther

Everyone’s getting their “I was always against this” stories onto google search results

I’ll give everyone one guess at the names of the people that have shorted the company that makes Tylenol prior to this press conference.

I'll trade Americans paracetamol for melatonin.

Going back in time to 1985 to pitch to Hollywood a film about a worm taking over US healthcare by entering the brain of the son of Bobby Kennedy. John Carpenter directs.

Mike Huckabee 🤝 Keir Starmer Gendering Israel as a woman

guarantee wes streeting releases a statement saying he’s looking in to the potential link between paracetamol and autism. 🙄

America's Lysenkoist era

it’s embarrassing that they think what they do is journalism.

oh boy this is gonna get a lot of use in the group chats

Does the rapture start at 00:00 UTC?

Wow more reposting for no reason

Can the Starmerists centristsplain to me not taking a moral stand against mass deportation. Especially when the big fear was "Jeremy Corbyn would reopen Auschwitz"

Over the last 24 hours Reform, with just a single policy announcement, have put fear where previously there was none into the hearts of millions of UK residents. No 10 and the Chancellor have said nothing about the ethics of this. I have no words left for them.

You might think the bizarre spectacle of this very clearly unwell man behaving like a deeply weird obsessive oddball, babbling about “sissy porn” on the witness stand, might have made him untouchable for media culture war bullshit purposes. You would be wrong.

Idk man, seems like you’ve solved your own “political homelessness” all on your own without even knowing it

The *entire point* of pretending to be working like a motherfucker for a two-state solution, while working to help Israel impose its own maximal goals, was that the day would come when everyone could throw up their hands and say “well I guess genocide and ethnic cleansing are the reasonable option”.

Only Israel could link a humanitarian mission with “serving terror”

“This is May Golan. Who's surprised if I tell you that this is the Israeli Minister for Equality? I know it's becoming popular in Germany to call Netanyahu a fascist (good morning), but what about the rest of the politicians? Who doesn't this apply to?”

I swear to GOD if she comes out with some pro-Gambler position we need French style riots going on. We need buildings ON FIRE! This shit is UNTENABLE! The fuckers are making THE TORIES seem reasonable statesmen!

Yet another reason not to headline conferences about "Abundance" featuring this guy's boss & the "deportation abundance" guy, while lecturing Democrats to "Stop acting like this is normal." Maybe this is why you got confused about who was "doing politics the right way"? 🤷‍♂️ bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Loomer's tweet represents the apotheosis of Anglo-Israeli fascism.

This man is one of the campaign’s super volunteers, the nicest dude you’ll ever meet, wildly dependable, and apparently capable of taking the coolest photo of 2025.

The novel thing for many of us outside of the US is having a hybrid regime hegemon constantly messing around in your domestic politics, which is probably extremely familiar to many countries in the cold war.

They are so bad at this.

There's some impressive no talents in the Starmer government, but the JD Vance respecting, "Elon Musk calling for a fascist violent overthrow of the government is good actually", "AI will fix everything", Peter Kyle truly stands out for his unintelligence.

We‘ve lost one of the most foundational unifying aspects of being British: our shared hatred and distrust of everything yank. No wonder we’re all so divided

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

NEW Has the government overreached in using terrorism law against Palestine Action? A disclosed MI5 document indicates that the basis for proscription may be weak By me, at @prospectmagazine.co.uk www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th...

There is no justification whatsoever for this shit.

I fear, dear reader, that the number may rise as high as one thousand, nine hundred and eighty four thousand.

Alright, the proprietor of "The Trump Arms" who has opened the "Charlie Kirk Memorial Debate Room" in his Hammersmith, London pub looks exactly like you expect (like Keir Starmer)

They’re betting everything on “this time even tougher than ever we promise” on immigration to save Starmer. I’d say brace for a proper BNP-style conference speech.

“Sally Rooney could be arrested as a terrorist supporter if she enters the UK” Like read that sentence over and over and reflect on the state of this country

The main story on BBC 6 Music News this morning is that a ‘boat carrying migrants is on its way to France’ Delivered in the same upbeat tone as England winning the women’s Euros. The migration ‘debate’ in this country is unmoored from reality, and the media-political complex is feeding it

"macrohard" jesus fucking christ

the history will continue until morale improves

Say what you will about them but at least Change UK managed to have a Nando’s dinner first

Something the man @mikeduncan.bsky.social will tell you at great and entertaining length is how long it takes for revolts to get off the ground, how often they fail, and how hard it is to predict exactly when they’ll pop off. Slowly and then all at once is a good rule.

The American version of fascism defeated by Nick Griffin going on Question Time and looking a bit foolish

the hiring of Olivia Nuzzi by Vanity Fair makes the new rules of media clear: ❌ lightly criticizing Charlie Kirk ✅ FaceTime fingerblasting with your story’s subject, RFK Jr.

Any. Other. Leader. Would. Have. 20. Points.

Due to technical issues, Your Party is now You're A Party.

Literally fascism. Literally what the Nazis did with Horst Wessel.

boy oh boy i hate how relevant this one is becoming
