A Muslim stopped a massacre of Jews on Hanukkah

www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba... Never in doubt. 😁

The fact is no presenter has ever had to leave the BBC for expressing conservative views, or even explicitly endorsing a right-wing party. Was never a problem for Jeremy Clarkson. Was never a problem for Andrew Neil. Was never a problem for Alan Sugar

I mean, come on. If you’d been asked ten years ago which country would invent an elite class of rabid Toilet Gestapo, it would’ve been between Britain and Saudi Arabia, wouldn’t it. It’s very on-brand, for us.

Shorter thread: Laura Kuenssberg is spreading misinformation and Mary-Ann Stephenson understands neither the law nor her role and can't bring herself to say trans people exist.

It was 22 years ago that I unmasked the highest placed spy for British military intelligence inside the IRA This week, the British state tried to say it was all over It’s not. Justice will remain denied until the army is forced to reveal exactly what it did My story in @heraldscotland.bsky.social

I stand with Robin Ince. If you don't espouse (or at a minimum tolerate) a very specific set of atittudes, you will be cold-shouldered out of UK media if not actively monstered. And the people policing this are the same ones with columns in the broads about how silenced they are.

As he celebrates his 100th Birthday this very day, can we all take a moment to acknowledge that time when Dick Van Dyke won the internet internet. Forever.

I was right. It was a meth lab. Its on the dea's clandestine lab registry. Incident august 4th, 2004. Has probably been abandoned for the last 20 years. www.dea.gov/clan-lab

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

It is IMO striking that Britain managed to be deeply involved in a two decade occupation of Afghanistan that our key ally knew in 2005 - four years in - was certainly doomed, and yet we stuck it out long enough for our special forces to commit a series of bloodcurdling atrocities, then forgot.

Reminder that JK Rowling sees any support of Harry Potter as an endorsement of her political beliefs, and she uses Harry Potter royalties to further her transphobic hate campaign. Your friends and family might not think you're a bigot for buying Harry Potter shit, but Rowling herself certainly will.

Once he bestrode the field like a colossus. Now he's gone. Rest in peace, John Varley. floggingbabel.blogspot.com/2025/12/john...

News is coming to me via friends on Facebook, and via Fancyclopedia, that John Varley, who wrote Millennium, Steel Beach, and the Gaea trilogy (Titan, Wizard, Demon) has died. He was an excellent writer in the Campbell/Heinlein tradition, and I dug him a lot in my teens and early 20s. RIP.

Well fuck. John Varley passed.

He means it as a good thing.

BREAKING: Employee who demand a trans-exclusive toilet policy loses employment tribunal. All claims, direct and indirect discrimination, harassment, and 1992 Regs, dismissed. Judgment: www.gov.uk/employment-t...

Jam and Jerusalem Here’s ‘Jerusalem’. The WI have provided a particular sticky but unpleasantly-tasting home-made jam to go with it. All together now:

Ai has confidently told me that I have two cats named Bramble & Clover, I grew up on my grandmother's farm, I was a ballet dancer before I was a writer, and I've been married "many times". All it came from hallucinated sources; none of it is true. This is just one of the many reasons to resist Ai.

Another way of putting this would be to say that the people the British media recognises and promotes as authorities entitled to speak on behalf of Jewish people are all very right wing cranks, and so they are basically fine with Farage because he too hates all the people that they despise.

This stuff makes more sense once you realise it means “The Thatcherite consensus went kaboom in 2008 and most of our political/media class would rather burn everything to the ground - and has substantially done so - rather than permit an inch of backsliding”.

A half-sane country would not have organisations and businesses having to closely watch inflammatory media coverage of employment tribunals for wormsign: for indications to tell them whether or not they need to build an annexe on their buildings for particular employees to piss in.

Yes, again, none of “democracy or freedom and equality” are compatible with systematically destroying a subject populace of non-people who have no rights, that you have conquered and now rule over and murder with total impunity.

Bravo. More please.

A white British father and son BOTH raped the same child and pled guilty to multiple counts of Sexual assault. This has been in the press for 2 days. The Mirror is the only National newspaper to report on it… And THAT’s why people have such a skewed perception of the links between race and SA🤷🏼‍♀️

The British upper class, barely even bothering to deny the allegations any more

Sam Altman seems like such a subnormal that his dumb toy IS probably better than him at parenting, in the sense that a wire hanger would be a better parent than Joan Crawford.

The R word is not acceptable to hurl as a slur, especially by the President. His followers see it as their cue, though, and now they're bullying the Walz family with it. Do you see what Trump has unleashed?

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it. So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:
