My impression is that Trump's brain is so far gone at this point that he's pure Id -- he's just doing whatever makes him feel good. There's no reasoning with him, there's only making it clear that his planned actions will actually make him feel worse.

JD Vance proclaims that all federal police enjoy "absolute immunity" from prosecution for any crime. In other words, Vance is giving the go-ahead for DHS and others to murder anyone, at any time, and without cause, due process, or regard for the safety of others. www.cbsnews.com/video/jd-van...

It's almost impressive how aggressively stupid she is.

"Many, likely most have seen firsthand how their “inferior” social situation is first used as permission for abuse, and then the abuse used as evidence of their inferiority, feeding a self-reinforcing of performative cruelty. "

"Use AI to make your AI-written essay sound less like it was written by AI, and fool your professor's AI-driven AI-detection tool!" What's next... "Send your AI girlfriend to the class on Zoom to study instead of you!" Followed swiftly by "Use AI to tell if your professor is an AI..."

Most terminally online party leader whose brain is clearly rotted by the online swamp she swims in says what?

Someone should do some exploratory work on which direction the causality runs between voting Tory/REFUK, and believing that immigration continues to soar the way it did under the last Tory govt...

morning, all!

There’s so much gender shit flowing out of ICE shooting an innocent visibly queer woman in the face

Saying it three times doesn't make it true.

What are British politicians for if they can't ban a platform that pushes child pornography, fuels violence on our streets and illegally amplifies racial hatred? But sure we regained sovereignty with Brexit 🤪

WTAF is Louis Mosley of Palantir doing on Laura Kuenssberg? Why is an executive of this predatory big data firm, owned & run by far-right fanatics & central to the genocidal machinery of the Israeli state, given privileged airtime on the BBC's flagship politics show? #bbclaurak

Janet Daley is a splendidly perfect summary of the psychosis on the right of politics, vaccilating from endorsement to condemnation, seesawing from hope to cope. And she is doing all this, while continuing to inflate the very same authoritarian blimps, over here in the UK.

The long long history of assuming the global south is a just a handy site to test your theories, political, scientific, medical, social

Every time i go to look for something from this guy some obvious bullshit jumps out. No you did not do 26 million interviews. Boasting about machine learning is not an answer to "data". You are running a bullshit factory

Lol

Hello & welcome to Cain & Hopkins' *Gentlemanly Capitalism* thesis. books.google.co.uk/books/about/...

Things are grim right now but as a reminder of who we are and why we fight, this is the US Women’s figuring skating champion.

I know @mrjamesob.bsky.social will appreciate this. Folks tagging in Grok to show i’m wrong about X and sexualised images. It replies with this….

UK government once again behaving as if this was some weird invisible iceberg.

The Guardian: LLMs making mistakes on physical health is a problem worthy of investigation www.theguardian.com/technology/2... Also The Guardian: LLMs can provide "therapeutic care". The basis for that assessment...? 🤷‍♂️ www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Badenoch is fascinating. So busy fighting culture wars online that she considers the very real potential for the break-up of the military alliance on which the UK relies for security to be a fringe issue.

Can't wait for REFUK to discover that the single biggest drain on the welfare state is pension payments to old white people.

Musk: "Why is the government so fascist?" (10/1/2026) Musk: Calling non-violent people fascist "should be treated as incitement to murder" (26/11/2025) Musk: "Whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you. You either fight back or you die, that’s the truth, I think.” (13/1/2025)

‘I’m just trying to protect women (and I could if it wasn’t for all these fucking WOMEN)’ is pretty much something openly admitted by these people now. Linehan is obviously very unbalanced, but a little like Donald Trump, he’s a useful vessel for what many people are thinking but too wise to say.

Here are the three panelists according to the BBC website: “Joining this week's panel are Zanny Minton Beddoes, editor-in-chief of the Economist, Gloria de Piero, broadcaster and former Labour MP, and Louis Mosley, UK head of US technology company Palantir.” Fucking me, so many dangerous lefties.

Rod Liddle, who admitted he couldn't be a teacher because he would sexually assault children, is slabbering about trans people in the Sunday Times again

Protect women from their own opinions

journalists, many dems, also, too

One century ago this week, the Widows’, Orphans’ and Old-Age Contributory Pensions Act came into force. Like other revolutions, it was discombobulating. But it was a change for good

Unsustainable for individuals, and society. "£15.2 billion of interest was added to student loans last year, while only £5 billion was repaid." Policy of @greenparty.org.uk - #FreeEducation: it is a public good www.thetimes.com/money/family...

who could have predicted that stopping international students, care workers and nurses from coming to the UK would damage the economy/public finances while yielding precisely no political benefits? Oh. Me. [& lots of others obviously]

Example number 4372 of people who have decided they just can’t cope with actual people, and are playing with the output of a machine because it makes them feel better. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

I can still recall all the tut-tutting from the media when Harris made this argument.

In case you’re wondering whether the pro-ICE reactions to Renee Nicole Good’s murder are natural, here’s a comment that was just left on my video. My video about anti-transgender bias at the BBC. I haven’t made a video about Good yet. youtu.be/pWm3dK8tPto

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

Thinking about this once again

Also, its illegal to discuss gender in some American universities now.

“So, what is it that you’re going to DO with those manly balls? I see, hmm, so… in your mouth, moistened with rich creamy milk? Uh-huh… OK, well, do enjoy yourself, won’t you…”

I cannot express how incredibly vapid it is for @chatterton.bsky.social to be essentially resorting to civility discourse when the thing we are talking about is an armed agent of the state shooting a woman to death in broad daylight, confident that his thug regime will protect him from justice.

I'd not seen Naomi Wolf's twitter title line - it's like its own little Ernest Hemingway 6 word tragedy.

Thomas Chatterton Williams is a pseudo intellectual hack and he needs to be reminded of that constantly.

I knew Tyler Cowen was a total fraud when he opposed congestion pricing in NYC. an economist opposing congestion pricing is like a biologist refusing to believe in evolution. direct proof of being an ideological hack and all-around moron

my man, you’re talking about the people who killed George Floyd

On the one side, tens of thousands of heavily-armed government agents enjoying effective legal immunity for all their acts, and being encouraged to treat any public criticism as terrorism; on the other, civil society. Tough call, if you’re a reactionary centrist…

This guy was professor of sociology at the University of Bristol as recently as 2021, and before that (up to 2018) was professor of sociology at the University of Bath.

They're wrong. Next question.

Ladies and gentlemen: The Daily Telegraph.

This doesn’t make sense on its face. X doesn’t do what Twitter did any more. It pushes fascist abuse in people’s faces, by algorithm, at the orders of its master.

No, I will not “shut up” about “AI” being an ecology-wrecking fascist grift, and honestly I judge anyone who asks me to do so.
