Being grotesquely rich doesn't mean you're good at anything except taking money off other people and hoarding it. And by definition, that skill cannot work for more than 1 in a million of us. So why the hell do expect wisdom or useful policy from these ghouls? www.theguardian.com/business/202...

And you definitely don't want to use a high-powered 532nm green laser, because it can permanently burn and disable digital camera CMOS or CCD sensors. Green light is absorbed at a very high efficiency by these electronic sensors, meaning concentrated beams easily melt or overload the pixel array.

I know you're not allowed to say this during the current debate, but the reason the left dominates academics, art, comedy, and music is that the right has stupid, discredited ideas, they're not funny, and dull resentment does not make for good art. No grand conspiracy required.

I suspect there's something to this (by @iandunt.bsky.social: iandunt.substack.com/p/clacton-by...)
Why? Because Farage is no Trump. The Reform leader does not posses that ineffable blood-magic, the link between leader and follower, that Trump enjoys. He can secure the support of between a fifth to a quarter of voters, absolutely. But he cannot convince enough Brits to submit their conscience and their independence of thought to his will.

I don’t think this is Farage’s fault. He is really very effective as a political communicator. I think the reason he struggles is because Brits are not Americans. We are basically incapable of sincerity. We are averse to idealism, positive or negative. We do not do religion, and therefore lack a pattern of behaviour in which we relinquish our minds to a spiritual leader. The whole muscle-memory of evangelism, from pulpit bashers to TV preachers, means nothing to us. We do not have a pattern of historic racial politics which slots political debates into a pre-existing us-vs-them narrative.

We are too cynical, too jaded, too keen to mock. These are usually ugly qualities. They prevent us from having serious political discussions and reduce politics to a permanent state of listless pragmatism. But in this particular area it is actually quite healthy. It’s really very difficult to imagine any figure who is able to do here what Trump does in the US.

That’s not to say we’re immune to populism or the extreme right. We absolutely demonstrably are not. But we may be immune to the unquestioning hero-worship and epistemological collapse that we see across the Atlantic. This was a test case for that type of politics. It showed that there was some support for it in his support base, but none outside of it.

Projection so powerful, you could screen the Odyssey in 70MM IMAX from it.
​A screenshot of a social media post on a dark mode interface.
​The main post is by J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling), featuring a blue verified checkmark. Her text reads:
​"I don’t care about individuals. I do care that a former champion of human rights has become what it was created to fight. It no longer champions freedom of speech and belief. It has become the tyrant that persecutes those who don’t espouse what it decrees acceptable beliefs."
​Below this, she quotes a post by Bladesman77 (@Bladesman77) from 10 minutes prior. The quoted text reads:
​"Even if it costs Amnesty a fortune in damages & legal costs, the TRAs who run it will probably face no personal consequences. They may be happy to virtue signal to the trans community with the charity's money. They'd probably also not then change their views or behaviour either."
​At the bottom of the screenshot, the timestamp for J.K. Rowling's post reads:
​"3:30 AM · Jul 28, 2026 · 227.5K Views"

Farage rejected offer of tax-payer security because he “wanted security at the same level as the Home Secretary who has the highest level of protection among govt ministers” Yet, on and on he whines. Demanding the highest public office with none of the scrutiny. liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/464...
Nigel Farage declined offer of taxpayer-funded security
The Reform leader's spokesman told The i Paper it was a downgrade on the state-funded security he had previously received
13 July 2026, 3.10pm 

Nigel Farage, who is routinely accompanied by bodyguards, has claimed to be "the most physically and verbally attacked public figure or politician of modern times"The i Paper has learned he was offered a taxpayer-funded bodyguard, car and trained driver supplied by private contractors.
The offer followed a July 2025 review by Parliament's former security director Alison Giles, and specified that it could be upgraded for more high risk events.
The royal and VIP executive committee (Ravec), responsible for the security of the royals, the prime minister and the home secretary, was brought in to help assess the threat faced by MPs in February 2024.
One parliamentary source claimed Farage was unhappy with the offer as he wanted security at the same level as the Home Secretary, who has one of the highest levels of protection among government ministers. This was denied as "false" by a Reform spokesman who said the leader did not make specific requests.

This point needs to be made over and again: The main purpose of wealth taxes should not be to raise revenue. That's a small and secondary benefit. The main purpose should be to *reduce the fortunes of the ultrarich*. Why? Because those fortunes present a massive threat to democracy and public life.

One way you can show Microsoft your concern is here through the XBOX Player Voice feedback platform: feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/ide...
Yesterday’s layoffs at Bethesda Games Studios were not a cut of “14 layers of management”. We lost dozens of programmers, artists, designers and testers. Many of whom worked at BGS for decades.

If Bethesda fans are worried this will harm the quality of our future games, like TES VI, let Microsoft know!
