Amazing how quickly transphobes move on to just being full-time reactionary shills.

facebook served me this AI right-wing meme which seems to exist in a world where yosemite sam and elmer fudd are gay, married and are raising bug bunny's children

.....and what normally happens to those empires that launch ill-considered wars of choice in central Asia?

They shouldn't make a new Bond at all. They should make a spin-off where Pussy Galore and her band of cool 1960s lesbian pilots solve crimes.

Ice Baths are one of tjose amazing insights into masculinity grifting. They don't work. They're actively counter-productive for both recovery and muscle growth. But they're miserable enough to fit with the Masculinity Grifter's fetish for meaningless suffering. To shiver is to be a man, apparently

It should be illegal to have a terrifying headline for an article where the third paragraph quietly tells you that the entire premise of the article is basically false.

Especially as, if 2024 is anything to go by, Farage will completely walk it - and I don't think the Tories can really work as the anti-Farage choice for all those Labour, Lib and Green voters. I think he'll reduce his majority significantly, though, which will be embarrassing for him.

My favourite artefact of that discourse was that one 5e monster manual with the goblinoid swastika.

Perhaps we could do with a Net Zero Climate Zealot, all things considered...

Quite a juxtaposition. Maybe if we installed a few more left wing Net Zero zealots we wouldn't be in this mess.

And not just for ambiguous or complex films, either, where there could be some measure of interpretation. Like, you watched the action on-screen. the characters explained what they were doing throughout!!!

🎯. Excellent piece in the LRB this week from Stefan Collini on the plight of our universities - a detailed reckoning with the reality of a sector in crisis.

Simply not good enough by the Green Party. Their candidate was an avowed antisemite in posts only a few months ago. Dodging the accountability by saying he resigned for 'family issues' is cowardly. Kick him out and make an example of him; and fix whatever vetting system let him run.

I mean, I live in the gym, I get it! But the pressure is immense for young lads and this stuff is p easy to get hold of. A dangerous cocktail.

It's the only media source where a super-majorty of the audience seem to vote for one party... A non-stop hose of misinformation, just as Fox News in the US.

I think about the Ed Miliband bacon sarnie thing a lot, because it really does show how you can create a narrative about someone that is bereft of any substance. Everyone looks ungainly eating a bacon sandwich. But we don't get pictures like this of Farage or Johnson on the front page of The Sun.

One of the most irritating things about my local Tory MP is he loves a little photo op where he claims to be taking action on pollution in the local stream, and then in his actual parliamentary career he votes against measures to limit pollution 100% of the time.

In the UK the Far Right is functionally a movement entirely of Gen X and Boomers. Despite all the articles about radicalised young men, they aren't the main constituency of the contemporary far right at all.
