A FUTURE GAME SHOW: “Sorry, Arthur, your answer was correct, but Paul shouted his opinion louder, so he gets the point. And, an extra bonus point goes to Sue, as she was offended by your answer.”
A drawing of a television game show set with three walls behind the host and three contestants behind their respective podiums. One wall is comprised of question squares, another reads: “Facts Don’t Matter”, and the last is blank. The host addresses one of the contestants:
“Sorry, Arthur, your answer was correct, but Paul shouted his opinion louder so he gets the point. And an extra bonus point goes to Sue as she was offended by your answer.”

Dear Men, If your friends tell you they’re gang raping a woman, put a stop to it by any means necessary. Call the cops. Physically pull the men off the woman. Then stop being friends with men who rape women. Sincerely, A Pissed Off Woman

To the people complaining these sex abuse cases have created a world where men now have to think 10 times before they touch a woman. Yes, that's the point. It's called consent. Welcome to human decency.

What my DMs look like right now. Why? Because a woman is suing the 7 men at Cornell who drugged, trafficked, and raped her—and I wrote an article addressing all men and condemning rapists. And predictably—weak men are offended. Here’s my article upsetting them: www.qasimrashid.com/p/cornell-un...

This. When Andrea Dworkin said rape is the weapon that all men use to control all women, she wasn't saying all men rape. She was saying 1. Non-raping men permit rape to be as common as it is 2. Raping and non-raping men use the fear of "other" men to gain "good guy" status a short thread...

A brilliant point. Back in the days when I was on Twitter, I explained to one typical "Uncontrolled (sic) Mass (always undefined) Immigration" grunt that cutting it would entail spending more on our Border Services and Education and Training. His response? 'And raise my taxes further? No thanks!'...

England is a made up thing. It has no basis in the ineluctable laws of nature. Its extent is defined by Edward II getting his arse handed to him. Athelstan conquering York. The Welsh of Cumbria were incorporated, the Welsh of Gwynedd were not. It is a political idea, an aspiration - not taxonomy.

The BBC is pro far right and anti left, because this is the British establishment definition of impartial. These people believe that some powerful group of left wingers actually run everything, and that pushing the far right is a necessary counterbalance.

Hey, News Outlets! How about just ignoring Donald Trump? It will drive him crazy. His parents never gave him enough attention, so he is still a thirsty brat who needs CONSTANT attention. Start the news with "Trump lied again today" and then move on to news about people/things that are interesting.

Piddington's independence ref is being presented as a quaint 'crumpets and muffins' comedy of plucky country folk. It's much darker and nastier than that and shows how deeply entrenched the bigoted 'fighting aged men on boats' narrative runs. Me for @noosphere.app www.noosphere.app/passport-to-...

Passport to Piddington
Last week an Oxfordshire village declared independence from the United Kingdom - ostensibly in protest at a local refugee centre. But is something darker going on?

The RNLI rescued Luftwaffe pilots in WW2 because the organisation is there to 'save life at sea' - it's something to be immensely proud of. But as I've said many times before Farage and Co don't seem to have pride in Britain and its institutions beyond flags and crap Enoch Powell said 60 years ago.

I do urge people to understand that as much as this looks like crackpots yammering and squawking: this paper is thr British ruling class talking to themselves and to each other, and its contents - increasingly deranged and extreme as they have been for years - are generally taken quite seriously.

I cannot tell you how many times I was finger-wagged to my face by very smart, moderate, middle aged people in the 2000s for my childish belief that the War On Terror was a murderously out of control battle tank flattening people for no sane reason. Absurd, infantile, ludicrous! Now look at it.

...and also calling for more tax cuts, and cuts in spending on everything EXCEPT more weapons for the armed forces and police, even if it doubles the National Debt - and then, when a Democrat takes the White House, bleating about how the National Debt is now "unsustainably big"...

True. Trump and Fox spew Islamophobia against good honest humanitarians like Mamdani, El Sayed, Ilhan Omar, yet are fine with Trump and Trump Crime Family selling chips and military secrets, and illegally profiting billions from corrupt, murderous Islamics like MBS and Qataris. The hypocrisy is 100%

For what it’s worth: I voted against independence last time and became increasingly vocal against it thereafter. But there’s only so many times you can watch UK governments being elected that openly hate your guts and go out of their way to say that they do, before you lose the rag.
