it’s just insane to me that one rich asshole (musk) can throw the entire global democratic order into chaos, whether by election interference, promulgating white nationalist hate, or generating revenge porn, and no one in a position of political power anywhere is willing to a goddamn thing about it

The Times was right behind Trump in his first term, cheering him on and denouncing his opponents as elitist leftist swine who hate the working man, right up until that torchlit Nazi march where that fascist killed that girl. Then it all went sotto voce. No such concerns, this time.

If they want to do something truly meaningful the should permanently ban all horse racing. Period. While they’re at it they should ban animal exploitation of any kind. That means you, SeaWorld. Yes, you too, animal agriculture.

Most police or security anywhere will batter/shoot/etc. other people at the drop of a hat. It is, after all, one of the great perks of the position, and one which is extremely obvious. There aren't any magic exceptions. It's just what they do.

I don't know what to say about this other than that it feels like the annihilation of the human spirit. There's no possible compromise with ICE or the people who support them, and even if there were a possible compromise, it would be immoral

Many of those who complain about mining for batteries / solar / wind power have curiously never raised a squeak about the far greater extraction required for fossil energy. Funny how they become concerned about the planet only when fossil fuel interests are threatened.

This is terrible behavior by FarmKind, many are already saying. I don't actually think most people buy this framing, but never underestimate how good permission structures are at soothing deep defensiveness around eating animals
FarmKind graphic on a yellow background titled “Who made the better choice this January?” comparing a “Veganuary participant” vs a “Top competitive eater.” Left side lists: “Had to plan every meal,” “Checked every ingredient,” “Gave up her favourite food,” “Annoyed friends and family,” “Felt guilty for wanting meat,” and says “Helped 22 animals.” Right side shows a competitive eater with a “WINNER” badge and lists: “Ate whatever he wanted,” “Did huge eating challenges,” “Offset his meals & added £5,” and says “Helped 38 animals.”

Let's be clear - not ONE of the Palestine Action hunger strikers have been found guilty of a crime. They haven't even been tried yet. They are being held on remand charged with terrorism offences. They have not been found guilty. As such they are legally innocent. And dying in British jails.

This happens *all the time*. Cops do what they want and it doesn't even occur to them that they might need a legal basis for their actions until they're actively challenged - and even then they carry on regardless.
When police surrounded her and asked her to put the sign down she asked them what legislation they were relying on. She said she was told officers were finding out the answer, but was not given an explanation and was arrested, searched, bundled into a police van and taken to Bromley police station.

It's very obvious that if any other prominent politician had been so racist in school that it's haunted 20+ former classmates ever since, it would be treated like a bigger deal. We should examine how and why "still being very racist four decades later" is acting as Farage's protective shield.

Cruelty is anhedonic. It rarely delivers the euphoria promised because, in the abstract, what feels righteous and joyful inevitably reveals itself to be sordid and small. Then it's "No not like that". "No not enough". "No the real battle, the forever war to make this feel good starts now". Forever.

Stefan Benarroch, two years below Farage at school, has told the Guardian that Ettedgui "was such a gentle soul and Farage – Farage made his life a fucking nightmare." He has also alleged Farage would hang outside where a Jewish service was held to identify and taunt other Jewish boys.
Benarroch, who is Jewish and was two years below Farage at school, said he did not get personally targeted by him but that he recalled the abuse allegedly meted out to Ettedgui.

“He was such a gentle soul and Farage – Farage made his life a fucking nightmare,” he said.

“They could only identify us, because we had to go to this stupid Jewish service in the science labs school. I mean, none of us were remotely religious. They would hang out there. Farage would hang out with his minions. And then they would taunt us as we would leave.”

Of Farage’s claim that those who had spoken out were not telling the truth, he believes “this is the oldest of the antisemitic tropes”.

He said he considered this was akin to claiming there is a “worldwide Jewish global conspiracy, and in order to have a conspiracy, you have to lie. That is what Reform are accusing us of. It couldn’t get more personal.”
