MAGA is using combat sports as a tool to recruit the younger men and boys who feel hopeless. And it works on the young women and girls who are trapped in conservative areas. But the practices and disciplines that MMA and other combat training teach are the very opposite of the values held by the GOP

IIRC I saw a video explaining this surge, basically it takes about 6 months for the information in data breaches to filter down to low level scammers, etc. So the reason for the current surge is whatever major breach happened at around the start of the year.

Is anyone else just getting calls from random mobile numbers every day now? Doesn’t even say suspected scam anymore. Haven’t answered any of them but just feels a bit insane you cant trust any number that calls you except ones already saved

This weeks episode of Tangible Vibe Shift is about whether combat sports are inherently right wing, or have just been recently co-opted by the right to appeal to certain demographics: youtu.be/TnnqMinx7s4?...

I know we like to laugh at how ridiculous these headlines are but genuinely what is the idea behind treating the story like this? Is it fear of a right wing attack? Appeasing a right wing readership? The guy slashed a boat with someone on it lol, just say what happened

I have issues with lifting the ban, largely to do with turning games into either rugby nonsense or Boxpark idiocy, but suggesting that it's the heady mix of pissy lager and the sight of grass that turns football fans specifically into monsters is Thatcherite nonsense

The people who neck loads before they go in won't be any more drunk, and neither will the people who don't. Probably be easier to get a drink though, since the entire stadium isn't trying to do it at half time as they have to finish it on the concourse...

A long-known and hated phenomenon at Welsh international rugby games is that people get up and down throughout the game to go back and forth to the bar. Be interesting if that turns out to be the same in football. Also, this hall of fame story/image combo.

I know I'm in the metropolitan elite for going to Arsenal games but pints are like 7/8 quid in the Emirates, most fans I know try limit the amount of stadium pints to an absolute minimum. Not sure drinking while watching the game will suddenly turn everyone any more feral than they already are

Is it tickets costing twice as much as any other sport? Can’t figure out why we’re still treating football fans like animals while charging them west end theatre prices.

A world where a twist ending is repurposed as a video title. where a thing's climax has been removed, leaving an advertisment for the gap where it used to be. such things are commonplace in. the twilight zone

And honestly i think that kind of applies to everyone there. The death of charlie kirk and the subsequent shrug of peoples shoulders really signals to the rest of the right that they could be executed and nobody would care for longer than maybe a day or two.

Really was a wild period in the late 2010s when Jordan Peterson had a real foothold in the culture, selling out the O2 etc. I had friends in law firms and consulting firms who had to attend mandatory book clubs where they'd discuss the 12 Rules

Right-wing politics is laden with contradictions, but "We're the movement of authentic, traditional masculinity who have to ask for help sounding tough from the calculator" is one of the funnier ones.

A skate park does more to reduce knife crime than “more bobbies on the beat”, the only difference is middle class white people are scared of groups of kids at skate parks and they’re comforted by the presence of the police.

Really funny (not actually funny) when supposedly left wing politicians who for years used to say it was insulting and abusive to call them right wing end up doing massively right wing things or work for massively right wing companies a few years later and by that time they just go “eh, so what“
