Media outlets bend over backwards to be like, “Politician Uses Charged Language That Critics Say Is Potentially Racially Insensitive” and then that politician will post, “NAH I LOVE RACISM!!!”
Neolibralism is being ok with paedophiles as long as you get that big contract.
Shame can be a destructive emotion, but this is what a culture without shame looks like.
And it's consistently rewarded and indulged.
“She’s the exception, I am the rule.”
Such articulate cutting through of the nonsense around puberty blockers and eg Keira Bell’s detransitioning from Stephanie Lynnette on GMB this morning. It is also a refreshing relief to see a trans person actually being allowed to speak for once!
Going to a concert where not only were you not recognised, but was full of people you persecuted all having the most fun and loveliest time while you spent Wednesday night lonely and miserable in a packed venue, is possibly the biggest self-own there is
If you’re one of the nation’s most prominent transphobes *and* you can still go to a major trans rights event and apparently spend the evening largely unnoticed, you should probably be careful who you call a nobody
Liberals love to do “what if these monsters were gay? ha ha ha” satire. It’s gross every time.
FIFA's first ever Peace Prize winner has become the first person to bomb a country out of participating in the FIFA World Cup.
Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now
The publishing industry's lack of confidence in authors and its own ability to create careers for them is pathetic and, in the end, self-defeating.
We need a national conversation about the fact so many Labour MPs are hopelessly addicted to the app that turns you into a right-wing shithead
That’s why Elon bought it
One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...
Blaming Iran for America bombing a school. Utterly disgusting
My favourite 2024 election stat is that more 2019 Tory voters swung to being dead than swung to Labour
someone at the pentagon frantically typing “Claude, open the strait of Hormuz for me, quickest possible strategy, make no mistakes.”

Guess who this will be targeted at.
France’s former PM Dominique de Villepin about US and Israel war on Iran
Carmen Sandiego from the 90s cartoon
Happy International Women's Day to the original International Woman
Am I surprised that a man who was able to thrive at a company where women weren't allowed in the same room as the boss, because he'd grope them, appears to have no ethical backbone? Not even a little.
Genuine questions: could these people be in the pay of the regime? And would that, to use language some of them favour, make them both ‘economic migrants’ *and* ‘welfare scroungers’?
nyt website currently resembles one of those mock covers people made before 2016 election: economy floundering, war in the middle east, scandal-plagued cabinet sec, brazen corruption....
Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, “I do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...
A tweet from the Daily Mail with a headline saying "Four biblical signs the world has entered the end of days as US bombs Iran
This perfectly illustrates my point that the British tabloids are aiming at a US audience. There like 5 people in the UK who think about this. But it is huge among US evangelicals.
British politicians need to ignore UK tabloids, as UK tabloids are talking to an audience in the US for clicks.
most annoying thing about the stupid "huh have trans people tried being gay instead" take is that like, basically all trans people I have ever met have had mostly queer friends, would have been hard for them not to be aware of "gay" as an option on the table
This kind of thing has been standard policing since Marsha P Johnson's dead body was found in the Hudson River following an argument with some transphobes and was immediately ruled a suicide and left uninvestigated by police
Do people post videos on Bluesky?
I was on Cross Question last night arguing that it would be foolish to follow the War Criminal and Episodic Man into Iran. Kind of like following an arsonist into a burning building. Strongmen motivated entirely by their own self interest can not be trusted.
Think there is something to be written about how bad the news environment has got for people who want to keep up with politics but don't have the time/knowledge to go beyond the flagships.
