A lot of centrist commentators who genuinely got worked up about the unforgivably insulting nature of "cling to guns and religion" or "basket of deplorables" are weirdly silent about Trump portraying himself as literally shitting on American cities

It’s because it is socially acceptable to hate cities and the people who live in them, and even virtuous to do so. Urbanites themselves are expected to perform this self-hating virtue. If they do not, this proves that they are snobs who deserve things like being shat on from the sky by a mad king.

I've got lots of things to say about Jeremy Clarkson.

Really not worth it. He knows his game is over and so is resorting to personal attacks.

Piss him off instead and

Jeremy Clarkson article that says if you can't sort out your teeth you can't sort out the country.

Import from my X account (which should be deleted shortly).
Newspaper clippings relating to the 1949 "incident" at the Romanian Orthodox Church in Paris (Rue Jean de Beauvais) when Iron Guard priests (supported by the worshipers) took over the edifice from archimandrite Martinian Iovanovici. 1/

A columnist at the Boston Globe accuses Seth Moulton of singling out Israel because it is a Jewish state after Moulton announced he is no longer accepting AIPAC support

Jeff Jacoby & @Jeff Jacoby
X.com
I have admired @SethMoulton's willingness to challenge the crazier obsessions of the Democratic left.
But hostility toward the world's lone Jewish state is now so overwhelming among Democrats that even mostly sensible members of the party cannot resist it.
AlPAC exists to support Israel, regardless of the party in power at any given time. Of course Moulton is free to spurn donations from Americans who organize to strengthen US-Israel ties. But he hasn't announced a similar ban on Americans who support any other country. Why is that, I wonder?

Tulsi weirdly silent on regime change these days.

Four screenshots in sequence. 1. Tulsi Gabbard tweeted in 2019: The US must stay out of Venezuela & let the people determine their own future. US meddling in Latin America has been disastrous for the people of the countries where we intervene. Pence's "demand" is inappropriate & dangerous. https://tulsi.to/2V7IuuK

2. News story from yesterday: Trump authorizes CIA operations in Venezuela, raising pressure on Maduro

3. Twitter search of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard showing no results for "venezuela"

4. Twitter search of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard showing no results for "maduro"

Ministers 'working to reverse' ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans attending Aston Villa match

A Downing Street spokesperson said Sir Keir Starmer was "angered" by a decision not to allow Maccabi Tel Aviv fans to attend their side's match against Aston Villa next month amid safety concerns.

From the reports I've seen, Israel football fans have behaved disgracefully abroad (although Ajax fans responded very badly too).

The way that football has sorted out such problems is by taking a very hard line on the clubs involved. Not sure Maccabi Tel Aviv can have any complaints.

This morning my ChatGPT quota was inexplicably exhausted.

It took a while but I pieced it together. Voice mode somehow got activated when I went to bed.

The bot then engaged in a 10 hour conversation with my snoring dog, answering questions the pup wasn’t asking and praising him for his insight.

Reason is bad for them, not because it generates nonsense to justify illogical decisions, but because it has a fatal weak link.

It starts with a human making a decision.

That's the bit they want to eliminate.

Oh dear.

I've never had curry or a kabab and don't intend to.
British food is the best. English breakfasts, Sunday roasts, fish and chips, pies, pasties, scones.
Also, our national dish isn't a chicken tikka masala we only think that because a Labour MP said it decades ago to push multiculturalism.

to be clear, were this to be true, i unequivocally support the cártels in this endeavour.

clear lesser evil, in this specific regard.

TCamp @tcampb.bsky.social · 4d

Heard on ABC news that our government says that supposedly some Mexican cartel is going after ICE agents. Where is the proof? Journalists need to check anything and everything that the government says. Once again, the government is using false pretense to make their mission seem real (it's a sham).
