katherine dee is herself a reactionary who has written for TERF blog fairer disputations. her bio there cites her work at american conservative, unherd, and the washington examiner. interesting how the bio she chose here doesn’t reflect that bias. the work itself features no actual citations

Is Nick Fuentes Winning Over Women on the Left?

“What’s happening here is a very specialized industry that’s enabling some of the world’s worst dictators and despots to undermine the foundational pillars of liberal democracy.”

We uncovered a massive data trove. It revealed the hidden world of First Wap, whose untraceable tech has targeted politicians, journalists, celebrities, and activists around the globe.

Congratulations to Mais! This family is going through so much & she’s still doing well in her studies. Help them out today.

For the first time, we are happy in Gaza despite the destruction and ruin. My sister studied hard and achieved a score of 96% at the end of high school. Share our joy and help her continue her studies.
Congratulations Mais🎉🎉😭

Apparently he will turn up for *anything* that involves Hades (Disney version, which he's actually great at), but yep. Him being in the Rudy Giuliani biopic reminds me that apparently the real Giuliani was unnerved by Woods's politics when speaking w/ him. If you unnerve *Giuliani*....

Annoyed at a rabid far right winger Woods turned out to be, because he was in so many good films.

(Makes it more enjoyable whenever he dies, then)

I agree with Martin - Eurovision was for the longest time this kitschy in-joke sort of thing, like he says, "Euro-weirdness" but fun. Even before October'23, it was getting less fun and amusing, and now there's no real point.

Donald Trump standing at a lectern with a presidential seal on it. He is looking down wearing a navy suit and red tie. He's flanked by other world leaders including Keir Starmer who has his back turned because he's just been humiliated. Giorgia Meloni is trying to hold in her laughter

It’s genuinely terrifying to watch as genocide enablers and supporters either double down on their violent rhetoric or pretend that they were always for peace since this recent ceasefire went into effect.

Never let them forget how they’ve been complicit in all of this death.

yeah man, trans reporters, whom the ny times derogatorily calls "trans activists" so that normies won't listen to them, have been reporting on ADF activity in the UK since 2018.

bigotry in journalism makes you late to the story.

Max Colbert @mc00.bsky.social · 1d

Really important NYT investigation finds that the ADF has been working with Reform, 'courting the party since at least 2024' and that the British arm 'orchestrated Mr Farage’s appearance in Congress, reaching out to ask if he would like to give evidence on censorship'

Hello, I’m from Gaza.
We’re living through hell
homes destroyed,memories erased,loved ones gone. Even the innocence of our children has been shattered.
Every bit of help—even a small donation—could save a life or rekindle a flicker of hope.

Thank you for remembering Gaza 😢🙏

The sort of radio ads you can imagine being played in "Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus"*, or the "What if the South won" mockumentary "C.S.A: Confederate States of America"*

*Which some people clearly saw as aspirational, instead of horrific alt. history.

Given how the Respect Party started off (a well-meaning project between George Monbiot and Salma Yaqoob), and how it ended, the Galloway vibes (which some were thinking of earlier on) could be apt: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respect...

God it's so gross hearing reporters talk about Israeli "hostages" but then refer to Palestinian "prisoners held without charge" like what's the material difference between these two categories?
