Kudos to Rebecca for leading this charge! Lynn's data is an embarrassment to the scientific enterprise. The skull measurers on Twitter are having a predictable response with the repeated claim that "other data replicate" Lynn's results.
Easy to see that's not true for the 2002, 2012, or "new" set

Arktos Press is one of several nodes in the international fascist lit movement--even its name is based on Nazi occultist/esoteric polar myths about a mystical 'Hyperborea'. It is extremely overtly fascist and neo-Nazi (e.g. publishes Benoist, Evola, Dugin, Spengler, Lynn, etc.)
I know things are bad, but I was honestly somehow surprised to see that the books of the racist, fascist Arktos Press are available free with a Kindle Unlimited subscription
"The Blackening of Europe", for example

"Remigration" is it? The last guy shown here - race science fan Geoffrey Miller - has written for Quillette

Look forward to Bari Weiss asking "has identity politics gone too far?" while studiously ignoring the most virulent identity politics driving American government
A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Tucker Carlson is a racist far right white supremacist who was fired from fox news for sexual harassment and repeated lies about voter fraud that led to a billion dollar law suit against his employer.
So naturally Michael Gove would ask him to write an anti-British diatribe for The Spectator.

Are there any other countries whose "patriotic" publications pay foreigners to write about what a hellhole they think their country is?

I went to an event a few weeks ago where a guy who was presenting on his bike repair charity of all things showed a three-minute promotional clip that didn't just use an AI voice-over but basically AI everything, including "volunteer" testimonials. Lance Armstrong levels of shithousing
I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

JK Rowling got a full *decade* of press as a martyr for being "cancelled" (declared passe by people online) and meanwhile nobody considers it very interesting that a prominent left wing author is basically banned from entering or publishing in the United Kingdom for her politics
so this is like, one of the biggest free speech infringements by a western democracy in our lifetimes right?

There’s been several podcasts which said they were aiming to do this (minus figures from the arts world tbf), and every one of them almost immediately devolved into the panelists honking received wisdom at one another in a Very Measured Tone
We need one of those bare set, hour long politics tv shows shown at 11pm where no one shouts, the questions are forensic, the other guests are figures of the arts world, and only 6 people watch it.
Though one important part of making politics intellectual is that when you host a podcast called "Political Thinking" and somebody comes out with guff like Badenoch did, you really do have to challenge it. Right now there's no reward structure for deeper thinking or self-reflection.

Still, I think we all needed a Brass Eye-esque 'This is the one thing we didn't want to happen' moment in British politics in the run-up to Christmas
I once legged it from my desk in a previous job because I accidentally sent a half-finished email to a client. Whoever at the OBR accidentally published their analysis of the budget before the budget has even happened must have imploded into some sort of neutron star

Incidentally to the leak, a remarkably dull set of measures compared to all the pre-budget excitable briefings, once again illustrating the strategic vacuum at the heart of this government.
BREAKING The entire Budget has leaked early
- £22BN of headroom
- £26bn tax rises
- Freeze on tax thresholds
- Pay per mileage confirmed
- Changes to capital gains

Honestly, I think some centre-left criticisms of Green policy are fair. But if Labour keeps alienating its natural supporters the Greens will become more viable, more progressive policy experts could start gravitating towards them, and their policy offer could gradually become more compelling.
tbh Polanski seems to have avoided most of the big MMT heffalump traps (allowing that "inflation doesn't go higher" was a misspeak), I'm relatively impressed at whoever's advising him.

My abiding memory of the last 7-8 years of Twitter is the Labour right's outriders (if you know them you know them) reposting UnHerd articles, joking about with Spectator writers, and sneering with incredulity at the idea of structural racism. Fundamentally, they're right wing
This is performance art. It's political discourse improv. It's like watching Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler acting shocked that a wrestler would distract the referee
