2025 is such a strange time. Why did I just say the sentence, “oh I should have brought my mom that weed today”?

The radio silence about Farage from people who are usually supremely vocal about antisemitism is so so telling.

my great-grandparents arrived in the UK in the 1890s with nothing.
they sold pickles from the front room window, took in laundry, worked as tailors.
their children were nurses, teachers, salesmen.
their grandchildren were professors, designers, opticians, doctors, magistrates, entrepreneurs.

I’d say an excellent example that Farage’s racism didn’t end at school is he went to a dinner last year where they sang “we’re all racists now” and laughed at Hitler Jokes..
Enough said 🤷🏼♂️

No Reform representative on the Laura Kuenssberg show for two weeks running - that's a record! It's almost as though we didn't want to talk about the 28 witnesses to my teenage racism and antisemic abuse.

We had a great time. Great spot. Opening act BIG SURPRISE was excellent. Gracie really liked them. I got a Carter USM vibe off of them. PSB did not disappoint. They are my favorite band of this century. One of the best concerts ever. I was up 21 hours by the time I got home. @psbhq.bsky.social

Perhaps they mean 'the heritability of intelligence is around 50%', which is roughly accurate, but measures the genetic component of the variance of the trait in a specific population.
Slightly less snappy as an advertising slogan.
