And it also isn't true. After young women, young men are the least right-wing group in the UK, less right-wing than women in the next oldest age group.

I can see how the hate-filled will gleefully hate upon it, but Starfleet Academy is an utter gem of a programme for a whole galaxy of reasons they will never understand. This week's episode (s1e05) is a step above even that.
I'm gonna go watch it again.

The Creme Egg Oreo is an incredibly powerful piece of work 🙌
From my hotel room in Manchester, there an electronic billboard in a car park, and every 30 seconds, you can see money being burnt to promo a film no one wants to see, to placate an ego, 5,000 miles away.
Must check out that new biscuit though.

Then watch For All Mankind. ☝️
You have 52 days left to watch 40 episodes before season 5. And the rather optimistic vibe of this alternative universe, though obviously imperfect, may be just what you need right now. 👍

I think it was an original Trivial Pursuit question that asked what was the only word in English that ended with a "v".
Wonder if that's still true.

Making it make sense: Epstein wasn't a global mastermind. He did not orchestrate a vast conspiracy that led us to today.
He was a very rich man with connections to other very rich men. The shared culture of these men is that they have a right to dominate and abuse others without consequence.

Awkward for Farage because a good number of Clarkson's many hardcore fans are natural Reform voters and will listen to him.
✅ Clarkson is right, people aren’t voting Reform for policies 👉there aren’t any.
It’s a protest vote powered by nostalgia not a plan for future.
Reform use farming as a prop. Their real plan is USA trade deal, hormone-treated imports and they’ve appointed Ben Goldsmith

This is what’s known as dodgy as fuck…
Farage is in hock to murky foreign billionaires, taking their money to prioritise their interests if they buy him power. He’s exploiting people’s racism and anger to pretend he’s on their side. But he’s already sold them out.
