‘There would be many such dots to connect over the course of the book, and this is where Lost Boys excels. Bloodworth seamlessly links the loosely connected beliefs that comprise the right-wing value system.’ lareviewofbooks.org/article/only... @lareviewofbooks.bsky.social
The government won’t do shit unfortunately
X is in clear + systemic breach of its legal duties in the UK to remove unlawful content from its platform.
Proof: when X users abuse + harass others with the racial slur "paki", X reporting system defends the racist abuse in more than 90% of cases reported.

Really interesting listening to @jamesbloodworth.bsky.social talk about his book. Unexpectedly generated thoughts linking to the monograph on time/temporality and welfare (off to the publisher's soon) and a paper I've been working on regarding social security. Need to find time for further thinking

84% of British boys aged 13 to 15 in 2023 had heard of Andrew Tate and nearly a quarter of these 84% had a positive view of him.
What's going on? Should we be worried? What do we do about it?

Tesla is a meme stock & Musk is key to it remaining so, just as Kim Kardashian is key to the appeal of the Kardashians. So he's got a lot of bargaining power. This has less to do with car-making than with the economics of superstars. See eg Moshe Adler: pdodds.w3.uvm.edu/files/papers...

The HPV vaccine has been a public health triumph. Very depressing to see this potentially unravel while we're on the verge of essentially eradicating cervical cancer.
As the article says, the problem is as much about the service as it is about parental attitudes.

This is beyond grotesque. Another young journalism who treats the lives of minorities as a game. I know plenty of people who still hang out with this guy – I can't respect that as a decision when he's publicly gloating about further stigmatising disabled people.
