Obviously correct, and the public should ask how such a thing could’ve happened after their political leaders and media outlets won such a total and crushing triumph over the bigotry of the anti-racist, anti-austerity movement. It appears something funny was going on, there.

Kudos to the NS for inviting on Oborne to introduce the audience to some of the most obvious shit in the world, a lot of which will come as a big shock: that the Tories are not conservatives, and they are more like far right vandals or revolutionaries…

when you dig into the history of menswear, you find the same stories repeated. men who moralize traditional aesthetics rarely consider how their "tradition" was considered a corruption by an earlier generation, who wore things hated by people before them

Again, it is not Yer Da driving himself insane on Facebook that should worry us. It is elite radicalisation: the political and media class, who have roasted each other’s brains to blackened cinders.

Having said yesterday that I don’t think Britain is at all prepared to go to war with Russia, I am immensely heartened by the avalanche of EU/Ukraine flag accounts assuring me that actually it’s all fine and it’ll go brilliantly. A lot of people very happy to write very big, bouncy cheques.

This is a neat function in the Zeekr X which is handy for communicating with pedestrians. The only downside is that it appears to reverse puberty.

Should we perhaps ask how decades of British strategic genius and ingenious politics have now resulted in us being attacked by both fascist Russia and fascist America, falling over ourselves to prove to the latter that we’re also enthusiastically fascist? This seems non-optimal, to me.

I'm old enough to have seen a version of this story repeat over multiple decades.
It's old and tired.
It's also very gendered. If you're counting Coldplay as a rock act, and not counting Olivia Rodrigo, that's a you problem.

Rock Music Struggles to Draw Crowds as Tour Earnings Drop
Rock tours once dominated arenas, but 2025 data shows a shrinking share of total touring revenue, with newer genres eclipsing classic rock on the live-music charts.

I’d like to think it’s pretty obvious what’s been going on when the likes of this guy and Lineker are getting hounded out, and absolutely roaring spite-crazed headbangers like Sharon Davies are not only welcome but are being given non-jobs for life in the legislature

Car crashes disproportionately kill Black and Hispanic people walking and biking. Anti-drunk-driving programs like ignition interlock devices are good and save lives of black and brown people. If you only look at who pays the fees, and not who gets the goods, you're not analyzing the whole policy
The California ACLU is staunchly opposed to the ignition interlock device program and is a big reason that it has not been expanded. Despite the fact that California heavily subsidizes the cost for low-income drunk drivers, the ACLU says that the program is a form of "racialized wealth extraction."

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

I think Manufacturing Consent was probably correct but, if we are forced to ditch it so we can snare the world’s governing class in a despicable sexual abuse ring where they all lied to protect each other from accountability, then I will just have to accept that as collateral damage.
