Even if this were true, this pervert’s country has been bombing Arab countries my entire life and before that my own country was bombing them so yeah that probably makes advanced scientific research difficult
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."
Failing to differentiate between a nation and a terrorist group is capital R Racism and is also the logic Hamas uses to justify killing Israeli civilians
I give it two weeks before the world’s most poisonous media outlets start hounding fuck out of named, individual teachers. They can’t stop the public recognising crimes against humanity, but they can deliver truckloads of grief to members of the public pour encourager les autres.
www.economist.com/united-state... Two weeks out from the mid terms and this masturbatory trash is the best Lexington can come up with even when ostensibly criticising Donald trump. the economist’s above-it-cerebral style is so unfit for the moment
it is as simple as 'not being a bigot' is elitist because these perverts are bigots and also think the volk is bigoted
We might laugh at this or stare at it in pure disbelief but yes, this is the reactionary mind on display here. The smartypants people calling me a witless ignoranus on social media are in fact a globe-bestriding tyrannical elite that must be destroyed. Like Godzilla, but worse.
If my colleagues are allowed to not “believe in transgender” am I allowed to not believe in cisgender? “Hi Jim how’s being a they/them today? Sorry I know you think you’re a man but just don’t believe you” seems like that would get stomped on right quick
Civil servant transgender guidelines leak just dropped:
@washingtonpost.com hey I think I found some bureaucratic mission creep, which is weird because i thought that was going to end
Hegseth: "Today, at my direction, I'm establishing the Office of Religious Affairs. It will report straight to the top -- a direct line to the secretary ... as Psalm 33:12 extolls us, blessed is the nation in which God is the Lord"
Douglas Murray cites this guy like a hundred times in one of his trash books, weird! anyway @thespectator1828.bsky.social keep publishing his insights despite this showing he’s either thick as pigshit or is genuinely impressed by rufo’s bad and nasty opinions
New: Chris Rufo & his co-host devoted a podcast to "The Indian Question," framing Desi people as a problem to be solved. Their "solution?" Mass expulsion. For those allowed to remain: an “assimilation hazing process” w/ instances of “vulgar, defamatory racism" talkingpointsmemo.com/news/chris-r...
@thespectator1828.bsky.social hey I wonder if possibly Freddy gray plays dumb for money and to empower fascists, idk seems like trump’s brain is broken and it’s not even my job to keep track of these things
@thespectator1828.bsky.social hey I know freddy gray thinks it’s an absurd conspiracy theory that Trump is a serial rapist so I guess he just felt compelled to defend the university at the heart of a rape scandal for other reasons
www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0... This whole article is based on a podcast from 2025, really immediate vital reporting, keep up the good work
This happens with*everything* now. No matter how grave the crime or one-dimensional the injustice, after four days the hivemind of American punditry decides that the Real Story is how the people upset about it are the real villains.
spectator.com/article/my-i... This stupid boy saw a statue of a black lady in a square full of white imperial killers and felt threatened and upset, what a prick, what a blunt and tamed mind
If Tilly Norwood ain’t in it I ain't watching
I watched 5 mins so that you don't have to. As it has all the humanity of a vacuum cleaner, I'm sure that non-sentient non-humans find it hilarious. The makers also have an #AI bot replying to criticisms under the video. Execrable. #NoBigDeal www.perspectivemedia.com/sitcom-produ...
tbf Massie doesn't seem to have written anything about Arday beside this navel-gazing piece, but he's sure as shit not written anything about a different Cambridge professor appearing on camera to be planning some light treason either
The major story of the last decade is the resurgence of overt racist hatred and fascism, on a specific platform of removing the civil rights of citizens, and deporting them where possible. The British press has - at best - used this opportunity to hammer the fuck out of everyone it’s always despised
www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/09... according to this embarrassing article the main problem with failing to teach kids about 9/11 seems to be it makes it harder to be racist towards Muslims

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... For the love of sweet Jesus Christ what will it take for the BBC to point out this man has a career of lying for profit stretching back longer than most people have been alive? It is THE MOST SALIENT DATA TO UNDERSTANDING THIS STORY
We couldn’t possibly say republican voters are thick as pig shit but the president certainly thinks so
Since becoming president again, Trump has promised: -$5000 stimulus checks via "DOGE dividend" -$2000 stimulus checks via "tariff dividend" -$1000+ checks via "savings" from expiring ACA subsidies -$5000 "dividend" if Rs win midterms No checks have been issued www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-magi...
sitting here in England thinking if only we had windy coasts like Denmark but alas
#Denmark built so much wind that some blustery hours the turbines out-produce what the whole country is using. When that happens, the extra power doesn’t sit idle. It moves through Denmark’s links into the wider European network and heads to neighbors like Germany, Norway, Sweden. #ActOnClimate
I wonder if this article points out farage is pals with trump, a serial sex criminal and friend of Epstein
The BBC website hasn’t found space to report on Jenrick’s defence of assaults on a woman protestor by Reform members, but it has devoted an entire page to this puff for Reform’s attempts to appeal to women
this man is constantly on camera being like “the sky is red and the sun rises in the west“ and it’s never ever pointed out that he’s insane and lies all the time when eg he updated the country on the Iran War
“We could do tremendous good for ourselves by just not trading with countries” — Trump’s bonkers view of trade is that you become wealthy by not engaging in commerce
very funny @economist.com turned to this galaxy brain to criticise Nobel prize winning economist daron acemoglu
Weird “pledging to try and punish war criminals” is not mentioned in this article about an election campaign in a state accused of genocide, seems important. and if the reason is “because no one is promising to do that” what does that mean then eh
Gadi Eisenkot’s centre-right party, Yashar, has overtaken Binyamin Netanyahu’s Likud in our poll tracker. But both leaders would need to woo a diverse range of partners in order to form a governing coalition
