"But the preferred option comes with a price tag of more than half a billion." Oh no! We couldn't possibly run hourly trains between two of the North Island's three biggest cities for a price tag as steep as *checks notes* 1/7th the cost of a motorway to save a few minutes on the drive to Northland

Was thrilled to join Posting Through It for a new installment on their great "Who the Hell is..." series. Got to talk about my least-liked substack influencer and how insane I've felt as more centrist pundits have helped promote his work
Who the Hell is Richard Hanania? We’re joined by @letsgomathias.bsky.social and @henryburke.bsky.social to retrace the career arc of a very strange “race realist” poster who’s convinced the rich and powerful that’s he’s some sort of “intellectual.” www.patreon.com/PostingThrou...

@southstarbrew.bsky.social sitting here with Ian outside a tent and he tells me has a Mammoth and a Tusk by Roger Pink he's storing to share with you.
Seems to me that if you fancy yourself as being some sort of anti-elitist then having Daily Telegraph opinionists loudly praising you should cause a major bout of self reflection along the lines of 'am I a fucking idiot here'
A reminder that the “trans lobby” is just trans people going about their lives, and the “fight” being referred to is JK Rowling using her money, power and influence to endorse policy that is killing trans people. I’m amazed she could move to type a new essay with the layers of blood on her hands.

I've just watched this in full and if I was Jack Ross, Nick Tenconi or Allan Nesbitt I'd be getting out of the country as quickly as possible and shutting the fuck up for ever because the UVF might genuinely try to kill all three of them. YOU TRIED TO ORGANISE A MURDER ON WHATSAPP!

You joke but the polling’s been consistent: the state of men’s asses is a top-three issue in North Carolina.
Trump: "I'm studying his body. I've never studied the body of a man before. It's not my thing. Nothing wrong with it, of course. But it's never been my thing. But I looked at his ass. I said, 'His ass, shit, it's like a pile of muscle.' Then I looked at his legs and I said, 'Man, his feet are big.'"
