The term 'pedo' somehow holds enormous cultural power. We knew the Trump/Epstein thing but apparently 'teenage girl' and 'rape' seems to be less outrageous than whatever people think of as pedophilia. I get that it's also about Musk, but there is also a reframing of the crime happening.

I thought we knew about Trump and Epstein and America had decided not to care.

"There has been a belated understanding that this runs counter to copyright laws, and a retrospective action to seek permission to use copyrighted material is underway – all without any express acknowledgement of past wrongdoing (in order not to influence the outcome of several lawsuits underway)."

Can we please keep girls out of this? It’s a 53-year-old vs. a 78-year-old.

Today, the New York Times is continuing its war on Trans people by releasing a ominously titled podcast about gender affirming care for trans youth that continues to peddle their lies and distortions. I wrote about how the NYT does this. www.thedissident.news/the-new-york...

That's at least three articles this week in which GC women in later middle age moan about younger feminists not agreeing with them - Stock,Bindel and Rustin - plus Suzanne Moore moaning about Paris being on television.

Thank god for AIPAC... www.normalisland.co.uk/p/us-vetoes-...

German newspaper headlines about Merz's visit to the three-year-old. Merz isn't young, but he's almost a decade younger than Trump.

Doing mandatory training on research integrity. The part on authorship seems ironic in times of AI. Special shout out to Nick Clegg.

I wrote about OpenAI's pivot to jingoism, and how dedicating itself to "national security" is at odds with its founding mission to benefit "all of humanity." theintercept.com/2025/06/03/o...

www.imdb.com/title/tt0107... Had a very random memory flash of this film from 1993. Which gets even weirder when you realise they identified the panchem llama in 1995, and he disappeared a few months later

Does anyone have access to this article by Chris Meir in the Journal of Scandinavian Cinema? intellectdiscover.com/content/jour... 13_1

How about you focus on your own voters? Because they don't necessarily want to keep company with reform voters?

Who could have known that in 2025, no one gives a shit? x www.normalisland.co.uk/p/israels-at...

Trump I happened. With all the family separation and kids-in-cages horrors. How on earth did you think mothers were exempt from deportation?

Because nostalgia and history are different things and I think you just want to selete your Instagram (which you can do). Who wants to be without #BLM or #MeToo?

Final call! This survey is set to close at midnight tonight (UK time). Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far. (Once I'm back at my desk next week I will start sharing preliminary results 💚) #cdrama #fanstudies

With it being Pride month here is a reminder that it is no longer possible to invest in the Harry Potter franchise – nor anything else connected to JKR (also known as Robert Galbraith) – and call yourself an ally of the LGBTQ community.

"TERFism, like all fascist discourses and all imperial and settler-colonial horizons, imagines itself upside-down, as somehow preyed-upon, bullied, colonized, and at risk of genocidal erasure at the hands of the subjugated group it dehumanizes." - @reproutopia.bsky.social

⚠️ For those unfamiliar with the term “remigration,” it does not only mean deportation of undocumented immigrants but also the expulsion of non-white people to the country of their racial or ethnic ancestral origin without regard to their citizenship, legal status, or place of birth.

As of today, Elon Musk is thought to be responsible for the death of 300,000 adults and kids due to the illegal closure of USAID (source: www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?vi...) That's a 103 deaths per hour, each day. And it will get worse. His legacy is one of death, destruction, and failure.

Millions of people died and will die because he dismantled USAID. Add to that long-term instability in the NGO market and loss of US soft power.

Be Ben & Jerry’s, always stay in the right side of history.

been saying this for like 3 years now, the core constituency of the "manosphere" is not Gen Z or teenage boys, it is 35-55 year old dudes who wish they were still teenage boys

BREAKING: We're now describing the Liverpool driver as a "lovely man" with a "nice family" after discovering he is white British ♥️

338 responses and closing for replies on Saturday. Help me get up to 350!

Okay, how do you do that? I'll try. Black & white movies. 1. It Happened One Night 2. The Lady Eve 3. The Lost Weekend 4. Mildred Pierce 5. All About Eve That doesn't even start anything.

The idea of a threesome with Elon Musk and Stephen Miller seems like the unsexiest thing ever. Will anyone ever have sex again?

I talked to a nurse the other day who said she is watching all the Korean Netflix stuff because she's learning the language in advance of a big trip in 2026.

Sarrazin hat ein neues Buch. Iiihhh.

Our letter condemning the genocide in #Gaza and calling for an immediate ceasefire. A great crime is being committed, and we cannot stand by. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

despite pushing for control of food and other supplies coming into Gaza, the Israel Defense Forces had not properly prepared to distribute aid and “planned to direct the population using gunfire” PLANNED TO DIRECT THE POPULATION USING GUNFIRE www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

So, I wonder if left-wing twitter is now just journalists talking to each other.
