Ian Danskin - creator of the Alt-Right Playbook - is a fantastic educational creator. He’s going through some tough times financially simply because the economics of YouTube arrrrre not gooood! So if you can help him, please do!

“Every act of compassion is an act of defiance. Every moment of empathy is a refusal to surrender. Every time we choose decency over cruelty, we reclaim a piece of our shared humanity. “ - @jojofromjerz.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

Young man, there's no need to feel down, I said Young man, pick yourself off the ground, I said Young man, 'cause you're in a new town There's no need to be unhappy It's fun to shout at the

The beauty of centrism is it can never fail. People like me can fail it by refusing to prop it up. But it can never actually fail. No introspection from the centre is EVER necessary.

Teens & 20-somethings think 30-40 year olds are uncool? Wow this is a brand new phenomenon.

Salt Lake City! They made the city flags pride flags so you can't get in trouble for hanging them in your classroom

This was a brilliant day - Sisters of Eldar organised a Women in Warhammer meet up at Warhammer World and it was super friendly, lots going on and just NICE. My younger self was extra happy too.

the funniest part of the "using AI to cheat at school" discourse is the part where the pro-AI people miss that bullshit work was assigned to undergrads in order to train them, so they can learn. just the way that machines learn. that's why machine learning is the way it is. because people do it too

Last Name Law: normal stuff First Name Law: something very fucked up happened

You know there’s been a lot of raw dogging at those conclaves over the years

Why do bash F/A18 jet fighter aircraft for sliding into the Arabian Sea but we never question if the USA Harry Truman has bad vibes or is just unpleasant to be around?

KOKO THE GORILLA: Koko birkin bag. Practical Koko possession bag RESEARCHER: No, Koko. You can’t have a Birkin bag. KOKO: Good Birkin good Koko give beautiful Koko deserve gorilla RESEARCHER: Koko, we simply can’t afford a Birkin bag. It is an unjustifiable expense. KOKO: jealousy professor

Things only happen cos leftists make them happen (sootyempiric.blogspot.com/2025/03/the-...). Even to the point that far rightists wouldn't have been racist unless, alas, the left exercised their monopoly on agency to make them so. One of the genuinely puzzling features of our ideological landscape!

Labour strategy team takes a big sip of coffee and says,’We must crack down harder on immigration’.

The only "man in the ladies' room" was the fucking security guard who barged in there and dragged two ladies out. And yeah, fuck everyone involved in this. Get a life.

The government was wrong to cut winter fuel payments. It was wrong to keep the 2-child benefit cap. It was wrong to slash disability benefits. Pushing people into poverty is the wrong thing to do. The right thing to do is redistribute wealth and power so that everyone can live in dignity.

Recently met up with someone I used to know before they transitioned - 1st time I’ve ever seen a before & after IRL - and WOW, it’s amazing how much people flourish when they come out!!? Happier, smarter, funnier, sexier, more confident, the light in their eyes… We should be funding this shit fr! ✨

Been thinking about RFK Jr's approach to mental ill-health, autism etc. It feels based on the (very attractive to some people) idea differences from the norm are somehow 'unnatural' and thus in some form an artifact of 'the modern world' and thus can only be acted upon by a dose of the 'the natural'

The electorate stayed where it was, and the two ‘main’ parties continued their inexorable march to the right.

The transition of the platform of the Republican Party in one easy to understand meme.

What does one even say at this point? This is profoundly criminal, insane and fucked up

This sums the whole situation up quite nicely.

empathy is important, people falling down those rabbit holes NEED to know that you their loved ones will be there for them when and if they leave but empathy must be paired with a hard line. "No I do not believe this. No I will not debate certain things. If you cross this line we no longer talk."

researchers are still trying to invent politics that isn't gender

YOU - Suffering will only make me stronger. ENDURANCE - It's probably this way of thinking that got you where you are.

Three years ago @foldablehuman.bsky.social did a video, “Jamie Oliver’s War on Nuggets” that makes this point: Oliver’s criticism of nuggets is that they’re “dirty” (i.e. low class). youtu.be/V-a9VDIbZCU?...

UK labor turning the dial up on cruelty, seeing if they can get the crowd to cheer only to guarantee a future Reform government.
