Sorry for making you look at him but yet again, as with Peterson, Musk, Montgomerie and so many others, the turn to the hard/far right begins with obsessive transphobia. It might be the primary driver of rightwing radicalisation over the last decade. They always bring it up.

I thought you might like to know a bit about my new morning routine, which consists of avoiding looking at the news, then 30 minutes later taking a little peek, then spending about an hour in a state of burning rage as I read about the continuing exploits of literally the worst humans in the world

Starlink should be banned from European markets on national security grounds. Anything requiring Starlink should be shut out of the European market, and sanctions should be considered against all relevant actors. kyivindependent.com/us-threatens...

Young people are often left behind by transport policy decisions, with transport affordability creating barriers to accessing education, work, public services and socialising. Welcome to see the Welsh government recognise this and put in place this national £1 a trip & £3 day ticket bus fare trial.

Fascinated by people who argue “The government only met their increased appointment target by ending the doctors strike” as a gotcha. I mean, yes? That would be the primary purpose of ending a strike, to ensure those striking could in fact do their job instead of striking.

I have now been blocked by politically confused journalist Stephen Bush for the crime of offering him an opinion on what printer he should be using, offering to delete the posts and then pointing out that his response to me was puzzlingly aggressive. Meh. His loss.

Substack is the new linkedln, isn't it? Just tried to read what seemed to be a very vital article by @samfr.bsky.social and ended up not reading it because of the cost and the requirement to pay money but also ended up subscribed to several other blogs. No thanks.

open.substack.com/pub/samf/p/t... Brilliant but terrifying piece by @samfr.bsky.social on the warped ideology driving Musk, Thiel, and the other tech bros. Among its inspirations #gamergate which too many tech journalists treated in a “good people on both sides” way ….
