Why does 25% AfD among young men spark a thousand "what is going on with young men?" posts yet Die Linke 34% among young women generates...nothing at all? Yes, young men voting for the radical right is an important phenomenon. But so is young women going rad left at even higher rates.

1. I saw this again and again from people like Tulsi Gabbard, who was then on the left: a complete absence of empathy towards the victims of Assad's attacks in Syria. And making common cause with the far right in supporting his regime and its Russian backers.🧵 www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity. TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. 🪄

Fascism is on the rise, yet many are passive in the face of it Similar to many reactions to the climate & ecological emergencies It is our individual duty to oppose these existential threats www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker - published almost exactly 70 years ago in April 1955 - features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist and rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea!

Both English and Scottish Labour are irredeemably right-wing parties now, they have nothing to offer the left or the centre and should be treated as identical to Tories. Not shadows of Tories, not Tories Lite, they just are more Tories now.

Extraordinary story the Wall Street Journal. X is threatening advertisers that if they don’t spend more, Elon Musk will use his influence in government to block company mergers. That’s extortion.

'Like many people, I often feel as if I grew up with the Michael Rosen poem that starts: “I sometimes fear that / people think that fascism arrives in fancy dress.”' @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social I know it's over a decade old but @theguardian.com is on point.

NEW: FT reporting that Trump may withdraw troops from the Baltic states & beyond. That would be an extraordinary win for Putin. It’s not so much that Trump is jettisoning Europe, with this he’d lay a red carpet for Putin into Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania & further West. Truly grave & scary times.

It's altogether pretty disturbing how the Times undersells the AfD's Nazi connections here, and also undersells the linkages Musk and Vance have with Nazis/white supremacists: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/w...
