How sad it is that enough people - including the previously liberal - fell for the fear-mongering against trans people and this wedge issue helped return Trump to power and now we see the terrible cost that must be paid by both the trans community and many others too

I don’t like saying this but BBC News is utterly failing in its coverage of Trump. Go elsewhere to find out what is actually happening

Oh, totally. Search engines serving up bizarre AI word salads while basic Boolean searches no longer work on them: THAT'S DELIBERATE

1/2 Some of you may be aware that a documentary was produced by a BBC team of a young boy telling his story about life in Gaza Some people complained because he is the son of the Gazan Agricultural minister i.e member of the political wing of Hamas, it was removed This is an alternate link

Very much like the Iraq War, somehow "I thought Elon Musk was a genius until a couple years ago" is now considered the more respectable and serious opinion than "I knew he was a fraud for a decade and was never fooled by him."

think what grates most about Fraser Nelson's "a dramatic shift? of MY Overton window?" shtick is that those of us who kept talking about the Spectator's dangerous slide to the right were treated as hysterical, not able to see the humour in shock jocks, etc etc, when we were just clearly right!

Was it a week or two back that Yvette Cooper was talking about the dangers of paedophiles taking real kids photos and using AI to create child abuse images? She just made it easier for them to get access to those real photos. At a stroke.

Fraser Nelson blocked me on Twitter because he wrote an article about how the UK is the best place to be Black so I sent him a picture of the all white Spectator staff in LONDON and asked if this was you he said “I hire on ability” LOOOOOL

I'm not having Fraser Nelson playing dumb on the rise of racism on the right after years spent printing Murray, Liddle, Taki and Shriver. I literally had a DM row with him years ago where I said this would happen.

There are Americans who think they can put all this chaos back in the box four years from now, but, even if they’re allowed another election, we’ll be into a grim new world order by then. Irrevocably. The people of the country that led the free world never valued freedom.

I am tired of this horseshit. BP didn’t “go green”; it kept drilling for oil and gas in repressive petrostates and creaming billions in profits These analysts actually believed the greenwash, and are now calling for the black pill www.thetimes.com/business-mon...

Brilliant front page

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend. I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.
