I would not frame it as fascism or an overthrow of democracy. I would calm down and think about it. I’d see people as people - mostly good. I’d step back from social media and realise we’re basically fine. Finally I’d realise that democracy is working and I find a better hobby. But here I am.

When you get back in power, what will you do with the red hats? Is it deportation or straight to the trains?

Hey! This number is for Hispanics to report their illegal fellows! Not aliens.

What’s weird is that it’s Hispanics who are most likely to inform on, well, Hispanics. Sometimes times are different.

Every decision you’ve made has led YOU to here. Progressives were once the edgy rebels pushing against conservative institutions. But now, a peculiar inversion has occurred: the progressives have gained control of them, making the questioning of tradition the new institutional tradition.

I do wonder why they couldn’t do what SpaceX did.

Thank you for writing such a good response. There’s a whole PhD in that paragraph alone!

Have you noticed that TERFS don’t physically attack political opponents rallies or speaking events? They win by collective evidence gathering, researched analysis and persuasive argument.

Carrick - the truth will set you free and is never petty or cruel. There is no way that it is fair for a male-bodied person to be on a sports pitch with a woman in a contact sport. And sport must be fair first. Then safe. Finally inclusive. Otherwise it’s not sport.

Allison Pearson is having none of it re Lucy Connolly.

I think it will self sustain like Tumblr. Insignificant and a place people think matters. There is a left wing mindset that things will come back - I see it in counterculture thinking from the 60's, socialists post McCarthy, never-Trump Republicans. Everyone needs their place.

To paraphrase an old saying - Facebook is a mall and X is the street. You can run into anyone on X but sometimes it’s nice to go to the mall. Bluesky feels like a gentrified neighbourhood that is good once you’re accepted but it’s not the street.

If you are still planning then get Ethernet from your router too. Lastly ask the installer if you can fit a controller with a PIR. This will switch off the heat pump when you are not in the room (after a few minutes) this will save more energy than any difference in COPs.

I work mostly commercial but Mitsubishi and Daikin are the big boys. If you can afford them get them. Otherwise Toshiba, Samsung, etc are great. Get a wall mounted as portables suck long term. Try and get a WiFi controlled one.

Vibes with my thinking that the 80's are back but the Cold War is not just Woke v alt-right, i'm hoping to see a return of the sub cultures bubbling away till they come up with post punk, hip hop, John Hughes teen movies, glam hair and freedom for youth. My parents went on about the cold war SO MUCH

I've found a better photo of Michael for you to use with this article. It also helps to give insight into his views on the matter.
