I’m going to shut up about him after this because I’m as sick of hearing about him as everyone else, but: I think it’s important to understand that the media wagon-circling around someone like liddle is the reason saville et al were able to get away with horrendous acts of abuse for decades

Yeah, I am furious that the whole media class eulogised a BNP level racist and paedophile who admitted to punching a pregnant women. I'm furious that they jumped at an opportunity to chide the nasty left without - some of the claim - knowing anything about what he did or bothering to look it up.

Since we're only allowed to criticise dangers to women while they're alive, check this where T Parkes went to a meeting, saw a random woman of East Asian appearance, wrote a wank fantasy about how she looked exactly like a performer of *particularly* hardcore porn, and @thequietus.com published it.

Young volunteers in hi-vis jackets are acting as stewards, wandering up and down the aisles. One is the absolute spit of Roxy Jezel - if you don't know who that is, you're a better man than I - and I'm ashamed to say I do a double take before it dawns on me that... nah, it probably won't be her. A man with a megaphone tries to tell the crowd that someone's dropped their wallet, but his megaphone has broken.

Content warning: comics nerdery. I loved Harvey's work. He gave a leg-up to Sacco, Haspiel, Woodring, Chet Brown, Bechdel and many more. He was a difficult, grumpy bastard and most of this is probably triplicate complaints about co-workers… but it's worth saving. www.kickstarter.com/projects/735...

According to the parliamentary annual report & accounts for the 2025/26 financial year, the cost of subsidising the bars in the House of Commons alone was around £5.8 million. Meanwhile, to save £3 million less than that, Jodrell Bank is being defunded and shut down. share.google/MRHIvCsCsKoc...

There's Cat Boyd giving an interview to an anti-trans, anti-immigration Irish Republican blog. Seems she's learned nothing from her fawning praise for Nina "I'm totally a Nazi now" Power, about which we went mysteriously quiet after the full details of the Luke Turner trial emerged

if your position is that you won’t protest Netanyahu because people further left might be present but that you will instead sign a petition to support Naftali Bennett and Gadi Eisenkot you are not by any objective measure a liberal, even if you are trying to convince yourself that you still are.

also, if your proposed alternative to protesting is to “make clear that we stand with Israelis like former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, former prime ministers Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid” who all oppose a Palestinian state, describing yourself as a liberal Zionist is just window dressing

If this is really true, I feel like you were not that motivated to protest in the first place. www.jta.org/2026/07/31/i...

Concerns over fake phenomena cannot be held in good faith. There's no such thing as "good faith" concern over razorblades in Halloween apples or vaccines causing autism. If you still have 'concerns' about these issues you are uninformed, a bigot or being manipulated. No other option.
