also includes horseshoe theory and uncritical use of ‘woke’ completely unmoored from real meaning, but what else would you expect from scientific racism pricks

A new Handbook of Evolutionary Psychology has just been published, in which it is claimed that the human species is polytypic: not only is race biologically meaningful but the races are distinct enough to be considered subspecies. Published by Elgar. In 2026.

Chapters in Part III take stock of the current state of evolutionary psychology, by casting wider attention to other social and behavioral sciences and assessing the field's influence on them. In Chapter 11 ('Evolutionary psychology and anthropology'), Heiner Rindermann identifies three major forces that oppose scientific anthropology: Religion, National Socialism ('Nazism'), and woke leftist ideology. Ironically, in this sense, woke left ideologues, who include most anthropologists themselves, geneticists, and other university academics, share much in common with the Nazis in their common opposition to scientific anthropology. Rindermann's extensive review of the literature leaves no doubt that humans are genetically polytypic and contain different biological races or 'subspecies' At the end of the chapter, Rindermann delivers devastating rebuttals to all potential arguments against the notion of races/subspecies among humans.

wavering on joining an organisation and just noticed that their social feeds are here (rare enough!), the Meta sites and LinkedIn, but pointedly no Twitter. Genuinely has swayed my decision, because that indicates some real world ethical thinking has been done

a mainstream leftist media in this country should (rightly) also bang on about the 70s, but as the culmination of 30 years of victories, with income equality levels and the apogee of public housing provision. These are the unconscious reasons why the right are so obsessed with the period imo

It is IMO bold to try frightening people with the spectre of the scary 1970s when we are approaching year 19 of rocket-propelled decline since the 08 crash, in a country where there has been almost no change for the better in decades.

it's been too many weeks since we were all given a good hectoring and told that we're actually having a psychotic break for not understanding we are in fact richer than god. Ooft I for one needed that

Was curious about the whole going "we need to be where we were 40 years ago" thing. Found this from the ONS - real disposable incomes today are almost twice that of 1986. Obviously there's a lot that needs fixing (housing!). But I feel like this is relevant...? www.ons.gov.uk/economy/gros...

omg this website needs more of Nick explaining things succinctly, I know nothing of football but I do like to understand news

Nick Walker@nickwalker.bsky.social · last wk.

Key detail is football clubs aren't meant to spend more than they earn (like if they are owned by e.g. a billionaire or an opaque sovereign investment fund, to prevent them from essentially buying success). Authorities found out City had years of fake earnings from 'sponsors' funded by their owners.

big trend for octogenarian parent phonecalls is having family news that you’re well aware of from the groupchat explained to you, in great detail. Saying ‘ I already saw this on the groupchat, yes’ does not really alter the process even a tiny bit

Condemnation is pure hot air if in the next breath you’re telling everyone you’re doing your best to give the fascists what they want, just without the masks

In fact, these are scenes we have not seen on British streets. Immigration needs to be deal with, I will be the first to say that and we are dealing with it. The boat crossings have been halved since six years ago, net migration is down massively.

Exclusive: I asked Andy Burnham about the gangs of masked thugs marauding around parts of our country and asked if he and his government should be doing more to call out their actions He called them ‘poisonous’ amongst other strong words. His condemnation was unequivocal. Full story here 👇
