"iN PLACE OF OLD BOURGEOIS SOCIETY, WITH ITS CLASSES AND CLASS ANTAGONISMS, WE SHALL HAVE AN ASSOCIATION IN WHICH THE FREE DEVELOPMENT OF EACH IS THE CONDITION FOR THE FREE DEVELOPMENT OF ALL"

The Times, one of the leading voices when it comes to 'protecting women and girls' calling a man who assaulted his young pregnant girlfriend, said he would rape the kids if he was a teacher and called for child sex abuse porn to be legal, 'brilliant'

The Times full page - ‘Brilliant, provocative, inimitable’
Rod Liddle, who has died aged 66, combined a serious intellect with razor-sharp wit, writes Alex Farber

Like, 'we must save Western civilisation' is another fig leaf that never gets any scrutiny in UK media. No questions from journalists, nothing like, 'You're speaking of key thinkers in Western civilisation like Marx and Engels, Butler, the Frankfurt school, and Wollstonecraft? Right?'

Maybe whenever someone says 'some cultures are better than others' journalists should ask them to clarify which cultures, and if white English men rioting every summer these past few years may reflect broader white English culture

Right, here we go. This week's Disk Cleanup is with Raphaël Colantonio, co-director of Dishonored and director of Prey. We discussed tactics games, Cyberpunk's choices, and his love for a certain '90s stealth game... www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

'The last time I liked everything about a game was probably Baldur's Gate 3': Raphael Colantonio, co-founder of Arkane Studios, talks us through the games installed on his PC

Lovecraftian misadventures, cat-breeding tactics games and, of course, Thief.

they should stop using the stalin/yezhov photo as the go-to example of Soviet censorship and start using the much funnier 1963 cut of Lenin In October, where they replaced every appearance of Stalin with The Back Of Some Guy's Head

Shot from the 1937 cut of Lenin In October. Lenin addresses the Central Committee. Gathered around him are Moisei Uritsky, Joseph Stalin, Felix Dzerzhinsky, and Yakov Sverdlov.Lenin addresses the Central Committee in the 1963 cut. Dzerzhinsky and Sverdlov are still visible on Lenin's left, but Stalin (and, by necessity, Uritsky) are entirely obscured by the back of some guy's head, who has been haphazardly edited into the scene.Lenin declares the worker-peasant revolution at the 2nd All-Russian Congress of Soviets in the 1937 cut. Stalin is right beside him (where actually Trotsky was in the real event).Lenin declares the revolution in the 1963 cut. Stalin has again been obscured by the back of a guy's head, edited in so poorly as to look like a guy who accidentally wandered into shot.

Rowling looming over a progressive Irish cultural festival with her menacing insinuations & a phalanx of expensive lawyers dashing off legal letters. And all because the organisers don’t want transphobes peddling hate at their event. A nauseating spectacle of spite.

absolutely crazy you guys are going to play a major AAAA release launch on your blu ray player before you play it on a proper gaming machine running a proper gaming interface (linux)

Something a bit more personal than usual: For the last 10 years my dad has been struggling with a version of ALS, a terrible neuromuscular disease. He's kept up his spirits by making photo books chronicling his life as a photographer+traveler. I'm helping sell them now to pay for nursing care:

Lost behind the incendiary headline and subhead is a third of respondents to More in Common’s survey apparently believe in ‘remigration’, that is, the forced, rapid expulsion of millions of British people who aren’t white to countries they have never lived in. This is a form of genocide

Britain’s identity is being erased by diversity, public believe
About 40pc of people polled believe Muslims are incapable of integration
