the City of Boise's increasingly aggressive campaign against the state's repeated attempt to ban pride flags flown by cities is extremely funny

rev. howard arson@theophite.bsky.social · 5d ago

i have never seen a higher density of pride flags than in Boise

It’s a Klan Rally. These people only have to hear a name that their lizard brains process as sounding Arabic and hate immediately pours out.

LOMBARDO: So I know the pastor spoke about Officer Abdelnabi-- TRUMP RALLY CROWD: *Boooooo* LOMBARDO: No. We're not booing him. He's the officer that passed away here recently

My statement on the harmful EHRC guidance coming in to force today 🏳️‍⚧️

This is what happened 5-10 years ago in the UK. Journalistic seriousness was stripped from trans journalists and columnists despite trans topics dominating headlines.

I pitched both of my usual outlets about the Cunningham stuff, one said yes, one said not right now. In 2019 I would have had a dozen editors competing for my words on this.

Jason Arday resigns. Regardless of everything, hard not to feel like he has been repeatedly failed by serial institutions, which failed to instruct him or guide him into reputable academic work, and traded off his story without checking it.

in 2016 Elon Musk said he would build a fully automated factory in Fremont, California for the upcoming Model 3 and he then spent on the order of $2 billion on production lines that didn't work, forcing Tesla to assemble cars by hand in a tent but sure, now he's gonna do it on the moon

Amazing. American racists get confirmed to top roles in the Department of Justice, while British racists get rejected from standing as local councillors. We’ve still got so far to fall.

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 3h ago

Gonna go out on a limb here and say racist cranks who write for extremist white nationalist websites like VDARE should not, in fact, be confirmed to top roles in the Department of Justice.

I actually can't believe this Joshua Bonehill-Paine story. I was at Jewish News as a journalist when he was in his Nazi pomp, sending harassing messages to Luciana Berger, and other Jewish public figures. How has Kemi Badenoch chosen this hill to die on, it's absolutely insane

these two absolute clowns look like a weak Thursday evening cop drama on ITV1. She's the chippy boss who everyone mistakes for the rookie copper; he's the dim, posh sidekick and between them they never actually solve any crime.

Burnham seems to be commanding the battle for the attention economy 36% have seen content from Burnham - including over half of 18-24 year olds. 16% have seen Farage content, no one else cracks 10%. Some of this will be the prime ministerial pulpit; but it’s lodging with people.

There's a fun conversation on Times Radio right now about the SpaceX moon crash where the interviewer is asking why we shouldn't be more concerned about this crash, and the space expert is explaining where the Moon is and the likelihood of casualties

I've read Private Eye since I was a teenager. Slightly giddy that someone there has been reading our work.

Missouri elections be like: Hitler (R) 79% - Christ (D) 21% And then the ballot initiative: Amend the Missouri constitution to require the state to own the means of production and work towards full communism? Yes 92% - No 8%

I'm glad it's been declined. It's a sadly familiar routine perpetrators trying to use victims to launder their reputation. If someone genuinely wants to make amends they do so quietly and on the victim's terms. They don't trumpet their plans to meet in the media. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I actually think that there is one very important difference, which is that Zack's problems broadly stem from being an idiot in a not especially unusual way, whereas Kemi's stem from being from the planet Zebulon Five

I actually think they are such similar people fundamentally, honestly

These tolls are *dramatically* higher than Iran was asking for a couple of months ago.

Bill Grueskin@bgrueskin.bsky.social · 5h ago

Reuters: Iran wants fees of 5%-7% of the price of cargo from ships using the strait; Oman wants 3%. "Making fees voluntary, at least nominally, could be a way out of the impasse, although an implied threat of Iranian attacks could mean shippers would be ​unlikely to risk transit without paying."

Question how could this BBC Breaking News alert have looked worse for the Conservatives

In 2011, the UK government response to antitrans provocations was "Don't be so bloody stupid".

web.archive.org/web/20260108... Here's an archive link of the original business guidance in case the original goes missing. In pretty clear terms the original guidance used to say stuff like "obviously, so long as the changing rooms allow privacy, trans women should be permitted to use the womens"

This edition is a bit meta. Consider it a sequel to yesterday's Rod Liddle obituary.

You do not need AI to make content. I just found a TikTok account that is just a glass of milk in different locations listening to rock music. It has tens of thousands of followers.

As UK opposition leader I vigorously defended the selection of a neo-Nazi and convicted antisemitic abuser as a local candidate, and when he withdrew, made him an adviser on party culture
