From this review- “Think of all the diligent, decent black academics who have been lumbered with the embarrassment of having Arday as a figurehead” - no, think of *why* black academics are held collectively responsible in ways that white academics are not

I think functionally all of the post-resignation coverage that was about him rather than Cambridge was excessive (e.g. this poisonous review of a book nobody is going to buy - why)

Given Rupert Lowe's son has just married a Libyan-Italian woman [and a muslim?] with Italian nationality, Rupert Lowe's future grandkids will not be 'white British' under his definition. bsky.app/profile/rola...

Rupert Lowe: 'It is a fact that by 2063, white British people will be a minority on current trends. I don't think anyone disputes that.' It is massively disputed and is not remotely a fact, coming as it does from the Matt Goodwin school of demographic analysis (i.e. it's total rubbish).

Unbelievably, Buttigieg is now saying Biden shouldn't have snubbed Musk. This is despite the sociopathic weirdo since outing himself as a Nazi and trying to provoke race war in Europe. The appeasement of Oligarchs never ends.

Asher Elbein@asherelbein.bsky.social · 3w ago

Buttigieg's consistently soft handling of Tesla and SpaceX -- and thus, of Elon Musk -- is a big old flashing vulnerability if any one of his political rivals want to land an nasty and entirely justified hit on him going forward

Bombshell new report out from my investigators this morning spanning our four year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s financial records. This report shows exactly how Wall Street protected Epstein and enabled his sex trafficking for decades. Mega thread following with some key points:

The ebook for "Hiding in Plain Sight" is $2.99 at Bookshop.org and all those other places. Highly recommend. I read the book and listened to the audiobook when it came out— in addition to Jason Stanley's and Tim Snyder's. And they were all correct.

Because of the ridiculous, entirely undue, influence they have in Westminster and over TV newsrooms (the latter drives the former), the right-wing newspapers are the single most destructive force in the UK today - and the biggest obstacle to significant change. It's been the same for years.

1/ I've known quite a bit about Posh George Cottrell for a long time. Until now, most of the UK media has studiously ignored Farage's extremely close associaton with this aristo-criminal, whose background (before crypto) is in hyper-dodgy offshore "money business" for Russian oligarchs.
