One thing I’ve come to realise about the far right is that everything that they don’t like about immigrants and all the fear mongering narrative about them is pure projection and could easily be applied to their world view easily.

the democrats would rather lose perpetually than win on the left, and they would rather lose than win too big and have people expect them to do things. their incompetence will always be proportional to the ease of victory

Been watching FURIOUS, which is surprisingly solid TV, but (mild spoiler) why did Catherine have to kill that domestic abuse shelter receptionist from the first two episodes?, just seems like needlessly cruel way to deal with that character who didn't deserve a similar fate to those she's targeting.

Am I shocked that the programme seemingly specifically designed to attack neurodivergent individuals and diminish our support needs twisted evidence to attack us and diminish support needs? Uhm...no. Not even remotely. It fits a pattern in coverage seen right now. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

it seems clear Aaron Bastani/Novara Media jumped on the Jason Arday bandwagon as a cynical ploy to pull in a conservative audience using an "acceptable target", and attempts to justify it after his suicide make the whole org completely untrustworthy.

Novara Media videos on Jason Arday:

Media Under Scrutiny Following Tragic Death Of Jason Arday
Cambridge Unleashed Racism By Hiring Jason ArdayAaron Bastani:

"Watch this presentation by Jason Arday at UCL. He says nothing for over 40 minutes. It's genuinely impressive to talk for so long and say nothing.

This isn't someone who was over-promoted - you can still be smart and have that happen. This is a conman.""Michael Walker on Novara Media starts the crucial self-reflection over the public lynching of Jason Arday by the racist media by saying:

'much of the reporting was legitimate and the personal targeting of young journalists is unpleasant and unfair.'

Yes, you heard that right."

Took you not one, not two, not three, not four, but five heat waves for there to be emergency alerts about intense heat and wildfires. which if that’s not an apt description of how useless the UK government is at doing anything meaningful, I don’t know what is.

Every set picture I see of that Possession remake reminds me of the "Manga, anime, Netflix Adaptation meme except the original is both Manga and Anime combined together whereas the remake is just Netflix adaptation.

A lot of Brad Lander supporters I’m seeing on the timeline recently, some of whom changed their tune on Graham Platner, are none of them aware that he’s a self described Zionist an Elbit systems investor and the only reason he left DSA is cause they where too anti Isreal?!
