Possibly my favourite "leaving the left" conversion story was that Canadian grad student Lindsay Shepherd, who when trying to define what was progressive about her politics before, said that she took the bus

Am I misremembering here, didn't Amala get hired by PragerU when she was like 19? When exactly was her time on the left?

To everyone in Britain's Jewish Community: you are not alone.

We will not let hate or those who spread it win.

We stand with you.

To everyone in Britain's Jewish Community: you are not alone. We will not let hate or those who spread it win. We stand with you.

On Yom Kippur many Jewish people in Britain have their phones off to mark the holy day.

As it ends at 723pm, some will hear the tragic Manchester news for the first time.

At that time, please join many of us to send a message of solidarity to British Jews.Thanks Together coalition for proposing.

Trump’s USAID pause stranded lifesaving drugs. Children died waiting. USAID antimalarial and HIV supplies valued at nearly $140 million were delayed in the first half of the year or not delivered at all due to the Trump administration’s foreign aid pause, The Post found...

Do you know about shitposting? It’s cheap humour, rage bait – and now, it seems, US government policy | Robert Topinka Donald Trump’s White House reveals a new β€˜portrait’ of Joe Biden – and in his world, if you don’t laugh, the joke’s on you, says Robert Topinka of Birkbeck, University of London

happy to report that the world is now so stupid that my knowledge of shitposting has become valuable enough to publish in the Guardian.

My favorite part is I got to call JD Vance a try-hard who can't even shitpost properly in print.

One thing that really stands out at the moment is how much of the stuff driving all this is utterly, *completely* untethered from reality. This is nothing to do with climate change, it's ingroup signalling to a very small number of people who have been utterly radicalised.

You only needed to look at the overwhelming success of stuff like Libs of TikTok, a crowdsourced campaign to get teachers fired for the crime of being gay on social media, to see this. But it seems that for lots of media types, it's only real cancel culture if it's people like them losing their jobs

I'm planning to go into it longform for a series but basically for men: much more explicitly sexualised, and content focuses on putting down other women in openly misogynist terms. For women: more religion-oriented, more ethnically diverse, and fashion is either trendy or 'modest' vintage, not sexy

Yeah I find that such a funny snag of patriarchal purity culture. Ah damn we raised all these girls to think sex was degrading and devalued them and now they won't be sexy insatiable wives!!

1 thing I find v interesting is how the tradwives who are pitching to a male audience and those who are pitching to women have pretty much nothing in common. They're both talking about how wonderful patriarchy is but the imaginative landscape for what that actually looks like is completely different

01.10.2025 16:07 β€” πŸ‘ 103    πŸ” 11    πŸ’¬ 3    πŸ“Œ 2

Theres a few tradwife influencers who also do onlyfans and will say stuff like "well this allows me to stay in the home and put my family first". I dont find it all that much more contradictory than how they all describe their online businesses as totally different to the bad girlboss kind of career

The hatred of unruly bodies, human physicality in all of its diversity, bodies that refuse to be disciplined, is really a central part of contemporary fascism.

Yes, I think there is an interesting tension brewing between the Tech Right and the Trads, which hasn't really resulted in any serious conflicts yet but I imagine still could. I spoke a little about it for QAA on the Christians who think AI is demonic m.soundcloud.com/qanonanonymo...

What's funny is it's a great line but if I heard someone say this w no other context in 2025 I would probably assume they were a fascist. I feel like the intellectuals of the far right are really moving towards that embodied intuition, Ways of Knowing, anti-cyborg stuff lately

I also think (though this one did not surprise me personally as much, I think its hard for others) many don't understand centrist extremism. Our use of "moderate" to denote both the centre of the spectrum and a psychological disposition of being relatively chill is actually seriously misleading here

I recently subscribed to QAA and came across that episode in the back catalog like a week or two back... It is really horrifying that this is going to embolden those grifters. Truly the scum of the Earth.

Something particularly greasy about how low the overhead can be. Tesla Biohealing was selling services with zero tangible products at one point (They seem to sell "biohealing canisters" to their licensed centers now), and the storefront was a wholesaler for aspiring grifters who wanted brand backing
