Who called it the Claudia Winkleman Show and not Beyond the Fringe?
The Odyssey in a nutshell 😄

What jumped out at me from the manosphere doc is that media literacy is at all time low - and yet we’re more swamped than ever with media, and that can’t be a coincidence. Young men understand they’re being fucked over by capitalism, neolibrealism, yet the the solutions they’re “offered” are scams
Can’t believe nobody wanted to read the articles nobody bothered to write
Inside the Department of War are two wolves:
"We've shut down the Colleges of War because book learnings are woke, gay, and irrelevant to war fighting."
"How come no one told us the Strait is important, there are different kinds of Kurds, Iran is big, and air power historically doesn't win wars?"
Aside from how wrong and racist this article is, O’Neill can’t even bring himself to have a position on the war itself. He just reflexively attacks people opposed to it, however powerless they are
If you can make tea you may have sugar cubes to lure so I’m going all in with dray horse.
I’m so fucking sick of these stunted dweebs and their poisonous shit and I’m a man, how must women feel about it.
Oof
European countries had many opportunities to reconsider their support for Israel’s ever-escalating wars, if they did not want to end up where they led to.
The British Government’s ongoing support for this shameless evil is completely unacceptable.
We’re all inured to corruption and bullshit now, but disgust can still harden the heart.

Surely their mate Trevor can make up the difference.
At no point did they consider that their perceived enemies have agency. That tactics are not just a thing that *they can do to others*.
Hey remember a year or so ago when the militarist buzzword de nos jours was “asymmetric”, and then the camo fetishists moved on to some other bullshit, and forgot it.
me and the other scheming viziers are wearing shoes gifted to us by the king that are way too big. we look ridiculous. the whole court is laughing at us behind our backs. honestly this is a pretty low point for us, the scheming viziers
It was the FA of times, it was the FO of times
i bet this shit sounds magical if you're fucking stupid
Distant chanting, growing louder, drawing nearer: dark tomb forever 👏 dark tomb forever 👏 dark tomb forever 👏
Yes we already knew that. Everyone did. You shouldn’t have had to check. More than one of you should have called him out on his ridiculous claim on the spot. This is why we are where we are.
Hopefully someone films it in portrait mode on their phone so I can also not watch that.
Hard to imagine a situation where you’d keep trying this obviously wrong lost cause unless payments from the proxies of a foreign state were dependent on it.
i genuinely cannot process how debased our ruling class is. these guys will walk around all day in shoes that don't fit rather than tell their boss he's wrong. this whole thing where they pretend a stupid evil guy with brain damage is qualified to run every aspect of everyone's life is unacceptable
