Trump Still Polling Well With Working-Class American Pedophiles  WASHINGTON—Despite the president’s sagging approval rating overall, a Gallup Poll released Tuesday confirmed that Donald Trump’s support remained overwhelmingly strong among working-class American pedophiles. “Even though his polling numbers among Americans who are not sexually attracted to children have hit a second-term low, the president’s approval rating is still an impressive 80% among child rapists […]

We can breathe a sigh of relief because the new Naked Gun film is actually really fucking funny.

‘The world is on edge’: five tumultuous weeks with David Lammy, foreign secretary at a time of crisis His first 12 months at the Foreign Office have been hit by a string of high-stakes international flashpoints, from the unfolding horror in Gaza to regime change in Syria and Trump’s humiliation of Zel...

Journalists ‘embedding’ with serving government ministers raises the exact same issues as when they ‘embed’ with invading armies.

Everything about this feels badly misjudged. But above all the lack of critical questioning on Gaza.

Rewatching the classic that is The Wire and I gotta say nobody does drunk acting quite as well as Dominic West and Wendell Pierce. If there was an Emmy for Best Drunk Acting they'd be getting lifetime achievement awards.

let me throw some fuel on the fire that is the discourse about boys getting laid!!! current-day manopshere content is not good at getting boys laid and that's an effect of the incentives at play. you cannot build an audience of resentful little virgins if you succeed at helping them to have sex

I don't post much about football on here but there's something so satisfying about Newcastle United's Saudi sportswashing project continuously missing out on players to Man United who don't even have Champions League football to offer.

Been wanting to do this for ages and I have to say, it feels good to know my money isn't lining Daniel Ek's pockets so he can invest in weapons of destruction while polluting our music culture with AI slop.

Despite the chaos of its launch, Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana’s new party has struck a nerve | Andy Beckett Scathing rightwing coverage contains a revealing note of alarm: this is more than just a rebellion, and it’s gaining supporters fast, says Guardian columnist Andy Beckett

The sneering condescension from these centre-left realpolitik Guardian writer's is exactly what makes the Corbyn-Zultana political project so appealing. We're sick of your socialist-lite posturing.

Could the rise in antisemitism be coz you spent decades conflating criticism of Israel with antisemitism as a diversionary tactic that's backfired now you're committing genocide?

Shmuley: No, I don't think it's that. I think, maybe, hear me out...God is an antisemite.

What’s a technology that you think is overhyped?

I’m going to give a sideways answer to this, which is that the venture capital business model needs to be understood as requiring hype. You can go back to the Netscape IPO, and that was the proof point that made venture capital the financial lifeblood of the tech industry.

Venture capital looks at valuations and growth, not necessarily at profit or revenue. So you don’t actually have to invest in technology that works, or that even makes a profit, you simply have to have a narrative that is compelling enough to float those valuations. So you see this repetitive and exhausting hype cycle as a feature in this industry. A couple of years ago, you would have been asking me about the metaverse, then last year, you would have asked me about Web3 and crypto, and for each of these inflection points there’s an Andreessen Horowitz manifesto.

It’s not simply that one piece of technology is overhyped, it’s that hype is a necessary ingredient of the current business ecosystem of the tech industry. We should examine how often the financial incentive for hype is rewarded without any real social returns, without any meaningful progress in technology, without these tools and services and worlds ever actually manifesting. That’s key to understanding the growing chasm between the narrative of techno-optimists and the reality of our tech-encumbered world.

The media are really working hard to create this jilted former NFL player narrative for that shooting in New York when it seems obvious and way more likely that this is a Luigi 2.0 situation.

Great news: the High Court has granted permission for a full judicial review of the government's order proscribing Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act.
Let's hope he government's idiotic and draconian order is overturned.

I will never not understand how a minority of people have decided that wind farms - significantly prettier than pylons, coal power plants, nuclear power plants, and almost certainly fusion power plants - are ugly. In terms of energy generation, what else are you hoping for that is better?

Israeli military says airdrops of aid into Gaza set to begin tonight amid increased starvation deaths For months, the U.N. and experts have warned that Palestinians in Gaza are at risk of famine, with reports of increasing numbers of people dying from causes related to malnutrition.

"Airdrops will not reverse the deepening starvation," UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini wrote on X on Saturday. "They are expensive, inefficient & can even kill starving civilians. It is a distraction & screensmoke."
