Faux Fox

Christian Nationalists are christians like the National Socialists were socialists.

> 'the $822, 641 fund the Reagans raised from private donors to refurbish their living quarters'

That has...resonances.

How apposite.

The whole 'Great Man' thing is deeply suspect, IMO. Even extraordinarily influential individuals (for better or worse) don't generally become so in a vacuum.

Superb set of photos. He definitely captured a transition in British urban/industrial history. I imagine it was an excellent exhibition.

> 'the sale of massive amounts of product into the United States'

We'll ignore his idiot son's significant contribution to the demand side of the equation, shall we?

It’s reminiscent of Sartre on antisemitism:

“They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words.”

And Blair seemed the harbinger of that 'bag a PPE degree, a researcher post after, et volia, a career in politics' ethos...

Sans any actual political convictions, of course.

I don't think that was a failure, I'm pretty sure it was by design. Either way, still downright wrong.

Exclusive: Chinese buyers book at least 10 Argentine soybean cargoes, sources say Chinese buyers have booked at least 10 cargoes of soybeans from Argentina, three traders told Reuters on Tuesday, taking advantage of low prices to build inventories for the fourth quarter amid Sino-U.S. trade tensions.

4. And why, during this bailout, has nobody raised any questions over the Argentina - China soybean deal?

The Marxist left are in control? For sure they'll be the ones behind the MCATs & an increasingly monetised sector, the erosion of arts & humanities, our children delivered to adulthood burdened with debt, & all the other depredations.

Yeah, we should definitely watch those Marxists.

Excellent article & even more excited to be going next month now. I like that it's held regularly outside of the capital. Public discussion of art is part of the prize's raison d'etre & this (& attendant media coverage) encourages it.

FFS, WTAF is wrong with this government?

(Yes, I realise that certainly exceeds Bsky's wordcount limit)

And many of the places experiencing it have actual housing enough for their populations...just insufficient affordable housing. A roof over your head and freedom from housing insecurity should be a basic human right in a developed country.

Thanks also.

FWIW, I think the insanity has slipped beyond national boundaries. Plenty of countries have their own home grown idiocy too, now.

Sorry for the delay, but looks like Charles Xavier had you covered anyway.

First reaction was 'is this even real?' It is. I've seen medbeds in the QAnon adj posts online for a while, often with prop medbays from the film Elysium or Zap-X radiosurgery units being passed off as them.

Seeing this nonsense loose outside those kind of forums is...disturbing.

Rude, ignorant & joyless seem to be traits that are overrepresented in that demographic.

Charge him with what, exactly?

How sad. A phenomenal musician. His graceful, unerringly tasteful touch brought soul and beauty to everything he played on. Rest in peace, Mr Thompson, and thank you for all you brought.

And 38 years later Sarah Ferguson is topical again.

I imagine he will be very, very angry and we’ll deserve it.

Well put. I feel that consevatism has been steadily redefined since Reagan.

Yet another US Conservative body & founded by Ben 'pyramids were giant grain silos' Carson, who proved during Trump Admin l that you can be top of your game in one area while being a moron in others.

Kirk was adept at framing platforms for his obnoxious views as 'debate'. It gave him a rather misleading veneer of 'reasonableness' when actually those 'debates' were really polemical attacks on tolerance, equality & more.

Yay, you've just reminded me I like this and haven't bought it in forever.

Indeed she did and articulated it too. It's something I like to bring up when confronting Tory types chunnering on about the evils of net zero. For those who might not be aware of this:

Strange bedfellows indeed!

If the 'light' is Glasman and Yarvin, I'd honestly rather stay in the dark.
