My son recently found a swastika drawn on the pavement at... The Manchester attack didn't come as a shock. The only surprise is it hasn’t happened sooner

I wrote a short piece for the Observer on the attacks in Manchester.

How Bret Stephens and Bari Weiss have taken theΒ NY Times’ campus concern trolling to new heights in just 2 years

With news that Bari Weiss is going to be the new EIC at CBS News, I wanted to reup this piece I wrote 6 years ago about how she and Bret Stephens helped turn NYT into a moral panic factory www.mediamatters.org/new-york-tim...

If you're interested in Paramount, CBS News, the Free Press, or the right-wing takeover of the media, please help spread this around and let's see if we can find out anything interesting :-)

New article from The Free Press

My Favorite Actress Is Not Human

β€œNot everyone is happy about this gorgeous innovation,” writes Tyler Cowen.

Tilly Norwood doesn’t need a hairstylist, has no regrettable posts, and if you wish to see a virgin on-screen, this is one of your better chances. That’s because she’s AI.

Absolutely great to hear @cathmckenna.bsky.social speak at @utoronto.ca’s Trinity College tonight. Her new book is β€œRun Like a Girl” and boy, she sold it.

The people at this ostrich farm are the same gang that opposed M-103, co-opted yellow vests, push UN / WEF conspiracies, opposed lockdowns, face masks and vaccines, occupied Ottawa, harassed people at drag story time events etc

It’s all the same far-right influencers and content creators every time

RCMP investigate alleged assault of woman who lives beside B.C. ostrich farm The RCMP are providing round the clock protection for a B.C., resident who lives next to Universal Ostrich Farms (UOF) after a masked man doused the woman in gasoline and punched her in the face.

A 72-year-old woman who lives next to that ostrich farm where a group of convoy people are camping out was doused in gasoline and physically assaulted by a man in a balaclava who may have been trying to light her in fire

She says she survived the attack by kicking the man in the nuts and biting him

Thanks @lucympowell.bsky.social. Every kind person, every not-particularly-kind-but-just-sensible person should oppose this cruel and unworkable ban. The traditional β€œsort yourselves out” policy is the only way to run a public bathroom.

I’m in London for a few months every winter and each time I go back I’m struck by how the air, and traffic, is noticeably better than the last time.

β€œThe Ulez scheme, introduced in 2019, meant the drivers of the most polluting cars had to pay a Β£12.50 daily charge.
The zone was extended across the whole of Greater London in August 2023, creating the world's biggest pollution charging zone.”
And walk or bike through London, you feel it.

Something our glorious Secretary of War does not seem to have considered is that the reason military PT and grooming standards, plus policies for EEO and abuse reporting, are the way they are is because they're necessary for recruitment and retention

The ceremony took place at the Beechwood National Cemetery, where Dr. Peter Bryce is buried.

It’s both depressing and darkly hilarious how Lawfare posting has gone from β€œwe got him on an Article 33, Clause 8, Subsection Alpha infraction, baby cannon time!” to *slams whisky bottle down* β€œthe law is fake and I challenge John Roberts to a fistfight at the Walmart parking lot.”

There’s an even bigger conspiracy and it goes even deeper. It turns out that well over half of Parliament and thousands of councillors around the country are all members of a leftist organisation called β€œThe Labour Party”.

Do not let the length of the latest @shaunvids.bsky.social spook you. I promise by the end you’ll wish it was four hours longer. Keep your eyes open for some CanCon.

I hope there will come a day soon where it dawns on someone in Starmer’s team that their strategy of communicating β€œNigel Farage is right about everything but please vote for us instead” is fuelling these disastrous figures rather than mitigating them, but today is not that day

Update to this story on a group that trains people to work in clubs run by Zlatko Starkovski, a longtime Ford Nation figure: Ontario's public accounts show the group got an additional $3.3M in grants from the Skills Development Fund last year, for a total of more than $9.8M.

I am not anti-fishing.

I am not anti- shark fishing.

But hammerheads in particular are species of significant conservation concern, and one of the worst candidates for β€œcatch and release” of any known fish species.

And it’d be nice if media coverage *of hammerhead fishing* mentioned that
