I read this book about 7 years ago - all that was documented, all it evidenced about what was building, the libertarian movement, who was behind it, why and how they were building influence... it's predictions are coming to fruition before my eyes every day

Great work by Bellingcat. If we don't get a handle on this stuff soon, I feel like we are going to see the deliberate breakdown of civilisation as we know it... I'm not saying some things don't need breaking and re-imagining, but not like this surely...

that's a huge generalisation - there are still some great non-political guests on JRE and some fascinating and gripping long form interviews that I love. I agree that in last couple of years he has veered into territory that doesn't align to my values - but don't judge a man by his podcasts!

as a Brit it always amuses me that a word we have for a 'fart' is 'trump' - I trumped! so whenever I see this stuff, I see Fart Fragrance, a much more appropriate and, I imagine, accurate description.

"1% of the population own half the land in England...the media have portrayed a very distorted view of the countryside, how land is used & who owns it"

Great to speak to @mrjamesob.bsky.social on @lbc.co.uk about the #ClarksonTax protests - watch the full interview:

International Mens Day International Men’s Day (IMD) is celebrated on 19 November every year and is marked in around 80 countries worldwide.

Can't think of a better first post on here than to bring attention to International Men's Day. Violent crime, drug abuse, imprisonment, homelessness, isolation and so many more negative outcomes are overwhelmingly male issues.
Let's create supportive spaces for men.
