Reminds me of the recent GB News “documentary” on the “Yookay”, that billed itself as a “deep dive” into uncontrolled mass immigration but was actually just interviews with drill musicians and other black British people (on.ft.com/4onWiiP)

For this week's column I wrote about Grokipedia, a site that fails so badly in its mission to be more truthful and neutral than Wikipedia that even @grok itself says it instead creates a "centralised ‘Musk’s truth’ filter"

This article (£) is as insightful as concerning
"What I see is a disillusioned generation, doubtful that liberal democracy can do anything worthwhile. We need some new, fresh thinking — as well as a free and open environment in which to test, debate and challenge it — to prove it still can."

Personally I give them the time of day because, whether they are spewing bollocks or not, they are having a direct and major influence on US politics and therefore world politics. I would have thought that was quite important
Reading Thiel, Yarvin, Peterson et al. makes you realise what passes for intellectual iconoclasm these days is all absolute bollocks. Why anyone gives any of these people the time of day let alone credibility is baffling.

And here is the most striking one - discrimination in favour of (zero) or against (ten) white British people. Look at Reform voters. Absolutely clustering around SEVEN on this scale. Tories are on five and everyone else five or lower. So, here at least is something all Reform voters agree on. 11/n

“Do you really cast bad spells on people?” I ask Aspinall. “Yes, of course I do. I call it justice,” she replies sassily. “Like, if someone kidnapped, raped and killed my sister, I’d not only hex them. I’d hex their whole family under a dark moon. Fuck. That. Shit.”
