Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

There seems to be some *confusion*
among Reform supporters over Nathan Gill being one of them
“But, but, Reform didn’t exist when he took his Russian bribes”
“But, but he was in UKIP”
“But, but it has nothing to do with Farage, he barely knew the guy”
So here’s a little history lesson 👍🏼🧵

This is a lie.
There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.
But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

I’m back to tell you 3 things about ID cards:
1. Migrants ALREADY HAVE biometric ID cards & govts have been trying to digitise them for years w repeated fuckups & failures causing complete chaos - they don’t work, you do not want that system for you.

Important fesshole PSA 📢
My son has just been 'sextorted' via an account on an app called Wizz. I've never heard of Wizz. I trusted my son to make good decisions. It looks like I forgot the verify part of trust and verify. This had been pretty awful. Parents, check in and with your children.

This is true. I live in Italy. The UK media has been whipped into a hysterical disinformation frenzy by Farage and this, in turn, has led half the population (polls are clear) to lose the plot. For anyone who lives abroad and follows British news, it is quite evident, striking and disturbing.
I've just spent a year in Italy, which gets a fair number of small boats from a much larger stretch of sea than the Channel on a daily basis and NO WAY there is such hysterical, daily political coverage of this worldwide phenomenon like here in the UK.

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.
The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.
Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

"There is a technique to talking to women which is far more effective [than how pick-up artists speak]. It is called: treat them like a fucking human being. ... You will find that your status, if this is the key variable we're worrying about, has massively increased."

OK so feeling slightly apprehensive about this, which I suppose is kind of the point. This is an attempt at a progressive view on masculinity and on men getting laid. God help me. iandunt.substack.com/p/how-to-be-...
How to be a man
The right story narrative about male attractiveness is grounded in Social Darwinism and free market economics. Can progressives tell a better story?

I can never understand why children's books get left out of "great book" lists. The books we call "children's books" are really books written for an audience that includes children, but excludes no-one. They are books for EVERYONE - and if you exclude them, you miss the most important books of all!

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.
