It’s really awful that the Byzantines would ritually mutilate former rulers to keep them from taking the throne again but on the other hand this did mean no one had to suffer through episodes of the Nikephoros Bryennios Podcast Hour.
Liz Truss, who served 44 days as UK prime minister, goes full Curtis Yarvin.
Interviewing Yarvin on her new podcast, she calls for overhauling UK government to fit his vision.
“I agree with you, having spent 10 years in the system, you need to start from scratch,” Truss tells Yarvin.

Per "internal documents written between 2023 and 2025 and viewed by The Washington Post... Instagram staffers considered the mandate to boost teen metrics their top goal last year," including "boosting their messaging activity... to set up an early pipeline for lifelong use of Meta’s platforms."

people crying over chomsky on this website are repulsive frankly. he was quite plainly a piece of shit long before anything related to epstein came out
fuck right off with this too please.
Chomsky has been quite clear that he doesn’t think his relationship with Epstein is anyone else’s business and we can and should draw adverse inferences from that.
sorry he wrote some things you liked; bold thinkers can be monsters too.

Noam Chomsky’s emails to Jeffrey Epstein display none of the fawning chatter found from, say, Larry Summers. And he does not appear to have been co-opted by whatever access Epstein provided.

the most important thing to remember when you see eugenicists who don’t believe that autistic people should exist rambling about “the autism epidemic” is not that they’re wrong about the “cause” (although they are absolutely wrong about it); it’s that they are eugenicists

Orwell hated the theatre of moral absolutes that let people excuse cruelty as duty.
“They are only doing their duty” was his warning about bureaucratised violence of the kind being carried about by ICE in the USA and often cheered on by Musk.

My granddad's cousin went to Spain in early '37 to fight the fascists and kept a diary of his experience. One entry read that he'd been shown how to clean his rifle by another, more experienced, Englishman by the name of Eric Blair. So yeah, I think we all know what Orwell would think.
When speaking to Tommy Robinson at the far right demonstration in London today, Elon Musk wore a t-shirt saying "What would Orwell think?"
So let's dive in - what would George Orwell think about Tommy Robinson and Elon Musk? 🧵

If there was any meaning to this obsolete undemocratic and generally terrible concept of monarchy, it would be the king stepping up now and saying that all Nazis should jump of the Dover cliffs and then human rights respecting liberal democracy is the only way forward.

Israel has impressive military, but also a joke of of "justice" and "law enforcement" systems, let alone the tragedy that is human rights there.

In total 15 died, they claimed on methane, well more likely they were hit by own chloride gases they use frequently but who knows, in any case better to leave Kurdistan
🇮🇶🇹🇷 12 Turkish soldiers have died, with 15+ in very critical conditions, after a failed search operation for a dead Turkish serviceman in northern Iraq. The unit entered a cave that was exposed to methane gas.
The death toll is expected to rise further.
