I’ll tell you one way to win at Whamageddon - make sure you’re writing a book with a deadline in January because all you can think about is your book and I don’t think I’ve been to a shop or listened to music radio or been within half a mile of public places with piped music since at least Halloween

Very welcome. “Biological [A] who identifies as [B]” is a stomach-churning abomination that should never have been normalised by the BBC and belongs in the same dustbin of history as all those slurs that would get this post deleted if I were to type them
We’ve today formally written to multiple public bodies about BBC reporting on transgender people.
Here’s who we’ve contacted and why. 1/6

Genuinely such an interesting long thread on why these suits look crap and yet how a particular type of crap suit has become a cultural signifier for right-wing men.
I can answer this. I interviewed Peterson's tailor a few years ago, although the interview was never published because I fell behind on work. Here is the story of this suit. 🧵
What is happening with this outfit?

When a Palestinian scholar of Arabic literature in Haifa tells me they have been disinvited from a conference in an Arab country that has no diplomatic relations with Israel because the organisers feared criticism from BDS, something is very screwy. "Should I be boycotting myself?" the scholar asks.

Look what's in close proximity to Israel's illegal attack on Doha, at least 2 nurseries, 3 schools, 6 embassies, a petrol station, a public park. This all happened in the middle of the afternoon, when schools are ending and children engaging in extra curricular activities

It’s all so stupid and evil, developed by the worst people for the worst reasons.
"Those who own land would be offered a digital token by the trust in exchange for rights to redevelop their property, to be used to finance a new life elsewhere or eventually redeemed for an apartment in one of six to eight new “AI-powered, smart cities” to be built in Gaza."
Gaza postwar plan envisions ‘voluntary’ relocation of entire population
President Donald Trump and international partners are discussing plans to build a “Riviera of the Middle East” on the rubble of Gaza. One would establish U.S. control and pay Palestinians to leave.
