Strong moment as Keir Starmer calls out the racism we’ve seen in recent weeks and months:
"Labour is proud of Britain's flags but if they are painted alongside graffiti telling a Chinese takeaway owner to 'go home', that's not pride - it's racism."

Elon Musk’s father accused of sexually abusing his children and stepchildren

The outlet said those allegations could be why the entrepreneur, who temporarily served as an adviser to the second Trump administration, rarely mentions his father – and that family members of Elon Musk have reached out for help, prompting him to sometimes take action to intercede.

The tech mogul is amping up his apocalyptic rhetoric—and adding a dangerous dose of extremism into the already-fraught culture war.

This is extrajudicial execution, without any clear threat to the US, no authorization from Congress, and far beyond even Article II. The military is not the president's personal hit squad.

Too big for a phone, maybe the rifle, I don't know much about guns but my understanding is that a long distance one is a big hefty thing difficult to lug around and maybe wouldn't have fit in his backpack. The TMZ video is probs real, in light of these photos

Telling a New Yorker reporter doing a profile on you that they're an NPC too dumb to understand your ideas is very high on the fucking around and finding out scale
I thought, not another profile. Have been read Yarvin screeds for a decade (unimpressive) and Yarvin profiles for half a decade (tedious) but I gotta say, this offers solid payoffs - the Masters of the Universe are reflexive contrarians enamored of a lightweight.
