Not that Jim O’Neill but I’m interested in Economics, though that’s not what the Andrew pays me for.

Instagram has become a marketplace for neo-Nazis. Influencers are using the platform’s massive reach to glorify Hitler, deny the Holocaust, and sell merchandise. Their content, drenched in antisemitism, misogyny, and racism, reaches millions daily. Meta knows it — but refuses to act.

Quick thread on the BBC and the political and societal significance of recent developments:
One of the main reasons the UK has historically been so much less polarised than the US, is that Britain has a shared source of information, consumed and trusted by most people regardless of their politics.

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.

Given how much the China spy case has dominated headlines, it really does beg the question: why is our political-media class so uninterested in Nathan Gill, his Russian bribes, his once close associate Nigel Farage, and Reform UK?

Let’s be clear here:
The only thing that Zarah Sulana supports is an end to western security, and the subjugation of the United Kingdom and the European continent to Russia and a Chinese imperialism.
And Your Party most definitely does too.

It’s impossible to avoid the conclusion that large parts of Westminster remaining on X - a platform that tolerates and amplifies extremism and racism - has led a great many people to normalise what previously was unacceptable.

Yeah, this. That first Worldcon was in 1939, looking at pictures of cosplay from early SF cons (and of other events at them) is fun. (As is reading about the history of fandom, IMHO, YMMV.)

As I'm waking up more - I don't want to ignore the role of women in pre-Trek SF fandom. I mean, Morojo basically invented con cosplay, and did it at NYCon (Worldcon 1). And I could probably go on for hours but really there are books on this stuff.

The actual regime that these people are hankering after is Dubai: a small elite of citizens, most immigrants to be transient, insecure and all immigrants to be second-class. In reality they would hate the world they would create and would find ever-more ridiculous scapegoats for their failure.

Where previously there was one death for every three wounded, now it’s almost one-to-one.
