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.

Zuckerberg did one thing clever in his life, making a perving site he then pivoted into a site for your auntie to be racist on. Everything else has failed or he bought. He's not even proper evil, just an absolute dork with too much power.

It is interesting that Brexit has failed just about as comprehensively as any human project can. Yet our entire establishment remains utterly signed up to it.

When centrists adopt far-right rhetoric, they don’t make themselves stronger. They make themselves look inauthentic, legitimise the far right, and shift the political debate onto terrain defined by their opponents.

You may be thinking "How can an entire political party be organized around the policy of taking from everyone and giving to the rich? No one would vote for them." Well that's where Lying comes in

At this point I think I may be one of an incredibly small number of people to have read the second Sullivan report in detail. It is uniformly poor scholarship, containing flagrant fabrications and misrepresentations, calling into question Alice Sullivan's ability to conduct basic academic research

It is deeply irresponsible for organisations to continue to use X as their primary social media platform.
When I poke my head back it’s a combo of scam adverts, not-so-soft porn, insane conspiracy vids, and copyright theft of Hollywood films.
Andddd a surprising number of journalists/normal-ish people just trying to post through it all with almost no engagement? (I try, but it seems dead for traffic.)

The narrative that anti-vaxxers or QAnon weirdos will come back from the brink if we're nice enough to them isn't tenable morally and doesn't hold up empirically. Ostracizing people whose beliefs harm others is a critical aspect of a functioning marketplace of ideas.

It's just so obvious: if you try to counter a political opponent by co-opt their policies, you communicate to the electorate that those are the salient issues and if those are the salient issues, then of course the electorate will vote for the party claiming it has all the answers.

The thing about watching a JD Vance speech is that everyone knows he’s a little pig man. Everyone knows he exists to squeal for Trump‘s amusement. No one respects him and he clearly doesn’t respect himself.
