This is an excellent summary of where we are right now. It is profoundly disappointing how many people we know who are suckered by this narrative. Radicalised into a blanket hatred of the "other" and a retreat into jingoistic ethnonationalism.

This is what is happening. It is cynical. It is strategic. It is organised. It is well funded.
And we need to pay attention.
The far right - and their cheerleaders, mimics, tribute acts, and handmaidens have identified two presentational frameworks that give them cut-through and traction. 1/7

Today I have watched my peer group absolutely lose their shit about this.
Taking deep, personal offence at the concept that they might want to oppose racism.
These are the same people who defend flying a Confederate flag in 2025.
Today has been... disappointing

I haven't been able to find any articles like this. Lots about signs of neurodiversity, but not the opposite.
Any relevant links gratefully received.

A thought experiment.
Imagine that Donald Trump really *was* a Russian asset, primed to isolate the USA from its allies, destabilise their economy, and destroy their democratic institutions.
What would he do differently?

I had a lovely afternoon today. Spent 2 hours digging through thousands of 50p jumble singles. Came home with a dozen worthless discs that I didn't need but couldn't leave behind. A day well wasted.

Fun fact - the "roman salute" is a myth.
There is no mention anywhere in Roman literature or iconography of such actions.
We think otherwise because of films and 19th-century art ... oh yes and the Italian fascists and Nazis who pretended it was a thing.
One might even call it "Fake history".

I think "kid killer" is the term we need here. The people who stop vaccinations kill our kids.
Dear BBC, please do not call anti-vaxxers “vaccine sceptics”. It implies there exists doubt about vaccines. 70-odd years ago we had large numbers of people paralysed or in iron lungs. We don’t see that today and for that we can thank the Salk vaccine.
