Incredible exposé by the SMH. Weird religious cult ‘Bretheren’ took hold of Dutton’s campaign. These people won’t give up. Beware.

“I’m glad we didn’t win because … I was scared about what that would have meant,” 😱

‘I’m glad we didn’t win’: Liberal campaigners feared Brethren-fuelled Dutton victory
The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church was so enmeshed in local Liberal campaigns that they were cleaning candidates’ houses. Now a new inquiry has been launched.

I think I'd probably find the whole notion of banning kids from social media easier to swallow if adults accepted that it is also obviously driving them mad.

The details are even better. He says he was wearing a t-shirt that said "Proud American Zionist" on it a while back and thinks the pierogi vendor looked askance at it. He also refused to use the vendor's correct pronouns. Great stuff Alan, keep it up.

It’s funny cause all we do is talk about men’s sexuality? There’s no national rhetoric about women’s needs. This has been true for generations.

Women want to get laid too, they’re just not forcing a political uproar about it.

We actually DON’T need to keep endlessly talking about men wanting sex.

I recall the lads agreed: even a trace, a suspicion of racism in public life was utterly unacceptable and it all had to be annihilated to the subsoil with nuclear weapons. Also, here’s a BBC and Times pundit doing more fash crank racism in one tweet than most humans will do in their entire lives.

Not to do TOO much Mamdani discourse this morning, but one of the reasons American racial categories are what they are is the idea that "African" is a single, coherent, and consistent racial identity. That belief is downstream of slavery ideology, and has no real salience for actual reality.

Mayor Brandon Scott has reduced crime in Baltimore by 62%, and now has the lowest homicide rate in Baltimore history.

How did he do it?

NOT be spending more on police. He did it by MAJOR investment in afterschool and literacy programs.

A public service announcement! A person in NSW died from bat lyssavirus after being bitten, firstly - DO NOT EVER TOUCH A BAT! Secondly, if a bat touched you GO TO THE DOCTOR! If a bat bites or scratches you WASH THE WOUND IMMEDIATELY FOR 15 MINS AND THEN GO TO THE DOCTOR!

DO NOT EVER TOUCH A BAT

anyways personally I think that the NYT should stop doing race essentialism and stop platforming race scientists but that’s probably just my tiny Chinese hands talking
