the cognitive dissonance of wanting to be both a member of an established elite and also a heroic outsider claims yet another journalist victim
olivia nuzzi won’t see your “funny” jokes, but other journalists who believe they deserve both the respect of being an outsider who fulfils the important public service of speaking truth to power AND ALSO the status and wealth of a member of the elites that they cover will. so, you know, keep going

The Irish government's conception of being "good Europeans" and "pulling our weight" on the International scene apparently precludes military neutrality but apparently does not preclude ending support for refugees of the war in Ukraine

X categorised itself as “News” so that it wasn’t obvious how it was performing on app charts versus other social media apps.
News is a less competitive category so Elon gets to “win” even as he hides X’s weak performance.
(Also I notice Truss went to the effort to find the silly “X” of the logo)

If you're a Sinn Féin member and you wish to ensure the party takes the correct direction at this vital juncture I encourage you to write to them today asking them to be much more careful in their language and policies regarding immigration. Particularly Matt Carthy. Please. #Spéirgorm
Was interested to read SF announcing they expelled a party member as their partner is implicated in the recent Far Right terrorist bombing plans - yet no mention of taking Carthy's dog whistle away.

In the last few hours Hickey has retweeted another antisemitic account.
This time the tweet attempts to link the Kennedy assassination to some kind of Jewish conspiracy.
Said account also thinks the "real Holocaust" was the Jewish-led Bolshevik slaughter of Christians.

As you see on the right, the story has NOT been removed, the IT website becomes glitchy and throws up that error if you've visited a page a couple of times. Now, did any of his 'I do my own research' followers bother to check for themselves? No. They also think everything's a conspiracy.
