So if a shortened snout is the sign of domestication in a mammal

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Hate to be that guy, and like, the more people learn about King Philip’s War the better, but PBS Origins just blatantly ripped me off.
The title, several of the turns of phrase in the video… their researchers clearly just watched some of my videos and just repeated stuff that I’ve said.

I’m not a Christian, never was,

Of that, but this song ain’t directed to ya.
It’s not about your risen god,
It’s more about his risen rod,
Stop using Leonard Cohen‘s Hallelujah!

This week has been a good reminder of this April 1934 headline. Communists and Jews in Belfast disrupt a fascist rally in Library Street. Belfast will always be an antifascist city. We keep showing up for each other to defeat fascism even if the police & state backs it. [1/n]

The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

I cannot overemphasize that Marjorie Taylor Greene, Carlson, and Fuentes see a 2028 path to victory that involves building an isolationist populist coalition that traffics heavily in antisemitism and exploits existing negative sentiment against Israel.

We have science saying that when the center takes on far right policies it boosts the far right. If I, a non-expert, know about these studies, I'm certain the SpAds do.
I don’t want to get all galaxy brained here but if the spooks had sat the politicians down and said Look: it’s very important that Britain goes fascist by 2030 and that’s that, what are you going to do about it? They would be doing pretty much all of this, wouldn’t they.

Just heard re: some ICE agents who raided a Chicago taqueria, then went back to the same taqueria for lunch the following week and got confused when the owner kicked them out, and I realized "jesus these doofuses really do believe we're all living in a video game where the NPCs have no memory"

The great thing about Anglo-American relations in the 2020s is we get to be each others' cautionary tales.
it is wild that Labour is doing exactly what the reactionary centrists recommend and is absolutely destroying its base of support as a result, and yet reactionary centrists in the US are just utterly silent about the complete failure of their program.
