Fox Business credulously reports that Saudi Arabia is pushing its investment into the US "to $1 trillion." The entire size of the Saudi economy is $1 trillion. How stupid are these people and/or how stupid do they think their viewers are?

Piggy has signed off on the release of the Epstein files.

There is a loophole in the law that lets the DOJ withhold anything they deem is part of an active investigation.

It’s precisely what Piggy is counting on.

Not even 9am. So far on Radio 6, the news bulletins have featured a mother saying her daughters aren't safe because of asylum seekers, a Tory politician lambasting Labour for crossing numbers & Badenoch encouraging councils to lodge legal challenges against hotels. An endless stream of hateful bile.

The naivety and historical ignorance are striking. The independence of Canada, Australia etc predated WWII. Independence movements in India and Ireland were long-standing. I wonder if he has ever met an Indian or Irish person. Portugal stayed out of WWII but still lost its empire. 1/

So, you mean 80% of graduates have benefited financially from it?

And, whisper it quietly, but *UNIVERSITY EDUCATION ISN’T JUST ABOUT SALARY*

Amazing. If it was written as "4 out of 5 graduates are financially better off as a result of their degree" it could literally be one of those university ads you see on the tube.

This is what happens when neoliberal meritocratic technocracy hollows out democracy and leaves social media to fill the vacuum with outrage, distortion, and division.

This Telegraph admission is v scary sign of our times. They admit the story is fake to SQUASH the rumour that it was AI-generated -- because they know that this would turn all their journalism into soup.

Of course, if it HAD been AI generated (unique pix etc) no-one would ever have known. Discuss.

An incredible and very funny clip. He's got nothing: no intelligence, no comprehension, no structured thought. Just the angry bitter wailing of his empty mind. What an embarrassment he truly is, and how embarrassed his advocates should be for promoting him.
The astonishing thing is how major mainstream media platforms, publishing companies etc have given this man all the rewards and platforms you might expect them to give an actual great thinker. Actually not astonishing, entirely predictable.
This is genuinely so bad, he can’t even answer basic questions from budding teen atheists lmfao. It’s like that scene in game of thrones when all the children ganged up and stabbed grand maester pycelle to death

But populists can't be the only ones telling compelling stories.

There has to be a progressive narrative too, but you can't build credibility overnight.

Years of cravenness and timidity take their toll. A plague on all their houses. ENDS
