The funniest part in the article is when BON says "These men could not be more different. Vance comes from a poor, broken background, as told in his memoir Hillbilly Elegy. Yet he dragged himself up through Yale and the corporate world to become VP at just 40" - ignoring the Tech Broligarch assists

“Rarely has there existed a man whose arrogance is so out of proportion to his intellect.”

What a sentence for Brendan O’Neill to write about someone else, with nary a hint of self-reflection.

Screengrab from the Telegraph: “Brendan O'Neill
JD Vance’s triumph over Rory Stewart is a humiliation for centrist Dads everywhere
This was a battle for the ages, between populism and elitism – and it was a joy to watch

A Balliol man picked an intellectual fight with an American “hillbilly” yesterday, and guess who won? Yep, the “hillbilly”.
It was a showdown between JD Vance, the new American Vice President, and Rory Stewart, a podcaster.”

Hello again, welcome to the weekend and another daily🧵

It's Day 1326 of Ukraine's fight for existence and I've still never missed a day.
That takes time, commitment and money. So, if you've not bought me a coffee before, maybe today please? Thank you.

Friends,

Winter is coming. Russian attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure will increase.

Russia has ramped up drone production and is changing its attack tactics. There will be blackouts in winter. #Kyiv will be Russia’s main strategic and symbolic target⤵️

Good to blame Farage for the dull-arsed, ruinous, tedious failure of Brexit.
Not that good to keep punishing us for that failure, rather than looking to swiftly boost our prosperity by asking to rejoin the Single Market and Customs Union.
But yes. It’s a start.

www.thetimes.com/article/8875...

Starmer and Reeves are expected to argue that if it hadn't been for Brexit this type of downgrade would not have been needed - and cite official figures suggesting that if Britain had not left the European Union the economy would be about £120 billion greater by 2035 than current forecasts suggest.
The message is simple: Farage is ultimately to blame, as the man who delivered Brexit with "easy sloganeering" then walked away from the aftermath rather than putting in the hard yards.
Or to put it another way: Farage, not us, is responsible for putting up your taxes.
The theme will tie to the main thrust of Starmer's argument at conference, that the Reform leader is selling easy solutions that are just a fantasy.

Trump has begun dismissing federal workers, with furloughed staff at the Department of Health and Human Services now facing permanent layoffs. The cuts are hitting the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention especially hard.

Poor old Trump. No Nobel Prize. Some days he solved 6 wars, other days it was 9 wars, today its 7 wars. And like magic he can end wars between countries that aren’t at war, or that don’t exist, or that are still at war. All without leaving the golf course or the gold plated WH rooms.

So, there are presumably studies documenting far higher rates of autism in most Muslim societies than in ones which don't practice circumcision?

I mean, RJKJr wouldn't have tossed a seemingly-insane idea out there without checking to see if there were a ready-made real-life test-of-concept?

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is sparking debate with claims linking circumcision and Tylenol to autism, but scientists say the evidence is lacking.

Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.
