Uk media is controlled by oligarchs who want to expand the 2025 project to the UK. Starmer, like Biden, thinks a combination of naive decency and a belief in the system and "doing the right thing"will win out. They are wrong.

It's because salience is equivalent to significance in a culture that has lost all its cultural guy ropes.

The vast majority can't distinguish between these two things. That confusion is getting worse.

Reading Thiel, Yarvin, Peterson et al. makes you realise what passes for intellectual iconoclasm these days is all absolute bollocks. Why anyone gives any of these people the time of day let alone credibility is baffling.

Hey, our pollinators here in the UK are dropping rapidly - a butterfly emergency was even called last year. Pollinator numbers dropping is partly due to how much pesticides we use - but it doesn’t have to be this way many in the EU have taken action
Please sign & share and protect our pollinators

ACTION: Sign the petition and tell the UK government to protect our pollinators.

The UK’s pollinator numbers are dropping heavily - we need the UK government to step in and protect them.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

History gives us plenty of examples of disease used as a weapon. There are fewer cases of governments deliberately using disease against their own citizens. We are living (or dying) through one right now.

The government has been shut down for nearly half a month.

Insurance costs are doubling for millions of families.

And you’re still trying to rewrite history on the first bipartisan vote to impeach a U.S. president?

Put down your phone and focus on ending the Trump shutdown.
