I can't help but feel I experienced the world in microcosm on the way to the shop today.
I saw a queue of cars stuck trying to enter a single lane tunnel. I thought the roadworks on the other side must have caught everyone out with the different traffic lights.
Then I got closer. 1/9

My attitude on this is that I'm not calling them because I think I can change their minds.
I'm calling them because it is unthinkable to let them do this without hearing how evil and awful they are.
My spite powers me. If I can get just 500 people a day to join me, we could fuck up their day.

I call Tommy Tuberville every fucking week, multiple times a week, because he can be evil but I don't have to let him do it without pushback.
So I don't need to hear excuses. I call the dumbest senator in the country. 😂

100% seriously, European leaders and Commission officials should plan on the basis that the US might do this to them too, about Greenland, about tech regulation, about “Christian values”, about “free speech”, whatever.

i know we've all laughed about the worm and the affair but this is a profoundly dangerous person who should be expelled from the government.
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.

In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

FINALLY a judge is pointing it out explicitly.
The behaviour of Enoch (& the other Burkes) is a clear safety concern.
Genuinely, how far off are they from rationalising violence as appropriate to their cause?

This is compelling because Fry has, historically, eschewed condemnation of people he disagrees with. He typically gives folks a lot of room to fix their shit before cutting them off. The fact that a beloved, respected, cis white male is going on the record saying “nah fuck her tho” is significant!
This is a big deal.
Stephen Fry is difficult to dismiss as a fringe figure. He's as middle-of-the-road establishment as they come - with the politics and long silence on this issue to match.
JKR and her fan club won't just be able to shrug this off.
