I wrote my upcoming verse novel Hekate inspired by ancient Greek poet and playwright Euripides’ structure. I loved writing this book and was bereft when I finished it. It’s one of those stories that lingers - an intimating goddess of necromancy telling us her origins.
Me about to piss off a bunch of capitalists: If Bezos doesn’t want to pay his fair share in corporate taxes, I don’t see why we shouldn’t nationalise Amazon and make it a subsidiary of the post office.

I miss when Twitter was truly great like the time a guy got upset at someone calling out a cricket team and started explaining how bowling worked and at the end OP was like "thanks for explaining btw I hold the world record for most career outs in cricket history"

Correct. Also, to be clear, the right has not had intellectual standards since (generously) the 1990s. The only thing that has changed is that they are no longer willing or able to fake it.
Part of the problem is that liberal media keeps pretending that the right has “intellectual standards” when the rights idea of intellectual standards is RFK “I Like Bathing In Sewage” Jr being in charge of all of America’s health.
The controversy over the Heritage Foundation illustrates the collapse of intellectual standards on the right—a profound problem that Donald Trump has exploited and exacerbated, @jonathanbchait.bsky.social argues.

What if we view legacy media not as an information-sharing system but as religion or mythology?
After all, it’s a machine to attach current events to an established narratives, just like saying something happened because of the moods of Zeus

The Conservative Movement’s Intellectual Collapse
Trump is both a product and a cause of the decline in intellectual standards on the right.

I endured an English public school. But that’s not the only reason I’m unsurprised about the Farage allegations |
Let’s put aside the schooldays accusations and look, instead, at the Reform leader’s path since then. I think a pretty clear picture of the man emerges, says author and podcaster Musa Okwonga

There are more people organizing and pushing back against the regime today than there were in the first term. There are more people in more places (rural towns and big cities across the country). I think it's really strange how resistant some people are to these facts. I wonder what's going on.

It fascinates me how much people really love outing themselves as bigots on the internet. Every time I post something which critiques misogynists or racists and their behaviour - LOADS of people show up to announce themselves as misogynists and racists. It’s such an effective virtual flytrap.

Right wingers really are terrified of everything aren’t they. Cities they’ll never visit, colleges, blue hair, pink hair, lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, trans people, drag queens, communists, socialists, immigrants, refugees - it’s genuinely an endless list. How do they even leave their houses?

I do not exaggerate when I say I want every person who supports abortion bans to be tarred and feathered for life.
“Abortion bans aren’t the problem! It’s bad doctors committing malpractice”
This is what the “pro life” crowd yell whenever a woman dies because she couldn’t access abortion
The most recent case was a 37 year old Texas woman with eclampsia. She saw 90 doctors. None helped her.
