The right-wing press now exists to promote self-harm.
More accurately, a fantasy that we're better off if we ignore the harm we're doing to ourselves and delight in treating those who want solutions as the enemy.
This isn't naïvety. It's a performative ignorance cult, and it's vile.

Outrageous bare-faced lies - it’s extraordinary what the right wing press can get away with.

Thank you @drsimevans.carbonbrief.org for such a thorough debunking
Truly wild that the Sun, Daily Mail, Daily Express & Daily Telegraph all covered false claims that net-zero will "cost" £7.6bn – or even £9tn – which assumes we could have free gas, free petrol, free petrol cars & free gas power plants if we scrapped net-zero

Winston Howes lost his wife. He planted thousands of oak trees in a six-acre field
Once it was completed he put a seat in the field, overlooking the hill near where she used to live. He didn't tell anyone

The World Cup just gets more and more grotesque.
It's a plaything for oligarchs and fascists. Indifference to atrocities, sponsored by petrostates that veto climate agreements while the planet burns.
Theres something profoundly insiduously evil about continuing to treat it as a fun sporting event.

I love soccer and I remember each World Cup with great intensity and always so much look forward to the next. But FIFA that was disgusting, even more disgusting than usual, and now I just can’t. And won’t.

More extraordinary still is the sanitising of Kirk's politics. Kirk was - and this is just a straightforwardly factual statement - a far right activist. And here's a former British Prime Minister not merely mourning his death or condemning his murder but actively *praising* his politics.
We don’t yet know who killed Kirk or why. Not that you’d know it from the endless numbers of accounts on X with huge follower numbers, including British politicians, making as yet unknowable claims about the motivations behind the murder.
Exhibit A. Extraordinary stuff.
