I Don't Speak German
Daniel Harper is a researcher who goes where few others can bear to go: he listens to what the reactionaries - from the IDW to the modern day Nazis - say to each other in *their* safe spaces! In this...

I am the co-host - with my friend and comrade @danielharper.bsky.social - of a podcast called (rather eccentrically) 'I Don't Speak German'. It's about the far-right... which, sadly, is a much less niche category than when we started in 2019. idontspeakgerman.libsyn.com

Trans women has been welcomed at the Women's Institute since the 1970s and one member is in her 80's and has been a member for decades. This is pure bigotry pushed by legal threats backed monetarily by JK Rowling.

Nathaniel Hawthorne said no one can wear one face to themself and another to the masses without forgetting which is true. I wonder if this Hannah Montana struggles with the same conundrum…

There's a thing about Hillary that a lot of people don't get:
She's a really really very bad politician.
She's a really really very bad politician.
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

It's less than a week since a national guard trooper was shot dead in DC by someone the Trump administration vetted. I know it's lame and tired and pointless to say this but... Biden (for whom I carry no water btw) would've been CRUCIFIED.

I am reading my old notes for the (interrupted) M.R. James essay series, preparatory to resuming it, and desperately trying to

I was always puzzled by the category 'World Music' in the record store, until I realised it just meant anything that wasn't American or European.

Hegseth is the most unutterable worm.
Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.

I get a lot of shit for liking Hans Zimmer but I can't help it. I love his film scores.
Dark Knight Rises. A tedious, muddled, pompous fart of a movie; reactionary to the point of being actually fascistic.
But I adore the musical score.

Alfred in the Hobbit movies. It is baffling to me why there is so much of this catastrophically ill-judged joke asshole character in these films. It goes on and on and on. He pushes the movies over the precipice from messy and tiresome to insufferable.

I know the quality of the paper is totally not the point, but it is clearly both dogshit and deliberately offensive, equivalent to filling an Eng. Lit. exam paper with anti-stratfordianism, calling your teacher a r****d for believing Shakespeare wrote plays, & citing the movie Anonymous as a source.
"Society pushing the lie that there are multiple genders and everyone should be whatever they want to be is demonic and severely harms American youth."
This passage is objectively "offensive" as the instructor noted, and given the instructor is trans, likely discriminatory!

It's not actually a contradiction that Trump pardons a convicted drug trafficker while also posing as he is Tough on Drug Trafficking (carrying out extrajudical executions of innocent people) because honey that is the oldest move in the War on Drugs

Sure, they've made an environmentally catastrophic mass hallucination disinformation plagiarism Clippy that will destabilize the world, but also their other goal is to replace human workers entirely and let us humans starve. A boycott of AI is the most important boycott of your entire life.
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
