Historian of eugenics here. I don't normally like to retweet bad arguments, but this is such a fundamental misunderstanding of eugenics, I think it's important to point out. I don't have time to debunk all of the ways this is inaccurate, but I'll highlight a few things and then recommend some books🧵

One of the things that has been heartening about American civil society's (belated, admittedly) resistance to the worst of Trumpism has been watching (grand)juries refuse to go along with nonsense lawfare. So anyway Labour really want to weaken our right to trial by jury and ability to appeal.

Tenet trilogy. The first film is the last and the last film is both the last and the first.
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

Cannot adequately express to outsiders how insane it is to think the UK is characterised by "Islamoleftism". Just, absolutely, not a thing, not at all representative of our governing ideology, nor of the ideology of the left factions that exist as any serious presence within our politics.

Wonderful tribute to a teacher: young Sofonisba Anguissola paints herself being created by Bernardino Campi -- yet at same time, she is of course creating him! Today is her day.

was im grunde passiert: durch den demographischen wandel entstehen überall lücken im arbeitsmarkt; die verhandlungsmacht der arbeitnehmer*innen gegenüber dem kapital steigt. insbesondere der jüngeren fordern bereits mehr lohn und 4tagewoche. die maßnahmen dienen dazu, die menschen zu disziplinieren
Es wird immer offensichtlicher, dass die Politik der CDU darauf ausgerichtet ist, Arbeitnehmerrechte und den Sozialstaat zu beschneiden, um den Niedriglohnsektor und prekäre Arbeitsverhältnisse auszuweiten.

Wer Angst vor Arbeitsplatzverlust und sozialem Abstieg hat, ist leichter erpressbar.
