The type of photo that in a newspaper would be accompanied by the words, '...on the 18th November 2024, police conducted coordinated raids on the homes of the gang, during which significant evidence was retrieved'

A Times article:

Meet the young Tories dreaming of a bright blue future

The Conservatives know they have a problem with Gen Z voters. At the party conference, The Times met a new breed of activists who are embracing the challenge

Photos of three men, allegedly Gen Z, appear below the headline.
First guy is wearing a hat and carrying an umberella; he looks like he is genuinely trying to be as uncool as possible.
Second guy has a small beard and small moustache. He is wearing a jumper with question marks on it underneath a dress jacket, a massive fucking red flag if ever there was one.
The third guys face is hidden below a Make Britain Great Again cap. The cap has various UK themed badges on it, including a fucking poppy

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

I'm excited for Limp Bizkit, but I'm a little worried about Antifa...
Question
I'm sick and tired of seeing these thugs terrorize big events and am worried that they will try to interrupt Limp Bizkit's set. My gf (F19) and I (M31) are going to our first Lollapalooza and are concerned about the growing threat around the city

"We took freedom of speech away" is probably the most honest thing Trump has said or done in a long time

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 14h

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

AEW should introduce a new up-and-comer named "Ice" (because he's cold hearted and absolutely no other reason I can think of) who shows up in every angle and gets his ass beat in increasingly hilarious and cathartic ways. By everyone. Face and heels. They collectively agree they hate this man.

I truly don’t get the appeal of podcasts having to be video now. Podcasts are at their very best when you’re doing something else, working out or playing videogames etc, and no good podcaster has ever been someone who should be shown on screen that’s just not how that works. It’s a goblin job.
