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.

Jack Posobiec explicitly says that "Antifa" dates back to the Weimar Republic, explicitly acknowledging that this administration is opposed to those who resisted the arrival of Adolf Hitler in Power.

These child deaths result directly from DOGE cuts to USAID led by Elon Musk who @royalsociety.org still consider worthy to be a Fellow.
@royalsociety.org leaders are spineless cowards who value billionaires over atrocities.
Do the child deaths not matter because they are brown?
Are you racists too?

Horrific reporting from the AP on the Myanmar families watching their kids starve to death from Trump and Musk’s aid cuts apnews.com/article/myan...

Starving children screaming for food as US aid cuts unleash devastation and death across Myanmar

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has repeatedly said “no one has died" because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program.

Talk about clutching at straws

Quite pathetic really

Especially as - in the large majority of pubs, on most nights - neither managers nor most customers will want to keep boozing into the early hours

The fact that Elon musk, Peter Thiel, and Steve Bannon all being in the Epstein files dropped out of the news way too fast www.bbc.com/news/article...

Elon Musk and Prince Andrew named in new Epstein files

The documents by the estate of convicted paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein were released by Congressional Democrats.

Don’t wear swimming goggles to a riot or demo. You might think they might help with tear gas, and they will. But they may make blunt force trauma more damaging.

Crab, and crab peets 🥹
One of our most stunning crab spider species (Misumenoides formosipes) is very large and pretty chill, and that makes getting shots of their little feet a bit easier.

I'm still shook by this, it's like 5 mice taking down a lion, but the lion can fly 😳

Wider view, with another pseudoscorpion poking out of the crevice to grab at the yellow jacket's stinger basically??

I wrote about Robert Jenrick's embrace of blood and soil nationalism for @bylinetimes.bsky.social

"The British right is adopting an increasingly extreme form of ethnic identity politics, while failing to explain what the rest of us are supposed to be worried about"

bylinetimes.com/2025/08/19/r...

But what about “ethnic change”? Yes, the proportion of Islington’s population who are (like me) white British has dropped from perhaps 85% to about 40%. This change is indeed visible. For West, it is “far beyond what any group would find tolerable.” What he doesn’t and can’t say is why exactly I’m supposed to find it intolerable. Why should I, or my neighbours, be more concerned about what race or ethnicity the kids are at the local school than the quality or financing of local services, or whether the council is successfully balancing the need for more housing with the interests of long-standing residents?
