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.

How fucking embarrassing is it for the entire political establishment that they're being outflanked on the left by MICHAEL FUCKING HESSELTINE

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”

@vicderbyshire.bsky.social asks Lord Heseltine about remarks he made at Conservative Party Conference.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

71.5% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to government data.

Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”

As Trump's regime terrorizes communities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of his biggest donors are private prison corporations.

Language sure is a thing. Great descriptor of AI content suddenly just a suffix for ‘things I don’t like’

Nice. Mine looks currently like this (did have Rez, FFXII and Persona 4 but think they went AWOL after lending them and then fact I also had the superior modern releases)

So my weekly indie spotlights at Creative Bloq were going a bit off-schedule, so to catch up, here’s another one focused on the visual authenticity, eccentricity and accessibility of There Are No Ghosts At The Grand www.creativebloq.com/3d/video-gam...

This strange haunted house game has a uniquely British setting

There Are No Ghosts at the Grand is wonderfully eccentric.
