Part of the unbearable stupidity of the current administration is its feckless enthusiasm for doing things that seem like manly feats of strength to manosphere idiots and also make this country weaker...all the way down to Pete Hegseth and his belief that pushups are a top military strategy.

I called my recipe book Sabzi – vegetables. But the name was trademarked. And my legal ordeal began

No one is screaming. Pochin is racist. Farage is racist. Reform’s policies are racist. Indulging the “legitimate concerns” excuse is just emboldening them towards ever more vicious extremism. That tide only turns when people call them out and shame them. In conversations. Online. On air. Every time.
