Agree with this re Farage stuff
The suburban comprehensive I went to was awash at the time with casual sexism, homophobia and racism, but if anyone had targeted one of the Jewish students as described I'm pretty sure even the most neanderthal of my fellow pupils would have gone, "Fuck, that's a bit nasty."

It’s always so strange when you’re watching a 35 year old TV episode and there are references to Trump. https://benhr.xyz/2025/12/06/its-always-so-strange-when.html

The only explanation for Zarah Sultana is that she has studied the history of socialist parties, written down every mistake they have ever made, and turned that into a to-do list

Interesting comments from @seththevoz.bsky.social on Polanski. For me the lack of scrutiny is on his behaviour as a therapist who presumably believed he was dealing with a woman in distress about her body. podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the…

Poorline and Barnabus on the telly eating a Family Court Dad Meal Deal cooked in an office kitchenette is somehow the Platonic form of our media-political culture: vile idiots doing dumb things given publicity about nothing.

It's also vastly easier and cheaper for media outlets to produce culture war content than policy stuff.
With policy, you have to find actual experts that are available and willing, then pray they're good entertaining communicators.
On culture shit, you start with a talking head and work backwards.

This chart (which applies even more to social media than it did to TV) lives in my head rent free.
Social media enveloping traditional media means everything and everyone is now competing in the entertainment market. Boring stuff like policy that affects millions of lives doesn’t stand a chance.

One of the main problems is “googling it” is becoming near impossible
Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

The boyfriend of a friend of my son's has spent several weeks in a psych ward due to Chat GPT induced psychosis. He isn't suicidal but AI encouraged him down a toxic and paranoid wormhole until he became completely delusional. Evil stuff.
1.This is not the only known example we know of ChatGPT cheering on a vulnerable young person to die by suicide, this time it is a recent Texas A&M grad
2. Every single university that has invited OpenAI into our midst should be asked to account for their choices.

This is a good point. (No snark.) I'm sure this SCOTUS sneers at Trump in private, but the conservative majority is trying to bank power for a better version of a right-winger.
They don’t want Trump to have as much power as possible. They want some future Federalist Society/Opus Dei-approved President to have as much power as possible. They’re willing to hold their nose and give it to Trump as a means to that end.

Public toilets are a "microbial soup" and there are things you should be doing to protect yourself — including not taking out your mobile phone and never hovering over the seat.

In the last few days, the Times has had to delete two stories. One because someone pretended to be former Mayor Bill de Blasio to a reporter and one because they wrote up nonsense about Torsten Bell's expenses.
