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.

This you, Kristi?

A screenshot of a post from X (formerly Twitter). The top tweet is from user @covie_93 with the caption: “This tweet aged like Stephen Miller…..”. Below it is a tweet from Kristi Noem (@KristiNoem) that reads:
“If Joe Biden federalizes the National Guard, that would be a direct attack on states' rights.
Over the last several years, we've seen Democrats try to take away our Freedoms of religion, assembly, and speech. We can't let them take away our right to defend ourselves, too.
South Dakota defends the Constitution.”

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

The Tories really have nothing to offer my 5 ambitious, aspirational university educated children - some of whom are already paying Tax in the 40% bracket

They have 0 interest in flags on lamp post or the rest of this culture war bullshit - especially the GC nonsense

Which has led to a total absence re the need to provide any intellectual rigor

It nags at me that people are dancing around the fact that one reason centre-right think-tanks are in an intellectual crisis moment is because we've spent over a decade where lots of their ideas were tried out and didn't pan out as advertised.

When I read these (brilliant) analysis

I always think how could the Tory party appeal to my children

They are all university educated, are highly aspirational - both those in work earning well above av salary - one living in Spain

& There is nothing, they are just not interested in CW crap

Badenoch’s only achievement is to have shrunk the Tories to a low-wattage Faragist think tank and warehouse storing future parliamentary candidates for Reform www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Badenoch’s ‘thoughtful Conservatism’ turns out to be just the slower road to Faragism | Rafael Behr

The Tory leader’s intellectual meanderings have shrunk her party into little more than a holding pen for future Reform party candidates, says Guardian columnist Rafael Behr

As someone who did a degree in History, but works in quite an IT technical field I often find myself in meetings saying

"Has anyone actually read this document, & furthermore does anyone understand what it is "actually" saying

Because it's clearly not being articulated in this meeting
