'It’s far better to have a good time you won’t remember than a dull one you will.' Views own. Retweet ≠ endorsement.
If you buy illegal drugs you are to a non-trivial degree morally implicated in the crimes committed by drug dealing gangs.
What’s an unpopular opinion you believe is genuinely true?
Hey @EmmanuelMacron The two-state solution is dead, and here is why: Back in 1994, when Yitzhak Rabin was ready to hand the Palestinians a state on a silver platter, who was the loudest voice against it? Benjamin Netanyahu. And what did the world call him? A radical, an enemy…
Is there some reason why the British public is so wildly statist on random issues like this? You see 'OI! U GOT A LOICENSE MATE??' jokes but like, really, why are they so eager to ban and hyper regulate so many trivial things? Is there some cultural trauma I don't know about?
Another one to add to the British public love a ban list, by a 3-1 margin people back banning the sale of slushies to children. Parents of young children are the most supportive.
The government: “Give us your photo ID and credit card details if you want to access adult websites. They will kept confidential.” Also the government: “We accidentally sent the names of 20,000 enemies of the Taliban to the Taliban.”
There have been tremendous lies told about Israel’s war. That doesn’t mean the threat of starvation isn’t real. It is. My latest in @TheFP discusses new research on the price of flour in Gaza, and why it’s a real cause for concern. thefp.com/p/the-price-of…
Want to stop the UK government doing this to your feed whenever someone posts a video that they don’t like? It’s important now more than ever that power be held to account, and to not accept their control over what information people see. Here is what to do… 🧵 (1/4)
The online safety bill is a serious infringement on our civil liberties.
People in the UK, as the VPNs kick in...
🚨Our fears appear to have been vindicated on the very first day of the Online Safety Act's enactment. Some footage of protests taking place this evening against illegal immigration is unavailable on X for at least some UK users, with a warning about a restriction due to ‘local…
🚨 UK’s Online Safety Act just came into effect, promising a “safer” internet. It’s a lie. This law threatens YOUR privacy, free speech, and democracy and paves the way for a surveilled, censored web. Want to know how bad it gets? 🧵
I visited flats where temperatures in hallways exceeded 35 degrees, even though it was 25 outside. One heavily pregnant resident’s flat was so hot, she’d had to move out This is the story of Britain’s overheating new builds, and it’s going to get worse inews.co.uk/news/its-35c-f…
In about 20 years we're going to see a rash of Wild Wild Country type @netflix docs about all the Westerners who got sucked into the Cult of Palestinianism.
Amsterdam is saying NO to genocide! Free Palestine 🇵🇸
On trade, the @commonsforeign affairs committee report on Israel, under the chairmanship of @EmilyThornberry thinks the UK's "halted trade talks with Israel" should "continue until an internationally-recognised peace settlement has been agreed." So basically Thornberry and crew…
In 2021- when still teaching- I issued a warning: that Critical Social Justice in education would ultimately end with many whites constructing a form of “Critical Race Theory” for themselves. What we are witnessing, particularly with antisemitism, is just that: CRT for whites.
This is the other ugly side of #CriticalSocialJustice: the unintended consequence of white racial consciousness. It's a dangerous Pandora's Box, and this is a clear example. White nationalists are being awoken! My greatest fear is how the Woke's racial identitarianism ends.
27 western countries cannot be stupid enough to fall for the UN and Hamas lies. One or two perhaps. But when so many do it’s simply complicity in a scam and a lie. The contents of over 950 food trucks inspected and approved by Israel are rotting on the Gaza side of the Kerem…

Old Ozzy has finished his life’s journey. This is exactly what he dreamed of. One last time -- he stepped onto the stage, no longer able to stand on his own. One last time -- he sang. One last time -- he saw the sea of fans and all his old friends. One last time -- he made the…
I see Stevenson was at it as well, pontificating on whether "borrowing" really meant anything. Tip for people coming up with alternative theories of anything: you still need to have a solid understanding of the mainstream version
