Don't post much but this ideal for X: inspired by link between #HarryFrankfurt #onbullshit and @Steve_banon2024 'Flood the zone' Question is the whole #cryptocurrency industry Type B bullshit? asranetwork.org/news/on-the-…

The Rethink: On the Risk of Bullshit

Nick Silver argues that bullshit not only permeates and pollutes public discourse but also becomes reality and policy, creating a new systemic risk.

Treasury secretary not appointed yet. Is Bernie Madoff still alive? Bankman-Fried? I know he’s a Democrat but otherwise well qualified.

Here's a list of things Biden defenders expect us to believe. 🧵 1. The Biden we see on TV – rambling, exhausted, confused – has no relationship to the Biden that is running the country. He's too old to campaign vigorously but not too old to be president, which is less taxing.

As Labour takes power, our journalists will keep Britain's new government working in our national interest - and yours.

I want to offer my condolences to the @MailOnline for your forthcoming loss. You tried so hard and ran such a great campaign, but the problem was the product you are selling is totally shit.

Nice to see more balanced journalism from the Daily Mail. Is this an audition by the editorial team for a job with Putin, the CCP or Kim Jong Un when the Tories lose?

The #dailymail argument is after 14 years of Tory rule the military is in no fit state to fight a war, therefore you should… vote Tory! Of course, why didn’t I think of that!

Having racists bigots and misogynists in your party is Ok, but having Tories is just totally unacceptable

Desperate Tory party gets fake candidates to join @reformparty_uk then "quit" at last minute shrieking "racism." These tactics are filthy and anti democratic. 🧵

If trump becomes president and the catastrophe that follows will be on the heads of Biden - for not standing down - and the Democrats - for not telling he has to for the sake of his country

Panic gripping Democratic party. "Freaking out".

The most accurate response to the Conservative Party - record in office + election campaign - is the football chant ‘you’re so shit it’s unbelievable’

In any previous British government over the last 100 years, Greensill scandal would have disqualified #DavidCameron from being anywhere near government, shows how far we have fallen.

David Cameron is not the answer to any known question taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2023… Lord David Cameron (presumably of Greensill) is not the answer to any known question unless that question is either how to be a terrible prime minister or how to make a total mess of your post-prime ministerial career, because he managed both.

This film is nearly 60 years old yet, unfortunately, it has not become out of date, and it's wisdom has not been learned: bfi.org.uk/film/6f9488ef-f91… @BFI #BattleofAlgiers

The Battle of Algiers (1966)

A window on Algeria’s wider liberation war, recreating a violent phase of guerrilla struggle and suppression in powerful free-documentary style.

Wonderful - This has to be the platonic ideal of a Torygraph headline - especially as it's written By @AllisterHeath Woke blob’s final triumph is near if Britain fails to heed his warning to US telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/05…

Woo youth vote or die, Matt Hancock tells Conservatives

The MP says the lack of young Conservative voters is "catastrophic", as an age gap divides British politics.

How it works. 1. Mail on Sunday publishes false claim of a "vile plot" by republicans and eco-activists to use rape alarms to scare horses at the Coronation. 2. Met Police vow to "foil plot". Must arrest people with rape alarms. Hmmm. Who in the vicinity carries rape alarms?🧵

Hopefully he will unexpectedly win the next election whilst labour get a 200 seat majority

Losing 1,000+ seats and chalking it up as a victory, from the same folks who not only told you Brexit would be fantastic but still insist that Brexit is fantastic, in the face of a mountain of evidence to the contrary.
