They're having abortions after nine months They go to school and come back a different sex They're eating the cats and dogs These 'stupid' propositions became the powerful lines of a campaign which understood the power of hyperbolic symbolism - the politics of hyperfalse witness

Instead of adopting the rhetoric of the far-right, political leaders should confront the disinformation of extremists and be clear that immigration has been good for this country. We have benefited from migration for decades, and it is vital for our nation's future prosperity.

I could have added: Tariffs is my favorite word The biggest deportation ever seen I will end inflation These are not lies, they're hyperbolic coded slogans which touch points of individual need - impossible to refute factually because they're not factual, they're symbolic

I hate anti-Semitism. I hate anti-Arab racism. In fact, I hate racism of any kind. I hate thuggery ruining the beautiful game. But most of all, I hate the fact children & women are being killed while the world watches on. Worse, so many governments are complicit. For shame.

“Let the IDF win and f*ck the Arabs, Olè Olè. Why is school out in Gaza? There are no children left there.” Any condemnation for this?

Israeli soccer hooligans chanting racist slogans, starting fights and being escorted safely out of the country is a “pogrom” that demands international condemnation. Palestinian children murdered by Israel aren’t even a headline.

Today entering Gaza City. The ruins of life. A donkey laying dead attached to a cart with someone’s possessions. Clusters of people crossing to the South, with too much to walk with under the sun and given the length of the journey. A man carrying a white flag in front of his

If only Western governments that are feverishly tweeting their outrage about attacks on Israeli hooligans in Amsterdam could say a word about *67 Palestinian kids killed everyday* by our weapons and bombs. FFS.

The persistence of mental disorders challenges our basic understanding of natural selection. Could these conditions have deep evolutionary roots, possibly contributing to creativity, problem-solving, or social cohesion in ways we're only beginning to understand? 🌌

The ‘nations and regions envoy’ was always a non-job created by Keir Starmer as a tool to try and fix Labour’s internal problems. This whole episode has been insulting to Wales, Scotland and northern Ireland.

What a grotesque coterie of freaks, sycophants, liars, zealots, racists, right wingers and unqualified incompetents Trump is assembling around him. Ew… Feel so sorry for our American friends 😢- sending all strength, courage and love from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Ok, I've had enough and am off to Bluesky. I appreciate the argument about staying and fighting... but there are other things to do than fight and it all helps Musk. I reserve the right to pop back and do a little mocking at my own leisure but now I'm Richard Saville-Smith PhD.bsky.social

I left X for bluesky last year because of all the Musk shitposting. I recognise my individual gesture will have negligible effect. I wish I was in the market for a Tesla, so I could buy something else, as collapsing Tesla is most certainly the way to destroy Musk.
