My piece from 2021 that I think has held up well, and wasn’t wrong about the fossil fuel industry opendemocracy.net/en/oureconomy/…

It’s not this way anymore. And I genuinely feel bad for young people and I see why they don’t drink or smoke as much. But used to you could get 2 mad dogs and a pack of L and M Turkish shorts for 15 bucks. And that’s a wonderful Tuesday afternoon.

Great stuff guys thank you 🙏

Folks can you please share this for reach and give what you can 🙏 @TonyGreenstein @isaac_kh @Tontareh1981 @edward_bernayz @ByYourLogic @willmenaker @@Momonamission78 @charlottekates @emowag420 @ChingisKhagan @angryaboutbikes @Autotrot_2 @MassimoGrazioni @MonnyDachismo @lsdan 🙏

@DeptOfMonkeys Turns out I needed to clear Safari’s cache and restart 👍

@JosephKBennett Have you turned it off in settings? There's a lot of different settings that could be doing this.

@Srirachachau Yeah it’s a great study. The I STINK scene too really leans into the desperation

Rocky is more of a gritty 70s character study than I’d assumed. Had seen the parodies all my life but when I finally saw it, while it’s certainly an inspirational sports movie, was surprised by like Paulie’s cruelty to Adrian or tender moments like the date at the closed ice rink

@BareLeft @PippaCrerar @BenQuinn75 @peterwalker99 Who's telling Pip to shill this shit now Morgan is gone? Or is there just a pre planned timeline?

Tension and dissent: inside the Green party’s antisemitism struggle - thoughtful read by @BenQuinn75 & @peterwalker99 theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

Everything about this is ice cold, the guy’s outfit, the shades, the boombox, the neat liqour

@signed_EZ @Showerman5000 Come on now, millions

@Showerman5000 The revolution is gonna happen, it's right around the corner! *Global 68 happens* You see, we're almost there! Any day now! *The only revolution that happens is that rock stars can cut tv commercials for Coke while wearing blue jeans* Any day now.... *Thousands of broken people*

When I was just a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed little young thing reading about the 60s it filled me with wonder and awe. Guided by Marxism-Leninism, I poured over histories and documents and felt the spirit of hope. Nowadays, reading about the 60s drives me literally insane

@jelly_pack And meant nothing else was discussed

I wish I could share the optimism of people who say things like "no one is buying the antisemitism smear this time" because no one *bought* it with Corbyn either. It was a successful campaign because it made people sick of seeing his face and name in the headlines 24/7.

Imma be honest that looks like a chair

@bigoldlilac @_bezpilotnik @KDansky @helenstaniland Squee squee squee rights eroded

@_bezpilotnik @KDansky @helenstaniland Is that "grimy little hatred" the hatred of having our rights eroded in order to facilitate men's "euphoria", Pete? And a commitment to resist that erosion... that incursion? That's giving you concern? Concern that a man's "euphoria" might diminish? Is that your concern?

Helen (@helenstaniland) said "man with massive fake breasts." Peter (@_bezpilotnik) immediately thought "trans." Sometimes they make it too easy. Free and shareable, so share away! karadansky.substack.com/p/sometimes-th…

Yes mate keep doing this 👍

@AdamAndrusier It’s because it’s a hilariously dumb and racist comment that reads like an attempt to bait people, hope that helps

Said this casually last night. Torrent of antisemitic abuse followed, many questioning whether an antisemitic attack has happened at all in London. My use of the word Holocaust must’ve done it, because a Jew can never be seen as a victim. Except for Zack Polanski, of course.

@rhodeislander @cowboy_postbop Twenty million 13 year old boys would disagree it couldn’t be enjoyed on the level of brainless violence however

@JosephKBennett @cowboy_postbop Nothing about that movie was brainless.

are there other pieces of media with as wide a gap between its assumed vibe and its actual vibe as “Saturday Night Fever”?

@rhodeislander @cowboy_postbop But it is also that

@cowboy_postbop RoboCop definitely was not the brainless summer popcorn action flick people assumed it would be, that's for sure.

@ejhchess @aljhlester Nick Griffin was invited 3 times in a row then disinvited after an uproar, each by a different union president, all of whom put it on their cv for Accenture

@aljhlester This scam has been going on for at least forty years to my precise knowledge. In my day it involved inviting PW Botha.

There are controversial ideas worthy of debate. But “Tommy Robinson” is simply a criminal racist. Platforming him utterly discredits the Oxford Union. I once accepted an invitation from them only to be replaced & ghosted, but never again. oxfordmail.co.uk/news/26074867.…

@BruceDGilley Lol

Again: the CIA did NOT overthrow the Iranian leader in 1953, a myth born of the left's attempt to delegitimize the Shah.

The level of complicity of the @BBC in the ethnic cleansing of southern Lebanon is shocking. I am listening to their Jerusalem correspondent report that the ‘IDF are striking Hezbollah targets’ while I’m on the ground in the middle of it watching men, women and children being killed on a daily basis. My colleagues are being executed. Paramedics are being systematically murdered. All of this is happening in plain sight and the BBC correspondent here in Lebanon knows it. May you all be put on trial for your deadly propaganda when the time comes. Shame on all of you, especially those on the ground who are too cowardly to speak out.

I will soon be leaving the bridge. I want to give heartfelt thanks for all the outpouring of support. My purpose here has been to fulfill my duty to the truth- to call on the people of this country to recognize and exercise the revolutionary power within us- the power of collective nonviolent action and non-cooperation with evil- by which we can bring an end to these hateful wars and the murders committed in our names. It is only with the passive compliance of millions- our obedience- our willingness to continue to do what's expected of us: to go to work, to school, to pay our rents, our mortgages and our taxes, that the Trump regime can remain in power and these wars continue. One man on a bridge is relatively powerless, but the collective withdrawal of our obedience and support is capable of bringing a swift end to the regime and its wars. This nonviolent collective action is our greatest power and it is the exercise of this power that those who rule fear more than any weapon. For the sake of the world, its children, and our future let us build this power with each other, together.
