THE STONEWALL MYTH After over a year in editing, my documentary on the Stonewall Myth and the beginnings of the modern gay rights movement is out! Watch It Now! (WARNING: IT'S GROSS)

“Nobody has ever heard of Rupert Lowe!” You have no idea what’s coming. The momentum continues to build and grow.

@JoshFerme How do you fall for these obvious troll posts ? XD

This is a bad idea and will end badly. Calling it now.

My objection to Reform is mostly the leadership and abundance of ex-conservatives. The supporters, activists and many of the councillors seem like good people with their hearts in the right place. I have no ill will towards them.

In my many years covering the news, this is one of those stories I still cannot believe actually happened. It is a the most damning indictments of Britain’s institutions one could come across

"we are losing our Country" But, according to Goodwin, mass deportations and remigration are "Utterly Absurd,"

@worldsocionics Well Put.

The Right had a perverse advantage under the oppressive regime where right-wing views were targeted and left-wing views were allowed to be expressed with impunity. It meant that you only saw the intelligent, articulate people on the right who could express themselves in a way that was difficult to censor. Those days are over and now we suffer the liabilities on both sides of the spectrum.

This might not be a popular opinion, but right-wing twitter was more articulate before Elon took over. It is a shame that this culture could not have been preserved alongside the free speech measures and monetisation changes. You cannot have it all, I suppose.

Goodwin is giving Restore free campaign material on the inadequancy of Reform in addressing the immigration crisis.

Dr Lockdown can't even keep his own X account locked down.

@ReedandReason I am afraid I have not. Although, it sounds interesting as I see introspection as unequivocally a good thing.

@JoshFerme Have you read this book?

@BinarySurfer @aakashgupta @philthatremains @AydinPaladin My anecdotal experience seems to corroborate this. Thanks for that depressing realisation.

Your brain peaked musically somewhere around age 16. Everything since then has been a dopamine echo. Between the ages of 12 and 22, the mesolimbic dopamine pathway, the same circuit that processes cocaine and sex, fires at levels in response to sound that it will never reach again for the rest of your life. A 2011 McGill study used PET scans and fMRI simultaneously and found that music triggers dopamine release in the striatum at peak emotional arousal. The caudate nucleus lights up during anticipation of the good part. The nucleus accumbens lights up when it hits. Your brain is treating a guitar riff with the same reward architecture it uses for food-seeking and pair bonding. During adolescence, that response is dramatically amplified. Pubertal hormones are flooding the system. The prefrontal cortex is still wiring itself. Memories formed during this window get encoded with a density of emotional tagging that nothing in your 30s or 40s can replicate. Researchers at the University of Leeds identified this as the “reminiscence bump”: the period when your sense of self is forming, and the music playing during that formation becomes structurally integrated into your identity. A 2025 longitudinal study from the University of Gothenburg analyzed 40,000 users’ streaming data across 15 years. Younger listeners explored broadly across genres. Older listeners collapsed into increasingly narrow loops, almost entirely anchored to music from their teens and early twenties. Your brain stopped losing interest in new music years ago. It’s running a cost-benefit analysis. Familiar songs deliver guaranteed dopamine with zero processing cost. New songs require pattern recognition, expectation-building, and repeated exposure before the reward circuit kicks in. Past 25, most people stop paying that tax. The one variable that predicts whether someone keeps exploring: the personality trait “openness to experience.” Score high, you keep seeking. Score average, you default to the familiar forever. The fix, if you want one: deliberate exposure. Three listens minimum before your auditory cortex builds enough predictive models to generate a reward response. One passive listen on a playlist will never get there. Your brain needs repetition to find the pattern, and it needs the pattern to release dopamine.

BREAKING: Newly formed right-wing UK party, Restore Britain, has reportedly overtaken the Conservative Party in membership numbers.

@MillennialWoes They clearly don't understand how our political system works.

Here's another example of an American account that bizarrely has a lot of (negative) things to say about Restore. He's also apparently claiming that I pretend to be English and that, as a Scot, I don't have "skin in the game" with English politics.

Treason: "The betrayal of allegiance toward one's own country, especially by committing hostile acts against it or aiding its enemies in committing such acts."
