Parliament just voted for Assisted Dying. I ask what has this got to do with postmodernism and the death of Englishness.
This dude seems to believe he has a right to demand people believe what he believes, and not merely tolerance.
This, in a nutshell, is the problem with TRAs.
any time a pro lgbt lib comes at me with this opinion on trans girls in sports im immediately like ok so you fundamentally do not see trans women as women lol. the sport thing is the most obvious dividing line between those who tolerate and those who believe

Here's my little game based on work by the excellent @simonoxfphys. It looks at how much land would be used for 100 % of energy to be supplied by solar (and batteries) - benvost.fr/2026/06/05/land-u… #landgame
We need much tougher sentences for dangerous drivers and in particular those who are filming and uploading videos to social media. 5 years jail should make them realise how serious it is.

Wow. This is genuinely the most interesting opinion I've heard on the Jason Arday aftermath. Bravo.
"It should go without saying that Arday’s death is a terrible tragedy that no one should celebrate.
"At the same time, it is true to say that this tragedy was enabled by the psychological need among liberal elites for a black avatar of their guilt."

How absolutely disgusting! I'm truly shocked at how anyone could come to the conclusion that this was the right thing to do. I hope the culprit is unmasked and forced to make good this damage to the pitch and to the community.
I often wonder what the fuck is wrong with society 👇
Heartfelt congratulations to the person who dug up the pitch at the Crown Hill Cricket Ground to prove their "success."
You succeeded in your mission.
Westcroft Cricket Club has, with great regret, been forced to withdraw from the league because it is no longer possible for other teams to play in this constant environment of vandalism.
You did not just damage a pitch; you stripped away the favorite sport, the joy, the friendships, and the healthy activities of over 80 children, youths, and adult players.
Congratulations on impacting an entire cricketing community.
Congratulations on undermining the hard work of volunteers who dedicate their time, money, and energy to promote the sport.
Congratulations on disappointing the parents who wanted to see their children engaged in positive activities.
Cricket is not just a game; it is a source of discipline, friendship, respect, and community cohesion.
It is tragic that someone’s negative mindset and destructive actions have washed away the happiness of so many people.
Hopefully, you are satisfied today knowing that a single action of yours has affected dozens of matches, hundreds of hours of hard work, and the happiness of countless individuals. But remember, grounds can be rebuilt, pitches can be prepared again, and the cricket community can bounce back stronger than ever.
Our full support and respect goes out to Westcroft Cricket Club, its players, volunteers, and supporters.
We hope this difficult time passes quickly and that the voices of children and youth will once again echo through the cricket ground.
A Call to the Community
We request all readers to strongly condemn this shameful act. The person who damaged the cricket ground and pitch did not just dig up soil—they attacked the happiness of dozens of children, youth, and athletes.
If you also believe that damaging sports fields, youth activities, and community hard work is unacceptable, then please raise your voice against this act.
Express your condemnation at least once, so a message goes out that our community will never accept such negative and destructive behavior.
Your single comment, a word, or even one voice can serve as proof of standing with this community.
Show solidarity with Westcroft Cricket Club, its 80+ players, and all its volunteers.
Sports stand for love, unity, and positive engagement. It is the responsibility of us all to discourage those who destroy them.
Westcroft Cricket Club.

I genuinely cannot believe we're in this position.
Keir Starmer won a huge mandate from the British people. He transformed the Labour Party from one that had suffered its worst defeat in generations into a party capable of winning power and changing the country.
And yet, just two years into government, we're talking about leadership speculation instead of the job we were elected to do.
I'm not pretending everything is perfect. Government is hard. The challenges facing Britain are immense. There are difficult choices to make and there are no easy answers. If solving these problems was simply a matter of better communications or finding a catchy slogan, someone would have done it already.
What frustrates me is the idea that replacing one leader magically makes those challenges disappear. It won't.
Whoever leads Labour will face the same economic realities, the same fiscal constraints, the same online discourse and the same difficult decisions.
Some seem determined to oversimplify those realities in pursuit of their own ambitions. I think that's a mistake.
This Government has real achievements to be proud of. Growth is returning. NHS waiting lists are falling. Interest rates are coming down. Small boat crossings are down. There is still a huge amount of work to do, but progress is being made.
The public don't want a Labour Party consumed by itself. They want a Labour Government focused on them.
Right now, our energy should be on delivering for the country, winning elections and building on the progress we've made…not tearing ourselves apart.
Because if we don't learn that lesson now, what happens when the next leader faces the same difficult decisions in a year or two's time?
They say that forecasts were wrong about there being an immediate recession, but do they forget that it may have been because of the forecasts and the actions they prompted that stopped there being one? We had a massive round of QE after the vote, and the Boriswave of immigration when Brexit actually happened. They masked the immediate problems, but the structural dangers could not be avoided.

Zack, I appreciate hardly anybody within the Green Party is prepared to stand up to you when you are clearly wrong.
The Green Party supports the right of peaceful protest and NVDA. You know what "NV" stands for right?
Premeditated destruction of property on a grand scale. Unrepentant assault against an officer of the law, taking a literal sledgehammer to the back of a police officer resulting in spinal injury & ongoing occupational health & psychological trauma, these are not acts that politicians should be condoning but condemning. Instead you are championing their violent conduct.
Please don't kid yourself, even as Leader of the Green Party, that you can act as a law unto yourself. Whether council tax liability or convictions for perpetrators of gratuitous harm, the law does apply to all citizens equally.
Your continued betrayal & transgression of Green Party core values is concerning - as is your advocacy of violent tactics.
Do not turn away from this.

Brianna clearly believes there are no legitimate reasons for women to have concerns over privacy and safety from men. Which begs the question why Brianna thinks trans people need to access opposite facilities
This is literally just the same as the whites I grew up with in Mississippi that wanted Black people to live on their side of town.

I think that if the state decides societies need for rehabilitation overrides the victims need for justice then the state is taking on the responsibility for failing to raise these children correctly. The state is accepting liability for its failure, and should compensate victims, not just for the crime, but for the additional lack of justice. An additional compensation of £250,000 per victim should concentrate govenment minds on early intervention to stop youth crime before it starts. This would mirror corporate responsibilities for health and safety failings etc, and help make early intervention the cheaper and better option.

Je veux présenter mes excuses, au nom des Français, pour avoir enfanté la French Theory (qui a enfanté la pire des merdes idéologiques : le wokisme).
Nous avons donné au monde Descartes, Pascal, Tocqueville. Et puis, dans les ruines intellectuelles de l'après-68, nous avons donné Foucault, Derrida, Deleuze. Trois hommes brillants qui ont fabriqué, dans l'élégance de notre langue, l'arme idéologique qui paralyse aujourd'hui l'Occident.
Il faut comprendre ce qu'ils ont fait. Foucault a enseigné que la vérité n'existe pas, qu'il n'y a que des rapports de pouvoir déguisés en savoir. Que la science, la raison, la justice, l'institution médicale, l'école, la prison, la sexualité, tout n'est qu'une mise en scène de la domination. Derrida a enseigné que les textes n'ont pas de sens stable, que tout signifiant glisse, que toute lecture est une trahison, que l'auteur est mort et que le lecteur règne. Deleuze a enseigné qu'il fallait préférer le rhizome à l'arbre, le nomade au sédentaire, le désir à la loi, le devenir à l'être, la différence à l'identité.
Pris isolément, ce sont des thèses discutables. Combinées, exportées, vulgarisées, elles forment un système. Et ce système est un poison.
Car voici ce qui s'est passé. Ces textes, illisibles en France, ont traversé l'Atlantique. Les départements de Yale, de Berkeley, de Columbia les ont absorbés dans les années 80. Ils y ont trouvé un terreau qui n'existait pas chez nous : le puritanisme américain, sa culpabilité raciale, son obsession identitaire. La French Theory s'est mariée à ce substrat, et l'enfant de ce mariage s'appelle le wokisme.
Judith Butler lit Foucault et invente le genre performatif. Edward Said lit Foucault et invente le post-colonialisme académique. Kimberlé Crenshaw hérite du cadre et invente l'intersectionnalité. À chaque étape, la matrice est française : il n'y a pas de vérité, il n'y a que du pouvoir, donc toute hiérarchie est suspecte, toute institution est oppressive, toute norme est violence, toute identité est construite donc négociable, toute majorité est coupable.
Voilà comment trois philosophes parisiens, qui n'ont probablement jamais imaginé leurs conséquences pratiques, ont fourni le logiciel d'exploitation à une génération entière d'activistes, de bureaucrates universitaires, de DRH, de journalistes, de législateurs. Voilà comment on a obtenu une civilisation qui ne sait plus dire si une femme est une femme, si sa propre histoire mérite d'être défendue, si le mérite existe, si la vérité se distingue de l'opinion.
C'est de la merde pour une raison simple, et il faut la dire calmement. Une civilisation se tient debout sur trois piliers : la croyance qu'il existe une vérité accessible à la raison, la croyance qu'il existe un bien distinct du mal, la croyance qu'il existe un héritage à transmettre. La French Theory a entrepris de dynamiter les trois. Pas par méchanceté. Par jeu intellectuel, par fascination du soupçon, par haine de la bourgeoisie qui les avait nourris. Mais le résultat est là. Une génération entière a appris à déconstruire et n'a jamais appris à construire. Une génération entière sait soupçonner et ne sait plus admirer. Une génération entière voit le pouvoir partout et la beauté nulle part.
Je m'excuse parce que nous, Français, avons une responsabilité particulière. C'est notre langue, nos universités, nos éditeurs, notre prestige qui ont donné à ce nihilisme son emballage chic. Sans la légitimité de la Sorbonne et de Vincennes, ces idées n'auraient jamais traversé l'océan. Nous avons exporté le doute comme d'autres exportent des armes.
Ce qui se construit maintenant, en silicon valley, dans les labos d'IA, dans les startups, dans les ateliers, dans tous les lieux où des gens fabriquent encore des choses au lieu de les déconstruire, c'est la réponse. Une civilisation se reconstruit par les bâtisseurs, pas par les commentateurs. Par ceux qui croient que la vérité existe et qu'elle vaut qu'on s'y consacre. Par ceux qui assument une hiérarchie du beau, du vrai, du bon, et qui n'ont pas honte de la transmettre.
Alors pardon. Et au travail.
Thinking about the response to the Red button/blue button viral thought experiment:
Humanity as a whole always hedges. It's how we survive.
What's worrying are the blue button pushers who either through ideology or lack of imagination, take all the complex reasoning, risk/reward analysis, kin selection for parents, different ethical positions about responsibility and duty etc and collapse it into a reductive and black and white "red button pushers are irredeemably selfish and evil". The inability to see that good people can come to different conclusions about things is the first step on the slippery slope to totalitarianism and ideological purity.

Full-cycle primary energy to move a comparable car 100 miles (well-to-wheel + amortized manufacturing):
🚗 Gasoline ICE (typical sedan/SUV)
140–160 kWh
⚡ EV powered by solar/wind
28–40 kWh
→ 3–5× less total energy for the EV.
The key difference? Renewables are a one-time infrastructure investment (steel, concrete, copper, rare materials) that lasts 20–30+ years. Fossil upstream costs repeat every single mile.
"Let Them" is one of the simplest mindset shifts I've come across for cutting stress and anxiety.
When someone disapproves of your choices, judges your path, or lets their prejudices show — let them.
You can't control what they think, say, or feel. Trying to just puts you on an exhausting treadmill of seeking approval or defending yourself.
Say "Let Them" and suddenly the mental load lightens. Your energy goes back to what you can control: your own thoughts, actions, and peace.
It's not giving up — it's reclaiming power. Anyone else tried this? How did it feel?

okay I guess I have to talk about Péter Magyar here.
Let me just start with saying, in a very unladylike way, that you guys seem to have zero clue what happened in Hungary in the last two years, you completely miss the point, and you're a disappointing bunch.
Let's go.
