So X has now lost being politically in-touch. It already has been owned by Bond level villain and deliberately feeding the worst parts of the human lizard brain. Lose illegal football highlights and you’re really in trouble here

Very sad to hear of the death of John Charmley (aged 69). Born in Birkenhead, he was a larger than life character and a brilliant historian. His books on Chamberlain and Churchill were thought-provoking and superbly written. He will be greatly missed.

If the self victimization of the heterodox and bro podcast sphere was an energy source we would have unlimited power.

It’s absolutely pathetic how much of a meltdown any sniff of genuine disagreement causes amongst the ‘heterodox’ podcast world.

The passive voice is telling. I had an absent father - I blame him for that; society didn't 'create' his desire to bail on my mum. But society did make it easier for women to leave abusive men. Male violence is one of the leading causes of absent dads.

It would be funny if it wasn't tragic that generations of people who created a society of children growing up without fathers are now shocked and horrified that young men and boys are looking for male role models in all the wrong places.

Kyle Clifford has just been found guilty of raping his ex girlfriend before brutally murdering her and her sister with a crossbow, and stabbing her mother to death. Less than 24 hours before his attack he had been listening to an Andrew Tate podcast.

OUT TODAY: are there any better words than “this is a well-written, informative account that identifies a niche in the existing historiography”? Fans of British and Irish history and their various university libraries can now judge for themselves!

You do start to appreciate why the Catholic Church’s stance for most of history was “you idiots are NOT allowed to form your own opinions”

Apparently, one of Michelle Trachtenberg's favorite foods was spinach and cheese pasta. Very high in vitamin A. She died of liver disease

I'm sorry but this idea that Zelensky is not allowed to be angry at the Vice President of a supposed ally openly shilling for the country which is murdering his people is just absurd.

@Tim_Andrews1 Mar 2025
The fact that President Zelensky called Vice President Vance a “Suka” (a vulgar swear term perhaps best translated into English as “bitch”) under his breath which is clearly seen on all the videos, should tell you all you need to know …

You don’t understand, somebody called JD Vance a hillbilly and looked down on him in middle school so now Ukrainians have to be slaughtered by Russia

Goodwin has gone full alt-right. Even many broadly pro-Trump people on the right are disgusted with the Trump/Vance ambush, but Moscow Matt here is clapping like a seal.
