The Iranian state also literally sponsors Holocaust denial en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust…
For me, Corbyn's paid show on Press TV, the antisemitic Iranian state propaganda network, in and of itself and regardless of anything else he has done or said, should have been enough to stop him becoming leader of the Labour Party. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Press_TV_…
Imagine a leader who had been paid up by a TV station which regularly broadcast racist view about black people. He wouldn't have got near a leadership position. Press TV isn't just anti-israel (in case you think that) - it's straightforwardly antisemitic adl.org/news/press-rel…
Full on Holocaust denial, international Jewish lobby conspiracy theories, 9/11 truther stuff. It's the real deal, and I don't mean the fuzzy "criticism of Israel" stuff you are hearing so much about. And Corbyn had a show! And he was paid! And nobody seems to mind.

In the final para here @NickCohen4 suggests that under a Corbyn Labour government the Human Rights Act would be threatened as it places checks on governments... not sure about that! Certainly no signs of it in anything any Labour politician has said
I do get the point and also worry about some of the anti-dissent tendencies around Corbyn's movement. But whether a Corbyn government would go as far as unravelling the HRA which he and his colleagues have clearly supported, I doubt.

PS this photo montage is terrifying
Can't quite decide who the middle photo reminds me of...

Perhaps

Thatcher’s resignation
No wait it was Mandella’s release - that was earlier in the same year

No wait, it was the fall of the Berlin Wall

I’m not very good at this. It was stuff that happened in about 1989/90

I wasn’t very interested in politics
Wait, does Scott and Charlene’s wedding count?

Have dusted off my Nintendo Wii and playing through Super Mario Galaxy with my 8-year-old. Extreme fun and pleasure!
Such an amazingly imaginative and charming game and surprisingly good with two players
Watching a child play a classic Nintendo game for the first time is an amazing pleasure. These games are magical. Takes me back to playing Super Mario World on my friend's imported Super Famicom in 1991 #nerd

[Thread] Based on recent discussions with @SamuelSokol, @TarikCyrilAmar, and @AuschwitzMuseum over the continued debates regarding the "naming" of concentration camps in Poland, I've decided it's time for a thread, b/c this is not about history but the present in Poland.
What has many Poles (and state-run museums) up in arms, is ANY connection of the word "Poland" with Holocaust sites (and more broadly behavior- hence the "correction" above.) They particularly rail against the term "Polish" death or concentration camps. edition.cnn.com/2018/02/01/eur…
The argument is that Poles did not establish or run these camps...which is absolutely correct. But the problem is, no one really thinks Poles built Auschwitz, etc. Sure, there are ignorant people out there or some students, but I defy you to find a scholar making this argument.

1. I recently talked about churnalism that resulted from a Reddit AMA but I didn’t share all the articles that it generated or track exactly how the story spread
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Churnalism

2. In this thread I will trace the path that the story of Evergreen’s abysmal enrollment projections took after Heterodox Academy posted a blog post written by Evergreen faculty member, Mike Paros.
3. I knew as soon as I saw the post that this would happen, but I didn’t think to check back until Wednesday when some Google Alerts I set up to monitor Evergreen news started sending me articles.

1) Here is an op-ed attacking free speech, but it has some good content and I think we should talk about it. bigleaguepolitics.com/media-matters-…
2) The op ed is embedded in an analysis by @bigleaguepol but if you want to see just the video go here:
3) The title of this video op-ed is: “How The Far-Right Is Dividing Americans With Social Media.”

It is published by “Now This” and features Melissa Ryan, “Editor, Ctrl-Alt-Delete” and a “Visiting Fellow, Media Matters.”

Should I ramble about Yoshida Shin, or at least what he's done? 🤔
I'll take Qu and Siliva's likes as a Yes. Okay, let's see.
This is Yoshida Shin himself. Pretty average guy. Pretty unsuspecting. Can't talk much on his early work, as it goes back to some really generic 90s anime.

There's a new report about the US activities of the Russian troll farm that has me scratching my head. 1/ rbc.ru/technology_and…
I've been interested in the Russian propaganda station Russian Today (renamed RT in 2010) since it first aired on Verizon FIOS in DC. 2/
It was entertaining. They'd air straight news and a docu about Sputnik, but nestle some really outrageous conspiracy theories in between. 3/
