Britain has a Russia problem. And his name is Nigel Farage.

Today, Ofcom finally banned RT. 8 long years after Russia illegally invaded Crimea.

But this is their man. RT - whose editor described it as a "weapon" of the Russian state - is what made Farage into who is today.

RT is not just a TV channel. It's at centre of a whole ecosystem of Kremlin propaganda. Clips uploaded to YouTube were laced between mesmerising videos of tsunamis & tornadoes.

It was clickbait wizardry.

As ex-YouTuber @gchaslot told me no-one milked YouTube's algo like RT.
2/
And who was RT's favourite man in the West?

This man. It's not just that Farage was paid by RT - the Russian state - for appearances over years. Though he was.

It's that RT - the biggest news channel on YouTube - made him a star.

The best study I've seen on suicide and gender affirming treatment for adolescents found that post treatment suicide increased by 74%. Unlike many studies, this was longitudinal, based on medical records rather than self report, included everyone who...

...got the treatment as opposed to just those who stayed trans, and still managed a decent sample size. The sample is imperfect as its based on military hospital data, and we can always argue about why suicide might increase post treatment, but on net it has fewer major issues...
...than the other studies on this I've seen. That said, this is an area where high uncertainly is always merited as even our best data is of limited quality.

If Obamacare were truly affordable, we wouldn’t be talking about subsidies.

15 years later, the so-called “Affordable Care Act” is anything but. Now, Dems are desperately distracting you from their failed policies.🧵⬇️
With the average cost of family health insurance soaring to $27,000, it shouldn’t be a surprise that nearly half of Americans say they find it difficult to afford healthcare costs.

Following the implementation of Obamacare, healthcare costs have rapidly outpaced inflation. Image
While Dems have spent weeks blaming Republicans for premium increases, they’re ignoring that they are responsible for the policies that have created this mess.

The Genocide Libel was born in 2001, not 2023.

This is the story of a 22-year campaign by NGOs to criminalize Israel's self-defense, turning human rights tools into lawfare again democracies and their citizens.
🧵
2/The campaign began at the UN Conference on Racism in Durban, Sept 2001.

Hundreds of “human rights” groups declared Israel a racist, apartheid state guilty of war crimes, ethnic cleansing and genocide.

It was the first time these charges had all been used together. Image
3/ More alarming was the sudden unanimity.

Durban revealed an NGO cartel that spoke with one voice on Israel.

What looked like moral consensus was institutional coordination on the verdict. How did this happen? Image

NYT: Today, Fire Point is Ukraine’s biggest private drone maker, with $1B in defense contracts and 30 secret hidden plants.

NYT says its FP-1 kamikaze drones hit oil refineries 1350 km inside Russia at $58K each, not $1M+ per missile, the Western cost.

1/
FP-1 flies 1350 km, carries a 60-kg warhead, and Ukraine now uses it for 60% of deep strikes in Russia.

Fire Point now builds “Flamingo”: jet engine, 2880-km range, 1-ton warhead. 2/
General David Petraeus calls it a possible “game-changer,” but Ukraine hasn’t used it at scale yet. 3/

Pour @conspiration, je couvre le procès intenté pour cyberharcèlement par Brigitte Macron contre plusieurs internautes français, dont Aurélien Poirson-Atlan alias « Zoé Sagan ».

Live tweet  ⤵️ Image
D'autres posts cités évoquent la « reconnaissance faciale » très chère à Xavier Poussard qui confirmerait « la piste transsexuelle » ou qualifient Brigitte Macron de « poufiasse dégénérée pédosataniste ».
Est également cité un post, assez viral, du twittos complotiste AlexNoMatrixé mentionnant une chanson sur « la bite à Brigitte ».

🧵 ANÁLISIS BERGHAIN - ROSALIA

1. PLANO INICIAL:

Rosalía llega a su casa y abre las cortinas para que entre la luz. La estatua de la Virgen marca desde el principio la dualidad clave: espiritualidad vs. deseo. El hogar es refugio, pero también prisión. Image
2. LA ORQUESTA EN LA COCINA:

La música llega como pensamiento, como ruido emocional interior.

Los violines podrían ser la ansiedad, la intensidad amorosa, los recuerdos…

Son pensamientos intrusivos o emociones que no puede controlar. Image
3. CAMINAR CON CULPA:

Rosalía lleva rosarios en los tacones. Pisa con cruces.
Cada paso duele como una oración que nadie escucha.
El deseo se convierte en fe torcida.
El cuerpo femenino, una iglesia que no protege: exige.

Amar también es cargar con lo sagrado. Image

1/ Das @ZDF. Fünf Schritte im Gazakrieg, die die Reputation der Anstalt massiv geschädigt haben. Ein Muster. Erster Akt: Das ZDF meldet, ein "Journalist", ein Mitarbeiter des ZDF sei von Israel getötet worden.
Image
2/ Das Interview ist maximal arrogant. Nein, sagt Thomas Reichart, da sei "ein Muster zu erkennen". Ist es: Das Muster der Fake News. Das zweifelnd vorgetragene IDF-Statement stellt sich als wahr heraus. eigentlich müsste man sich entschuldigen. Aber:
tagesspiegel.de/gesellschaft/m…
3/ So richtig rüber kommt die entschuldigung nicht. Wieder einmal hat das ZDF einfach etwas behauptet, das Hass auf Israel schürt - und damit auf deutsche Juden, ob man will oder nicht. Und wieder einmal war es falsch. Lernkurve? Null.
Beispiel: 17. Oktober 2023 - das ZDF berichtet (mittlerweile gelöscht) über Al-Ahli. Nur: "Hunderte Menschen" sind nicht gestorben. Ein Parkplatz wurde von einer PIJ- Rakete aus Gaza (!) getroffen. Klarheit? Nicht mal im Nachhinein.Image

Σήμερα, μέσα στις άλλες,
μια γυναίκα ήρθε στο γραφείο.
Γλυκιά, δειλή, με πλησίασε και μου είπε:

''Έχω το γιο μου φυλακισμένο στο Χαϊδάρι.
Μέρες τώρα προσπαθώ να τον δω
και δε μπορώ.

Τον λένε Δεϊμέζη. Μήπως ξέρετε τίποτα;
Μήπως έγινε κανένα κακό;'' Image
Μόλις άκουσα το όνομα πάγωσα.
Το θυμόμουν.

Το είχα δει μέσα στους τελευταίους
καταλόγους των σκοτωμένων ομήρων.

Δεν είχα τη δύναμη να πω την αλήθεια
μα πάλι ούτε ψέματα στα γαλανά μάτια
που με κοίταζαν με απόλυτη εμπιστοσύνη.

Με κοίταζε και περίμενε με υπομονή.
''Τον έχουν πάρει από το Χαϊδάρι'',
είπα σιγά. ''Δεν τον βρίσκω πουθενά.''

Έμεινε σιωπηλή.
Ένας σπασμός στο λαιμό
έδειχνε όλη της τη συγκίνηση.

Έπειτα με κόπο απάντησε:
''Ίσως να τον έχουν σκοτώσει.''

Της πήρα το χέρι. Το κεφάλι και
το στομάχι μου πονούσαν φριχτά.

@Broabad @DavidWilberBlog So, do you think that the "law of God" in Romans 7:1-6 ("dead to the law") is different from the "law of God" in Romans 7:22-8:4?

1/2
@Broabad @DavidWilberBlog If the former passage means "the Mosaic Law no longer applies to you" and the latter passage means "Instead, live a Christ-filled life," than wouldn't that require the definition of "law" to change at some point in Romans 7? If so, where is the verse where it does so?

We will shortly be live tweeting from day 5 of evidence from the hearing of Ms B Hutchison & others v County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust being held at Newcastle Employment Tribunal. Image
A group of nurses from Darlington Memorial Hospital, are bringing this ET against their employers alleging sexual harassment and sex discrimination.

It concerns the Trust’s policy of allowing a male colleague, identifying as a woman named Rose Henderson, to use the female changing room.
The nurses argue that sharing the changing facilities with Henderson has caused them distress. One nurse, a survivor of sexual abuse, reported experiencing panic attacks.
After raising concerns with hospital management, they were informed they needed to be “re-educated” to be more 'inclusive' and offered an office space to change in instead of the female changing room.

Die gemeinnützige Initiative LobbyControl hatte Weimer „Interessenkonflikte zwischen seinen Rollen als Staatsminister und Medienunternehmer“ vorgeworfen.
▶️ „Es ist hochproblematisch, dass erst jetzt durch Medienrecherchen bekannt wird, wie stark Staatsminister Weimer weiterhin persönlich an der Weimer Media Group beteiligt ist“, sagte Sprecher Timo Lange.
