7/12: Par exemple, dans le baromĂštre CNCDH, les apartisans s’avĂšrent bcp plus favorables Ă  l’immigration et Ă  la diversitĂ© qu’on le pense. S’ils se mobilisaient ils n’iraient pas vers le RN. Ici il s’agit d’indice longitudinaux par proximitĂ© partisane

Suella Braverman selling 106 copies of her book after all that publicity is so delicious.

Crack 'em while you can, though, because Suella's star might just be on the skids. Despite plugging her book on Question Time, on Tim Shipman's Spectator podcast, in serialised excerpts in the Daily Mail, and in a fawning interview with Allison Pearson in the Telegraph, in its opening weekend, Patriot sold precisely 106 copies.

The media constantly bangs on about the need to listen to the "left behind" or "the people" when referring to the far-right minority wanting to undo any democratic progress When it's young people or communities demanding change on the other hand, that's unacceptable

On en est vraiment Ă  un point oĂč l'on se demande pourquoi un parti politique cherche Ă  collecter les revendications des citoyen·ne·s et Ă  leur donner une forme politique ?

Two elderly gentlemen were arrested at the top of my high street this morning for holding signs saying “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine action”. It took over a dozen police to carry one of them away. When is Burnham going to stop this madness?

It's still astonishing that the President of the United States has absolutely no idea at all what health insurance is or how it works or really pretty much anything actually.

The "left behind" we always hear about? đŸ€”

"Watson divides his time between the UK and US and founded the recruitment firm Futura Energy Group, which describes itself as “a specialist recruitment and build-with talent partner for companies operating across AI”"

Think of it less as bias, and more: it’s snobbery and hierarchy. Badenoch is a ludicrous, disastrously online clown but she is leader of the Tory Party, and that makes her a real person who matters, supported by real people who matter. Polanski is not: he is beneath them, and so are his supporters.

Can't we think of the poor AI expat entrepreneurs?!?!

@aurelmondon.comOct 10, 2026, 10:34 AM

"The contrast between the utterly sycophantic coverage of Badenoch ... and the utterly dismissive coverage of Polanski, who has significantly improved his party’s standing over the past year, tells you everything you need to know about media bias in the UK"

If you want to support a cool independent video game project, look no further!

Creatures like us is a 'radical queer video game about squatting, mutual aid and system change' 🐈‍⬛

The demo is available now and it's brilliant!

Stories is such a good way of putting this. Can a novel be full of pain and suffering? Clearly yes. Does a fictional character suffer in the real world? They're fictional don't be a dumbass.

Timely as I'm putting together a lecture on AI for our first year students... "Researchers recently found that spending just 10 minutes relying on an AI tool significantly impairs the user's ability to focus and persist with difficult tasks"

I’m in DC scheduled to give this talk today. But the organizers flagged slides in my deck that mention racism, structural gaslighting, New Jim Code and other themes that are off limits in the Land of the Free.

This is drivel, and dangerous drivel when there are actual fascists among us.

Just imagine if the UK had some sort of national broadcaster that had a duty to act in the public interest.
