Carl Quintanilla: Real average hourly earnings down 0.7% on the month, that's the sixth straight month... Jim Cramer: Look, rich people are making a lot of money. God, I sound like Marx. I really don't want to sound like Marx. It's just, look at the data.

NEW EPISODE OUT NOW! Today it’s the 1st in a new series about the weird & wonderful world of transhumanism: the idea that human beings can be transformed by technology and machines. David talks to historian of ideas @duncanbell.bsky.social about where it all began. Find us at...🎧 ppfideas.com

IF the strike aircraft were driven out of RAF Fairford by an enemy threat, then that enemy has enjoyed more success than the Luftwaffe during the whole of the Battle of Britain.

@nath-ormond.bsky.social's criticisms of "Bayesianism" in philosophy have gone a long way towards unfucking my brain, from years of confusing debate/philosophy consumption. www.youtube.com/live/-KMTzj9...

So you're telling me this guy isn't commutative? Platonists in SHAMBLES!

So pleased to hear this confirmed in the PM’s speech. Big congrats to @makevotesmatter.bsky.social and all who’ve campaigned for it! At last we have a chance to restore trust in our politics with a system where “everyone’s views count and everyone’s vote matters” 👏👏👏

The Burnham speech: firstly, it was a vision. We've not had a national vision for two decades at least. If he can persuade the country on fixing the EU relationship, political reform, establishing a new care system and his theory of growth holds then he will be a transformational Prime Minister.

Bad Apologetics is back for those interested. In this case, we cover Joe Schmid's conversion to Catholicism and his case from Natural Theology for Theism. www.youtube.com/live/aq1vzEf...

What happened to Steven Pinker? I only felt free to write this because he blocks me: www.thenerve.news/p/steven-pin...

This is an excellent video essay about how the psychopathology of weak men has been selected for in a group of elite podcasters/influencers controlled by billionaires in order to radicalise and manufacture consent. Very horrific. youtu.be/wn9pQb4ukBo?...

Happy receive this shining endorsement from Bethel McGrew 🥰🤗☺️

Jason Arday's utterly sad death holds a stark mirror up to the dehumanising political-media-societal culture we are in – one we must all be honest about being complicit in – which forgets there is a human being at the centre of a story, a case study, an issue, a scandal. It is dehumanising.

Ma vie avec @vilain.bsky.social 😔

Usually my A-Level results day post is to commiserate all the incoming LSE students for failing to get the required marks for Oxbridge, but since there are no 18 years old on this website to read my cruel mockery it hardly feels worth it.

Something happened in 1837, but it didn't last. Use of Vererbungsfähigkeit ('inheritance capacity' - not yet 'heritability') and Vererbung ('inheritance/heredity') in Austro-Hungarian agricultural journals.

Glad "Ye" got over his MAGA AI slop Nazi phase. New album is 🔥. Very cool.

New, from me: It is fine to disagree with aspects of the pandemic response. But what we saw at Fauci's hearing was something different: a show trial where cranks tried to threaten and shift blame to an public servant. Here is why this is bad for all of us.🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/watching-t...

🔴 NEW: Palantir Co-Founder Peter Thiel and Reform UK’s Cambridge University Recruitment Pipeline Project Revealed By @nafeez.bsky.social, @peterjukes.bsky.social and @hardeepmatharu.bsky.social The world-renowned academic institution has nothing to say in response to a six-month investigation…

The Green Party say they will not stand in the Clacton by-election either. Zack Polanski: "This is a desperate stunt from a desperate politician whose lifetime of grifting is finally catching up with him. Greens will play no part in his political circus"

Honestly I could see a possible loss for Farage here. Even if he wins, I hope to God that the standards committee investigation is just waiting ready for as soon as he is in. This, and we're going to win the world cup

I've been a critic of Nigel Farage but he makes a good point. Listening to this 30min rant, I've now realised Nigel is literally the most persecuted guy to ever live. Such a hero putting up with everything he's put up with. #SorryNige

Intrigued to hear Danny Kruger, of Reform UK, tell Any Questions that universities need to "change their business model". What would he suggest? Selling crypto? Acting as "brand ambassadors" for Direct Bullion? Recording videos saying "Up the Ra"? Or getting a billionaire to chuck us £5 million?

Woke 2.0 is caring about Affordability ( this is a direct entailment of William of Ockham's nominalism, a doctrine responsible for 75 billion deaths ) / sarcasm

As an adoptee, my earliest understandings of banal evil were caused by encountering the ways people were "just following orders [laws/rules]" whilst simultaneously experiencing the pain/consequences of unjust and poorly thought through laws. Interesting watching the state apologise now.

Musk is effectively approving the murder of Jo Cox here

Honestly wild that one can dedicate one's life to education and public service but still get this treatment from Goodwin et al. I mean, like, I get it, I get how racism works. Whole point is making judgements independent of what you do or are like; content of your character! But still, wild to see.

My favourite saying of Jesus: ( If you needed more evidence these "Christians" are just cosplaying in Temu outfits )

This is a funny way of saying "Trump is so corrupt and evil that Nixon seems like an angel in comparison."

Climate breakdown is here. We must double down on efforts to decarbonise but that's not enough. We need new rights at work to protect us from climate danger - failing to act now will endanger workers' lives and cost our health service dearly.

Expanding ULEZ London-wide was even more important than we previously thought. Action on air pollution has been life-saving.

📣New interiew📣 'Men like Trump, Musk, and Thiel are overwhelmingly anxious about not only “white death” but also about their own mortality' @hannamorris.bsky.social discusses the rise of apocalyptic authoritarianism. reacpol.net/apocalyptic-...

Until the left understands that "immigration" is a "concern" created in a top down manner to divert from other issues, it will continue to fight the (far)right on its turf This is what I explored here at length journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

The attacks in Edinburgh, in which an armed bare-chested white man terrorised Muslims, leaving five people injured, don't feature on a single newspaper front page this morning. Two tier journalism

Let's be very clear that vicious anti Muslim hatred by politicians and their trillionaire mate Elon Musk create the conditions for this kind of vile attack. Sending huge solidarity to the Muslim community in Edinburgh and beyond.

New blog post from me. Behaviourism is Cool and Doesn't Make you a P-Zombie. open.substack.com/pub/nathanor...

I'm old enough to remember when Nigel Farage would hold a press conference at the drop of a hat. So why is he now launching his divisive policies in a blog post from the safety of his keyboard? I can think of 5 million reasons why…
