The best video you’ll watch all day: It’s discriminatory to call it the Straits of Hormuz, it should be the Gays of Hormuz.

Truth is now considered a right-wing conspiracy. That’s the chilling line from Melanie Phillips that stopped me in my tracks. She explains how we’ve reached a point where simply stating observable reality — whether it’s basic biology defining a woman or pushing back against blanket accusations that all white people are inherently bad — gets you branded as evil. Not wrong. Evil. Therefore you must be silenced, cancelled, or erased. No debate. No evidence allowed. She calls it cultural totalitarianism: a Manichean worldview where one ideology claims a monopoly on goodness, progress, and reason itself. Dissent isn’t argued with — it’s treated as a moral threat that has to be removed. The deepest irony? In an era that smugly ditched religion in the name of superior rationality, we’ve ended up rejecting reason, evidence, and open inquiry altogether. We’re so “rational” we’ve dispensed with the very tools of rationality. It doesn’t add up. Her take has me wondering how we got here — and how quickly disagreement turned into moral excommunication. Anyone else seeing this pattern play out in conversations lately? Where have you felt truth itself become off-limits?

This chart is the reason why every single socialist must be laughed at and shamed over and over. A wealthy nation tried socialism and destroyed its economy - Venzeuela. A socialist country tried capitalism and created prosperity - Poland. Socialists, all of them, are fundamentally stupid people. They have a childish approach to economics, ideologically stuck to an idea WHICH CAN'T WORK and has NEVER WORKED. Despite the wealth of evidence through the entirety of history, they stick to this stupid idea - an idea which creates poverty, misery and death. Why? Because they can't get their stupid heads around the idea that some people get rich. Shame them, over and over, laugh in their faces and shame their stupidity.

Socialism is the theory that if you abolish profit, bread will somehow bake itself out of moral superiority.

Never came across anything as infuriatingly useless as @wizzair bag checking at Rome Fiumicino. Beyond belief.

I find myself deeply puzzled by a certain Western phenomenon: the climate activists, human rights advocates, and self-proclaimed progressives who somehow end up echoing Hamas talking points. What drives that contradiction? How do people who fight to “save the planet” from harm find moral comfort supporting a movement that glorifies violence, suppresses women, persecutes minorities, and burns its own children’s future? Let’s look beyond politics and explore the mental model behind it. 1. The Need for a Simple “Good vs. Evil” Story These activists often think in binary moral categories: victim vs. oppressor, colonized vs. colonizer. It simplifies a chaotic world into a clear moral map, a comforting illusion of “knowing who the bad guys are.” In that story, Palestinians automatically play the victim role, and therefore Hamas becomes “the resistance,” not a tyrannical regime. They don’t need facts, they need moral clarity, even if it’s false. 2. Projection of Guilt and Desire for Redemption Western societies carry deep historical guilt: colonialism, racism, environmental destruction. Supporting a cause that appears “anti-imperialist” becomes a psychological cleansing ritual. They see themselves as allies of the oppressed, but in truth they’re not helping us - they’re washing their own conscience. 3. The Attraction to Emotional Intensity Movements like Hamas weaponize emotion: pain, rage, sacrifice, “resistance.” For young activists raised in digital comfort, this intensity feels authentic. They crave moral struggle the way others crave adventure. They mistake destruction for depth. 4. Moral Narcissism It’s not about the truth, it’s about feeling virtuous. Many Western activists are driven less by compassion and more by the need to be seen as compassionate. The Palestinian cause becomes a theater stage for their self-image - they cry for Gaza online, but never once ask how Hamas treats Palestinians inside Gaza. 5. Cognitive Dissonance and Selective Empathy To maintain their worldview, they must filter reality, ignore Hamas executing dissenters, silencing women, stealing aid, or building tunnels under schools. They can’t hold both truths at once: that Palestinians suffer and that Hamas is their main tormentor. So they delete one truth to keep the comfort of moral simplicity. 6. The Cult of “Resistance” Climate activism teaches “act now or we all die.” Hamas propaganda echoes that emotional urgency: “resist or be erased.” It taps into the same psychological fuel: panic, purpose, identity. Except one fights to preserve life; the other glorifies death. When I see these activists marching with slogans that defend Hamas, I don’t see solidarity, I see psychological confusion dressed as morality. They don’t understand our reality. They project their fantasies of rebellion onto our tragedy, and in doing so, they become useful tools for the very forces that keep us oppressed. If they truly cared about Palestinians, they would stand with those of us who reject Hamas, reject the cult of death, and dream of a future built - not burned.

Diogo Dalot. Total spoofer. How is that clown part of a leadership group? #MUFC

Wild boar running through a dog park. Could you imagine trying to get your dog to not chase the boar. 🤣🤣🤣

Does Matt Healy just change the lyrics for each 1975 song? Everything the same bland sound. Fucking boring. #GlastonburyFestival

This letter in The Times says it all

They are investigating the nurse for calling the patient Mr… I warned about this for years!!

Once a dead body has been in the ground for more than a few weeks it is almost impossible to determine the gender. This is caused by biodegradable pronoun badges.

There are two types of women 😂

😂

This is a masterpiece.

You haven't seen complexity in art until you've seen this 600-year-old painting. It's so detailed that modern medicine has been able to diagnose this man's exact type of blindness. And that's where things get mind-bendingly strange — this whole thing is an illusion... 🧵
