I upload politics videos to YouTube most days.
I have three channels:
I Am Incorrigible
Still Incorrigible
Incorrigible Forever.
I rotate between them for reasons I've explained on YT.
Current channel: I Am Incorrigible

Is there any news orgn. that is meeting the seriousness of this moment in history?
Are there any that are not playing the part of the New York Times watching the rise of Hitler & the Nazis in the 1930s?
You wonder how it happened, well you are seeing it in real time.

The key metric is "active users", if you don't post or even open yjer app, you won't be included in the stats used by advertisers etc. that fund it

I've been rate limited on BS after trying to transfer too many old tweets to the new place - In case anyone following me on both sites was interested in knowing what happened.
I think it might be for the maximum 24 hours.
Will return to BS once I've served my sentence.

Well, it took a year, but critical mass at the other place has been achieved.
As a result, I will be moving my output of brain farts to the other site, and will not be posting on Twitter.

While Musk owns this site, my days on here are numbered, but we must decide where it is we all want to go before I can leave.

5. In conclusion, I'm staying for now, using the #Xdissenter hashtag in my profile. I also have accounts on Threads and BlueSky. But if we're going to leave, let's do it together, and decide which platform to migrate to.
Your views are welcome, as ever.

There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin', everybody's in the play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day?

Honestly, if I hear another Tory claim that they handed Labour "the fastest growing economy in the G7" again, I think my head will explode.
It's BS.
Obviously.

I've said it before, & it should be obvious, but it takes some time (maybe 18 months to 2 years) before govt economic policies make a meaningful impact on GDP and other core indicators.
This is the Tory legacy.

The UK economy in 2019 was worth £2,200,000,000,000 (£2.2trn).
Our own (Tory) govt at the time estimated a US-UK trade deal could be worth just £3.4bn equivalent to 0.2% of UK GDP
Why would swap that for EU trade?

The UK economy in 2019 was £2,200,000,000,000 (£2.2trn).
The govt thinks a US-UK trade deal us worth £3.4bn.
This is Brexit's sunny uplands.

It was always about class. It's the media (the right wing media in particular, but not solely) that have turned electoral politics into a culture wars shit show, and broken both economic reality and class consciousness.

For the first time in 80 years, voters associate the Democrats more with sociocultural issues than with class and economic solidarity.

A dementia drug based on a chemical discovered in an exotic type of snail was just invented. Studying the reproductive habits of insects has allowed us to increase crop yields.
You think you’re making a good point but you don’t even have the capacity to realize how dumb you are.

Probably make it private though.

He said he was going to buy 55,000 Bibles with taxpayer money and force every public school teacher to teach from it. Now he’s holding a $60 Trump Bible for his official announcement. Christian Nationalist Grifting.

'The only way we can understand what Israel is doing in an overall sense is not a series of war crimes. It is one big crime and that the name for that is genocide.' My question to Israeli historian Benny Morris - which he didn't answer - in @mehdirhasan's new @AJHeadtoHead.

And so it begins.
When dictators and their imperial decisions go unpunished, others become emboldened.
North Korea has launched kamikaze drones into South Korea as a ‘test.’
