Ideological conditioning and two-tiered policing are glaring symptoms of civilizational decline. They must be rejected across the West.

The United States sends our condolences to the family of Henry Nowak and the people of the United Kingdom at this troubling time.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

For those mainly Pakistani men who have inflicted the very worst pain imaginable on innocent British children, please know this.

There will come a day when the power of the British state that concealed your atrocious crimes for so very long is turned against you.

It will be swift. It will be brutal. It will be severe.

Because if Restore Britain gets a sniff of power, there will be a reckoning. I promise you that.

We will show you the same mercy you showed our girls.

Your race or religion will not protect you any longer.

A message will be sent that is heard right across the world.

If you rape our children, you will pay for it - and you will pay for it with everything.

That is what Restore Britain will do.

None of this is satire.

→ A company spent $500,000,000 on Claude in one month because nobody set usage limits

→ Uber ran leaderboards ranking engineers by how much AI they used, not what they shipped

→ Uber burned their entire 2026 budget by April. Their COO said he can’t connect any of it to consumer features

→ A CTO told Axios employees were using enterprise AI to check the weather

→ Microsoft canceled most Claude Code licenses because the token bill spiraled

→ Companies are now laying people off to pay the AI bill. Not because AI replaced the work. Because the bill replaced the headcount.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

I want to be really clear in my response. I am not going to retract anything, I stand by every single word. Labour are calling for me to apologise. The answer is no.

Industrial rape across almost every town and city in Britain.

Sexual torture. Murder. Endless rape.

I sat there for two weeks, listening to these girls.

I heard how one girl was raped by a dog, as Muslim men bet on what the animal would do.

Girls drugged and locked in cages, like rats.

Another, raped by 700 men over three years.

Dozens and dozens of these stories through our inquiry, and we are barely scratching the surface.

This was allowed to happen EXACTLY because politicians were cowards, refusing to discuss it.

I will not make that same mistake. I said what I said, and I meant it.

The Labour Party have blood on their hands, yet they think they can demand an apology from me for highlighting the systemic evil they allowed to infect our entire country?

They can piss off.

I am angry about it. Furious. When you hear directly from these girls about what they have been through, it changes the way you see politics. Forever.

Our report will be out very soon.

When that happens, I don’t want any apologies from the Labour Party. I don’t care about that.

I want to see those politicians responsible for covering up this atrocity behind bars for what they have done to these girls.

Most anti-buddhist quote ever.

[Courtney Mares @catholicourtney]

In his first encyclical, Pope Leo XIV quotes J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.”

“It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till.”

I always think of this quote on memorial weekend.

[Anna D. West 🇺🇸 @SlimWiggy]

While references to the Barbary pirates and Islamic enslavement of European Christians is rare in the modern era, here's a notable exception.

Outlander (book 1991, show 2014) doesn't focus much on the topic but does introduce a character who had been abducted and maimed during his captivity in Algiers.

It's brief, but just these few sentences about character Hugh Munro's story says it all. Captured at sea, held in captivity, tortured in an attempt to convert him "to the Musselman religion," which is precisely how an 18th century character would've worded it.

This was the all too unpleasant reality until the 19th century for Europeans. A constant threat of abduction and enslavement by Muslims, who in no way see a moral or religious issue in conquest, taxation or enslavement of non Muslims.

Overall, Outlander was great at including these bits of history and kind of flew under the radar as a rather unwoke bit of television. There were a few films shortly after WW2 on the this topic but references dropped off sharply after that era, which made this scene all the more refreshing and realistic to the period:

[Dr. M.F. Khan @Dr_TheHistories]

Captain Cook loaded 7,860 pounds of sauerkraut onto the HMS Endeavour in 1768. His crew refused to eat it, so he served it exclusively to the officers and made sure they ate it visibly in front of the crew every single day until the sailors decided they wanted some too. Not one man died of scurvy on the entire three-year voyage.

Cook circumnavigated the world on his first voyage without losing a single man to scurvy and the Royal Society of London awarded him the Copley Medal on his return, one of the most prestigious scientific honours in Britain, specifically for his methods of preserving the health of his crew. The achievement was genuinely extraordinary. Scurvy had been killing sailors on long voyages for centuries, with some estimates suggesting it killed more sailors than enemy action, storms and all other causes of death combined. Cook solved it with fermented cabbage and a very specific understanding of human psychology.

A typical daily menu aboard the Endeavour consisted of breakfast with boiled wheat and sugar, a midday dinner of salted beef stew and vegetables, and an evening meal of soup with ship's biscuits so hard they had to be broken up with a marlin spike. The ship carried approximately 5,500 litres of beer, 7,300 litres of spirits, 16 tonnes of bread, 2 tonnes of salted beef and over 3 tonnes of sauerkraut.

The sailors ate approximately 5,000 calories a day to sustain the physical demands of running an 18th century sailing ship. Cook also carried portable broth made from cattle offal, forty bushels of malt, vinegar, mustard and concentrated citrus juice as additional anti-scurvy measures. He was running what was effectively the first controlled nutritional experiment in naval history across three years and 40,000 miles of ocean.

The sauerkraut psychology is the detail that stay with me in this story. Cook noticed that Dutch sailors suffered far less from scurvy than their British counterparts and observed that they carried barrels of sauerkraut. He ordered his ships to do the same but his British sailors refused the unfamiliar foreign food entirely. His solution was to serve it only to the officers while making sure they ate it visibly in front of the crew. Within weeks the sailors were demanding their share, and Cook understood that sailors suspicious of an unfamiliar food would eat it the moment they believed someone of higher status was being given something they were not.

This is something that a lot of people find it hard to get their head around, that a lot of 'Victorian sexual morality', when applied both in and outside Europe, was actually progressive because 'free love' in premodern contexts basically meant indiscriminate abuse of both men and women.

🚨 NEW: The Government will review the sentencing of three teenage boys after they avoided jail for raping two girls, including one at knife point

Two of the boys received youth rehabilitation orders while the judge praised their behaviour in court

[Mitya @Discollaborator]

To be clear, it wasn't a "crusade against elves" it was a crusade against people who live in trees. A lot of those happened to be elves, sure, but we also killed plenty of gnomes and mousefolk. Even a village of giant sentient owls. Hard to call any of that "racially motivated".

[Jeff Ditzler @JeffDitzler]

I am hearing that on his deathbed, Thomas Massie received the light of neoconservatism and unhesitatingly recited that there are known knowns, known unknowns, and unknown unknowns. Even now he looks down on the faithful from the Bagram AFB Burger King.

[Prof Katherine Sleeman @kesleeman]

Politics aside, here are 10 reasons why using the Parliament Acts to force the Terminally Ill Adults Bill into law is a bad idea:

1. The Royal College of Physicians have said the Bill is unsafe

2. The Royal College of Psychiatrists have said the Bill is unworkable, and unsafe

3. The British Geriatrics Society have said the Bill’s safeguards are not adequate

4. Domestic abuse charities have said the Bill is unsafe

5. Organisations representing disabled people have said the Bill is unsafe

6. Royal College of GPs says the Bill lacks adequate safeguards

7. Lord Stevens, ex NHS CEO, said legislating for assisted dying in the current climate of hospice cuts is “utterly ridiculous”

8. MIND says the safeguards are not adequate

9. The CLADD group at KCL (DOI) have said the Bill is “not fit for purpose”

10. The British Association of Social Workers say the Bill’s is not safe enough

[Leo Kearse - see me on tour! Links in bio @LeoKearse]

I was shocked at the thuggery I witnessed at the Tommy Robinson rally:
-A man struck a young girl on the head with a baseball bat and then raped her with the bat.
-Men nailed a girl's tongue to a block of wood while they raped her.
-One man used a pump to expand a girl's anus, then subjected her to gang rape by 6 men. At one point 4 men were inside her at once.
-Men burned their names into the skin of girls they raped.
-Girls were burned with boiling water, beaten with dog chains and forced to drink urine.
-One man got a 12 year old pregnant, then burned her house down, killing her, her unborn child, her disabled sister and her mother.
-A girl who'd been raped by multiple men was stabbed to death and her body dumped in a canal.
-A 15 year old girl who'd been gang raped was injected with heroin by a 50 year old man to kill her.

Oh wait - that wasn't at the Tommy Robinson rally. Those were crimes committed by predominantly Pakistani Muslim gangs, with the acquiescence of the people calling today's protesters "far-right thugs".

The terrorists filmed themselves stabbing women’s genitals and decapitating their victim’s heads because they wanted to use it for future Islamic State propaganda. During the trial, one of the victim’s father described how his son had been disemboweled, castrated and then the castrated genitals had been placed in his dead son’s mouth.

It took French authorities over three hours to take back control from a group of radicalized 20 year olds. In those three hours, these 9 young men managed to murder 130 men, women and children.
