Funny how nobody is calling this a white child abuse gang. Nobody is rioting in the streets. Nobody is calling for all whites to be deported. Nobody is setting fire to hotels full of white men. Nobody has claimed that political correctness let this gang operate for so long. Nobody has demanded a public enquiry. Nobody has said that white culture caused this.

In case everyone's forgotten, the US #healthInsurance racket continues.

https://www.theregister.com/2025/01/07/def_con_security_chief_injured

Marc Rogers, DEF CON's head of security, faces tens of k$ in medical bills. Hurt neck. Nothing on X-rays, insurance wouldn't cover MRI. Subsequently became quadriplegic. Emergency surgery followed by 3 weeks physical therapy, but insurance company only covering week 1. GoFundMe set up for remaining 2 weeks. Which would probably not be needed if he'd had that MRI promptly.

Latest challenge for mass moderation: extreme violence put through a style filter that turns the people into e.g. minions. This is a still from a drug cartel execution video on TikTok. @mmasnick would this be of interest?

Could better roads help defeat the populist right?

"... all four of the seats recently gained by Reform uk (Lee Anderson already held Ashfield) have a “missing road”. Not only that, poor transport infrastructure is correlated with the seats the party appears most likely to win next time."

Can potholes fuel populism?

The UK government has responded to this petition:

Apply for the UK to join the European Union as a full member as soon as possible.

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/700005

"The Government was elected on a manifesto that made clear there will be no return to EU membership. However, we are determined to reset the UK-EU relationship, putting it on a more solid footing." [follow link for rest of response]

This is now over 44,000. If it gets to 100,000 the Gov will consider debating it.
