My first step into writing about football and took on the topic of Ederson - does data suggest he’s actually one of the best shot stoppers in the league? Have a read and find out: open.substack.com/pub/alexdo…

It's important this performative video is met with the scorn that it deserves.
Silence would be unacceptable.
But it's actually worse to have Labour making sad videos whilst continuing to arm a genocide and arrest those who protest. It should be beneath contempt.
One of the more sickening aspects of the Russel Brand case is that at no point in his career was he ever hiding who and what he was, incredibly damning that a) he never felt he had to and b) he was regularly platformed and enabled until it became 100% undeniable.

Had never seen this “Cal” bloke on here before (probably because I’m not a woman he was trying to scam nudes off and harass) but judging by my TL today what a fucking pest he was. 🤢

This is so strong and clear.
You can't help but notice that if this was in the UK context - you wouldn't be able to get a single one of these sentences out without a journalist barracking the person saying it constantly.
The UK media is in quite a state.
I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points.

Doctors hate it, the public hate it, and yet we’re stuck with it because of corporate lobbying and a completely bought and paid for neoliberal government.
I hate it here!
Palantir have paid huge sums to former Labour ministers to lobby for this.
The NHS sees no convincing patient benefit.
Like the US told Trump this week, we're done with big tech corporations taking over our democracy and public assets.
Labour won't stand up to them. We will.

Breast smothering. BBW facesitting. Even blow jobs.
These are among the sexual acts that may be prohibited on the internet under the UK's sweeping new porn restrictions, which take effect tomorrow.
For @WIRED, I spoke to adult creators and lawyers about the ban and its implications for free speech.

Says sitting MP of a party that demonised and locked up opponents of genocide. The gall.
When you vilify, smear and demonise good people who refuse to let your hate define them, other good people don't stand by.
They stand up and vote for hope over fear.
Congratulations @AbdulElSayed 🎉
