He's white and rightwing so here come the sympathetic stories about him being bullied in school

The gunman who allegedly tried to assassinate former President Donald Trump was bullied in high school and didn’t fit in with other students, former classmates told CNN. Here's what we know so far.

If someone told you, "Many of America's top reporters spend a lot of their day in a chat room run by a 'great replacement' believing white supremacist and where many posters are Nazis" you'd be alarmed. That's basically the situation now.

I’ve said this a million times, but I’m genuinely frightened about what Musk’s fascist propaganda network is doing to do to our politics. I really wish someone, anyone, would come up with a collective strategy to get journalists, organizers and elected officials off the platform.

A reminder of how Trump responded when a supporter broke into Nancy Pelosi's home and brutally attacked her husband with a hammer:

#UncoolTwo50 #ALT50 "DAY 5" 1979 SQUEEZE 'UP THE JUNCTION' UK UK #2 'And now she's two years older..." As we all are since #Uncool50, but I'm still puzzled by how this missed the Top 500. No chorus, a load of half-rhymes *and* a story. No wonder I love it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQci...

#UncoolTwo50 #ALT50 "DAY 4" 1978 FUNKADELIC 'ONE NATION UNDER A GROOVE' USA UK #9, US #28 I suspect that, to get Parliament-Funkadelic a place in the 1,000, it'll have to be this or 'Flash Light'. (Knee Deep might contribute to TWO split votes... 😀) www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WOZ...

#UncoolTwo50 #ALT50 "DAY 3" 1978 THE JAM 'DOWN IN THE TUBE STATION AT MIDNIGHT' UK UK #15 "too many right-wing meetings" My favourite Jam single and probably my favourite thing Paul Weller ever did. it is very hard to do 'story' singles as evocatively as this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4oi...

#UncoolTwo50 #ALT50 "DAY 2" 1977 ELVIS COSTELLO 'WATCHING THE DETECTIVES' UK UK #15 "She's filing her nails while they're dragging the lake" This remarkable piece of work didn't do well enough for my liking in either #Uncool50 or the 1977 Peoples Pop Poll. www.youtube.com/watch?v=snPD...

#UncoolTwo50 #ALT50 "DAY 1" 1977 THE EMOTIONS 'BEST OF MY LOVE' USA US #1, UK #4 "Owww!' Longlisted, along with 'Boogie Wonderland' of course. A victim of me being careful not to overdo the 70s, sticking to eight absolute essentials only. Pure disco euphoria. www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-Tb...

#UncoolTwo50 Hey there. After finishing my last 25 cuts, I'm now going to present an #Alt50 over the next 10 days. The rules: - No artists from the final 50 or last 25 cuts - No duplicate artists within the #Alt50 - At least two per year (four years have three: one 70s, one 80s, two 90s)

#UncoolTwo50 #Unlucky25 Last 3 tonight. 23. 'The Private Psychedelic Reel' by The Chemical Brothers - Last survivor of 97 - Always my favourite Chem Bros and eligible as a limited edition single - But still felt like an indulgence, and more of an album closer www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqGz...

It's incredibly sad that we've all lost out on such a vital and effective self-promo tool, but simultaneously, it's validating to know that, no, it's not just me. Twitter/X is utterly useless, now. Broken beyond repair. boringstorybook.com/break-up-wit...

the editor of the New York Times reacting to a potential Trump second term with “fasten your seatbelts” is so deeply vile i can’t wrap my mind around it. these people have detached themselves so completely from the things they cover that the rise of fascism becomes just something exciting to watch

I'm no ivy league fail upward brunchlord news professional, but I feel it's generous to call conspiratorial fascism (managed by a sociopathic manbaby with a fourth grade reading level) "disruptive" that's kind of like saying nuclear annihilation is "modifying"

#UncoolTwo50 #Unlucky25 11. 'The Name Of The Game' by ABBA - Two ABBA singles are definitely in - They were the last artist to to lose their third - I was very disappointed a) that this wasn't in ABBA Voyage and b) that it finished outside the 😬BBC Radio 2 top ten www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJ90...

I didn't plan this in advance, did I...? Happy 70th Birthday to Neil Tennant, obviously.

#UncoolTwo50 And here's a third artist that isn't having a third: 3. 'Being Boring' by Pet Shop Boys - As with Prince/Kate, two in anyway - Another one I'm confident will do well enough - In all honesty, too painful to pick and write about for this www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnvF...
