For all the people claiming that the far-right violence occurring on UK streets at the moment is due to misinformation on Twitter about immigrants and Muslims, you're wrong. That's just the latest iteration of it.

There has been decades worth of misinformation spread by the right-wing media in this country. Decades worth. This is just a culmination of the bile that's been spread by the Murdochs, the Rothermeres, the Barclays and more for years and years and years.

An interesting new feature that I've only just noticed has been added to nostr:npub1svs3dzxhfc3mtdr7a59jsj48wdg0f0fgy0au2yataxu6vza6n8userp66u:

Adding an image from your Photos library to which you have already added a Caption (in Photos) automatically adds that caption as your image description/alt-text in Mona.

The video shows this in action (nb the centre bit where I locate the photo has been edited to remove personal content).

In the sense that he was barely portrayed at all? I personally didn't much like how any characters were portrayed and I find it quite telling that Lynch's version managed to squeeze in fully-formed characters for most people in a fraction of the time (exceptions being Chani - but she's paper thin in the book too, and Alia who was a victim of the overly rushed second half of Lynch's film).

And would you be surprised to find out that it is white supremacy?
