On one street, hundreds of masked men carrying bottles and bricks set bins on fire and shouted "foreigners out", our reporter says.
i really don't have the words for how things have escalated to outright race riots in the last few weeks. just to collect a few of the stories the bbc is reporting in their live thread:
Families led to safety through flames (Dan Johnson) Homes were targeted and burned. Families had to be led to safety through the flames - rescued by emergency services risking their lives in the most dangerous situation. It’s what the authorities feared all day. What they warned against and pleaded not to see. The condemnation came quickly and was widespread. It wasn’t just homes, cars were also torched by young masked man in these predominantly unionist streets but the target here was immigrants and the message to entirely innocent families was: "You’re not welcome". In the north of the city, more people were forced to flee including an African family who’ve lived here for 20 years.
People being put out 'because they're black' - pastor A pastor who has been helping those in houses targeted in tonight's violence says people were being put out of their homes "because they're black". Pastor Jack McKee was at the scene where multiple houses were on fire around the Crumlin Road in north Belfast - he says some members of his church "who have been with us for 20 years" were "getting put out of their home, had their house attacked, windows smashed, houses beside them burned". "They're good Christian people and they're getting put out just because they're black," he says. "I'm doing my best to help them, it's as simple as that." [...]
Masked men shouting 'foreigners out' (Kelly Bonner) Last night on the Lower Newtownards Road in Belfast hundreds of masked men walked down the street carrying bottles, bricks and masonry. They set bins on fire and shouted "foreigners out". As they walked street to street, they were banging on doors, kicking doors down and breaking windows. Masked man set cars alight and at one point I witnessed them trying to burn a car until a woman came out of her home and told them it belonged to a "local and not a foreigner" and they stopped. A young family had to be moved from their home by police. The scenes of this young family fleeing their home were really quite shocking.
We're seeing a 'race-based pogrom' in Belfast, MP tells BBC Claire Hanna, Belfast MP and leader of the Social Democratic & Labour Party, has spoken to Newsnight about the "nightmarish" attack on Monday, which she says has "understandably revulsed and shocked" people in Belfast. However, she condemned the scenes that erupted on Tuesday afternoon, suggesting that "negative actors online and politicians locally who don't really care what communities in north Belfast have been through" have used the knife attack to incite violence and seed division. "What you're seeing is a race-based pogrom. We are seeing men going door to door asking to get the foreigners out based exclusively on the colour of their skin," she has said. "It's not based on what they're contributing to society, what their status here is and it's terrifying for people in Belfast who want this sort of politics to be far beyond them."
After reading the quoted portion above and seeing how racist the comments from claire hanna were (playing into the racist idea that immigrants somehow take from countries they move to while attempting to cover her own ass by condmening the violence even though she's agreeing with the racist rhetoric that incited it) to see if that sentiment was alone in the article. It was not, while i did not read every single update, every quote i read from multiple political parties echoed the same racist information that 'people shouldnt be doing this, but they only are because theyre (rightfully) concerned about immigrants'. At most there were those that condemned vigilante action, but the continued racist retoric parroted by these politicians makes clear the source of the problem is at the top.
oh absolutely. this is a massive problem across all of uk politics at the moment - no political party is really willing to say that "no, immigrants are people just like us and should be welcome here". the political consensus has very much accepted that immigration is a threat and a danger, despite how utterly bullshit that actually is.
the bbc has played a major role in that through basically posing reform (far right party) as the opposition to our labour govt (which is so anti-immigration it's willing to destroy universities over it), even though the marginally better liberal democrat and green parties have more seats in parliament and local councils.
but, despite labour pushing back very well against the first set of race riots (and i fucking hate that i can say the first as there's been multiple) during their tenure, they've since wholeheartedly come on side with the far right over flag waving as patriotic (despite it clearly being used as a racist dogwhistle to anyone with half a brain) and that immigration is evil and dangerous. there's no desire to create their own narratives in the media at all, they're just reactively following whatever reform and the bbc (which had its most important jobs given to conservatives during the 14 years they were in power and is thus very eager to platform the far right) say is the narrative.

louis' alias over one shoulder, the dracula's daughter logo that cleverly contains louis' initials hidden within over the other, and lestat has absolutely no idea because he and louis haven't spoken in years... 10/10 no notes i love the loustat show.
Lestat disrespecting pronouns makes complete sense. Lestat is a misogynist and has a billion layers of internalized racism. His scope of empathy is confined to his own identity. He will challenge homophobia and any criticisms against his identity and choices but he won't do the same for others.
Like we saw that man dismiss Louis' very valid anger at the white businessmen in Storyville. He didn't lift a finger to actually help in a meaningful way, and when Louis killed Fenwick(?), his reaction wasn't to reflect on why Louis chose him of all people to kill. He thought Louis had gotten around to killing, which is blatantly not the case. Lestat did exactly what he did with Louis; say surface level things and commentary while not behaving any differently. That is literally the root cause for why his relationship with Louis fractured.
He loves Claudia but it's the same with her too, he never saw how her race and her previous experiences as a human impacted her ability to trust and function in the world. I know the whole train interaction is being challenged as a complete lie, but something Lestat did made Claudia feel like he saw her sexual assault as trivial.
Lestat in pop culture is a queer icon, a symbol due to how much he deviated from that time's norms. But in-story he was still rather, I don't wanna say conservative but, more conforming than you'd think.

found a more reliable source than the bbc
Ministers have blamed far-right online agitators for stoking racial tension following a stabbing.
really weird seeing Irish people wearing shit like 'britain first' with a union flag on it.
violence from asylum seekers could be a real problem, especially if people are escaping violent situations; though no moreso an issue than home grown violence. the answer to this is not to jail people after an incident and demand to know their immigration status; it's to preempt and provide counselling, treat ptsd, arrange integration and language classes (although i will say i dont strictly think full integration is necessary, im just talking about things that we take for granted as everyday life that may be confusing to someone not from the uk).
instead of just dumping asylum seekers in the cheapest council housing and leaving them to fend for themselves, how about we make an effort to actually welcome people and focus on their opportunities to make a life and home for themselves in the uk.
i wouldn't actually call al jazeera a more reliable source, not least because they don't touch the massive underlying factor that is the unionist/loyalist vs nationalist divide in northern ireland. you can't talk about race riots in northern ireland without addressing that divide, the fact that we still have active paramilitaries from both sides running about, and the fact that the british government does fuck all about that fact.
i gave a fuller explanation of that context in this post (which includes some excellent sources from the financial times explaining the broader context) - while the riot in southampton and social media is a contributing factor, social media contributed a whole lot less than it did in southampton compared to the very active paramilitary scene that loves to be violent bigots.

#as soon as I saw that knife attack was by an immigrant the writing was on the wall #can people ever be fucking normal. burning houses down. cunts #hope no one was hurt #shameful 2 see such bullshit from Irish people
completely agree with your thoughts here, but there's an important part you're missing - these attacks were largely in loyalist (i.e. people who very strongly reject calling themselves irish and are largely descended from scottish settlers funded by the british crown in the 1600s) areas. in 1969, loyalists similarly carried out pogroms against the irish catholic community in northern ireland because they opposed the catholic civil rights movement, which aimed to end de facto segregation and discrimination in northern ireland.
if you read coverage of the race riots, then you'll quickly notice that it's loyalist politicians defending these racist bigots. this isn't to say that there are no far right racist nationalists (i.e. people in ni who identify as irish and want to join the republic of ireland). there absolutely are, and the current wave of populist racism has shown a merging of extremist nationalist and loyalist groups into more 'conventional' far right groups that you would see elsewhere in the uk and europe.
i'm saying all of this because this is mainly coming from a community where they have a history of racist and murderous pogroms, not unlike white southerners in the usa. irish people aren't innocent either (and there's a great deal of denial over irish complicity and involvement in the british empire, let alone the slave trade) but it's important to make it clear that, this time, these riots happened overwhelmingly in loyalist areas.

the bbc news tv report on this last night was fully sympathetic to the rioters as well like they had a whole bit about "the people ive talked to say theyre not racist theyre just concerned about cultural changes"
the bbc is wholly complicit in how it's actively advocated for the far right and legitimised their "concerns" over the last fifteen years. nigel farage, reform uk, and jacob rees moggs all owe a great deal of their careers to the bbc's willingness to promote them and, under the current govt, the bbc has graduated to treating reform as the de facto opposition - despite the greens and lib dems having far more seats than them both nationally and locally.

update from today's developer livestream - ptc for chapter 4 is expected late june (or early july), but will be consistently updated between then and 22nd september when it comes out.
most of the content will be in for the first ptc release but, due to summer holidays in norway, they'll be focusing on stabilising the ptc but not adding a ton of new stuff between then and 22nd september.
landsraad missions: the content team is working on "more interesting ways to build missions in the game", which will also hopefully help adjust each specialisation for different playstyles.
also, we got our first look at the polar caps, which will be "a new survival experience" and features a standalone storyline separate from the main story. the survival loop in the polar caps will be very different to the rest of the game. note that the polar caps aren't coming on 22nd september, but in a free update later this year after that.
they also ran through console single-player mode and all its difficulty settings, for those who are curious to check that out, but that was a pretty lengthy section so i'll leave it to people to check out the VOD to see it.
Lestat's recollection of Detroit is honestly so fucking funny and definitely inaccurate at some parts
he's like "first, i took a piss in these eco-friendly urinals. yes, this is VERY IMPORTANT!"
"then a nonbinary vampire and her- i mean their- friend ALSO took huge pisses! she- i mean they- pissed hands-free with their incredibly strong pelvic floor muscles. yes, the vampire lestat respects pronouns, write that down."
"i always wash my hands after using the bathroom. even when i'm fucked up on LSD and ecstasy! even if the other people at the urinal didn't wash their hands! yes Daniel, this is VERY important to write down!"
"and then we had elevator sex so hot that the bellboy joined in!"
"i would have EASILY beat the Fang Gang normally, but you see, i did too many drugs and fucked too hard. it was the sex legs, i swear!"
