Politics & activism — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 11 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 97% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.

48 posts held, back to 18 July 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 28 pages of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 48 posts for this entry, the most recent from 27 August 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
534 reactions across 44 posts, in 13 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 55.4% of them.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 47 of the 48 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 551 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 48 most recent posts we hold, published 18 July 2026 to 27 August 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
Is AI Fear Porn Prepping us for a Major Psy-Op? And so we’re back in the world of scary AI. I know, I said I wasn’t going to write about this anymore – and, I know, I have a series on water bankruptcy to continue – but they just won’t let it go, so neither can I. Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in. In my last piece on this topic I described the rogue AI thus… “Rogue AIs” have become the lab leak …

why do we have apparently amplified 'anti-vax' social media accounts also promoting lab leak and GoF nonsense? Is this an attempt at conflation? To corral people who want to see justice for the vax-damaged into also accepting 'covid' was real and not a cynical, genocidal lie?

OffG’s Lab Leak “I Told You So” Back in January, as part of our “predicting 2025” series, I wrote that 2025 would be the year of the Lab Leak reveal, and that the lab leak theory (LLT) would be “quasi-officially true” by the end of the year: Lab leak theory has already come a long way from barely even a fringe idea to an acceptable alternative, but in 2025 we expect it to take the final step, becoming the majority …

The attempts to rewrite covid history may be hitting a new low… Following arecent exchange on X with an entity calling itself ‘Faceless’ we’re becoming aware of what seems to be yet another new move to rewrite covid history – this time by conflating the very legitimate safety questions surrounding the untested and unnecessary ‘vaccines’ , which may well be killing thousands right now, with utterly baseless claims …

WATCH: Food Not Bombs & the Struggle Against War & Dystopia Keith McHenry, co-founder of the Food Not Bombs movement, discusses his family’s deep American roots and how despite a lineage connected to the founding of the country which also participated in parapolitical events, McHenry took a radical departure toward anarchism and social activism. He describes the evolution of his organization, which provides free me…

The Tale of Two Greedy Landlords Once upon a time in a land far away and in a time of plenty there were two rich and prosperous Landlords who each owned large and spacious adjoining buildings wherein many people lived. The apartments were warm and comfortable and every week there was a market where grain was brought from Landlord B’s land and fruit and meat and vegetables from Landlord A’s. While wood from Landlord…

The Benefit of Not Reading “For my sister Rita, an artist who didn’t imitate and who died on this day long ago, trying.” It is a commonplace that a steady diet of the mass media can rot the brain and so fill one’s mind with nonsense that a creative thought becomes impossible. The Internet, television, film, and miniseries addictions are widespread and keep electronic minds flashing in and out and everywhere so as t…

Top-Down Solutions Don’t Work Let me first explain what I mean by “top-down and bottom-up.” I use this phrase often in my psychotherapy work. I believe most therapy is designed to be top-down. This is where symptoms are treated, but not the cause of the symptoms. The first culprit on this list is typical psychiatry, where a 15-minute assessment determines a diagnosis, and a diagnosis determines medication protocol.…

Let’s talk about…the surge in food warnings and recalls Earlier today, NBC News reported “at least 55 people” had fallen ill after eating contaminated alfalfa sprouts across 15 US states. This is just the latest one of these. It started last month, when a Cyclospora outbreak causing explosive diarrhoea sickened thousands across 41 states – this was linked to lettuce, oregano and other fresh produce. Those cases ar…

Showing the 12 most recent of 48 posts we hold for @offguardian. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Republished by
Channels on the register that have forwarded this channel's posts into their own feed.
Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
Named by 1 registered channel — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
The reverse of the list above, and a different kind of signal. This does not require this channel to have ever been asked about directly — each row below is a channel we DID ask Telegram about, whose Telegram-generated list happened to include this one. A channel can appear here with an empty list above it, because being named by someone else’s query is independent of having been queried itself.
This channel appears in 14 seed channels' Telegram-generated recommendation lists in total. Each is Telegram’s list for THAT channel, not this one — see how this is measured.
