Oh god Frost has discovered Ayn Rand. A mediocrity explosion.

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

NYT confirming MS NOW reporting: Prosecutors began investigating Renee Good's killing, then Washington told them to stop. Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Good's vehicle, but Trump leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have since departed.

Reform: The Conservatives broke the country Also Reform: Welcome to another failed Conservative minister who broke the country

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Death toll in Afghanistan when NATO answered the US’s call: - 453 Britons - 158 Canadians - 89 French - 59 Germans - 53 Italians - 44 Danes - 17 Spaniards “Stayed a little back, off the front lines “! No one in the media will call him out over this lie or any of the others he spouts.

Never thought I'd say this, but sending all the love to Brooklyn Beckham Pelz this evening.

So, if you ever wondered why people who understand surveillance are salty about video cameras on doorbells... It's only a matter of time before they get co-opted into mass surveillance. And if the regime you live under changes that's you spying on your neighbours.

A heckler yelled “leave Greenland alone!” while Vanessa Williams sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” before tipoff of an NBA game in London between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Orlando Magic.

Deutsche Bank here with the good stuff. Game on.

I like to put cold callers at ease by saying "Berlin told me in 1974 that this number was safe. Your resourcefulness in finding it intrigues me. Speak".

Only the Supreme Court or Republicans in Congress can stop this insanity right now. Which pretty much means we’re fucked.

No "possible" about it. Religion used to justify harm to a child. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

According to my sources, the FBI was initially open to a concurrent investigation with the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (the state agency that would do this investigation). Trumpy U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen heard about this and intervened, barring the FBI from cooperating with local police.

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

The pardon for Hernandez makes an obvious & absolute mockery of each & every attempt to rationalise, or even justify, Trump's treatment of Maduro. I'm not sure this single, simple point can be stressed enough. Once again, he proves his critics right & reduces his supporters to epic moral corruption.

Elon Musk’s AI chatbot generates child sexual images! @libdems.org.uk when are you finally going to leave X? @victoria-collins.bsky.social I know you will be as disturbed by this as I am. Hope you can work towards a political and legal solution.

Maduro won't be worried. He'll just say he was screwing under age girls and get a pardon

Flash mob demo at the US Embassy anyone?

Remember today that it is not on you to be a source of energy or emotional regulation for others who refuse to do their own recovery work-- including (especially!) your parents.

It has been 395 days of continuous demonstrations in Georgia’s capital, Tbilisi. Our citizens demand the resignation of Georgia's mostly illegitimate and pro-Russian government, the release of political prisoners, and the return to a pro-European course.

I should be changing my bedding but I'm embracing the Christmas spirit by watching Despicable Me followed by How To Train One's Dragon whilst drinking cream soda and eating Lindt Lindor. 👀 🎄🎅🎉

Carol of the Bells in # Kyiv subway. Voices of the Embassies of Germany, France, and the United Kingdom came together to perform Shchedryk in the Kyiv metro as a sign of solidarity with Ukraine. Thankful to everyone who stands with us!

Pantone just updated their Color Of The Year

This is so fucked.

On stage at BBC #SPOTY right now you're average immigrant!

A white British father and son BOTH raped the same child and pled guilty to multiple counts of Sexual assault. This has been in the press for 2 days. The Mirror is the only National newspaper to report on it… And THAT’s why people have such a skewed perception of the links between race and SA🤷🏼‍♀️

Because of its proximity to Russia, Finland treats resistance to disinformation almost as a form of civil defence: an integral part of its broader security strategy. Should we all be doing the same?

The price of AI! "Effective 14 February 2025, the price for Microsoft 365 Personal subscriptions will increase from GBP 59.99* per year to GBP 84.99* per year" Time to find the cancel subscription option and make some changes to my OneDrive usage.

The joys of Christmas parcel delivery! One package sat at Melbourne airport since Tuesday waiting for a flight, another sat at my local Evri 😱 depot also since Tuesday waiting to get a van. We all know which will arrive first!

Thou shalt not bear false witness… Unless, apparently, you can get AI to do it for you.

The joys of AI! Customer service bot has told me they will do something that is against their normal policy. Because it's all in writing they will honour the bots commitment. 😂

X has changed their policy and now you can see where the accounts are based. Here’s an “influencer from Texas”

This is very concerning. In future the BBC should submit any proposals for the Reith Lectures to Karoline Leavitt at the White House so that President Trump can sign off on them. Maye Pete Hegseth next year?

There is no more beautiful an aircraft than the Catalina. ❤️ G-PBYA flying past my window at 1,100ft as part of #LadyMayorsShow

I know nothing about Dr Who, but, for Londoners, the phrase "Going For Dinner With Billie Piper" is the absolute best way to remember the order of the vertical streets running east to west in Soho (Greek, Frith, Dean, Wardour, Berwick, Poland) and has saved many a late night out

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Lord Dick Taverne. He will be greatly missed by all of us, and his colleagues in the House of Lords. His life and long record of public service stand as an inspiration and a reminder of politics at its best. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.
