This article nails it completely and should also represent the path forward for Labour in the UK. The PPE scandal is a great place to start and Farage’s endless side-hustles should be called out for what they are: bribes. data4democracy.substack.com/p/the-democr...

Insane that UK Business Secretary Peter Kyle claims that a far-right rally organised by the founder of a violent fascist gang symbolises “free speech is alive and well” when he’s part of a government that arrested hundreds of people as terrorists for writing two words onto pieces of paper.

I personally confirmed every single citation in @sarahkendzior.bsky.social's Hiding In Plain Sight while making this website, to confirm her retelling of Trump's history was accurate and reported. It will be one of the first books banned by Congress once we get to that point. Buy it NOW.

Trump rants that Obama staged a coup. Wrong person. Wrong timeline. The person staging a coup right now is Vance. We are watching him, with help from Murdoch and others, use the Epstein thing to get Trump out so he can claim to be “clean” while holding on to the whole Project2025 agenda.

The only way to find a set of idioms more hackneyed, clichéd and devoid of meaning than "woke" and "virtue signalling" would be to open up a book of Oasis lyrics.

You win. Against, I have to say, a pretty strong field. Funniest shit on Bluesky in a long time.

First rate snark in this Guardian article calling out despicable murderer Netanyahu comparing the postponement of his son’s wedding to the suffering of the 43,000 people killed in the Blitz. (Though to be fair it’s the *second* postponement so I see his point) www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

You thought cyberpunk was going to be mirrorshades and wireblades? It’s a guy in Bangalore with eight open chat windows pretending to be a 20 year old American woman and using jailbroken AI to come up with sex talk.

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t. Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8wM...

What is IdeaSquare? "I have spent the last interning the CERN community to discover what IdeaSquare is and how IdeaSquare was used!" - Phatcharida Katajainen

This talk (or the transcript at least) is excellent and also inspiring. The author appears to be GenX-ish but I feel like their message will resonate with the GenZ crew who strike me as a quirky and creative bunch. If we can get them to be creative on personal websites instead of platforms we win.

Are Muslims really banning dogs in parks? 🤔 Let’s look at this perfect example of how rage baiting works, and how disinformation spreads, sticks, and fuels division, even years after being debunked… 🧵1/22 (1/1)

Simon Kuper explodes Musk’s self-serving bullshit about public sector workers and explains the risks of firing those who have the deepest knowledge and greatest commitment to the services they provide: Doge’s ‘villain’ fantasy is wrong about public service on.ft.com/4isAhMz

Musk perpetuates the Thatcherite myth that public sector workers are all lazy cynics, pretending to work while collecting cushy salaries. In truth they’re often so committed & passionate about their work that they endure grim conditions and curtailed budgets because they believe in a better society

Really excellent thread here on how badly Democrats miss an open goal on comms through fear of being labelled socialist. Pisses me off to see the same in UK Labour Party. There has never been a clearer appetite for socialist policies than right now and parties are too scared to make the case.

In what possible world is this acceptable? “Trump accounts withdrew $350mn from the main liquidity pool within 18 days of launch” on.ft.com/3XxJfzH

"Ukraine, Spain stands with you." - Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez expresses his support and solidarity with Ukraine following the recent clash between Trump, Vance, and Zelensky.

I see the irony in reposting.... but still

Video games are the perfect analogy for rich white dudes who think they achieved something extraordinary, when in reality people carefully built the entire system so that your journey could be an achievable fun lightly challenging romp.

What's really needed is a national strike! #NationalStrike
