Even wars have rules - Israel now stands accused of the gravest of war crimes ..by BBC’s Middle East Editor Jeremy Bowen www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

Fourteen schools in Bristol voted on how to spend £5m. The options were: 1) Spread cash based on the number of pupils each school has. 2) Maximise money for disadvantaged children. The only three schools to vote against option two were faith schools. www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol...

The next four years is just going to be a long series of people confidently telling you that you didn't just see what you just saw

I guess I'd just ask why you're a crypto fan when it's literally just "use all the electricity in the world to make ... nothing." Don't bother explaining though, I don't believe there's an answer I'd listen to. It's not just dumb, it's planetary suicide. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is a new phase - it’s like when cigarette manufacturers pretended to start owning up to lung cancer & heart disease, but did (and still do) nothing to stop it. It’s like pretending columnists with an opinion are on par with scientists. It’s like …. Etc etc etc

How did climate change fuel wildfires? Wet-to-dry whiplash. In Pasadena, 20 of the rainiest days since 1893 occurred after 2000. One was last Feb. Yet there hasn’t been a drop in eight months, with heat waves in between. Vegetation grew, then dried, then burned: capitalandmain.com/how-climate-...

UBI and housing for everyone. Setting aside that it's the right thing to do...it's also cheaper.

Really don’t want to be the guy who claims football was better in the old days (the 90s, specifically) but there is a mania that has taken over many modern fans - in large part, I believe, because of the bantz-toxicity of social media - that makes me pine for the old days. youtu.be/lfd8pjEGxOc?...

Nigel Farage, sitting with Reform UK MP James McMurdock who was jailed for attacking his girlfriend, says assaults on young women are out of control.

My message to Zuck

Meta is pure evil and deserves to be wiped off the face of the planet. They removed all restrictions on content targeting protected characteristics i.e. hate speech. Anyone working there is complicit. You are enabling this. You will have blood on your hands. www.wired.com/story/meta-i...

One of instagators of the far right riots has just been sentenced to 7 1/2 years in prison Thanks go to @hopenothate.org.uk 🙏🏼

Andrew McIntyre was a key instigator of the shocking scenes of rioting we saw in Southport & Liverpool, as well as encouraging racist violence around the country. Today he has been jailed for 7.5 years. Well done to @hopenothate.org.uk. www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

I just found out that one of my favourite delivery drivers, who is friendly, polite and chatty when he delivers my food, is a dickhead who watches videos loudly on his phone while he waits in the restaurant. Doing my best to manifest a new type of cancer for this level of deception.

Musk spent nearly $300 million to elect a president with a virulently anti-immigrant agenda and now is telling Trump’s anti-immigrant supporters to “FUCK YOURSELF in the face” Unclear who Musk thought was voting for the guy who blamed immigrants for all of America’s economic problems

It’s not only hilarious that anti-immigrant magas are fighting Musk and Swampy about H1B visas, but the vast majority of maga voters have no idea what the hell an H1B visa even is. Thoughts and prayers to the tech bros as maga gives them the CRT treatment! 🤣🤣🤣

Conservatives are finding out in real time that Elon Musk was always lying about "free speech" on Twitter 🐆

Trans folks held a dance party in the Capitol bathroom to protest the bathroom ban on there.

I’ve been in Brooklyn ten minutes

TODAY’S EPISODE OF: WE F*CKING WARNED YOU Pittsburgh steelworkers who supported Trump aren’t happy that he’s opposing the US Steel-Nippon deal. “I am very frustrated with the news that came out last night…that was like a gut punch.” — United Steelworkers VP Jason Zugai

So a reminder: It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom. It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president. It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child. For the record.

"We cannot continue to participate in the social network feed of a man who proclaims the death of the media and therefore of journalists... X is a platform that no longer serves the public interest at all, but the special ideological and financial interests of its owner and his political allies"

Not a drag queen. Not a trans person trying to use the bathroom.

The European Federation of Journalists (EFJ) has decided it will no longer post content on Elon Musk’s social media platform, X, from 20 January 2025, when Donald Trump will officially become the 47th President of the United States europeanjournalists.org/blog/2024/11...

the fact that we can do this from EARTH when voyager 1 is 15 BILLION miles away is INSANE.

Why are Guardian and Observer journalists going on strike for four days in December over the deal to offload the Observer onto a failing digital startup? Five reasons here. Please repost 🙏

A few months before #ge24, when he knew this was coming, McGregor decided to take a turn at spewing right wing bile. He did it, like others with "allegations" have, because they know the right wing always protect rapists and pedos. Worth reminding them when they claim to "protect women & kids".

The woman who accused Conor McGregor and his friend of rape moved this year after her property was invaded by a group of men wearing balaclavas who stabbed her partner and broke her windows, it can now be reported

Scumbag. I’m sure the rabble who pretend to care about the safety of women as an excuse to demonise immigrants and ethnic minorities will be up in arms about his guilty verdict

now that’s a front page

Speaking to reporters outside the High Court, Nikita Hand said the weeks of her civil case against Conor McGregor have been a “nightmare”, but she feels vindicated by the outcome. jrnl.ie/6550805

Big thanks to the hard working people putting together lists on here so we can mass block all the racists, transphobes and general women haters. 👍❤️

And there you have it. Nancy Mace comes out and says, "It's offensive that a man in a skirt thinks that he's my equal" That is what is driving them so mad. That a transgender person, duly elected to represent 1,000,000 people, could ever be her equal.

all she did was exist

The anti-trans obsessives cannot fathom that a trans woman be viewed as their equal, let alone that we'd elected to public office or work the same job as them. And no amount of capitulation will sate their rage. That is why it's imperative that we resist their efforts at each and every turn.

The 'farmers' protest is a good time to remind people of the Just Stop Oil protestors who got 21 years, just for planning a protest. Two tier justice indeed.

These comments from Norma Foley at the INTO’s education debate are beginning to cause a stir in teacher circles. Is the abject shortage of teachers - where it’s almost impossible to get a substitute teacher - a ‘crisis’? The minister would prefer to label it an “opportunity”…
