This is the sort of journalism we’ve been crying out for for months, and here it is, tucked way down on the homepage and will likely be gone in a few hours

Inequality is dehumanising for the rich too. Extreme wealth wrentches them so far out of communities, away from the needs, desires, cultures and opinions of their fellow human being that they have no checks or balances on their warped views: only yesmen who create positive feedback loops of hate.

Until we have the 2 PRs - proportional representation and press reform - we are destined to lurch rightwards everytime there's a remotely 'centrist' government in place.

who needs your party when you got this guy now

The truth: we need migration. The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it. Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality. Reject it. Draw the line.

Steven Miller's 'speech' at the Charlie Kirk thing was straight out of a Nazi rally. Like, not even Nazi-light, full-throated Hitler rhetoric. Dark times, people, very dark times indeed.

Socialism for the rich

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR. This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

My husband has indefinite leave to remain. It took us 6 years and £16,000 in visa, NHS, and lawyer fees for him to get it. Now we risk him losing his right to live in Scotland. This is terrifying for us & thousands of families. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

The people that Farage plans to 'kick out' include doctors, nurses, care workers & people essential to the UK economy. To avoid legal challenges he will also have to leave the ECHR, revoke the EU Withdrawal Agreement & suspend judicial review indefinitely. A fundamental assault on law & human rights

Remember that bit in LOTR, when the Ents discuss what to do about the rampant evil of Saruman after speaking Merry and Pippen? After AGES, they turn around to an impatient Pippen and say “well we’ve decided you’re not orks”. In unrelated news, Starmer finally recognises Palestinian statehood.

Mr Milchick needs his own show. Half it just him dancing. He gets done totally too dirty at the end of season 2 of Severance for my liking

Rewatched the Predator Badlands trailer with all the species from Alien Earth in mind, and it certainly ups the ante....

An actual quote from the Secretary of State for Business and Trade Too often people go to university to ‘explore research and knowledge’ Look forward to Wes S saying 'too often people go to hospital to have operations' or Heidi Alexander saying 'too often people go to the station to catch a train'

Trump has gone home but Britain’s problems will remain. Starmer’s invitation was a big mistake | Frances Ryan

Look at this sick, dangerous radical left antifa agitator

After a couple of episodes of promise, Alien Earth goes back to being a total mess with laughable CGI and nonsensical action set pieces. It was like Jurassic Park but with a more blood and more annoying kids

“Hey guys, chill. Just ride it out. The fascists won’t last that long anyway” is a pretty shitty way of showing your privilege

Great start lads, great start www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

In the US (maybe elsewhere too?) www.bookshop.org enables online ordering thru local indy bookstores

Pre-order my new book Postcapitalist Cities if you like. Or just wait till it's out and steal a copy. Whatever you do, DO NOT use Amazon, please (I would say get a copy from the library, but not sure they'll exist by the time this comes out)

Did I dream a tweet by Jacob Rees-Mogg that intimated Trump could run for office here in the UK? I get that's he's probably trolling us, but this is how Trump works: memes get turned into actuality. The only saving grace is that Trump is unlikely to survive till our next elections...

This is my latest post btw: how fossilised octogenarian tyrants, wedded as they are to an extractive fossil fuel capitalism are going to be undone by the unstoppable tide of renewable energy and their democratic availability....

Some killings you're allowed to joke about.

Simply astonishing. Maybe Lecturer A should not have to mark over 100 essays in a two-week window in the first place? Invest in qualified staff and reduce impossible workloads FFS www.kcl.ac.uk/about/strate...

The massive assumption here is that it’s still the same game now. It’s not.

We’ve heard all this before….

This is actually quite good. Multiculturalism is so often boiled down to a policy buzzword, but this articulates brilliantly what it actually means to be a multicultural city.

"Like the sedimentation of dead organisms that create the black gold they so crave, [tyrants] lives are a sedimentation of dead ideologies layered over time by the continual immersion in networks of hate, greed, ego, deference and lobbying politics."

This is a very powerful way to show it tbf

here’s the deal - AI doesn’t have to “work” (as in, be accurate) for its use in targeting people’s right to remain in this country. it just has to fuck with the lives of enough people to make everyone think “it could be me next.” and that’s what they like! www.liberalcurrents.com/deflating-hy...

Big "Ummmmm I'm telling!" playground vibes from the toddler-in-chief

Starmer has always been better in opposition than when leading. Now that it *feels* like he’s opposition again maybe that’s the trick to keep him saying the right thing?

Three Days of Condor still a masterpiece. RIP Rob

How do we fix this mess?

I wondered for a while why I wasn't seeing any Hillary Shaw emails in my crit-geog-forum feed, and now I know: my email filter automatically added it to the spam list! This is the ONLY good example of AI use.

FOR WEDNESDAY: Here is the route of the march against Trump & the far right GATHER: 2pm Portland Place (BBC) MARCH: at 3pm RALLY: 5pm at Parliament Square!!

Not to get all 'I told you so, but I said this last week www.tiktok.com/@olimould/vi...

The 'save our women and girls' monkier from the TR rally over the weekend makes more sense when viewed through the lens of the cosmic right. It's less a 'cover' for their racist tendencies (although that's clearly present), and more a David Icke-style belief in a kid-hunting global conspiracy.

I'm very confused at people (who I respect and thought would be to tell the difference) defending Kirk because he was open to debate and encouraged dialogue. No he didn't, he engaged in stochastic terrorism, and did it very, very well.

Pivoted so hard they affected the earth's rotation

lol fuck you

The BBC's continual coverage of Charlie Kirk and the manhunt is odd given he was a relatively fringe figure on these shores. I appreciate the US is going nuts, but this doesn't feel like our national broadcaster should be giving it around the clock coverage.

The last time I went on twitter I saw a guy saying that all minorities deserve to be gassed so that "the majority can live in peace" so

If Mandelson is sacked for his friendship with Epstein... Then why is Trump still invited on a state visit & banquet when he had the exact same ties to Epstein...? 🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐 What are the chances that our PM grows a spine & pulls the plug on the whole circus?!

- you clean up that banksy? - sure did, your honour, leaving a perfect, permanent outline, imbuing the work with real fuckin gravitas while making its point better than the artist did himself just like you asked
