How every journalist with integrity should question Israeli and US spokespeople and challenge propaganda. “Your prime minister is a wanted war criminal. You don't have the moral high ground here at all.” "What about the 100 or so girls in Iran who have been killed in a strike?"

The small, brave band of MPs who represent the trampled, not the tramplers, has a very welcome new member. We should all ask ourselves why, in a supposed democracy, such representatives are so rare. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

If AI can do your schoolwork, you've been set the wrong schoolwork.

Attaching a wooden nose that grows when you lie - brilliant idea. Fit one to trump and it would be such a massive carbon sink it'd solve global warming.

Also the huge class correspondences of the word - a lot of creative working class people have roles that are labelled technical or crafts - middle- / upper-class people commandeer the word "creative" as a noun to label their role.

If you see this post a character that starts with the letter D

A) can’t wait for this movie bc long live Gorillaz and B) the smarmy way the radio host is like “oh so you’ve NEVER used AI??” And Jamie and Damon both laughing and being like “lmao no” is the energy we should all have for these losers x: www.instagram.com/reel/DVC1lAs...

It's good to read that Margot Kidder is doing well - and no diss intended to her - but the "original" Lois Lane? How poorly do these journos do their research? Or evem just pay attention to the world around them? www.msn.com/en-gb/entert... The Noel Neill side-eye is very appropriate here.

"It's in god's hands" www.the-independent.com/news/health/... No no no you stupid fuck. There is no god. It was in your hands and you fucked it up. This is the face of evil of 2026. How the hell do we stop this?

Notions.

Can't. My mind is going. I can feel it I can feel it.

It's disappointing (and dangerous) that this is an opt-in process rather than opt-out. Default should be that children get vaccinated _unless_ parents object. Some won't be bothered, and if the child is pro-vaccine and the parents aren't, they can just not tell them www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

What? Trimpe is TWO syllables? Buscema starts with a byoo? Moench has a silent "o"? This is like 50 years of sounding these wrong in my head to fix.

Remember the couple from Yorkshire? They are here again.

“We Thought Someone Else Would Stop Him” Holocaust survivors were asked the same question for decades. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Uh if you're not listening to Jan Travell on ttns.uk RIGHT NOW, you are missing out, drum and bass, techno, jungle with a very avant garde twist.

A Minneapolis knitting shop has resurrected the design of a Norwegian cap worn to protest Nazi occupation. Its owner says the money raised from hat pattern sales will support the local immigrant community. n.pr/4thWiUr

Watching her immediately pull that fist back and start moving towards the guy is exactly what I needed to see. They want us to be afraid.

It’s time to abolish tuition fees and cancel student debt. Education is a public good, not a commodity.

Bought two pages off ebay a few months back, clipped from Sounds 9th, June 1979. Hawkwind Rock Family Tree by Pete Frame. Just framed them to go on the wall in what was a utility room for the cats litter (now post-cats will be a reading nook). They look the biz.

I've seen both of these movies many times and never spotted this :-o

Remember kids, if you have one copy you have zero copies, if you have two copies you have one copy

Link to my show on ttns.uk last Thursday timbre-player.sharp-stream.com/embed/item/0... (skip the first four minutes as it's on a holding pattern due to tech issues)

if you believe that ancient/nonwhite people couldn’t do impressive collective feats without aliens you are well on your way to being fash. I truly believe this.

Let us all have the courage displayed by the residents of Minneapolis.

If he gets Banjo Beale to do the interior design then ... to be honest ... I'd be totally up for watching it.

I have both the TOS deck and the TAS deck - brilliant concept and so well executed. TNG deck will be worth checking out, but ... i am so impatient for the DS9 deck. <3 #Tarot

I have got a new pair of sunglasses and I look the "biz".

More and more often i assume these are news items written by @theonion.com until i check the byline.

Also should add, I never come out well from the spiritual audit.

A colleague just sent me this link that I wasn't previously aware of - thought I'd share as navigating this isn't that easy even for seasoned old academics like me! www.predatoryjournals.org/the-list/pub... #research #HigherEducation #publishing

Just setting up a rule on my email account to quarantine any email that includes the phrase "thought leader".

Yeah Palantir can get in the sea. (I'd suggest the Icebay of Forochel).

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this: America's problems are solved problems. Just not here. What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

On this MA we're studying the philosophy of quantum mechanics, phenomenology, postphenomenology and all that sort of stuff. It's gone over my head a lot, and this frame from a Dan Dare comic sums it up perfectly.

There is no compliance like malicious compliance. 🤩

Ben's been at the weed again.

Just reading my news feed this morning ... excuse me but WTF is this a warning about? Are they literally trolling us?

Yep this makes a lot of sense - but what word _do_ we use? The main ideology on display is narcissism, but on a global scale. It possibly needs a new word, but then that doesn't communicate anything until the word's commonly understood.

Starting 2026 as I mean to go on - a Stargate rewatch - at this rate I calculate it'll take me until some time in May to reach the end.
