A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Google maps need to retake street view images now while all the flags are on lampposts so future home buyers will know where to avoid like the fucking plague.

The threat to shut X in the UK is a threat to the whole far right ecosystem. They're going to throw everything at stopping it because they know it would cause them almost irreparable damage. That's not the case for more moderate voices on left and right who have choices..

Remember when you were a real newspaper?

When I read stuff like this, my first thought is always - ‘I wonder if the pictures are kids or livestock?’

“What do you mean you don’t tip?”

Some videos of large protests in Tehran are emerging via Starlink, as Iran continues to endure a comms blackout affecting internet/cell phone functioning. This screenshot shows a protest in Tehran in which people are raising their cell phones with the lights on as torches (via IranIntl_En on X):

If they removed evidence that makes these men accessories to the crime.

Even pre-Musk, Twitter's percieved influence was always outsized, largely because it was where journalists/wonks etc. hung out, which is also the main reason, imo, why these people will not give up the platform, even as it just becomes Stormfront with added CSAM and scams

You’re a fucking idiot

She smiled at the officer. So he shot her in the face. And then called her "a fucking bitch."

Labour defends Trump.

Yes it was and if you shouted about it at the time there was any number of people willing to tell you it was 'alternative news' and 'no different to the BBC' and free speech Highly effective propaganda and Putin was literally laughing at us as the damage was done. Very similar to the X situation.

Moral collapse

I'm starting to think Trump only wants Greenland to use as a landing stage for him to invade Norway. #Nobel

🎶 What's Norway got to do, got to do with it....

Nominal fees being the definite solution to predatory sexual crimes.

World War III has been cancelled due to bad weather

"I don't know what Norway has to do with it, but that's where the committee is located."

He has the emotional maturity of my dog when she sees me stroking my cat.

This is also a field test. If the press lets them muddy the waters on executing a woman in Minneapolis despite multiple witnesses and video recordings clearly depicting what happened, the message they'll take away is that there's nothing they can't get away with. Nothing.

The world is a dark and frightening place right now, so I just cheered myself up by spending half an hour reading the problems of people who really need to get a fucking life in order to have something to properly worry about. Would recommend. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Cunt.

Even if you’re guilty of something you’re not meant to be executed in a cul de sac by a masked thug.

BREAKING: UK military supported US operation to seize tanker in Atlantic with air surveillance and navy ship, Ministry of Defence says www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...

seems fine that the government is leaving the investigation of AI creation of child sexual abuse content (a crime) entirely to an organization whose previous investigations include pre-watershed swearing in Emmerdale and a barfing contestant incident on Dick and Dom's Hoopla

After making it very clear the UK had no involvement whatsoever in Trump's Venezuela assault, it's notable that Keir Starmer's spokesman today repeatedly refused to give the same assurance about the US seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker in the Atlantic. Would not comment on whether UK bases used

Since the head of *compliance* at the deepfake and child porn website is an English barrister with a license to practice, perhaps people should contact the Bar Standards Board to report their concerns using this handy link: www.barstandardsboard.org.uk/ask-us-a-que...

People who consider themselves decent, progressive, or left leaning should not only be embarrassed to remain on X in any active capacity - they should be deeply ashamed. The line was crossed long ago.

Are they coming to kidnap Keir Starmer?

Our podcast returns for 2026 as David Pratt joins me to discuss what's really going in Venezuela, whether Greenland is next and the media's response to the whole thing. Does international law exist anymore? Great to have David offer this top analysis. youtu.be/Vwz5A276SWg?...

Five years ago, this great moment was captured on video:

Keir Starmer's spokesman tells me that X and Grok's creation of sexual deepfakes of children is "completely unacceptable" but again won't commit to taking direct action against them, or to stop posting there. Says "all options are on the table" but suggests it's a matter for Ofcom, not Government

Might be time for our MPs to finally close their accounts eh?

He knows. That's the point. Feature - not bug.

I found £10 in an old pencil case yesterday. Anyone fancy clubbing together to buy Alaska? Or invade it? I don't have to go to any meetings till next Tuesday, I've got bags of time

Because he's a fucking arsehole.

Meanwhile our government wrings its hands and asks Musk to explain what he might be doing to prevent the proliferation of child porn on his platform as if he cares whilst he rakes in cash for it. Our police and regulators stand aside and watch. It's pathetic.

Sad to learn that I'm going to have to bazooka all my yank friends and family in World War 3. But to be fair, they deserve it.
