Blimey, the number of people suddenly opening their eyes to the slow death of a rules-based international system because of a politicised footy red card rather than, say, an economy distorting tariff outburst, an invasion of sovereign land, or an actual genocide is breathtaking.

Surprise!

Should be shut down then. These fucking liars should have to provide the renewable electricity supply and water needs before they build their death centres. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

How long before trump puts out a "truth" that implicates himself in this corruption?

I ran an absolutely 100% human, zero AI-involvement at any stage passage of my writing through an "AI detector," curious if it could really tell human from AI work, and it said my own writing was "84% AI written" then asked I wanted to pay to have it "humanized." So there's that to keep in mind.

Suggestion for Doonbeg if he really does come here in September #speirgorm

Protecting women and girls only matters when the offender isn't one of their mates

45 years ago today. Buried on page 20 on a holiday Friday just like this one, news that changed the world. www.nytimes.com/1981/07/03/u...

Former Sun Editor Kelvin MacKenzie, the foghorn voice of the Hard Right, has just used GB News to urge Farage to give back the £5 million “gift”. They’re all turning on Farage now.

Israel is a terrorist state

Anyway this empire in its current form is definitely falling & there is no going in reverse so try to maintain some self-respect if you’re existing through it & stop throwing marginalized people under the bus for some increasingly illusory promise of temporary insulation from harm.

I think the solution here is self examination. Maybe recognise your bigotry FFS

So, you're saying the racists are lying and the media are helping them in order to do more racism? Well, isnt that a shocking development...

I try to avoid using Amazon but the last couple of times I have, I've gotten "package delayed in transit". Wondering if that's just been my bad luck or if it's much wider than that....

Won't someone please think of the poor CEOs??!

Donald Trump Tweeted this picture of him holding all the cards in Uno. A game where you win by getting rid of all your cards.

You tore down the east wing you dumb fuck!

He's describing slum lords.

When Trump dies, I hope it's just after something thoroughly embarrassing for him (like lots of states pulling out of the 250 celebrations) and just before he makes yet another push at voter suppression. A small window, I know but .... 🤞

It’s time we used more accurate pictures to accompany articles on dangerous heatwaves. Like someone lying mostly naked on the floor of the coldest room of the house, still trying to get work done on a laptop.

Israel deliberately targeting Gaza children to commit genocide, UN inquiry finds

Things any PM could do: Join the EU again. Tax the super wealthy. Get off twitter. Stand up to the far right. Don't equate paint throwers with ISIS. Stop jailing pensioners for support of PA. Stop considering the feelings of far right media in decision making. /

Just devoid of acknowledgement of all the shit things labour *has* done.

I wonder when people will realise they've been scammed?

Still won't reach Donegal.....

Lots of essay-like hot takes on Brexit today. All you need to know is that the UK needs back into the EU. It'll be better for everyone. Yes, you'll have to listen to far right idiots complaining about it but they'll complain and lie about anything.

Nobody deserves it. I would like those making decisions on how much support disabled, trans, sick, elderly, poor to not act surprised though. Again, nobody deserves it.

That’s the problem with recognising climate change is a scientific reality and then trying to ensure the only biosphere in the known universe remains habitable, it’s just such a downer.

I enjoyed this guy talking about the Architecture of the new Obama Center

For clarification on the left are a group of terrorists and on the right are the results of people expressing ‘legitimate concerns’ in Belfast according to Starmer’s government. Cardboard trumps arson.

So, the delightful Peter Theil has a secret club. I’m glad the Prime Minister’s Advisor On AI isn’t on a list of members or associates found in the code. Oh…

I was in the middle of the road on this but very much against the idea now. Techbros should be battered for allowing SM to and politicians should be up to that fight. All of this "ban it for kids" stuff feels very much like a cover for a future "ah sure look; we tried"

Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I love it but it's beyond time.

RFK Jr demanded the *retraction* of a 20 yr Danish study that showed aluminums in vaccines do not cause health issues. The journal REFUSED saying the study has been peer-reviewed and found to have no significant flaws. Imagine asking science to un-science itself.

Israel is a terrorist state

A wee group of angry balaclava and mask-wearing anti-immigration guys tried to stop the good people of Glasgow showing solidarity with migrants and standing up to racism and fascism. Well, the far right are far outnumbered... #RefugeesWelcome #MigrantsWelcome #NeighboursNotStrangers #Glasgow

I love educational posts

While his mountain of horrible personal conduct could fill multiple books, one fact in particular stands out: A year ago, Musk’s actions directly led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He did it knowingly. And, worse — gleefully. Read more: www.theverge.com/tech/949259/...

“Israeli firm BlackCore, suspected of interfering in France's ​local elections in March, is also ‌suspected of meddling in elections in New York City and Scotland”

This. Good people are everywhere. Racists make the news.

"Not in my back yard now that I've bought it...."

Idiots. It looks like all of the rioters are loyalists. Even a few of their politicians are pushing for a review of the CTA because they are so extreme in their anti-irishness.

Great read

If Muslims or members of the Asian and Black community had set fire to white people’s homes with children running for their lives, do you think we would be discussing legitimate concerns or focussing on who radicalised them and ideological and contributing cultural factors?
