Crow: They’re doing things that are deeply unpopular. Their approval ratings continue to go down—that is, Republican members of Congress and this administration—and yet they don’t seem worried about it. Which raises the obvious question: what are they going to do?

Good news everyone.

Reform… Brexit… UKIP… whatever they call themselves… but essentially - Farage’s outfit - is a traitorous piece of shit operation that routinely risks our national security and has already weakened us beyond all recognition from 10 years ago. Now leading in the polls. Putin is delighted.

Nathan Gill is no fringe politician. He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales. A Brexit Party MEP. A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him: "terrific," and "as honest as the day is long." This is a MASSIVE story www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Completely normal country where I wake up every day and see some polling asking people whether or not I should be allowed to live here and and exactly how much of a scourge to society I am. Very cool. I feel great, actually.

The problem with politics is that the people who want to be politicians shouldn't be.

We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

RIP Danny Thompson. Here's a playlist featuring just some of the hundreds of songs that were graced by his bass playing. Includes Nick Drake, Pentangle, Donovan, John Martyn, Sandy Denny, Marc Bolan, David Sylvian, Kate Bush, Talk Talk, Lilac Time, Julian Cope etc ▶️ open.spotify.com/playlist/4XS...

Look what we have here then.

What getting raptured taught me about B2B sales

Oh no, I've just seen the news that legendary bassist Danny Thompson has died. He was fantastic - and a trooper for putting up with John Martyn's (also legendary) mood swings!!! Here's my favourite ever performance featuring the two of them: youtu.be/kCI1IW1aRP0?...

Kind of amazing how UK news media still remains obsessed with the structurally limited impact in economic terms of small boats even as this potentially terminal havoc works its way through key UK industrial supply chains on.ft.com/3Ihb8YF

Tylenol

Just to be clear: - Paracetamol does not cause autism. - Sadiq Khan is not introducing Sharia law in the UK - We do not have a massive free speech problem here. - Britain is not on the verge of civil war. These are not controversial subjects or contested, they're just not true.

This is very powerful. #MentalHealth

It is possible to cherish the BBC as an institution while also saying that BBC News is failing very badly, day after day, in its duty to inform and that it always fails in a right-wing direction. It desperately needs to recover its integrity

I'm not the first to notice the reinvention of @wired.com from mouthpiece of tech ideology to showing everyone else how to do journalism today, but this cover is something else. The inclusion of their own hagiographic covers in the back is a nod to that shift, which is beautiful. Also…

Elf Uhr.

This is Sinclair Broadcasting.

Why not just face up to the fact that Hungary & Slovakia need to be put on notice by both the EU & NATO. They are complicit in Putin’s pathetic objective to recreate soviet Russia’s borders. Hungary refuses to stop buying Russian oil despite Trump’s Nato demand www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Hmm

We have always been at war with Tylenol

A vat of vaccines? A vat of 80 different vaccines? Fragile little children? When does a country stop this? When do they finally wake up to the awful madness of KKK-ing Trump and take him and his cronies to somewhere safe? Somewhere they can be looked after. Where they can no longer cause harm.

NYT: The rapture is coming. Here's why that's bad for Biden.

Once more: the best evidence shows that Tylenol taken during pregnancy is not harmful. **This question is settled.** The benefit of reducing discomfort and fever is extremely important at a time when the fetus is developing.

How do you create something that still feels this good after fifty years?

The AI snake is officially starting to eat its own tail

I have defended the BBC again and again. No more.

Seriously. A one-hour Party Political Broadcast. Followed at the top of the next hour with top story billing and a highlights package. Exactly how will this be "balanced" across their coverage? Where is Ofcom? Where is Nandy?

His plan was - as ever - inspired. Once he’d got his French partner to buy his house for him, in order to avoid paying £44k in stamp duty, he’d then deport her.

The House Oversight Committee asked the U.S. Attorney for FL about the sweetheart deal he gave Epstein in 2008. Turns out, after 40 minors gave testimony & another Attorney gave him a 53 pg drafted indictment, Acosta decided they didn't have a case. 🤔 He was later appointed in Trump's cabinet. 🧵👇🏼

Y'know, I've given this painting so much more publicity over the last 50 years than @moma.bsky.social ever has.

On today of all days, we could use a reminder that nearly all people are good people just trying to live a life worth living 💜

Religion… It’s easier than critical thinking.

A start would be to remove Robbie Gibb and his appointments since his return to the BBC more than 20yrs ago. The man is a contemptible far-right shill. Chris Mason’s ‘career’ would not have happened with someone competent and non-aligned at the wheel.

Ye olde me(n)tal minstrels.

When Trump inevitably fails to fulfil the US’s NATO obligations, the fallout will be immediate and severe. ‘Murica will quickly discover that there are consequences.

Let's have a nice boring second half, and get minutes for some of the bench #lufc

The US ceased to be a reliable NATO ally on January 20, 2025. The last week has simply made that undeniable. The only question now is whether European leaders accept it. The USA will not now defend Europe from Russia. That is reality. Everything else is hopes and dreams.
