You can just do Islamophobia on the cover of your magazine; it's so normalised now that you don't even have to worry

St Eric...🙌 Paging @kelseyfeed.bsky.social x

Why should any political donations other than a standard annual party membership fee (say £25) be permitted? All other options allow wealthy people disproportionate political influence.

Countries from Spain to Australia have slammed Israeli plans for the indefinite occupation of southern Lebanon

Turns out f your main messaging is attacking marginalised groups it doesn't play well with voters. There's a misconception "white working class voters," will support racism and bigotry. Most just want their lives to be a little better. Labour needs to learn that. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Can’t help feeling it’s the word ‘patriot’ that should be in inverted commas here, not ‘drunk’, Manchester Evening News. www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater...

oh now you’re in trouble

Y’APPY NOW?

when you’ve not been out yet and your studio assistant wants a break

Seeing as John Terry has outed himself as a supporter of Reform Britain’s right-wing rhetoric, here’s a reminder of the truly hilarious and shameless attempts at positive PR when he was accused of racially abusing QPR defender Anton Ferdinand in 2011

Bit of a slow morning so only just coming out for a walk and found these on my driveway 😭😭😭 they’re from the woman who lives near me with the dog

Trump’s counterterrorism chief, whose own wife was killed by ISIS, quits over Iran War saying Tehran posed ‘no imminent threat’ and that it was “clear” that the U.S. war on Iran had been started “due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.” www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Happy Mothers Day to the decent mum's out there. While my daughter treats my amazing wife to a special lunch, seemed like a good time to speak about autism and emotional impermanence, because I know a lot of autistic individuals can feel really bad about this, including myself, and why we shouldn't.

Hard to believe this guy bankrupted a casino /s

#MusicHistory On this day, 1995, Radiohead released their brilliant 2nd album, The Bends. The Bends marked the moment Radiohead transformed from a one-hit alternative act, off the global success of Pablo Honey’s “Creep,” into one of the most forward-thinking bands of their generation.

Nabatiyeh is being completely razed to the ground by the Israelis. It was one of the largest cities in South Lebanon, around 100,000 people. Now around 150 families left there. Video: www.instagram.com/p/DV0q4AbCBLB/

“AI can never be AI without humans. It is not artificial intelligence. It’s African intelligence...We are training our own death. We train ChatGPT and it’s killing us slowly.” Kenyan workers are still the underpaid labor behind AI training, moderation, and sex chatbots. Now, they're fighting back.

consistently more stupid than anyone expects

The Israelis bombed a bridge over the Litani river. They are actively cutting off South Lebanon from the rest of the country.

A beautiful Friday ☀️

Scottish banknotes has just sent me down a rabbit hole... Did you know that Scottish banknotes are not even legal tender in Scotland? Only Royal Mint coins are legal tender in Scotland BUT Legal tender is a narrow definition referring only to debt settlement, it doesn't relate to shop payments

mfer needs a wetsuit

Every single post insisting on the beneficial uses of ChatGPT, Claude etc is fundamentally worthless as the development of these tools has been, and continues to be, deeply unethical. I don't care that it makes your life easier, it's built on theft and damage. End of story

We've had the solution to the Strait of Hormuz problem for decades

animals can't turn out to be embarrassing wrong'uns like many public and historical figures do.

There are quite a few cynical and sinister figures in British public life. But Tony Blair is among the very worst. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

On the same day it's being reported that the strike on day 1 of their war that killed 170+ (mostly schoolgirls) was a target that Israel intel ID'd using AI and the US fired the weapon. What a fucking psychopath.

Recently, to unwind from my day, I have been making tiny clay guys in boots

It was blindingly obvious that this was going to happen. All the woolly language around ‘limited use’ and ‘defensive purposes’ was just stalling. It always is.

The new orders now covers the south of the Zahrani River - almost the whole of Lebanon's south.

Israel will annex the southern part of Lebanon up to the Litani, and steal more of the West Bank while we watch the chaos they sowed in Iran. There should be more focus on the violence there.

US bombers loading up on UK airstrips before raining down bombs on Iran. Parliament wasn't consulted - and polling shows huge numbers oppose it. When do MPs get a say over our involvement in this war? www.forbes.com/sites/peters...

Waging war on a whim is now doing "everything they can to avoid armed conflict." Real war is peace stuff.

Back at the airport. ama comin home troopie!

anyone who says boots on the ground or troops on the ground cos they think it sounds sassy coming out of their stupid mouth should just trigger a recruitment process involving them being carted off for basic training

Trump threatens to destroy a country of 90+ million people and describes it as “a gift from the United States of America to China”
