Farage and Badenoch's sabre rattling and Trump arse-kissing has put a bit of a dent in their most recent polling. Even the racists and the tax dodgers don't want war.

"If the United States attacks another Nato country, everything stops." - Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen No, its actually the exact opposite. If the United States attacks another NATO country, then everything STARTS.

For me, LLMs are an occasional dev tool and a novel way to search for information. That's about it. They are not the dawn of a new economic age. The bubble of AI hype and malinvestment is already popping. calnewport.com/why-didnt-ai...

labour were quick to attack polanski over wanting to remove ourselves from nato and work with European allies instead, turns out polanski predicted the future and was right this entire time, maybe everyone should listen to him more, doesnt speak like a robot either

Although this article is specifically about US Tech monopolies, it ties this into imperialism and geopolitics in general. A fascinating read. pluralistic.net/2026/01/01/3...

What could possibly go wrong?

Smallest possible self-hosted language would have a single command: print the code of the compiler. Which means the compiler of such language is essentially a Quine.

a quick refresher in US geopolitics-speak since some of you appear to be fucking stupid: "Democratically Elected" means "Does What US Corporations Want" "Brutal Dictator" means "Doesn't"

This is fucking CNN mind you, not Fox or GB News saying "intervene". Aren't they supposed to hold Trump's feet to the fire? "Intervene" implies that there is some kind of ongoing civil war in Greenland 🙃

On BBC News today: striking that it’s the two old establishment parties - Labour and the Conservatives - refusing to condemn the US breaking international law and doing what it wants. Feels like politics stuck in the past, while the public has clearly moved on.

Nicolás Maduro Charged With Felony Oil Possession

"Ed Zitron, the foul-mouthed figurehead of AI scepticism" New bio? 😁 www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Standing room only at the NVIDIA keynote. Currently a VC analyst and founder burping up word salad. The abridge ceo just said “the majority of doctors use AI,” we’ve had multiple things said so far that are complete nonsense

People are right to be angry. Nearly half a century of Neoliberalism has destroyed this country and people want serious change. It's time the people got what they want.

Multiple people in the replies saying something along the lines of "This is Russia", "Very Russian", "Just like Russia" etc. No. This is the US. It is very US, it is just like the US. People need to stop likening their nation's fascism to other nations.

📩 In our latest InDepth newsletter, Matt Frei in Washington DC examines Trump’s possible justifications behind the extraordinary violation of sovereignty:

Imagine, you made it this far, alone, away from your family and those you love. Your one little lifeline, your battered old phone, the only connection to your community is then snatched away from you for no good reason whatsoever. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

🚨 NEW | Brits OPPOSE Trump's invasion of Venezuela by a whopping 30pt margin, reveals new poll. ✅ Approve: 21% ❌ Disapprove: 51% Via @yougov.co.uk, 5 January 2026

I went vegan in 2016, so here is a pro-tip for anyone doing veganuary this year. Eat rice and beans together *in the same meal*. Its the most satiating combo out there. Good for your waistline, your digestion and your budget 👌

BBC journalists have been banned from describing the kidnapped Venezuelan leader as having been kidnapped. The BBC News Editor has sent this to BBC journalists.

Imperialism (noun): a policy of extending a country's power and influence through colonisation, use of military force, or other means. It's clear what Trump is doing. Yet our Labour government refuse to defend international law and condemn the illegal actions of a rogue state.

The OK Computer album. Thom Yorke is (by all accounts) a complete knobhead in addition to Radiohead as a whole being unrepentant Zionists.

Got my brows done in Orrell Park this afternoon. Feeling like a proper scouse prinny rn 💅

Darren Jones saying repeatedly the Labour Government won't comment on a hypothetical. It's not hypothetical - Trump is saying very loudly repeatedly what he's done and boasting about it. And yet the UK Government won't even say it's a breach of international rules. Shameful.

Man, C and JavaScript really are alike. Both are shit, and both are irreplaceable because just happened to be in the right place in the right time.

This'll be the sort of thing that Starmerites point at when they say they can't understand why he's so unpopular

I don't care if anthropomorphic dogs have 2 tits or 6 tits. I don't care if their bodyfat distribution conforms to typical human or typical canine female secondary sexual characteristics. I don't care if they are skinny or thicc. I don't care what they are wearing.

Anyone complaining about "leftist infighting" needs to STFU and read Lenin. Everything he wrote (pre and post the October Revolution) was talking smack about other self-styled socialists. He names them, quotes them and reads them to filth. But he never took the piss out of the Tsar's haircut.

Danes who fought for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Alliance in Iraq and Afghanistan express surprise that the biggest leopard of all is now staring at them, grinning and salivating.

This is the best citation of my work yet www.theguardian.com/business/202...

I did a google image search for this classic screenshot and got nothing. The original tweet wasn't on X either. Consulted Reddit which gave me a link to imgur. Blocked in the UK. Set the VPN to Canada. Got a "site busy" error in JSON. Set it to USA, tried the link again and it finally worked 👏🏻

The "most affluent households" are the ones posting on bsky saying "cor, isn't Starmer brilliant eh? can't imagine why so many people don't like him" as they hit send from their holiday home in Tuscany and read the email from their letting agent renting out their UK properties.

Rules Based Order never existed. Its always been might makes right in this era of "peace".

Well, the drug trafficking one is easy cos its not fucking happening anyway, but the other US demands basically amount to "do whatever the fuck the US wants or else"? 🤷‍♀️

Libs : "but...that's against the law!" Leftists : "who enforces the law?" Libs : "our governments do" Leftists : "not if we're the ones breaking it, no"

*accidentally strays into certain parts of Bluesky today*

Donald Trump is so obviously going to annex Greenland. And European leaders will respond with unparalleled levels of "monitoring the situation".

Well, he should know. He criminalised left wing parties, shut them down and asset stripped them, before moving to conscript children and senior citizens, so...

Don't be duped into anger by the billionaire‑owned press ⚠️ 70% of cash from scrapping the two‑child limit will go to kids with at least 1 parent in work. The problem is wages (often paid by mega‑profitable corporations 💼) are too low to live on. #TaxTheSuperRich

Nice breakdown of the current US imperialist strategy in Latin America. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnD0...

oh god i’ve just seen a nafo yank, ex army, refer to himself as part of “the resistance” and that he “voted with his feet” can you absolutely fucking not

"This was an assertion of American power.. and a message to others.. who might want to stand up against American power" The ex head of MI6 spelling it out.

Spoiler! No. Absolutely none. And huge consequences for the whole world and all our security if US are allowed to get away with this... Come on Keir... www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

“Left-leaning mothers of Mumsnet”

I've just seen an Instagram post urging people not to let Venezuela become a distraction from the Epstein files and I'm wondering how long before people twig that maybe the Epstein files are the distraction

Is anyone else struck by the dissonance caused by the claim that that US will 'run' Venezuela? They dropped a few bombs and kidnapped maduro, but the government there is still intact. Exactly how to they plan on running it without properly invading?

More evidence that in order to actually deter the United States, you need a nuclear weapon.
