This makes me so sad and a little bit angry. Just go to the restaurant! Unless you are poorly, just go! the food will be better, fresher and it will actually be cheaper! And you'll get the lovely experience of being out with people waiting on you, which is a treat!

What do we think - did Nick Robinson challenge Badenoch on the lack of a state to carry out a punishment only given for sedition against the Roman empire? Or did he just nod thoughtfully, as if hers was a new, somehow reasonable theory?

Rachel Reeves says this Labour Governments decisions are "necessary." Why is it always necessary to hit the living standards of the 99%? When are we going to make the necessary decisions about extreme wealth?

I guess, in true Tory style, we lacked friends in high places. Britain is such a shitshow - and the liar Michael Gove is the very worst of it.

Yep, I listened to the recording, too. And surprised when a Trump supporting old friend told me Trump probably did nothing wrong and NO he hadn't listened to the call. Or watched J6 hearings.

Lib Dem leader Edward Davey calls for a national investigation into Russian political interference in British politics: "Given Reform won't, he must. So will he know launch a national investigation into Russian infiltration into our politics?" Starmer: "Reform is riddled with pro-Putin propaganda"

Maybe the next generation will set its sights on solving systemic problems instead of “My burrito is at a restaurant, but I’m all cozy here so, can a guy with a medical degree from another country bring it to me.” We’ve got that covered, and then some.

Trump, Musk, and the GOP killed hundreds of thousands of kids around the world. That should be a major story and talking point. They cut USAID to "save" from "waste," but gave 40 billion to Argentina and threw a Great Gatsby party and let Kash Patel burn our money for his honeypot GF.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand” Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

The press is for Trump. Yes maybe the billionaire owners benefit from tax cuts. But all the journalists are hastening the demise of their own profession for... what? A few more years in the game then turning into state propagandists?

Crikey Moses. Bluesky is basically watching Americans suffer the daily misery of having a buffoonish mob boss with dementia, and associated wackadoodle cronies, tear up everything good about their country, while ripping the mask off everything bad by embracing it with his full chest.

This is really horrible. But unfortunately not a surprise. Several academics have been for YEARS warning of exactly this kind of behaviour, should trump return to the presidency.

Good. Dems not backing down in the slightest in the face of Trump's call for their execution. Keep this up, Dems. Treat Trump like *he's* the violent criminal and the real threat to our Constitution order. Because he is.

Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain. The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.

People didn't vote for this. Reform was available as option for people who want to target the disabled and refugees - would have won more than 5 seats if this was what voters wanted.

The fact that the recent protests are all over dodgy YouTube accounts and everyone is carrying merch was a giveaway that they're bogus, like the Tommy Robinson -organised marches in UK. Real, organic protests aren't tidily branded!

@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”

‘The logic of algorithms tends to repeat what "works," but art opens up what is possible.’

On this Veterans Day, I'm reflecting on the fact that our Commander-in-Chief is a lying draft dodger who kicked out 5,000 trans service members who, unlike him, were serving ably and honorably, after hiring a white supremacist, alcoholic TV chatterbox to run our military.

Today is Armistice Day. As we fall silent at 11am, we remember all those who have lost their lives in war and conflict around the world. Lest we forget.

The abject cruelty inherent in America's ultra capitalism is now impossible to hide. SNAP is only necessary because the minimum wage is so low it basically allows employers to treat workers like indentured servants. And that's the way many employers like it.

Right: time to be a bit controversial about one of the greatest TV writers ever, Vince Gilligan. Love the concept of Pluribus, and Rhea Seehorn 🥰 but my gosh, what a false step to make the central character a female romantasy novelist who is cynical about the genre, her readers and her work. 1/3

The same dudes who fetishize the supposed lost strength and competence of their forefathers want computers to write their emails for them.

Andrew Lownie wrote an explosive book about Prince Andrew Then came the backlash. Legal threats. Palace sources told journalists not to speak to him Anonymous social media accounts accused Lownie of visiting sex workers. New on Democracy for Sale: democracyforsale.substack.com/p/inside-the...

I'm as white as the Pillsbury doughboy and I'm here to tell you that it's the Black contribution to American culture that defines "American culture"

Matthew does excellent work, please support him.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death. Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written." Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating. 🧪🧬🧫

Also, the co-discovered has a big asterisk on it because if we are being honest he and Crick stole Rosalind Franklin's work and she never got recognition for the discovery which was a central piece to decoding the double helix structure.

A magnificent piece of work. Comprehesive, revelatory & shocking. Journalism this good is always rare & precious but never moreso than at times like this.

The sound of people's joy when someone who stands up for ordinary people is elected must be TERRIFYING if your ability to make unlimited money from ordinary people might be at risk from their choice.

Zohran Mamdani, a 34-year-old democratic socialist whose meteoric rise captivated NewYorkCity, beat out former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to become city's next mayor, NBC News projects.

With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.

I always wonder how folks like Krauss and Dawkins fail to feel any shame for betraying science and the academic enterprise more generally. Nate is probably right that it's just the huckster's temptation, only now selling resentment instead of snake oil.

All week the pro-Israel and pro-Trump supporters screamed at us, in unison: why aren’t you celebrating the ceasefire?? Because we knew it wouldn’t last. But even I didn’t think it’d be over in less than a week. What a complete & utter humiliation for Trump, thanks to Netanyahu.

Fantastic investigative journalism from @thenerve.news

It’s always worth remembering that this utterly horrific wave of mass death inflicted on some of the poorest people in the world was for literally nothing. It hasn’t even been for some monstrously cynical benefit to someone, it hasn’t saved money. It is just some of the purest nihilism imaginable

You would not fire these people—including the staff of the hugely, HUGELY important 'Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report'—if you cared at all about public health, if you wanted people to live. And you would not let your thuggish henchmen fire people like this if you were a responsible president.

“Starving children screaming for food as US aid cuts unleash devastation and death across Myanmar” Never forget or forgive that Trump, Rubio, & Musk *chose* to inflict this monumental level of death and suffering on the poorest & most vulnerable people.

Can you imagine if Russia attacked and seized a UK vessel in international waters & kidnapped the people on board, including UK citizens, and the only response from the UK govt was to say that's "a matter for the Russian govt". No, me neither.

Not a single Greta hater could do what she has done, face what she's faced, bear abuse and humiliation at the hands of the most psychotic and genocidal army. They haven't an ounce of her bravery and that's what drives them crazy. Free Greta, free Palestine🇵🇸

Full solidarity with the flotilla, which represents the very best of humanity. And eternal shame to the European states who refused to protect it from Israeli assault and establish a corridor for aid to Gaza.

When people (like Mike Pompeo) claim that the Russia-Ukraine war wouldn't have happened under Trump, what they actually mean - as plainly revealed here - is that Trump wouldn't have helped Ukraine to resist, so it'd have fallen within the expected timeframe.

Wow, the envy of Russia among MAGA is real. They envy their kleptocracy, dictatorship, political violence, and now apparently they aspire to a military that practices ritual abuse of its own, war crimes against combatants and is routinely deployed against its own people.

The GOOD scenario for the future of the USA is that its discussed as an embarrassment, subject of dark comedy, where people chose misery because they ridiculed the warnings of women and people of colour. (The bad scenario is The Handmaid's Tale, obviously, with added foreign wars.)

Wow, scientific evidence REALLY threatens Trump and Project 2025 agenda. It's almost as if they understand their claims are based on fabricated nonsense, best they can do is defund and censor the actual science.

Digital ID won’t stop small boats or illegal employment. You already have to prove your right to work. A national Digital ID is illiberal, unworkable and un-British. I and the Liberal Democrats will do everything we can to stop this. ✍️ support our petition here: [https://buff.ly/UB5CrUZ]

Really, Reform UK? THIS is what you're going with? That this man, who served as an MEP next to Nigel Farage for years and was made leader of your party in Wales by current deputy, Richard Tice, is just "one of tens of thousands of people Nigel meets on an annual basis"?~AA
