Pretty incredible that the Pan Am logo is still visible on the DC4 wreckage after 74 years. It is also the reason we have pre-flight safety briefings. The pilots got it down on the water and everyone survived the landing. Most then drowned because they didn't know how to evac.

NOTICE ME SENPAI such unbelievable loser vibes. Bless.

Very bad draw for Mr. Mahdawi at the 2nd Circuit. Decision by Judge Livingston (Bush) and joined by Nardini (Trump) and Menashi (Trump) finds no jurisdiction. Except this to be taken en banc, especially as a motions panel of the 2nd Circuit previously ruled that the court DID have jurisdiction.

I think I’m done with graphics. Saw this and I’m convinced. I think it’s time to change careers.

Above 40°C?! Shit, I damn near died when it hit 40°C a few years back. Can't imagine what that's going to be like. Ground is already bone dry because its not rained in a few months now. We're fucked, aren't we?

The Trump admin's latest strategy to mass generate removal orders is diabolical: - Take a huge group of people with hearings scheduled in late 2026, 2027, or 2028. - Send them a physical letter rescheduling all of their cases to next week. - Those who inevitably miss court get ordered deported.

I don’t talk about real life on Main but my comment requires credentialing: i was at food banks 4x times last month, trying to support etc. Food insecurity is off the charts & I just don’t see anything on the horizon to help people. It’s terrifying. I just come home and sulk and cry and dissociate.

it has been an exercise in how a directed propaganda campaign can be highly effective, and seeing otherwise liberal people fall for it has disgusted and outraged me. People who lived through and fought against an extremely similar campaign of homophobia in the early 1980s, even!

This enabled Labour to play both sides and say to progressives that "it was them who lifted the ban" (technically true) and to homophobic bigots "Europe forced us to" (also true).

It’s worth remembering that while the ban on gay people in the military was lifted under a Labour government, that government fought to keep it in place all the way to Strasbourg. After their loss, the government finally lifted the ban in January 2000, when Streeting was *checks notes* a teenager.

you can literally commit any crime you want if you're in a car

Wow! No understanding of “e-bike”. An e-bike refers to a legal bike with e-assist limited to 15.5mph. An e-bike won’t move without the rider pedalling. An illegal e-bike has a throttle, is not speed restricted and moves without the rider pedalling. These need regulation.

Regrettably, both the BBC and the Met Police have contributed to this widespread confusion by using term 'e-bike' wrongly, e.g. see BBC report of 30 Dec 2025 on a Met Police operation in #Merton. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Mobility aids like electric hand cycle attachments for wheel chairs (mobility aids) have also been seized. This (West Midlands) story shows the widespread lack of understanding about the difference between a legal e-bike and an illegal electric motorbike. Full story: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"Man's legal e-bike seized and destroyed by police" Can you tell the difference between a legal e-bike limited to 15.5mph and an illegal electric motorbike with a throttle built on a bike frame? It matters!

The British right wing press has been doing “sadly Amnesty International has lost its way, so it must be ruthlessly destroyed” for almost twenty years, since I started paying attention. Usually by giving the reporting to the nastiest, most malicious crackpots on the payroll, as they’ve done here.

call me when "underlying causes of people's need to claim benefits" means properly funding Access to Work, PIP, the NHS, employment tribunals, public transport, Motability,

Putting morality aside for a moment, a genuine issue with Mahmood has been that we still have no idea what "success" looks like for her. If the goal is to cut immigration, she succeeded before entering office. If it's "net 10s of thousands" she's likely to succeed this year, before any reforms.

Andy Burnham has selected a whos-who of the biggest bigots and authoritarians in Labour for his front-bench, not least of which is the new Health Secretary, Yvette Cooper- responsible for the state's draconian anti protest laws, and a supporter of the Cass Review. We will resist. xoxo BASH BACK

If you see them, ignore them. Do not take their signs unless you stick your own sign on top of what they provide (and even then it’s super dodgy)

@socialistworker.bsky.social Trans Pride London are specifically asking all members of the SWP NOT to attend this year. Your attendance is not solidarity. You should keep away, we do not want you there.

I’m announcing a Temporary Use Ban on money for all Thames Water executives.

Buy more old stuff from charity shops

They're fucked whatever way this goes now tbh. If it goes ahead, Belfast will never forgive them and, by their own admission they rely on City Council and Arts council funding to exist, funding that will vanish on the back of this. But if they cancel it the Terfs will probably sue them.

Funding logos vanishing from web pages advertising Terf events at what is meant to be an inclusive festival, is it...

This is fucking terrifying

Labour vote 2024 up 1.6% from their crushing defeat in 2019. Tory vote down 19.9%... Labour could have stood on a manifesto that was literally blank, and done as well...

"fair and sustainable" is just "dignity and respect" for taking life lines away from people.

I need people - esp mainstream media - to point out that Nazi Germany didn’t start with the holocaust. (This is not aimed at OP, this is aimed at the article being quoted).

Hunt: "We've grown much wealthier as a country since the 80s" 1970s Britain owned its utilities, millions of council houses, had a huge oil/gas reserve & a national debt of £80bn. Now? No assets & £2.9tn national debt We havent got richer. Jeremy & his mates have at our expense

How can we hope he has a serious plan for ending "the terrible suffering of people in Gaza" when he can't even bring himself to name Israel as the genocidal aggressor causing the suffering? We need concrete action - a full arms embargo and an end to trade with illegal settlements.

I'm sorry, but "ganja"? These people honestly live in TV land. Just a wildly overblown nonsense written by people who are so far out of touch, they're using slang from half a century ago. Deeply unserious.

I appreciate what Frances does and this is not an attack. I merely want to point out how Phillipson has ordered schools to terrorise trans kids, children who have had no issue are to be segregated from their friends from September and people just don't even know no matter how much we shout

I worry sometimes that my response to AI might merely be regressive or reactionary and then every day I read shit like this and I think, no, I’m correct, these people have become completely untethered from the reality the rest of us share.

Everyone who's ever read anything by quentin letts, weeping: quentin, PLEASE stop shoehorning weird, sexualised comments about women's physical appearances into everything you write! Letts, smashing his cup on the floor: check this out, I can do it to men too

This might sound like I only care about trans people but the fact is how Burnham opts to treat trans people will tell you exactly how he will treat everybody else eventually. You can poo-poo that if you want, but you're wrong.

Wes Streeting as defence secretary

This and I'd add accessible and affordable housing to that excellent list of underlying things that need fixed.

When I came out as gay, scared and rejected, I never would have thought it possible I could one day own the keys to a nuclear warhead 🥹

Not again! #emfcamp

Raise the Colours, an organisation which has had one of its founders charged with murder, has been heavily implicated in a hit and run (currently under investigation), and another "leading light" faces trial for 22 indecent images charges.

A timeline cleanse with Jimothy the Raccoon in Seattle. He’s a uniquely shaped raccoon with a short-body spinal deformity but he doesn’t know that he’s different. Here’s his origin story. ❤️ #ProudBlue #Jimothy
