They have actually put this in the paper too

Worth looking at this stuff and cross referencing it with the sudden consensus opinion being that we need to dismantle the NHS and use the savings to buy missiles from the USA, I'd say.

Genuine unironic lol

I just saw somebody point out that Trump loves to hold grudges forever and can’t stop attacking “enemies” from ten years ago and more, but he never says anything about any of the men who allegedly tried to kill him.

i would greatly appreciate if other nations would stop kissing this guy's ass

Re the American flag discourse, when Americans on this platform are confronted by non-American victims of the American regime's oppression, the majority of them reply with something along the lines of "What are we supposed to do? What do you expect us to do?".

"I should be allowed to break the law without fear of consequence" is a thing that people say, mainly about driving or serving in the Trump administration.

The UK commentariat’s finest minds writing crafting their most nuanced moderate takes about how Miliband isn’t quite right for now unfortunately, and the Times just tweets out that the main problem is an aesthetic objection to wind farms from 4,000 miles away

I’d like to wish senior Trump officials a very happy 250th fuck off and mind your own business

welcome to bluesky, where we decide what images to bother loading in on a case by case basis

💢REPORT | Since agreeing to a ceasefire last Oct., Israeli forces have carried out 1,546 airstrikes & shelling attacks, 1,359 live-fire attacks, 145 military incursions, & 387 explosive home demolitions across Gaza. 2 Palestinian men were killed & 12 others wounded by Israeli forces on Wednesday...

🚨 At least 264 children, already cleared by the WHO & relevant Israeli & Palestinian bodies, have died while trapped in Gaza awaiting medical evacuation, according to Gaza’s Health Min. The min. says Israeli restrictions preventing patients on the WHO & COGAT-approved list from leaving Gaza have...

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

I see it's "glowing praise for billionaire giving away 1% of their net worth - so little that it will make literally no difference to their lives" season. Charity is good. Praising billionaires for what is basically an inexpensive PR effort for them isn't it. Praise them when they lose the status.

Just finished talking with a friend of mine. He was in my class at MIT but he leaned hard into "traditional" work. He and his wife both have tech jobs that pay well. They don't splurge. And his daughter getting stomach cancer destroyed their families future. "I feel broken" was his exact words.

"Why wont you simply become an American colony again? Don't you see how that's better?"

At the end of the video, you can see it is the Egyptian staff who are managing the situation and calm the cops. They are talking in a normal tone, patting the cop on the back and shoulder as he reaches for his handcuffs. Years living under an authoritarian regime gives you some skills I guess.

Yea, dealing with asshole cops who think they're God's gift to the nation is one thing Egyptians are well accustomed to.

Instagram has been running paid adverts promoting child sexual abuse material in India. The ads use terms including "rape video" and "child video" and link users to channels to Telegram, where the material costs 99 rupees (about $1). Ads can only published after being approved by its moderation.

Hoocoodanode the giant environment destroying rape culture theft machine glasses would do rape culture shit?! 😒

See, honestly no idea why this fashfest is happening, this is how they are treating actual players and members of the delegation!!! Like FFS have some self respect, and like you're attending basically the equivalent of the Nazi Olympics...

@zackpolanski.bsky.social What’s going on with this dropping the T from the LGBTQ+? I’m hoping this is a false flag account posing as official Green Party.

"Rehabilitating the symbol of a genocidal empire is the progressive mission"

*looking up at a red, white and blue flag that is so stained with blood that the pattern underneath is barely recognisable* “I can reclaim this, leftistly.”

Incredibly sinister vibes keeping the pubs open til 5am, for football fans (a notoriously temperate crowd), in an atmosphere of razor-sharp racial tensions. We had literal race pogroms a fortnight ago. They burned down a whole street. Starmer (and Labour) is indifferent. Let the beer flow!

Fill your garage with Hogwater.

Thiel isn’t unwell, any more than Musk is. They’re just Nazis, it’s not more complicated.

You don't become a billionaire by being clever: clever, with luck, gets you a few million. You become a billionaire by being so unimaginative, fanatical or egotistical that you don't cash out but keep working when you no longer need the money.

Ah, so sports teams of a nation committing genocide belong to the fans, but not any of the crimes that nation is committing in their name, apparently.

Rarely has anyone made the "It's okay to be a Good German" argument with their head as far up their own ass as you have just accomplished

so cool how it's now your own fault as a parent when the giant, uncontrolled slop machines just yoink pictures of your kids

Saying the stated ideals of a nation founded with institutional slavery were "purely good" is really incredible

It’s HOT! Don’t forget to unplug your local Data center to stay cool.

They are arresting U.S. Air Force Officers for free speech and U.S. Olympians for curiosity—but not rich men for raping children with Jeffrey Epstein.

Finished this last night.Never read any Le Carré before and now I have lots to read. Such a great book. Think in my head I'd lumped him in with the Dick Francis type popular novels of my childhood. Well, I was an idiot.

Keir Starmer's apology for historical forced adoptions falls flat given Labour's significant maternity-related failings

Medical institutions are silencing their staff and impeding efforts to build solidarity with medical workers in Gaza. My reporting:

The Socialist Campaign Group of Labour MPs has accused the party of chasing Reform voters, and called for a move back to the left-wing

not normally on the same side as the pig scabs at the NPCC but you have to agree this is a fucking mental decision to keep the pubs open to 5am

“You can’t transition after your 20s your body’s too ruined and you’ll be hideous and hate yourself.” I love it when people just want to suck joy out of your life by gatekeeping, as a way to handle their insurmountable misery and self loathing. Pass the love along, I came out at 35 🥰

Norfolk died last year. If he was ever sad about the malignant use his colleagues put his work to, then I missed it.

That was 15 years ago. The paper has made good on its threat ever since with a decade and a half of increasingly Mein Kampfy screaming about the traitors and ethnic enemies in our midst. Consciously choosing to create a country where the far right grows, thrives and succeed, knowing what it meant.

This is presented as Andrew Norfolk’s work fifteen years ago being turned into an openly hateful programme of inflammatory propaganda but I sat with a copy of that very paper in my hand in 2011 and read *the Times of London* announcing it required total war against liberalism and multiculturalism.

LOL come on guys, are you genuinely doing a moral panic over “what appears to be a Soviet-era uniform”. Are preschoolers going to defect to the USSR www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Lisa Nandy is responsible for regulating social media - but she's just shrugged her shoulders and given up as she announces departure from X

Many people who declare themselves to be practising Christians are profoundly religiously illiterate. In some senses, the more religiously illiterate you are, the more likely you may be a "true believer"...

You have to hand it to Matt Goodwin, for a politician who has neither held elected office nor acted as a spokesperson for a party in a specific portfolio (sorry, President of Students4Reform doesn't count), he generates an impressive number of news stories.
