This would appear to have taken place since Farage’s school days. Not really “playground banter” is it? www.theguardian.com/uk/1999/oct/...

Now Hegseth's just trying to get to the next level of the video game.

If anyone ever writes a Doug Ford biography I suggest they title it The Bonfire of the Tax Dollars.

NEWS: U.S. companies have announced over 1.1 million layoffs in 2025, the highest total since the pandemic-hit year of 2020, according to a report from Challenger, Gray & Christmas

The Deep State is a conspiracy theory. I know we all find Truss amusing, but I find it deeply concerning that you've got an actual former Prime Minister even saying this stuff.

Supreme Court lets Texas use gerrymandered U.S. House map www.npr.org/2025/12/04/n...

And why do we aspire to be like the worst of the worst!? Seriously WTAF?! I can't wrap my brain around this kind of thinking. 😒

Climate news from Latin America: - This year Mexico prioritised fossil fuels and made cuts to the environmental sector. - Ecuador legalised 19,000 hectares of indigenous lands to reduce deforestation. - Argentina did not update its NDC and cut environment budget. And more here 🔽

Fact check for those who don’t know.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: “Somali Americans are Americans. They make Minneapolis a better place and we’re proud to have these Americans in our city. So, you wanna use the term “garbage”, that’s exactly what Trump is doing right now to the Constitution of the United States.” Well done Mayor!!!

Anyone defending execution as a reasonable punishment for drug smuggling is a Nazi. Pass it on.

Bloomberg: US urges Europe to keep russian funds frozen. Because using them to stop russia is bad for peace. Yes, really.

This may well be the sickest thing you will read today. A two-year old? Come the fuck on, man!It's no surprise Johnny Knuckles is a racist, and a pedo—of course! Check out the excuses he gave for doing it. 😡 #ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory fox59.com/news/indynew...

If you are interested in this latest expression of misogyny - and you really, really should be - I strongly recommend Laura Bates' The New Age of Sexism.

This is getting stupid now. We're at the point where Labour acknowledge both the damage caused by Brexit AND that rejoining the Customs Union (more accurately, joining A Customs Union) would boost growth. And yet they still reinforce their red lines. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Polanski: "A woman said to me 'we aren't obsessed with immigration in Dover, we want to talk about the NHS, our libraries, our schools.' "So we're having a #bbcqt immigration special: when are we going to have a Cost Of Living Special, or a Climate Special, or a Tax The Rich Special?" Damn right.

Prison rape is wrong. Jokes about prison rape are wrong. Eliminating protections against prison rape is wrong. If another country sentenced a criminal to be raped, we'd consider it a crime against humanity. BUT A large segment of Americans regard prison rape as a de facto part of the sentence.

We’re launching the Earth Rover Program - trying to make geophysics actually usable for farmers. That means tackling the ridiculous price of equipment and opening up a global, easy-to-use dataset so anyone, anywhere around the globe, can understand what’s happening under their feet.

The University of Oklahoma is facilitating a trap used by RW Christian students against LGBTQ faculty. They put a TA on leave for rightfully flunking a student whose assignment included open slurs. There is an organized campaign to isolate LGBTQ in academia. www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/12/univ...

Fed up with this dystopian nightmare? We are too. That's why we're pushing back against surveillance tech and government censorship, both in the courts and on the streets. Help us today: eff.org/power-up

For those who still think we should “vote blue no matter who,” I give you Hakeem Jeffries praising Trump for closing our borders to black and brown people not even 24 hrs after calling his colleague Ilhan Omar and other Somali immigrants garbage. You can’t make this stuff up!!

The #SignalGate coverup continues.

Drew Gooden: "You have  to wonder if we've finally reached a point now where the greed has gone too far ... no amount of gaslighting about how the economy is good will convince people who are dying because they can't afford to go to the doctor."

Immigrants and Latinos have been so essential to disaster recovery that a statue in New Orleans honored the workers who helped rebuild after Katrina: www.wwltv.com/article/news...

If you wouldn’t know better, it’s really hard to believe that there are people in America who really think like this…..

​Republican Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) says women will shoulder burden for GOP health plan: 'They're great shoppers' Another idiotic and condescending asshole who shouldn't be near our Congress. www.rawstory.com/republican-h...

Kashi is terrifying. So many humans have totally lost the plot.

The Missouri GOP is so determined to keep voters from having a say on their gerrymandered maps that the AG is accusing the company that's collecting signatures to put it on the ballot of human trafficking. Her only evidence is "reports." www.rawstory.com/gerrymanderi...

Official government discrimination encourages *private* discrimination, as surely as night follows day.

Hakeem Jeffries is the Merrick Garland of House minority leaders.

Literally just gambling. Everything is gambling now. Same company that just partnered with CNN to include "prediction markets" in their global newsroom btw

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes? That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.
