www.theguardian.com/environment/... This is a huge development

Proud to be part of this change!

A market with no price signals that has created some of the highest fees in the world that hasn’t secured university funding. A policy that achieves literally none of its aims!

I just got on a new carriage on the Central line, it's a lot quieter than the old ones and has AC, it almost feels unreal.

my private memo is raising a lot of questions already answered by my private memo

This perfectly encapsulates why we need the BBC

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

the biggest lesson from the emails today is that powerful people are so unafraid of consequences for crimes as bad as “raping children” that they will just talk about it openly in emails the only path to a better society is one where that is no longer true

Delighted to announce I need to share cookies with 178 "partners" to "display and present advertising" in order to watch TV 🤙

For anybody seeking context on this one: this policy on its face would result in the deportation of my wife, who has been living in Scotland for 17 years, is married to a Scot, shares the mortgage on a house, and works in a university. Lots of perfectly comfortable people earn < £38k.

It’s too bad that “the speech” is mostly remembered for Joe Biden plagiarizing it bc Kinnock was really cooking

@newstatesman1913.bsky.social hello, I've been trying to contact support through the form in your help centre but it keeps erroring out. Can I simply email someone please?

Starmer on Tuesday: "We must stand against racism" Starmer on Wednesday: "Human rights laws are stopping us sending people to face torture so we need to rethink them." Labour on Tuesday: "Labour is the party of working people" Labour on Wednesday: "If your boss mistreats you, tough shit"

"Could" is also such a unintentional signal that these are focus grouped talking points whose long term consequences haven't quite been thought through

Analytic philosophers - this is it, this is the moment that the grounding literature actually becomes relevant to something.

Apart from the unnecessary hardship this will inflict on individuals, this will be bad for integration and social cohesion, bad for the economy, and will increase irregular migration. [And, as @robfordmancs.bsky.social has shown, it's hugely unpopular and out of step with the British public]

Fighting back the far right by giving them what they want 😶 This government is morally bankrupt.

This piece by Táíwò is mandatory reading. it's a rebuke of Ezra Klein's delusional bluster, sure. but it's also a master class in deftly braiding the complexities of this moment (and our recent histories) into a compelling narrative path forward. thinking matters, and this piece shows why

Interesting to see on the other site, that the Centre for Policy Studies have already put out a tweet acknowledging the numbers that Reform have based their horrendous mass remigration policy on were incorrect...

Liquid Glass is giving me motion sickness

I had no clue the Thursday Murder Club is about NIMBYs lmao

Politico: "The Sun has seen evidence to [a US] committee submitted by Nigel Farage in which he suggests the White House should use “diplomacy and trade” in the free speech battle, which sounds like calling for Britain to be bullied into a law change." Is Farage calling for sanctions AGAINST the UK?

Another data point showing that the concern for UK Parliamentary sovereignty by Reform is fake.

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025... It's incredibly telling that Sir Rowley did not feel the need to raise similar concerns about being stretched thin when arresting pensioners for holding Palestine Action placards.

This is all becoming very dangerous and the Government's failure to show any kind of resistance to it is a disgrace www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

not sure what breunig majored in during undergrad, but as for matt y: i cannot emphasize enough how embarrassing it is for someone who studied philosophy in college to get worked this bad in an argument. yglesias has really gone downhill as a thinker.

Great summation of dynamics in @brettchristophers.bsky.social's book. Imagine a mode of production geared toward 'production for use' that could rationally plan the utilization of such solar resources instead of leaving it to anarchic (and cannibalizing) market forces.

Hard to know what to say anymore. An entire news team of five journalists. Doing their job in a tent for journalists. Killed by the IDF, who refuse to allow international journalists into Gaza. Outrageous and horrific.

I am shocked at Labour's misreading of this moment in time and the mood of the country. You've got far right groups threatening asylum sekers but they're devoting so much energy to Palestine Action and peaceful protesters.

Letter of the day (in the Times)

I cut my left thumb while cooking and had to put a plaster on it. Now I can't use it for scrolling my phone, I feel like a dog with a cone smdh.

Net-zero is cost effective (electrify everything)

But Bob Vylan?

Astonishing story. Huge questions over the company culture that allowed this. www.ft.com/content/c0e6...

So we've reached a point where management consultancies are engaged in contracts to streamline ethnic cleansing

we're living through a major, civilization-altering technological revolution and it has nothing to do with AI

Very good thread this; useful complement to my column.

Again: if this regime of "AI" was so obviously good and useful and "the future," then why would they need to trick and coerce and force us into using it? sites.libsyn.com/561135/ndaf-...

Remarkable watching the evidence pile up, and a substantial mass of high profile commentators continue to contort themselves ever more painfully in order to deny that reality is in fact reality.

The article is full of details like these:

West doesn't even offer thoughts and prayers. We're bankrupted in the eyes of the world.

Romanian government is issuing retail bonds with a preferential yield for blood donors. Has this ever been tried before? hotnews.ro/azi-incepe-f...

Man I hate the neoliberal faction. I wish we could replace it with something new
