Today in 1983 Stanislav Petrov saved the human race. On duty at the Soviet early warning command centre, he refused to warn superiors of radar reports of an incoming US strike. It proved to be a false alarm. If the Soviets had responded it would have been all out nuclear war.

already seeing plenty of people saying “if the fascists get in it is all the fault of those left wing purists who failed to vote Labour” - find a little time to ask, what have Labour done that has made even those who held their nose when voting before find themselves unable to vote for them again

Bubbly bubble bubble bubbly

Kind of feels like a big deal that a Reform/Brexit Party former MEP has been convicted of taking bribes to promote Russian interests in Ukraine, and it feels like a bigger deal that this isn’t being treated as the major scandal that it clearly is.

The kind of leader needed everywhere.

Thank God someone finally said this. I have two autistic kids who are kinder and cleverer than Trump will ever be.

Working where I do you’d think many had received this exact advice.

Got all the minis today but thought the book for included 😭 bought the digital copy and the physical one is due tomorrow.

Even if true, if you adopt radical behaviours, radical reactions happen. This should be obvious.

Donald J Trump IS a sinister event 🤢🤬🤢

If you don't want to be called a Nazi, maybe you could call off the Brownshirts.

All the lols

And the yawning depths of inadequacy and smallness.

As indeed to varying degrees of subtlety the entire right wing of politics does about everyone and everything. Get people to blame each other and absolve government of any responsibility.

I assume that we won't get Surgeon General reports about the epidemic of white men shooting people and sociological studies about where their fathers are?

…porny.

Ouch. But also…yeah.

As predicted, all that’s happened is it’s hyper-charged his messaging and guaranteed a bigger audience for him. Putting aside how obviously morally bankrupt it is/was going after him in the way they did, on a solely strategic level it was deeply stupid. Which I suppose proves what we already knew.

They’ve got their false narrative. They don’t care about the truth.

You'll notice Charlie Kirk is not mentioned

Yes. Bragging about running a criminal racket.

Yep.

Good if true but…he’s all over the place. He has mayfly views.

god just told me that he would’ve raptured you too but the prep u were doing gave him the ick…… he says, and this is a direct quote, “no thirsty bitches 😂😭😂😭”

To ‘ultra-crepidate’ (19th century) is to lecture others on subjects you know very little about.

a liberalism that treats procedure and process as more important than respecting and maintaining the fundamental rights of individuals is not liberalism imho.

Yes yes it’s definitely Kimmel and the likes who lack grace, empathy and healing of course.

statistic of the day

He will make the US hated by EVERYBODY.

“Trump the child killer” is going to be an awful headline. And we already know many Americans simply don’t care about children being killed anyway.

People are making Rapture jokes like there's no tomorrow

If you untie your belly button your bum falls off.

And to think of what they said about the Biden debate. The nation of the brainwashed.

Thing is if he comes back on air he will likely slate Trump even more and get more publicity and watchers for it! Conversely if he doesn’t, it would confound accusations to Disney about repression of free speech! What a total mess Disney have made for themselves. All self-inflicted and cowardly.

Congratulations to Mr Trump for apparently having passed some form of medical qualification. The things you don’t hear in the news, eh.

Here's the thing: I ran the experiment. We have the results. You can no longer say that doing this would hurt the trans community, because I did it anyway and now we know that the right backed off while ordinary Americans vibed with it.

Aliens. Whom for the sake of traceability I welcome (dear leaders).

😂

You don't have to mourn people who despised you and wanted terrible things to happen to you. Hard to believe that this needs to be said but apparently it does.

The life and death of Charlie Kirk and the response to it is the fastest case study of the difference between history and memory that I have ever seen develop.

Elon Musk did this

This is why it was completely insane for Dems to laugh off the Twitter purchase. We created a forum with practically every single political and media elite all in the same room together hearing the same things, and then we turned it over to a far-right oligarch

This is amazing, in a horrible way

pinpoint-accurate thread

this goes hard as fuck and her vocals are fire youtu.be/0JrlKcoD1Qw...

lot of people immediately able to grasp why this is bad still making excuses for posting on twitter

Indeed, in the same way as negative freedom could be anarchy. But positive freedom is still freedom.

The problem with the Ezra Klein view of the world is it's based on the existence of a centre-right and centre-left willing to find common ground. Authoritarians aren't interested in common ground, just power.
