Do you remember that very night -- the night before the day of all days, four years ago? How many of us didn’t sleep at all. We sat in the dark in silence, in front of our laptops, refreshing news feeds.

I hope this is the time that the insane capabilities and low cost of these robots breaks out into mainstream. The Unitree g1 is $16k, its cheaper than your car.

WHERE AM I WEDNESDAY

🧵1 Following a petition signed by 114,659 people, today (16:30-18:50) Parliament held an excellent debate on Russian influence in UK politics. MPs I'll list in this thread know, offered details and remedies. Full debate starts 4 mins in: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXlk... +The Citizens live notes ⏬

Another bit that hasn't received much attention is who Epstein visited in Moscow (and just how many times he went). In one case it was, and I kid you not, the association of veterans of a KGB/FSB special ops unit called Vympel. Links etc in the thread. bsky.app/profile/0xcd...

Let’s start with Epstein’s visits to Russian intelligence agencies. In one of his Russian visa applications, Epstein listed “MOO Vympel” as the organization to be visited. Vympel is a special forces unit of the FSB/KGB, and MOO Vympel is its veterans’ organization. 4/23

I went to a Pilates class yesterday after skipping more than a month and now my bum is so sore I can barely sit on it! Can I dispel the notion that Pilates is in any way 'easy'. It's a serious workout and the women who do it regularly have insane core strength relative to their body weight.

I just signed a petition calling for an urgent investigation into Peter Mandelson's dealings with Palantir. Did he use his position as UK Ambassador to benefit the US spy tech firm? Sign now: www.foxglove.org.uk/campaigns/ma...

‘Can cork man stay afloat?’ was right there.

Epstein very upset that George Osborne was blocking "my boy", Jes Staley, from becoming CEO of Barclays. Osborne didn't know the half of it. Staley seems almost as close to Epstein as Mandelson was.

Elizabeth, a 10-year-old Minnesota girl, spent a month detained at the ICE facility in Dilley, TX before her release last night w/ her mom. Dilley now has a measles outbreak and hundreds of other kids remain detained. Elizabeth has flu-like symptoms and her mom has hives, a school official told me

Peter Mandelbrot. It’s just infinite scandals the more you zoom in.

Just how many minutes did the Today programme devote to gushing coverage of Melania, a film which nobody is going to see at the cinema, without mentioning that one salient fact?

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions. It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

It is amazing how much a person has without realizing it in ordinary life. We used to take the warmth of radiators or the ability to simply wash with warm water for granted. This winter, these small things have become a luxury...

NHS England: “It will not be possible to halt the spread of a new pandemic virus, and it would be a waste of public health resources and capacity to attempt to do so.” This has got to be one of the most 🤯 things I’ve ever seen written down in an official document.

For this and their involvement in the Gaza genocide, Palantir must be banned from all public procurement in the UK

Gentle reminder that Farage has similar plans for the UK. I'm pretty sure when the BBC published this in August 2025, they did so thinking it would be wildly popular. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I have muted 'Burnham'. May unmute once he's an MP.

This is outstanding

Is there a single recorded interview with Morgan McSweeney anywhere on the internet?!

@drjademcglynn.bsky.social talking about her new report, 'Thresholds of Survival: The Resistance in Occupied Ukraine' www.csis.org/analysis/thr... My grandad was sent to a Nazi concentration camp for a two-letter graffiti and listening to foreign radio. Horrifying that it's happening once again.

Hemmed in between two people coughing heavily on a two hour train to London/ with of course no opening windows. They are not wearing masks of course. I wish we would collectively start calling it what it is- antisocial behaviour. Stay the f^ck home if you have a cough, or 😷

The Omeleto channel on YT is *outstanding*. Short films, but many absolute gems that get stuck in my head for days and even months afterwards. www.youtube.com/@Omeleto/vid...

Yep, 'må gå' in Norwegian means 'must go'. Also has the audio. translate.google.com?sl=no&tl=en&...

I've looked at the weather forecast for Minneapolis and... now I understand the jokes about ICE not being ready for ice. I thought they meant like -5 °C or -10 °C tops, not -25 °C. THAT'S INSANE. www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5037...

Among the items Israel restricts are drainage equipment, heaters and solar equipment, and reconstruction items such as cement and timber, many of which are classified as “dual-use” items.

Fortune 500 companies that have contracts with ICE: -Amazon -AT&T -Booz Allen Hamilton -Caci -Charter Communications -Comcast -Dell -Ecolab -FedEx -General Dynamics -L3Harris -Motorola -Thermo Fisher -UPS Know who profits from Trump's cruelty.

On the one hand, the obsession with Greenland suggests they spend all their time looking at the size of countries on a map On the other hand, the belief China is going to be taking Greenland by force suggests that they've never seen a map in their lives

I'm not saying that all financial institutions are casinos, but some are surprisingly honest about it. Shaftesbury Avenue in London (location chosen as if to underline the point?), photo from Google Street View. Randomly spotted while googling the history of the Bank of China.

Just want to say thanks to everyone out there filming ICE. Without all these videos, the tyrannical Trump administration could lie to us & we wouldn’t have the evidence to refute their claims or to even know we are being gaslit. These folks are risking their lives to do real service for democracy.
