Thousands of companies are angling for refunds on President Donald Trump’s tariffs, many of which were ruled unconstitutional last week. Now some retail customers are joining the scrum

Trump about to announce he's creating The Supremest Court, which you can join as an associate justice by buying $11 million of his shitcoin and agreeing to adopt Eric.

@joxley.jmoxley.co.uk good to meet you at TIPS event – the Yanq from Lambeth

@johnaharrison.bsky.social assume you’ve seen my fave film review of all time

Trump said he read all the case law prior to the decision and he has great reading comprehension and there was no way he should have lost the case but the justices were political.

The government's immigration plans: a dog’s dinner of half-conceived policy, Reform rhetoric, mean-spirited sentiment, and profound intellectual muddle iandunt.substack.com/p/can-we-ext...

This is excellent from @iandunt.bsky.social on the government's proposals on settlement: unsupported by evidence, counterproductive on integration, cohesion and economic growth. As Ian says not too late for government to think again. iandunt.substack.com/p/can-we-ext...

@38degrees_uk petition re: dual citizens passport issue: The Home Office has quietly decided that from next week, dual citizens can’t enter the UK on their other passport. The alternative?

@brianbilston.bsky.social feel these questionable fortune cookie fortunes might be grounds for a poem (fr Ma La Sichuan in Pimlico www.instagram.com/malasichuan/)

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

@sturdyalex.bsky.social many happy returns! 💕 (it’s today, right?!?)

This, please.

@brianbilston.bsky.social if you are doing any impromptu flying visits to The Smoke before December, do please post ☺️😊 thx

Monetisation The advert said MONETISE YOUR FOLLOWERS so he thought he would respond by painting them in the changing light, like waterlilies in a pond.

@brianbilston.bsky.social love Typical, and just about to book six tix for your London show (reminds me of “Hicks Nix Knicks Tix” www.futilitycloset.com/2005/03/31/m...)

And one to remember how many hours each day has

Good luck to anyone starting the year with a new health regime. Here’s how mine always goes.

Just a quick heads up that some of these autumn shows will sell out over the next month or so: most likely are Oxford, Helmsley, Corsham, Bury St Edmonds, Pocklington, Bellaghy and Loughborough. Book early to ensure disappointment.

Annual reminder of how many days there are in each month.

The task for political leadership now is not just to tell the truth, but to make people care about what is true and what is not.

Petition to renationalise water: 38d.gs/tw_df @38degrees.bsky.social

Traces of a bacterium related to syphilis have been found in the bone of a person who lived in the mountains of Colombia over 5000 years ago.

well this shelling out dosh to the non-needy royals seems… suboptimal: in case others want to sign, petition calling on Prince William to end the rent on Dartmoor Prison while it remains empty and unsafe and save millions in public money: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...

There are, I promise you, still serious and important people who think that Trump is playing 3D chess — putting on an act to convince his laggard NATO allies to pony up their fare share. But stuff like this is pretty clear evidence that he's *the* immediate risk to our collective security

@sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social @mayoroflondon.bsky.social please confirm when bus info screen at Jebb Ave / Brixton Prison / 48895 / BD bus stop is being fixed as it has been broken for months now, thank you also please get @tfl moved here so I can stop logging into that toxic app Twitter

Nothing that happened today makes a single word of this out of date. In fact, what has happened makes it even more salient. And that is the benefit of having real conversations, rather than chasing the news, in order to offer the same obvious 'insight' as everyone else, like the dullest town crier.

Since launching in 2021, the James Webb Space Telescope has found hundreds of distant and apparently bright galaxies dubbed "little red dots", and now it seems they may each carry a baby black hole

@brianbilston.bsky.social happy new year and thought you’d like this, it’s beautiful and awful and picks up on some of the themes in your back-to-front poem Refugees www.facebook.com/share/v/14U2...

Latest monthly visa application figures are out. Skilled workers? Still dropping. Health & care workers? Still dropping. Slow clap.

A Dutch worker went viral after explaining to their American boss that they have a life outside work.

NEW When is an order an ‘unlawful command’? And why has Trump reacted so furiously to six members of Congress correctly stating the law? By me, at @prospectmagazine.co.uk (In which I go and look at the actual law and guidance in US and also UK.) www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th...

Who'd have thunk it?

The Hague is notable for being the only major court composed of sequential letters from "the Human League."

What makes this decline even more remarkable is that NYC has around 1.2m more people than it did in 1990.

Mamdani really hit the ground running

Happy New Year. THERE. I said it & I really mean it, even though the odds are it will be every bit as challenging & frustrating as the last one.
