The European Union is tightening the regulatory backdoor through which US automakers have been quietly importing around 7k large SUVs and pickup trucks/year. “The revised rules, expected to launch in 2027, are designed to close loopholes that Brussels says allow unsafe vehicles onto European roads.”

I stand with trans and non binary people. This is a difficult and scary time - and the Govenrment must reject the framework. It's vital that everyone is treated with dignity and care and far too often trans and non binary people aren't. Solidarity always 🏳️‍⚧️

PTSD for readers of this novel. 😬 A thought for all those who pay the most for the slowness of the global environmental transition.

I almost applied to an anthology until I read the submission page more closely and noticed wording that implied they plan to claim perpetual exclusive ownership of the work, including reuse of the comic, film and television. DO NOT sign away your rights for a few hundred bucks.

A week or so ago, I was looking for a couple books by an author from 10 and 15 years ago and my library didn't have them. I requested them via a library form. Today I got a notification in Libby that they purchased both titles. Asking your library for writers' books is an amazing way to support us.

Reform UK wants to shut this down. If it did so, it would throw a million people out of work. Why? because it is beholden to the fossil fuel industry. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Fundamentally, we really should emphasise that Westminster has gone weird in a way that is utterly disconnected from the rest of the country.

Discrimination based on gender identity or expression is illegal in New York City. Trans New Yorkers are protected by law. Our City will protect your rights, defend your humanity and stand beside you without hesitation.

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

Everyone at 2000 AD is very saddened to hear of the passing of Sue Grant, wife to Alan and an often unsung figure in British comics. Our deepest condolences go out to her family, friends, community, and all those whose lives she touched. Photo by Kim Ayres Photography

Brexit, the grift that keeps on giving. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I don’t want fifty percent of a giant grift. I want the grifters held accountable and their ill-gotten gains returned to those they stole from.

This!!!

CSU's president Teniente-Matson frequently refers to herself as the “C.E.O.” of the university and compares herself to tech leaders in Silicon Valley...

Wow! This is a huge advance in cancer treatment. My former boss has been working on something similar for years. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

This political and cultural moment is crying out for people to plainly tell our ruling class of liars, thieves, and charlatans to eat shit. It's the fastest track to superstardom

love to dissect fox news propaganda so who is this "sports legend" backing spencer pratt in the la mayor race? someone big in la sports? is it magic? shaq? kareem? gretzky? lol no its... sinjin smith, a beach volleyball player who competed in the 1994 goodwill games and won a bronze.

The UK is getting crazier in its defense of Israel. Now it's canceling the visas of mainstream normie political pundits for criticizing the state of Israel, and investigating people for antisemitic hate crimes when they denounce Zionists who aren’t even Jewish. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/the-uk-is-...

Texans, vote for James Talarico for senate and Gina Hinojosa for governor!

Don’t listen to scientists, listen to the Candy Crush businessman, plebs

We set immigration policy trying to reflect the views of people who understand the least about what's actually going on www.economist.com/britain/2026... It's the opposite of leadership! And not what representative democracy should be about

Thinking about why women might not want to use a product that has forced itself into every software interface to confidently shout things that are wrong

And the majority of Texans have already voted for him for statewide office three times, by a straightforwardly popular double-digit margin in 2022! Perfidy and nastiness is no drawback to that state — they seem to love it. We need to admit that as a starting position to ever devise ways to beat it.

Motions concerning crime, children’s wellbeing, pensions, Northern Ireland, the King’s Speech, and even immigration have all been skipped by the Clacton MP.

Israel now occupies more of Lebanon than Russia occupies of Ukraine. But of course that's a 'good' invasion. So there is silence.

apparently Obsession is the first movie since E.T. to improve its box office haul on its second and then third weekend (pause for dramatic effect.) E.T. was 1982!!

WTF is wrong with American journalists? Not one of them has responded to him telling them they are terrible reporters with the obvious reply: "You're a fucking terrible President, so we're even."

I remember when this was supposed to be a hoax. Life was better then...

What did they do?

This is a really grim decision alongside Cenk. People often talk about dangerous road we'd go down under a Reform government - this is another clear warning we're down there already. A Labour government doing everything possible to silence criticism of the Israeli Government

Absolutely 💯 Agree….

Give it to Sally Wainwrightl

I would like a govt that acts as a safety net and leg-up for the most vulnerable in society, rather than us treating politics like a game without real consequences As we don’t have that, for my own diversion I would like leadership elections and to read loads of secret papers. We contain multitudes

“This is censorship...This is a demonstration that some of the worst abuses in our time are not confined to kings, emperors, governments … but to a class of companies that have assumed the sovereign affect, and seek to assert their power the same way that some of those despotic nation states do.”

GB News is NOT the broadcasting arm of Reform UK At least not according to Ofcom And Lisa Nandy just sits there, doing nothing

Taking a moment to appreciate the brilliance that is Widow’s Bay. Strong from the start but that last 3 episodes in particular have been top drawer. Varied in tone and performances but never jarring. Direction strong across the board.

Got a vibe from the trailer for Tuner that I was going to like it. I was right. Quality script, nothing wasted, great use of montage and music, beautifully shot and really well acted. Loved it!

It's...it's just a fucking advert for AI! TONY BLAIR DID THIS! HE MADE QUESTION TIME AN ADVERT FOR AI!

Why do the UK government and scientific institutions still host their accounts on X as their main social media messaging outlet. Why do the U.K. govt have NHS and MoD contracts with Palantir. These are the very people destroying democracy. The inertia of this historical lock in culture has to end.

This is bad. Three Washington state protesters have been found guilty of federal conspiracy charges for sitting in front of a bus taking people to an immigration detention center in Tacoma, and now face 6 years. Six others took plea deals rather than going to trial. newrepublic.com/post/211138/...
