🇧🇪 #BREAKING | Protestors are blocking Belgium's Ministry of Foreign Affairs to condemn the Israeli illegal interception of the Sumud Flotilla 👇

Brilliant!

Well, if this isn't the most astrologically coherent headline I've seen in a while. The largest nuclear reactor in Europe was blocked by an invasion of jellyfish, just as the Moon joins the North Node and Saturn & Neptune conjunct in Pisces, opposing Mars and squaring Uranus at 1° Gemini.

This is one of the best ideas I've heard in ages.

For anyone who thought the automated stuff was in anyway intelligent - it is not It is a poor aggregator at best and dangerously misleading at worse

"The Israelis don't want us to film out of the window at the devastation inside Gaza. But I've spent 10 mins looking at it with my own eyes and I can tell you communities in the north of Gaza, that I knew well, are flat. There's nothing left of them." Jeremy Bowen www.bbc.com/news/videos/...

All the media energy focused on Trump and the only real value is to point and mock to break up the serious news. He’s an attention sink for all the truly sinister people standing in the shadows behind him. And he’s such a narcissistic goon he has no idea he’s being played.

The AFP Journalists’ Association issues statement: “Since AFP was founded in August 1944, we have lost journalists in conflicts, we have had wounded and prisoners in our ranks, but none of us can recall seeing a colleague die of hunger. We refuse to see them die.”

Why is nobody talking about this? www.politico.eu/article/russ...

Er, how about NO? Bye bye WeTransfer. It was good while it lasted.

To be clear, I abhor the way immigrants are being treated in the US right now. But I'm simultaneously appalled by how many people find it normal that they work as slave labour for peanuts. America is so dysfunctional.

I don't see how the government of any other countries can contemplate any sort of an alliance or trade deal with the US as long as this monstrous administration remains in place.

Take note.

BREAKING: Iran surrenders after Trump threatens to serve as their president for four months.

Allez les Bleus !

Crazy storms across North-west France tonight.

🌲Ed Sheeran explains to Louis Theroux that he dislikes private jets and prefers trains because "I like the environment, I like trees." We know that this type of messaging from celebrities is hugely impactful. We need far more of this from more stars. As posted by @nowthisimpact.bsky.social

I love this one. I would have liked poetry more in school if some of it had been like this. Lol

“Thousands of newly obtained documents show” that the founders of Clearview AI—which is backed by Peter Thiel—“always intended to target immigrants & the political left. Now their digital dragnet is in the hands of the Trump admin.” This is incredible reporting by @lukeobrien.bsky.social, 4/2025 1/

Just your regular reminder that governments getting into bed with Palantir is not a wise move.

Seeing Blatten buried again and again, from every angle... Properly staggering! 😮😱

Bring it on, bitch.

The comments on this thread are spot on.

Watching America reduced to the needy lapdog of this preening fascist is truly horrific.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

This is what they call a historic turning point “The independent forecaster Frontier Economics reckons that the impact of US tariffs will shrink UK GDP by 0.7%, while a deeper deal with the EU could instead lift GDP by 1.5%, despite US tariffs” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A shocking one in four women with ADHD commit suicide, but sure, let's label it 'a trend'.

My daughter has just come back from a MAGA stronghold in the US. She was flabbergasted that there was nothing on the news about the protests, and nobody seemed the slightest bit interested in the tariffs.

This, from Senator Chris Murphy. Trump's tariffs (& other actions) don't make economic sense because they were never intended to be economic policy. They are designed to keep him in power, and to dismantle US democracy. youtube.com/shorts/Vib5F...

This is an excellent, timely, and unfortunately vital watch: youtu.be/cXR5HLodsT8

America take note. France knows how to deal with corrupt politicians. #marinelepen.

Morning Bluesky. Only 14% of Brits think the country should align more closely with Trump America. The majority believes closer ties with Europe is the way to go.

One thing is now certain. The US are not trustworthy partners.

There is an alternative to Government welfare cuts - a 2% tax on wealth. There is no shortage of money here, we just need a fairer approach to tax - take more from the few not the many.

WTF OneDrive?!!

Nothing better than being forced to update Windows the night before you're scheduled to travel to have the update get botched and the laptop unworkable. Yay.

Dear Microsoft. At this point I'm beginning to think of your Windows 11 updates more like a bug. Please let me store my files where I want to. You know, on my hard drive, on the computer or backup disk which I own, where I put them, where I can find them. Or on any damn browser I opt to work with.
