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

If you call autism a "crisis" you automatically lose the right to talk about autism. Those are the rules.

Parroting government-approved information is not reporting; it's disseminating propaganda.

Forskningen är entydig: ekonomisk utsatthet slår hårt och långsiktigt. Barn i fattiga familjer mår sämre, presterar sämre i skolan och får svårare att etablera sig på arbetsmarknaden. Fattigdomen försvinner inte när bidragen stryps, den fördjupas, och med den växer skammen.

There's so much to unpack -- his childish understanding of the world, his raw nerve of grievances, his sociopathy -- but I can't get past what a whiny, pathetic loser you'd have to be as president to stamp your little feet and cry that the media isn't "allowed" to be mean to you. Mom said so guys!

David Frum on Jimmy Kimmel: "This is not cancel culture because it's not culture. It's state repression. It's an order from the government. Here is the script, you must read, if you do not read it, you will be taken off the air."

“The most frustrating thing about.. this moment has been the wildly inadequate political reaction to the hate crimes and racist intimidation.” “Racism is unacceptable – and deeply unpatriotic.” Starmer - and the rest of civil society - must say so. Loudly. takes.jamesomalley.co.uk/p/this-is-en...

Brian Kilmeade stated homeless individuals who are resisting mental health treatment should be given "involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill ’em." This weekend, there was a mass shooting of a homeless encampment. It barely made a blip on the news. www.startribune.com/shooting-sou...

Lib Dem leader Davey: “The Government needs to block any future contracts with Tesla, and block Musk from being granted a license to supply energy to British homes “Ministers should make clear that if you are egging on violence on the streets of the UK, you are not someone we can do business with.”

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

Exciting clean energy breakthrough if you missed it: Finland launches world's largest sand battery in Pornainen! 13m tall, stores 100 MWh of renewable power as heat in sand at 450°C for weeks. Heats homes/offices/schools, cuts CO2 by 70% vs old woodchip plant. www.independent.co.uk/tech/sand-ba...

When you live in a gerrymandered state, you can’t just vote better. That’s the point of gerrymandering. To take away your vote and voice. To silence you.

There is no real problem of the boats. It is a political and journalist-driven fiction. Immigration to the UK has been falling. The numbers of far right protesters have been very very small.

US, UK, Sweden (and elsewhere) - so many people seem to convinced their lives will be better if politicians make life shittier for other people.

You only need a Department of War if you intend to go to war...

Klimatfrågan ligger i topp när Ipsos frågar väljarna vad de är mest missnöjda med hos regeringen. Med tanke på den synpunkten blir det ännu märkligare om Socialdemokraterna fortsätter låtsas som att frågan inte existerar. Blir intressant att följa. www.dn.se/sverige/hoge...

Nigel Farage and the UK Reform Party? Really UK? REALLY? Seriously, what the hell? Have you learned nothing from the United States dumpster fire incompetent Nazi corrupt clown show? Or even just from your own Brexit disaster? You really want to look at ALL that and say “we can do even worse?

"Polling shows that opinion on immigration tracks tabloid coverage much more closely than actual immigration levels. People become more concerned not when the number of immigrants rises, but when the press fearmongers about it more." www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/709...

I see that we are about to do the thing whereby we start saying “yeah, that air strike/proxy war/assassination was bad BUT this is different” and I can only discourage it. The U.S. should not be murdering people. Full stop.

More right wing nonsense in Sweden

"And while we have right wing politicians pointing at the small boats, we should actually be pointing at the private jets and the private yachts.” @zackpolanski.bsky.social is on point.

”Emissions from the wealthiest 10% in the United States and China led to a two- to threefold increase in heat extremes across vulnerable regions.” #Inequality www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Okay. I just came back to this and you aren’t calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be

Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.

60 years to fix this and emissions are still rising. #DarwinAward

This is an important point from @anandmenon.bsky.social, neither stated nor heard often enough.

The last time troops policed America was in the 1770s. We fought a revolution against that king, and wrote into the Constitution the Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments to prevent it from ever happening again. Pass it along…

The world needs to halve emissions every 5 years to meet a 1.5C target. Last year Sweden increased emissions with 7% 😕. How are things going where you are?

Google’s growth was already accelerating, but between 2023 and 2024, the rate of growth doubled. If this isn’t the impact of the company’s new generative tools, then what the hell is it?” ketanjoshi.co/2025/08/23/b...

Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".

Every one of these protests is a terrifying experience for the asylum seekers - the wider atmosphere in the country is horrible & Labour’s reaction craven. But it’s worth remembering how much of this is generated by politicians & media openly desperate for broad unrest which simply isn’t happening

Industrial heat is a climate + health blind spot. New study says swapping ~33,500 industrial boilers for heat pumps could: - Save $1.1T in public health costs - Avoid 77,200 premature deaths (2030–2050) - Prevent 33M asthma attacks, 13M lost school days, 3.4M lost work days - Cut 1.6B t CO₂ by 2050

Lower speed limits. They’re not just for safety anymore…

One of the oldest known musical instruments: a Palaeolithic flute made from a vulture bone some 38,000 years ago! This is one of 8 known flutes found on the Swabian Jura. The finds suggest that music played an important role in this region. 🧵1/2 📷 me #archaeology #music 🏺

"The United States paid nothing for these Shares" is an interesting way of describing "the U.S. released $8.9B in CHIPS funding intended for Intel in exchange for $8.9B in stock." Perhaps Congress could've demanded shares for CHIPS money, but POTUS adding this ad hoc is simply unconstitutional.
