If only there had been another reason to decarbonise society, invest in renewables, and electrify the transport system before this crisis

Dear America, DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR PRESIDENT AND YOUR FECKLESS GOVERNMENT! WHY SHOULD EVERYONE ELSE SUFFER BECAUSE OF THIS INSANITY? Signed, Most of the rest of the planet

Foreign policy experts say the war in Iran was not necessary. A guy who beats his wife and drinks four gin-and-tonics before lunch every day says that it was. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Reform win a seat: The true Volk have spoken and we all must listen. Greens win a seat: Early reports that Muslims may have ‘voted’ (an ancient Islamic practice designed to steal elections). How severely should the franchise be limited in response?

Replacing Python as the glue for direct to GPU ML tasks is nice, but what about DOOM 2 ways: - A C implementation (based on DoomGeneric) rendered into a GPU window. - A TypeScript port of DOOM that renders into the same kind of GPU window, using Electrobun’s WGPU APIs from Bun.

The lesson of this war? Aging dictators should get out while the getting is good. by JD Vance

Nigel Farage lied multiple times at his press conference today - including saying no-one who voted Green in Gorton and Denton has a job and he's "certain" Reform won most British born voters in the by-election, based on zero evidence, and yet not a single journalist there pushed back on them

Did you know you can just come talk to the people who help shape how the web works? If you're in London, the W3C Technical Architecture Group (TAG) is hosting a panel discussion this Wednesday evening. Well worth it if you're interested in getting involved in web standards! ti.to/web-standard...

When I saw the news story about the girls school being bombed, one of my first thoughts was about how unlike American physics, Iranian physics is 50% women at the undergrad level and how some of those girls who had been murdered were going to be physicists one day

the concept of calling an ai company “far left” because they’re not allowing you to use it to spy on american citizens and implement it into war strategy

Starting a war when your ratings are in the toilet is a well-trodden path which is why I'm concerned Starmer will lemming-like push the UK into Iran as well.

Never forget who you’re fighting for.

So the two people who really really want an excuse to to be able to cancel elections just started a war? This’ll go grrreat!

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying

EXCLUSIVE: Reform UK just broke electoral law in Gorton and Denton. The party confirmed they sent out campaign materials without proper party imprint, something it insists was a mistake.

About yesterday…

It's hard to overstate how ell-organized the portland march that got gassed was... organizers made the crowd promise to be peaceful, said the march would slow in front of the ICE building but not stop, that we would stick to one chant (ICE Out). They did absolutely everything right and got gassed.

sure they’re tear-gassing toddlers but what do the polls say

Umer Khalid’s water strike starts tonight if the UK government does not enter negotiations with Prisoners for Palestine. The human body can survive, on average, 3 days without water. The genocide in Gaza continues, solidarity with a comrade risking his own life to oppose it

Great to see shOUT, the queer magazine @drwilln.bsky.social, @scottlet.org and I worked on in the mid-90s, appear in this article >> The Queer Norfolk archive was set up in 2022 by Adam Baker, who wanted to bring all of Norfolk's queer history into one place www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Hey little buddy, are you OK?

Being so centrist and melty must suck

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Happy Saturday the 13th! It’s terror, but with added brunch!

“My entire portfolio was focused on white supremacists and violent extremists. After October 7th, it was exclusively pro-Palestine.” Read @maricohen.bsky.social and @alexbkane.bsky.social's report on the state of the ADL as it faces isolation from the FBI: jewishcurrents.org/the-adl-trie...

Keir Starmer calls Sadiq Khan a “friend”. The same thing he called Jeremy Corbyn repeatedly, before purging him. Better watch out @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social!

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime. If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder. It’s that simple.

god, listening to the ads on the radio is so depressing, almost every ad is just 'GAMBLE GAMBLE GAMBLE!! BINGO!!SCRATCHCARDS!!BETTING!! DESPERATE FOR MONEY?? THIS IS THE ONLY WAY!! TAKE UP GAMBLING TODAY!!' and the only other type of ad is 'Are you in crippling credit card debt? Call us today...'
