reminder to get yourself, your organizations, and your businesses off of the fascist site for fascists

“Things are so bad that Republicans will never win an election again if they can’t figure out how to prevent millions and millions of Americans from voting.” trib.al/o7w96Pu

For shame: the @economist.com gives a platform to Alex Bruesewitz, promoter of the racist conspiracy that Haitians eat cats and dogs, one of Ali Alexander's Stop the Steal crew who tried to overturn US democracy. Media outlets that try to rehab propagandists instead sink to their level. 1/

“Tens of thousands of people gathered in soaring temperatures in Hungary's capital on Saturday to celebrate the 31st annual Budapest Pride, the first such LGBTQ+ march since Viktor Orbán, who had sought to ban the event, was ousted in an April election.” www.pbs.org/newshour/wor...

You can’t say ‘Scotland are not gonna win the World Cup’ and then put yourself forward for the manager’s job. People need to believe.

this is not why i call musk a fascist

The microcosm has even more details. He broke the pool by corruptly awarding the contract to an ex criminal friend of his.

Just perfect

When fascists talk about "freedom of speech," they mean the freedom to repeat the Dear Leader's slogan of the day.

How amazing it is to feel slightly chilly

Anyway what I was doing was trying to answer @gilesyb.bsky.social question which was roughly 'what are Putin fans like Cummings saying about the war now?' and the answer might be 'find an anecdote that shows the Russians doing something winning and amplify it'.

What a nasty mind Cummings has. Translates as 'Immigrants are rapists and they are brought here deliberately to rape people.' I really hope he has no influence on anything ever again. Maybe it's realising that he won't that has made him perpetually angry.

Oh has Dom defected - sorry, I mean changed his direct debit - ?

Too late. Your legacy is constituting an existential threat to the Party by engaging in an immoral and futile chase for Reform votes.

GOP Gov. Mike DeWine: "It is not in the United States' interest, certainly not in Ohio's interest, to have people who are working every single day, who are supporting a family, buying houses, and really are contributing, and yank them out."

X discourse on AirCon in Europe is mad. Out of all proportion to the issue and how it's come about. Feels a little like displacement activity. To distract themselves from how awful things are politically in the US they want to invent a Stalinist plot to cook people here that they escaped.

I wonder what 'the next thing' is

Not that I don't trust Mr Banker but I had to check this was true and.... Christ on a bike, the brass neck on this fella share.google/UGToAwIdibgp...

Sure, these journalists should write books. But <these> books, based primarily on withholding information from their reporting in real time, again their day jobs? I don’t get it.

Freedom of Speech Absolutists™️

Also really not helpful to use the term ‘overdraft’ which makes the govt=household analogy by subterfuge.

You have to wonder whether Blue Labour types really believe this appeasement of racism works or whether advocating it is just a cover for their personally felt antipathy to immigration .

💯

I agree with the point made here... when you can't calculate the risk, you expose yourself as an insurer to more risk by insuring... and this will mean higher premiums, less insurance, transiting to stuff being uninsurable. The state either leaves people to fend for themselves or steps in.

This is the kind of genius thinking that got him the attention of Bari Weiss.

A lot of media coverage of the ‘AI’ reading of the Herculaneum scrolls really fails to understand what’s happened here. There’s no language processing happening, the AI/ML is not trained on a corpus of texts or language. It can detect ink to see shapes. HUMAN EXPERTS are then transcribing the text.

Possibility of meeting Mexico and playing them at home at 7000ft. That is not going to go well.

On England v Panama first half: Seriously if you showed that first half to someone completely new to football and told them that one of these teams had genuine aspirations to win the World Cup, & the other had already been eliminated, could you reasonably expect them to work out which was which?

I'm watching more out of a sense of duty than joy.

He just makes everything so joyful. Joy is a seriously under-rated thing.

Alito’s standard for racial discrimination in the TPS ruling, that racism has to be the *sole* motivation to count as discriminatory, is so deranged that it could arguably cover neither Jim Crow nor slavery. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Will be interesting to see who was trading what during the delay. No doubt it gave people some time to adjust their portfolios.

For anyone in the heat who is considering getting a portable air conditioning unit, some quick advice. /1

We need them to latch onto one of those virgin crypto-state ventures.

"Asked about why she was recruiting British journalists, one ally also pointed out they were generally cheaper than their US counterparts."

I was a regular user of Facebook and was kicked off the platform without explanation within hours of my posting excerpts from Sarah Wynn-Williams' Careless People, which revealed embarrassing details from the life of Mark Zuckerberg, particularly his dealings with Chinese president Xi.

One for @t0nyyates.bsky.social which I missed at the time.

Have they contracted these probability calculations out to a sell-side researcher?

It’ll be interesting to see who will be the first among Russia’s western stooges to start arguing Ukraine needs to let up, either to be kind or to avoid “escalation”.

Didn't take long: www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Continuing the marathon clearout of my parents house. Came across this interesting cutting from a 1993 edition of the Radio Times about a programme called Two Seconds to Midnight. It predicts that in 2043 electricity will be generated by renewables and that we will use TVs for our shopping.

We got a big bump in traffic yesterday when people learned about us on NPR. Thank you to @npr.org for covering our launch and bringing our story to people's attention! And thank you to all our new followers. We can do this together! 🌍️🧪💪 #ClimateAction #ClimateForUs #ProtectScience

Yeah that’s right! I recommend you go up and write “God Bless Ireland!” right on that mural. Maybe follow it with an inspirational slogan of hope, like “Our Day Will Come” in the local language?

At some point this Government will come to its moral senses and realise that retrospectively denying people settled status/citizenship is wrong. With Reform on the horizon that moral imperative is even more urgent. It should be encouraging people to become citizens. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Reform tried to bin a council's climate emergency declaration. The vote was delayed... ...because the chamber was too hot. Even reality has started mocking Reform. 🔥 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
