Maryn Charlie’s ''Hit By Lightning'' (from her third EP ''Threads'') talks about the longing to be seen, not for validation, but just to know you exist in the world. #music #musicsky #newmusicfriday #womeninmusic #pop #indie #musicblog lefuturewave.com/2026/04/24/m...

16 years of disastrous austerity from Tory and Labour governments has underminded our public services. We need real investment, not scapegoating of immigrants and asylum seekers.

The last time Secretary Lutnick appeared before the Senate, I pressed him on his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. On Feb 27th, @merkley.senate.gov & I sent him a letter asking him for certain records and to answer questions. He did not respond. The American people deserve transparency.

Are you 1 of the ~9 million Americans in a state where your legislators banned the sale of your precise location data? Say goodbye to that protection! The SECURE Data Act allows the sale of your location data w/ consent. Don’t want to consent? Too bad, you can’t use the app. Hope you didn’t need it!

NEW: A republican judge has blocked the redistricting effort in Virginia, invalidating yesterday's vote. But it's a pause, not a defeat. Read more here: www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

We could just ... not let them do this.

This is *essential* reading from Tim. Leaving Neverland has been deleted from HBO, but no one who has seen it can ever think about Jackson the same way again - no matter how much his estate wishes otherwise.

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces. 249 years later, we have this idiot.

Texas extremist Chip Roy’s ‘MAMDANI Act’ is a new low in nativism. It would denaturalize socialists and other citizens whose political and religious views he dislikes, radically redefining what it means to be American.

Ed Miliband today: "The era of fossil fuel security is over and the era of clean energy security must come of age....To ignore two crises in less than five years would be completely irresponsible… our action must now be faster deeper and more wide ranging.”

NEW: In a scathing ruling describing RFK Jr. as an “unserious” and “unsafe” leader, a federal judge in Oregon issued an order that will protect doctors and hospitals, and the transgender kids they treat.

xAI promised to cut “whatever was unnecessary” to make delivery of AI as efficient + cost-effective as possible Apparently, people's drinking water is considered "unnecessary" In the billionaire mindset, people's survival is secondary to relentless pursuit of profit

Cold-blooded murder. Everyone giving or carrying out these orders must be prosecuted, full stop. Trump may enjoy executive immunity, his accomplices do not: the depraved disregard for human life exhibited by those perpetrating these murders must not go unpunished.

Monstrous evil

This is monstrous. Just profoundly shameful behavior by our government. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/w...

clashmusic.com/features/self-reclaimed-crystal-murray-interviewed/ We love her latest EP Numb Enough. She has a Bandcamp if not a vinyl release.

Perplexity’s CEO is just the latest tech leader to tell the public their jobs will be sacrificed on the altar of the glorious AI future. It’s a compelling narrative, but it distracts us from the real impact of AI: not to take the human out of the loop, but to take away their power and cut their pay

Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates. Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them. The system is rigged.

The fact that every major police union endorsed Donald Trump is under appreciated in our political discourse.

Hungary must arrest Netanyahu if he visits, Magyar says Israeli PM Netanyahu, wanted by the International Criminal Court, is due to visit Hungary later this year.

The task of de-Trumpification of science and public health will take a generation and a "Marshall Plan" to rebuild. Without a bold, expansive vision to guide us, there is no coming back. Small-bore, poll-tested versions of the future will not help us. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

On multiple occasions Patel’s security detail had difficulty waking him because he was seemingly intoxicated, according to info supplied to DOJ and White House officials. A request for “breaching equipment”was made because Patel had been unreachable behind locked doors

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars. We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director. Please stand by for more.

Measles has been spreading in the US, reaching infection levels not seen in decades and threatening the country’s elimination status. Some anti-vaxxers are now changing their minds. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil. It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.

Emails released on Monday by California’s attorney general show Amazon allegedly colluding with other companies to raise the prices of pet treats, khaki pants, eyedrops and other products sold online

We've been waiting for this project for over a year. All merch is on The Onion Store: store.theonion.com?srsltid=AfmB... Story: www.cnn.com/2026/04/20/m...

Folks, please read @stacyfmitchell.bsky.social's whole thread, if not the article. (Her writing is very clear and easy to follow.) What Amazon is doing is nefarious and much more effective than that one post can explain. They effectively smother other competitors.

House Judiciary Dems will soon launch an investigation on this. Stay tuned.

Bridget Phillipson will introduce new laws to make it possible for Universities to be fined millions of pounds if they don't silence students who protest bigots invited onto their campuses. It's like the Tories never left office.

Netanyahu claimed last week that Magyar invited him to Hungary. Today Magyar said that Netanyahu will be arrested if he enters Hungary: “I made it clear to the Israeli PM — we will not back down... If a state is an ICC member and a person who is wanted enters that territory, they must be detained”
