The heads of Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla all joined Trump at his inauguration. Since then, largely thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill, their companies have reaped $51B in federal tax breaks — paid for by huge cuts to our social safety net. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Living in Ireland is like a monkey paw wish, you get to live in one of the most scenic parts of the world with rich culture and sound people, but you're stuck with the same FF and FG governments over and over who won't lift a finger for those who need it, you can't afford a home, and coddle exists.

The framing of „underaged women“ is a last line of defence for the Epstein club, which shows how deeply it is entrenched in society on the one hand, and how complicit society is on the other. There are no underaged women, they were trading children. Speaking out is the first step towards healing.

Good to see Kyiv Mayor Vitali Kiltschko giving Russia’s invasion the correct genocidal framing amid all the delusional talk of negotiations and compromise peace. Putin currently has zero intention of ending the war

John Lennon passed his driving test #OTD in 1965, at the age of 24 in Weybridge, Surrey, becoming the last Beatle to do so. He passed on his first attempt, driving his white Mini. The milestone was celebrated with fellow Beatles at EMI Studios, where he posed in George Martin's Triumph Herald.

Global ecosystem collapse is a real prospect. An appropriate response would be for us to restore our own ecosystems and diversify our food production. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/ou...

one day, my coworker called me at 10AM asking if i could pick him up from the hospital after a kidney stone and i was like “lmao oh boy you really don’t have anyone else to call do you” and that was also the day my odometer rolled over to BOOBS KM so anyway this is our 10th valentine’s day together

Today's #MuseumBums come from this fabulosa book cover by Paul Baker and Jo Stanley 👍🏛️🍑 Jo spoke at MShed yesterday as part of the #lgbtqhistorymonth celebrations all about the hedonistic queer paradise of the merchant navy in late 20th century! It sounds great! If you can find this book, get it! 😁

Incredibly powerful front page from the Sunday Post ‘These are the faces of the close to 200 women killed by men in Scotland over the last 16 years. Many were murdered in the one place they should feel completely safe - their own home. Today, we ask for your help in ending misogynistic violence’

Thought I’d just pass on some relationship advice my grandma once gave to me: if you’re unhappy with your partner or spouse why don’t you replace their head in every photograph in your house with a picture of your celebrity crush? x

Wow! This is some top-notch investigative journalism. The report claims the 3 million Epstein files released are only 2% of the total. The massive scale of what’s still missing is hard to comprehend.

“No country, let alone continent, will ever be completely digitally independent, and nor should they be. But by pulling together, Europe can ensure its digital systems remain accessible even in a crisis – just as is expected from its physical infrastructure.”

Well said! @elliechowns.bsky.social: "Reform, and before it the Brexit Party, and before it UKIP have been busy for many years fomenting his idea that immigration is the problem in this country. "It's completely untrue."

A perfect capture. This take is reflected in pretty much all the European reporting. In the American reporting: gibberish and delusions.

Peter Thiel desperately wants to put another publication out of business. This time it's the Swiss news magazine Republik, which published a feature highlighting the extensive security flaws found in Palantir's spyware. netzpolitik.org/2026/david-g...

Just as ICE and CBP have no legitimate role in "election security" neither does the head of DHS. The mere existence of this press conference should be a scandal, much less this tone-deaf comment.

One by one all of the opponents of release of the Epstein files have been revealed to be on the take from Epstein's co-conspirators.
