A mass walkout of the UN General Assembly as Netanyahu prepares to speak.

I’d support identity cards if every ten times you got yours checked, you could swap it for a complimentary identity.

Politics is now a choice between people offering real solutions to imaginary problems, or people offering imaginary solutions to real problems.

A key thing is to make sure this works for people who don't have a smartphone: most digital stuff is fine for most people. The hard bit is not excluding those without, who are also often vulnerable in other ways too.

It's also worth noting that Torsten Bell - ex of this particular parish - knew this to his core, yet sat there on the flipping tellybox defending NOT lifting it. If the people who do this research and lobby for this change then go into government and...do nothing...where do we stand? I don't know.

It does not need a team of analysts from Deutsche Bank to interpret this...

Me too, Door. Me too.

oh bravo @privateeyenews.bsky.social 🏆

they're not even bringing a knife to a gun fight. they're bringing one of those joke guns which fires out a hankie reading "Bang" except it doesn't read "Bang" it reads "he's right, vote for us", this metaphor doesn't work at all I know I'm just really fucking mad okay

There's never a box to tick for I Am A Robot.

Insisting we use our “common sense” rather than “watching a well researched documentary” or “investigating the publicly available data” is a way of creating a malleable electorate who can be pushed around with punches to the gut. I’d love the gut punches to be in the service of something noble.

This programme of "bonkers signalling" will be ramped up gradually to the point where - at the general election - Farage will pledge to eliminate all crime by removing all remaining people from these islands.

A man genuinely came up to me on the street and said the Fabians were part of a new world order of control. Baffling that they can fit it in between pamphlets on prison reform.

The amygdala is the part of the paleomammalian hindbrain that responds to panic and threat stimuli by raising legitimate concerns.

'The Annunciation', light on Stob nan Cabar. Over a decade ago but still get goosebumps thinking about this day, a brief ray of light puncturing the heavy skies to illuminate the glistening flanks of Buachaille Etive Beag #Scotland #GlenCoe #Highlands www.damianshields.com

Dammit, the link card didn't include the photo.

Carrying my kid's scooter back from school this morning, I snapped this little guy - casually waiting for a child to come running down the path.

This is clearly a photo of a man stuck in a cage with a tantrumy toddler with a loaded gun with the safety off. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Autumn is slowly making its way to the Netherlands. Can't wait to work on my Mushrooms in their Natural World Series again next month.

Crimson sunset in Greenland… And yes, that’s from same sunset as last posts 😉.

Has Farage just admitted that Reform are no different from the Tories? It really could not have been clearer that he wants voters to put the Tories right back into government again.

Man resigns from job* *Other speechwriters are available

Andor is astonishing television, not least because it now feels like topical journalism

We need to talk about the threat X poses to our shared values as a country. This is bigger than just one platform: it’s about the way our democracy is being reshaped by an engagement model that rewards outrage above all else. 1/7 www.politicshome.com/news/article...

Vaccines are battle training for your immune system. If you could give it intel on the enemy, why would you withhold that? Give me ALL the vaccines! I want to be prepared for everything!

Didn't catch the total eclipse (below horizon/the too much cloud) but eventually saw the partially eclipsed moon. And a plane flew past at an opportune moment :) #TotalLunarEclipse

Election next week. Governing Centre left party in Norway spent most of its term trailing in the polls, including a stretch in third place behind both centre right and radical right. Now posting large leads with days left. 4 years is a long time. Campaigns can matter. Polls can change

Nice move to have a cabinet reshuffle while Faridge is making his big speech.

Wow - a brilliant analysis of productivity for coders with AI tools showing - as most of us have found - that LLMs are making absolutely no discernable difference to productivity in software development. substack.com/inbox/post/1...

On the Guéhi thing at Crystal Palace: 1) You sign a 5-year contract and you give up control* 2) £35m is a lot to keep an unhappy defender and ambitious manager for 1 year** 3) Parish is probably the best chairman the club has seen #cpfc

I read the headline and wondered if they have been reading your books? @aptshadow.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...
