Fun fact: I developed this very idea as a Doctor Who novel. I don't think I got as far as pitching it, though.

Ossoff: "This is what small men like Donald Trump and JD Vance and Stephen Miller will never understand. That our national greatness flows not through our blood or our genes, but through our ideas. Americans are not a race, we're a people united not by ethnicity, but by our shared convictions."

In short: Campaign like Tim Walz before the consultants shut him down.

*gesturing to locked door* my girlfriend is in there. We haven’t met face to face but she’s fluent in Chinese

it has come to my attention that busytown is anti pig

The obvious other point to make is that Parliament is a legislative body, and could clarify or reword that single point of law.

It's like the Iran War for nerds.

I've been saying for years that, as a society and each of us individually, we waste too much time and energy trying to stop birds wanking.

“He’s doing these things now because no one will honor him when he’s gone”

Going through some old boxes of books and I stumbled across my first copy of Doctor Who: The Dying Days by @lanceparkin.bsky.social. This was available on the BBC website for a while, so I copied it all into a word doc, formatted it, printed it, and had it bound. I later acquired a real book copy.

'Everyone's maxxed out their credit card' 'Oh, don't worry, the CEOs of credit card companies will be fine'.

I do wonder if the misogyny of the GOP opinion former class has mutated from a phobia of anything [they think of as] feminine into a rigid insistence on asserting [what they think of as] masculity. They've always been two sides of a coin, but ... it recently seems to have landed on one side.

The rapid rise of 'gender critical' organisations and high volume of anti-trans media coverage has been mapped for the first time by @amnestyuk.bsky.social 

Important context: the line 'Democrats are for they/them, not you' was felt to be effective for the GOP in the 2024 US campaign, so this is just witlessly following a playbook that worked for Putinistas there.

OK, they'll compromise: Trump goes on the $250 bill, but their economic policies will make us all so poor no one will actually have $250.

There's been very little pushback from the companies who planned to build data centres as state after state cracks down. Either they've come to realise there's no demand, or they never really intended to build them.

Ed Markey tears into Seth Moulton: "Massachusetts deserves better than a senator who scapegoats trans kids." The crowd goes fucking wild.

The people around him know, they must. They see this face every day.

This rules. Absolutely the funniest possible outcome. The president of the United States filling in as the headliner of a concert because Milli Vanilli canceled.

Trump’s behavior on social media today is so unhinged even by his standards that I can’t help but wonder what the doctors really told him the other day. This is a deeply unwell person.

in this video in like 4 different ways and I hate that

Losing to Iran seems to have broken the last bit of Trump's brain. This post, the Kennedy Center capitulation ... he's routed and in full retreat.

The World Cup is about celebrating exotic host nation cultures

This shopping centre is experimenting with a variety of systems of government.

Oh Ironicus, God of Irony, I do not pray to you often, but do you know what would be *hilarious*? Right? Amen. www.usnews.com/news/us/arti...

Alex Jones’ oft-told origin story is that he discovered a conspiracy in the local police and had to change schools. @jonronson.bsky.social discovered the truth- he was a violent bully, and eventually his victims beat him up, so he had to move. www.thisamericanlife.org/670/beware-t...

Wonder what Republicans would they say about Talarico if he slathered make up on his face and hands, endlessly fussed with his long dyed hair, and loved nothing more than dancing to the Village People?

If we'd taxed them, they'd have paid far less money than they're going to lose when the AI bubble bursts, but we'd all have nice things.

we can kill them all if we just work together and ✨believe💫

This new invention that's a taxi but for dozens of passengers is truly innovative, but we need a snappier name than '50-seat van'. 'You've reinvented the fucking bus, you fucking clowns' or 'bus' for short.

As part of the deal, the Kennedy Center will be allowed to enrich uranium and charge a fee for any tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz. share.google/ZXZoaYscW06L...

There's a thin line between respecting people's personal beliefs and pointing out that, wow, that's like a whole tiramisu where each layer is a different flavour of bullshit.

'Other items, of far less importance, have been agreed to' is doing a lot of work, there.

Is it a sign of hubris that they've let Stephen Miller be on telly again, or is it a sign that the people with any interest in any form of redemption post-Trump are lying low?

Democrats self-sabotaged in 2024 when they stopped talking about these guys as the weird perverts and assholes that they are. Most of the country sees people like Stephen Miller and think they're gross monsters. They will always respond well when leaders/institutions that affirm their gut vibes.

This is disgusting, and we need to figure out ways to nip this entire field in the bud.

'If women want to be educated *and* not to be sexually assaulted, then what role is left for men?' is also a tell-on-yourself thing to say.

Axios is reporting that a company 'accidentally' spent $500 million in one month on AI after failing to establish usage limits for its employees. www.axios.com/2026/05/28/a...

Cue the people who did this telling us we're imagining that everything that cost $1.99 is now $3.50, the problem is that we imagine things.

Oh no, the basilisk will get him.

Oh no, we're going to have to return this Inevitable Rise of the Machines, it simply isn't inevitabling.

But, doctor, the 100% tax on Californians who receive money from Trump's anti-weaponization fund *is* the cure for stupid.
