So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10

This absolutely needs to be a campaign. The UK and the EU (Germany especially,) need to get all government business OFF of X. Start with that and charities and other organizations will follow. Come to BlueSky. Cut off the oxygen at X.

As well as “We have a World Peace Prize at home” its cursed energy is 100% “feral raccoon hands attack giant rotting arancino”.

A royal roast 🔥

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

One of the things about crypto is the sheer waste of human time, talent and computing power, let alone the money. Imagine if this level of energy had gone into something socially useful instead. as.ft.com/r/1cd4200c-b...

Quick note to anyone thinking of buying my books: please purchase the new Swift Press versions, NOT the relatively small number of Unbound versions still knocking about, & being sold by OOINYA. Unbound stopped paying me for my work early in 2024 and I will never see a penny for these books.

I think everyone needs to watch BABE again at their earliest convenience. Recharge your soul.

An excellent piece by Yasmin Khan in @theguardian.com – and I’m very relieved the preposterous case against her has been dropped. www.theguardian.com/food/comment...

Breaking news: The European Commission has proposed a loan that would leverage up to €210bn of Russian assets immobilised by EU sanctions to fund Kyiv, which would not have to repay the loan until Russia pays reparations on.ft.com/4iFKUNi

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

In honour of its proponents, I suggest that the Dmitriev-Witkoff proposal should henceforth be called the Dim-Wit Plan

Holy shit! This is what I'm talkin' about. David Clayton is running for congress in North Carolina's District 5 against MAGA Republican Virginia Foxx — and this is how he introduced himself. 🙌💪👏✊️👇

Google defaulting all Gmail users to a setting that enables Google to harvest all your emails into chatbot training is straight-up evil and invasive.

You should be paying attention to Tennessee. The congressional race in the state’s seventh congressional district, which includes Nashville, is where cracks in Trump’s base are starting to show.

My favourite story about a member of the German Imperial Military Cabinet

Joint Statement from Goodlander, Slotkin, Kelly, Crow, Deluzio, and Houlahan

Earlier today, I was notified that someone was at my door. This is who it was:

(this is a supportive QT) I have been getting these messages for 20+ years, and in last 2-3 years, they have moved from "innocent keen slight nutter" to "do not let this guy within 1000 ft of schools or zoos." People have become deranged with AI and an utter lack of mental health care.

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey. This isn’t controversial. A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

This mural has gone up in Kingston, ostensibly for Christmas but AI has ensured it's actually to celebrate the return of our dark lord Cthulhu

POV: you are a young woman celebrating a recent academic success

At 3AM, November 17, 1973, "The Colonels" sent a tank crashing through the gates of the Athens Polytechnic. It had been occupied by students protesting the fascist junta. Dozens died, mostly teens, 20s and one boy of 5. Over 2,000 were injured. The protests it sparked brought down the dictatorship.

There is no reason why this should have made me laugh so hard a bit of gas escaped.

The BBC is the biggest thump of soft power the UK has and its reach and influence to the benefit of the country is extraordinary. Destroy it, hugely damage the UK. The same people who helped weaken us over Brexit are seeking to do it again.

Extremely interesting

This entire thread is art

Brilliant.

As a TV licence payer I would like to give the BBC my permission to say fuck off to Trump.

In response to some of the comments: If you agree with *all* the reporting of a news organisation that is both independent *and* non-partisan, then it's very unlikely to be independent and non-partisan. This is true regardless of your politics. Agreeing with all its reporting is the wrong test

Love being reminded to do this every year. It's a win/win all round
