Hi, this is your handler from the government, to maintain your state gifted perks we’re going to need you to post this. No, it’s not optional.

This is what is happening. It is cynical. It is strategic. It is organised. It is well funded. And we need to pay attention. The far right - and their cheerleaders, mimics, tribute acts, and handmaidens have identified two presentational frameworks that give them cut-through and traction. 1/7

The whole storm-battered maritime saga of The Mersey Pirate is here... timworthington.org/2020/05/22/f...

The contrast in reporting these stories is nuts, right? It's not just me?

Motherfucking wind farms…

Before you start sharing your screen: Ctrl + L, Shift + Enter will open the current URL in a new Egde window; so, no one can see you have more than one tab open 😉

Btw, if anyone else is a tab hoarder like me - reminder than in Edge and other chromium base browsers, pressing CTRL + SHIFT + A will bring up a searchable list of all your tabs, and the ones playing audio/media will be at the top

Use your critical thinking skills, folks, and don't fall for the propaganda.

"How Hitler Dismantled a Democracy in 53 Days: He used the constitution to shatter the constitution." The WH felon is doing just this to us: using the power of our government to destroy it. No answers in this piece. It's up to us. Important article. Gift link. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

This week’s Substack from @carolecadwalla.bsky.social is urgent & chilling - well worth your time. (Especially if you’re still giving money to the Guardian) open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Always read the EULA

@carolecadwalla.bsky.social @peterjukes.bsky.social this may be of interest. journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10.... Dutch scholars Petter Törnberg and Juliana Chueri show disinformation is a specific tactic of far-right extremists rather than spread over the spectrum

3d printed a wireless Amiga style tank mouse! Used the Bambu wireless mouse maker kit (£3 from AliExpress) and a print file from Maker world. Is it ergonomic? No! Is it awesome? Yes!

Have a horrible feeling I might be cultivating the same horrorshow timeline I had on Twitter by following similar topics. Hey ho. At least the comments are less Far Right I guess for now...

This is a scary statistic but also a good example of how neoliberalism benefits from creating wedge issues and division in order to damage a country and divert power to fascism/corporate control. And that's a sentence that I feel sad writing as a few years ago it would have sounded like paranoia.

The German weekly Die Zeit has compiled a list of suspected acts of Russian sabotage and hybrid warfare all over Europe since the invasion of Ukraine. www.zeit.de/politik/ausl...

I wouldn't disagree but it's more likely it's a deliberate effort to destabilise the UK gov, move the Overton window even further to the right and to use racist tropes to fan the far Right whilst simultaneously stirring up normal thinking people. Manufacturing wedge issues allows him to profit

Can't believe Just Stop Oil caused all this mayhem 😡

Happy new year everyone. I'm celebrating by clearing up the aftermath of my Roomba wiping cat shit all over my carpet.

Just the actual fucking Boy George appearing at the Lottery Winners gig tonight in Manchester, amazing

Me: It doesn't have a tail, so I'm pretty sure it's a hamster. Tech support: *sigh* Fine. Right click on your hamster...

This week the Guardian's owner, the Scott Trust, gifted the 233-year-old Observer to Tortoise Media. This isn't just a dark day for journalism, it's a sign. Meet the team. This is Putin giving Tortoise's energy advisory board member an 'Order of Friendship' medal in 2017. 1/

Astonishing to see such a detailed view of a scene I was in a small way part of covered like this in the NYT. Props to @davehaslam.bsky.social as always.

Doing my bit to publicise this.

Diving into Kendrik Lamar's new album. Let's see what this is all about

I agree this is WTAF levels of shithousery but part of me is thinking "he's never met Andrea Jenkins"...but then again all this neoliberalist fucks need are useful idiots I guess

#UkrainianView #StandWithUkraine Dear Western friends, kindly take note here, regarding the goals of russian propaganda. Fear, uncertainty, doubt, post-truth, “can’t trust anyone”, “whataboutism” - are all part of their usual toolbox. Remember, a lie repeated 1000 times sinks in. Stay focused.
