This is such a brilliant article.

Goddamn, Slow Horses is fun. Gary Oldman is just having the time of his life

My county had no problem approving the new jail no one wants and the new Google data center no one wants while also just this week codifying 1k foot setbacks for solar farm builds, to make it harder to build the things we actually want here

"Asia is at a crossroads: while these countries haven't yet gone down a high carbon capture and storage (CCS) route, many have tailored their CCS policies to protect their fossil fuel industry, especially in Japan, South Korea and Australia," @billhare.bsky.social told The Times of India.

Excellent, well-informed new podcast! Like a ship entering a storm, we’re now entering the overshoot - a world above 1.5 degrees C #globalwarming. This requires a whole new mindset, explored by Laurie Laybourn.

I'm very concerned about all the #GlobalSumudFlotilla detainees, but especially Hannah Schafer, who seems likely to be held in extended detention in Israel. Israeli armed forces have committed grave and multiple breaches of international law in attacking the flotilla and mistreating its crew.

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

This is ridiculous. Police need to get their priorities right. Nothing is going to happen at the PA demo except people holding cardboard signs in silence. Police need to be outside synagogues protecting our Jewish community.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

@billybragg.bsky.social will send you stickers.

Portland, Oregon, is in President Donald Trump's sights—just the latest Democratic city facing increased militarization. But video shows that this "war-ravaged" Portland Trump is talking about...is all just in his head.

Keeping people in poverty is an expensive luxury. My column on the false economies of austerity, which costs us all a fortune. Despite the government's claims, austerity continues under Labour. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Stephen Miller is trying to provoke people into responding to the government's unlawful use of force because he wants his own Reichstag Fire. This is an old, and very dangerous playbook. Take video. Resist peacefully. But don't give these fascists what they want.

Sometimes I think about how from 1935-1975ish, Bell Labs produced an insane amount of revolutionary science and technology, including 11 Nobel Prizes, the transistor, UNIX, C, the laser, the solar cell, information theory, etc. The secret? Provide scientists with ample, steady, no-strings funding.

This is horrific. For the neighborhood. For the workers who have to try to put this out. For the planet. For the people who have probably tried for years to get maintenance done and been deferred by the bosses. We must have a managed, publicly controlled shutdown. We can't afford to wait.

The Trump regime looked at these maps and thought that it's totally okay to defund USAID and kill 14 million people over the next 5 years (including 4.5 million children under five) because they're not white. Trump apparently also deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

What everyone has been worried he would do if he declared Martial Law, he is now beginning to do, without declaring Martial Law. We need to react accordingly.

“The surprise job loss in September is the latest sign that the labor market is weakening. Job growth has slowed to a trickle this year…” www.wsj.com/economy/jobs...

Governors are elected to protect their citizens, and courts have already limited his overreach. Yet Trump keeps pushing to normalize militarized cities. This isn’t about safety—it’s about consolidating power. When Trump talks about “emergency powers,” alarm bells should go off.

An arrest of a person due entirely to the person having dark skin color is now known across the country as a "Kavanaugh stop," based on Justice Kavanaugh's justification of the practice. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Awesome

His tattoos say “We the People,” but his vibe screams “We the Problem.”

Hegseth said yesterday he wants to ban any symbols of “superficial individual expression” by people serving in the military. Of course, he was probably talking about dangerous things like rainbows.

He needs to be ###one!

blue states will still hold elections but Trump will not recognize the results Mike Johnson is already refusing to swear in newly elected Dem house members

Which is why everything he is doing is about not having any more elections

There is no level of cruelty that Trump and his goons will not seek to carry out.

Also Trump bitching about tax breaks in other countries killing Hollywood. The main reason California lost production is the tax breaks offered by other USA states!

Unsurprisingly, the US still wants AUKUS. Of course they would! We give them many, many billions and they don't have to give us anything!! It is a GREAT deal for the USA and UK. www.skynews.com.au/australia-ne...

much prefer Pritzker's approach to Newsom's. Yeah the Twitter posts were fun, but it's all a bit self indulgent

That feeling as a writer when you see a line that just has you going "Damn, I wish I had written that" "AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations"

“This guy gave away Afghanistan, now he wants us to drive tanks through American cities.” Look at those stone cold motherfuckers, every single one of them has at least twice the IQ of Trump, and they have to listen to this Temu Hitler.

Wild stuff — nuking a portion of your website because MAGA got mad at you for it. jewishinsider.com/2025/09/adl-...

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

Everyone should take the time to read this speech from Trump. We should not ignore just how f*cking deranged this racist sex pest is. Read it and remember it is a speech to every General in the US military www.sofx.com/president-tr...

They DID a background check. AND she declared her conflicts of interest but they STILL appointed her. And now neither she nor the Albanese Govt will share the conflicts of interest that were declared! #auspol

(44:32 – 44:46) And I told Pete we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military — National Guard, but military — because we’re going into Chicago very soon.

"And if you want to applaud, you applaud. And if you want to do anything you want, you can do anything you want. And if you don’t like what I’m saying, you can leave the room. Of course, there goes your rank, there goes your future."

Donald TrumP has just declared a civil war against the people of AmerIKa. This is a military coup d’état of US by Donald Trump and $billionaire’s brigade. #auspol @albomp.bsky.social @jimchalmers.bsky.social

American generals have been given a moment to stand up for the nation and resign. They won’t. Every institution in the USA has failed.

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s... When Trump is faced by tough, unyielding opponents, rather than soft targets, he folds. He chickens out. Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, and Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, worked this out long ago. Both men play him for a sucker.
