Decrypto? "the distance between current hardware and a machine capable of cracking bitcoin’s cryptography is shrinking faster than projected." www.forbes.com/sites/digita...

Absolutely disgusting comments from Reform's housing spokesperson on building regulations & Grenfell. On regulations he said 'the pendulum has swung too far' since Grenfell, adding "Sadly, you know, everyone dies in the end. It’s just how you go, right?" Labour have called for him to be sacked.

This distinction between research & writing tool is crucial, for journalism at least. That seems to me utterly intuitive and obvious. It's excessive to criticise its use in research, as long as it is carefully deployed, and barbaric to advocate its use in writing, no matter how it is deployed.

The Trump antithesis capsule! "The [ #Artemis] astronauts have just entered the Orion crew capsule, which they named #Integrity" "They chose the name to reflect the values they believe will carry them safely to the Moon and back – trust, respect, candour and humility" www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c4...

Here I am with Hungary's authoritarian leader Viktor Orban. Just two guys brought together by their shared love of Vladimir Putin.

Did you know ……

We lost a vanity war in the Persian Gulf and created a huge new problem for our allies. And now we say that it is their fault and that they must solve the problem we created.

If you didn’t see it coming, you weren’t paying attention. And he doesn’t have to do it formally to defy Congress, he can do it with actions that they can’t stop.

What a photo

"actual gas waste in 2024 estimated at three to four-and-a-half times reported levels" US gas is 60% of Europe's fossil gas... Private certification schemes are .... garbage. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

FWIW, my #England starting XI for the #FIFAWorldCup, that we probably shouldn't go to ... unless FIFA remove it from their piece-of-💩 "Peace Prize" winner 🤦 team-picker.files.bbci.co.uk/fts174283278...

The European Commission is urging people to work from home, drive and fly less, and for EU countries to urgently roll out renewables, as it warned of a prolonged energy crisis as a result of the conflict in the Gulf.

I can safely say nowhere in the NATO charter is their language that stipulates they must support a war to hide one man’s crimes against underage girls.

Farage keeps saying "renewable energy 'won't work', but it already is ... Britain is presently generating 71% of electricity from renewables & is even exporting some to boot" Our bills are so expensive is because "energy prices are set by the expensive rip off fossil fuel gas price" via Tim Longson

Maybe these need to be put on a few menus/supermarket walls. These are from the UK National Food Strategy, showing the proportion of UK land used for different things (huge for beef/lamb, tiny for crops), & where we get our calories and protein (68% & 52% from plants). The difference is staggering.

Right on time to manipulate the markets, along with a threat to commit war crimes and terrorize civilians and noncombatants.

When your own come out against you, well that’s quite something Matt Goodwin, or should I say MattGPT

Best argument for rejoining.

Howard Davies suggested the UK should join the Euro.. #r4today conversation swiftly closed by Nick Robinson.

So it turns out the real scandal of the Gorton and Denton by-election was the willingness of media organisations to collude in Nigel Farage's attempt to undermine the result of a free and fair election www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/how-the-bb...

Holy New York.

Observed Arctic Physical Climate Changes. A very clear summary of the frightening changes in the #Arctic climate, by Professor Jason Box of the Geological Survey of Denmark & Greenland youtube.com/watch?v=B9DQ...

🚨 It’s official: 2026 had the lowest annual maximum Arctic sea ice extent on record - essentially tied with last year’s record low. Climate change is reshaping the Arctic, and it's all throughout the year. For more information from @nsidc.bsky.social: nsidc.org/news-analyse...

Can anyone explain Reform using a phrase (without an abbreviation) so widely associated with such an evil individual❓🤷🏼‍♂️ I find it very hard to understand

Is it clear to everybody by now that those around Trump are humoring him about "winning" in Iran AND making up these supposed submissive messages from Iran, to get him to delay his latest disastrous plan and give them time to try to figure some way OUT of his failure?

I see people are now complaining of the cost of the PMs overseas visits...which are said to have cost aropund £4.2m since he came in to office. May I remind people that when he came in to office, he scrapped Rishi Sunak's taxpayer-funded VIP helicopter contract, worth £40m. 1/2

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

Thank you for watching Rosie Here’s the link for those who wish to see and hear these incredible women www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Reform UK said I was 'bullying' when I pointed out their colleague was jailed for beating up his former partner. Now, they're trying to sneak him back into their party. So I'll say it again: James McMurdock was jailed for beating up his former partner. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The McSweeney phone conspiracism might make sense* if losing a phone guaranteed the loss of messages. But unless you also factor in a Vardy/Johnson-style password mishap then it absolutely doesn’t. *It still wouldn’t really make sense.

This will make a much bigger difference than drilling for the last bit of methane gas in the North Sea news.sky.com/story/ed-mil...

The art of the deal.🙄

The first of Labour's Youth Hubs are now open. 80 more are to be opened right across all parts Great Britain in the coming months, with a total of 360 planned over the next 3yrs! They support young people with employment help, mental health & housing support, skills, training & careers gudiance.

Labour launched their new Pandemic Preparedness Strategy today, backed by £1bn of funding for health protection. It forms part of the government's response to the Covid-19 Inquiry Module 2 report. It demonstrates their ambition to rebuild pandemic readiness & capabilities, which the Tories cut.

Crypto donations to political parties to be banned. Good. Farage claims this is aimed directly at Reform. Good. He also says that him publicly promoting Harborne’s crypto company had nothing to do with Harborne giving Reform £9M. You’d have to be a v special kind of useful idiot to believe that.

More satisfaction with NHS today than there has been in the last seven years. That’s a hell of a turnaround in under two years. Well done @wesstreeting and @UKLabour

Delighted to hear our PM is going to ban crypto donations to Political parties. Looking forward to the outcome of the preliminary findings on Russian interference in our politics due out imminently too.

"We negotiate with bombs"

Is it the missing #EpsteinFiles ?

🔴 Hedge fund manager Jeremy Hosking has given Reform £1.7m+ Since Iran war, Hosking's fund's energy and fossil fuel investments have risen by more than $25 million Other Reform donors set to profit from the 'war premium' Exclusive by me on D4S: democracyforsale.substack.com/p/farages-fo...

Every dystopian novel I started writing and put aside over the past 20 years because the scenarios were too outlandish is just "news" in 2026.

The world’s most honest disclaimer.

It was Republican Congressman Thomas Massie who posted on X the day after President Trump launched military action against Iran, 'bombing a country on the other side of the world won't make the Epstein files go away' 👇

From 2028, no new homes will be on the gas network - and will instead be on a heat network or get a heat pump - and they must have solar panels on their roofs covering an area equivalent to 40% of the ground floor space www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"all of a sudden, a substantial sum of money was bet on oil prices dropping and the stock market rising .... more than $800 million in trades was made on oil futures. Then a few minutes later, US President Donald #Trump made a Truth Social post." www.9news.com.au/world/donald...

Breaks my heart that my 5‑year‑old is learning in school about all the ways he can protect our planet... While decrepit old fuckwits are dropping tons of bombs poisoning soil, air & water for decades to come for millions of us ...but sure, you recycle that bog roll little one.

Trump throwing Hegseth under the bus on the decision to start the war: "Pete, I think you were the first one to speak up. You said, 'Let's do it.'"
