European leaders have rejected the 28 points presented to Ukraine by the US. Talks in Geneva Sunday with US, Ukraine (Yermak), E3: Germany, France, UK, and Italy on top adviser level.

Marjorie Taylor Greene managed to tolerate being subjected to the sort of abuse, that she has subjected trans people to for years, for approximately one week.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

Republican Senator Mike Rounds said Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in a call to senators, confirmed the so-called 28-point “peace plan” was actually a Russian wishlist and is “not the administration’s position”. Nor is there any threat to cut off weapons or intelligence to Ukraine.

There was civilization in the Americas before the settlers arrived. The other work being performed here is to erase that and present settlement as the arrival of civilization instead of the annihilation of another

no one has even bothered trying to convince us there’s a threat from Venezuela. no weapons of mass destruction. nothing. just a war of choice because why not.

Democrats need to be demanding a select committee on DOGE and promising to do that when they take either House.

“i was shocked to discover that political writer olivia, 32, had a thing for older, powerful men” says her ex, politico chief washington correspondent and cnn senior political analyst ryan, 51

“Oh FFS, SOMEBODY has to bat!” - Travis Head, probably

gotta say neither team being able to bat makes these Ashes tests more exciting.

TIL RFK Sr had 11 children and somehow we got stuck with that one

you'd think the forced displacement of 10 million people from one of the oldest centres of civilisation in human history would get a little more news attention than beltway journalists writing essays on how Olivia Nuzzi is a genius because they want to bone her and you'd be wrong

They line up perfectly.

This might be the single funniest thing that has happened during this incredibly cursed year

While on tour promoting 'Wake Up Dead Man', Rian Johnson goes off on AI for “making everything worse in every single way.” bit.ly/47UBPfH

Ultimately, you can't demand some people's exclusion and not expect to show your "credentials" for inclusion; demand femininity be defined and policed, but only for others. That's the thing with "safe". There's no way of locking others out that doesn't also lock you in. Your fort is also your cell.

I just think Trump understands Mamdani is not someone he wants to tangle with. Too smart, too charismatic, too New York, too straightforward, too young. Easier targets elsewhere, like everyone who works for him and most of Congress. (1/2)

Mike Johnson's official bio says he has "two decades of previous experience in Constitutional law." Yet, when Trump threatens to execute Democratic members of Congress, he suddenly has no opinion. This is what shameful cowardice does to someone like Johnson and it is how he will be remembered.

the average first innings score of 395 at the Perth Stadium feels a long way away for England right now.

A producer at the pre show meeting was so proud of themselves for this question

My “TRUMP DOES NOT WANT TO EXECUTE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS” post has many people asking questions that were already answered by the post

Fetterman received a $750,000 advance for this with another $300-400,000 going to the actual writer.

Ukraine is rejecting Trump’s plan right now at the UN Security Council. ⬇️

Elon's the throat goat. That's canon now.

The whole "why do orcs know what a menu is" thing is a non-issue Hobbits are a metaphor for rural English nobility. It figures that orcs represent their hated enemy: the French.

The destruction of the entire East Wing really got through to a lot of normal people. And a lot of times when people started paying attention, they continue to pay attention

Free speech is more than me being allowed to say what I want. Everyone also has to like it and tell me I'm a smart and handsome boy

this would have been a month-long scandal in 2011

If I had a 400 seat majority in the UK parliament I would not use it to do fascism. I would use it to actually help the British people by regaining control of Tomb Raider.

Agree. In practice the reason why it won't happen is what it would delegitimise is 'Labour's 2024 election campaign and subsequent strategic choices', which are increasingly IMO the tail that is wagging the dog.

Dunno if it is just I am atypical for rarely if ever thinking about the pace or scale of illegal immigration but part of me thinks if we didn't have a government making bad policies to appeal to the Tommy Robinson's of the world people would be less inclined to go "this is a massive problem"

The New York Times obit for Alice Wong doesn’t mention Covid or Gaza It ignores two of her biggest causes because of political bias Alice fought tirelessly for Covid mitigations She fought for the people of Gaza She rightfully reminded us that the genocide in Gaza is a disability justice issue

belief in good things happening in Texas elections is a dangerous thing but so help me, I’m afflicted

Both the Budget and the asylum bill are disintegrating before they've even been formally announced. Absolutely dead government.

also it's too clever (or stupid) by half - hardly anyone thinks Labour has stuck to its promises *because it hasn't*. Raising employers NI broke a manifesto promise! Scrapping Dilnot, while barely noticed, also broke a manifesto promise. And winter fuel was seen that way too bsky.app/profile/cjte...

always good to compare your product to… tobacco. one of the mostly deadly substances in history.

I'm sure you guys are all great at shopping like normal ppl but I wish I could remind some folks: Take bags, or at least don't kick off at having to pay for one. That's been the law for 10 years now. Don't fucking haggle, you're not Indiana Jones You're not The Protagonist. Neither's your kids.

The best strategy for a Labour government is to govern like the sort of Labour government that their voters expected to see in office.

I dunno if I could probably accept it, the refugee convention not having the requirement to go to a place legally is very important and two tiers of asylum seekers seems crazy. But we can have a discussion about merits (Like maybe 10 years before permanent residency for everyone + safe routes)
