If this actually happens, it may rank as the single most corrupt act in the history of American politics. I cannot believe this is even under discussion.

okay, so the start here is that they kept reposting this debunked article about hamas mass rapes and beheadings - then got their followers to mass report wolf and trek off the app for a long time

Picturing a crowd of voters shouting "five way tie" in the same way American voters shout "four more years"

y'know there's another thing that is underdiscussed wrt economic vibes: household debt. wages might be rising, and even exceeding inflation, but if you have debt then a large portion of your paycheck goes to servicing those debts

I like @markwarren.bsky.social 's take on the "anti-woke" KCD2 director's gayming award nomination ( www.rockpapershotgun.com/kingdom-come... )

"...the majority of organisations seeking registration under the country's updated regulatory framework have been approved, although a small number were either rejected or deferred." I guess we don't deserve anytging huh? i hate it here. bulawayo24.com/index-id-new...

Internet stalkers getting so excited that they pass out.

she returned to TURKEY to avoid state imposed violence and hostility. TURKEY.

politicians have no choice but to follow the will of the people

People on here don't realize that reading Israeli media on its own terms can radicalize you just as much as anything else against Zionism. The vast majority of quotes I see coming out of Channels 12 and 13 are from security officials whining that Lebanese villagers are allowed to go home.

🤡

pull the other one it's got bells on

it's cool that the one thing both of them agree on is that transgender people should be denied healthcare. both those ghouls can go to hell

me trying to do something I've done a thousand times before but someone is watching me

On the same day that white nationalist Elon Musk called contemporary South Africa an apartheid state, the philosopher king of the reactionary billionaire set (Yarvin) called Musk a communist. The "intellectual life" of the American super-rich has always been kind of absurd, but this is next level.

BIG: In line with the ceasefire in Lebanon, the passage for all commercial vessels through Strait of Hormuz is declared completely open for the remaining period of ceasefire, on the coordinated route as already announced by Ports and Maritime Organisation of the Islamic Rep. of Iran.

BIG - Trump: IRAN HAS JUST ANNOUNCED THAT THE STRAIT OF IRAN IS FULLY OPEN AND READY FOR FULL PASSAGE. THANK YOU!

Friday at last…

The UK not being involved in the war again...

2026: Keir Starmer repeatedly says he was not told that Peter mandelson failed security vetting 2025: Oliver Robbins to parliament on November 2025, "It was clear the Prime Minister wanted to make this appointment himself. The FCDO was informed of his decision and acted upon it"

The news that Mandelson failed security service vetting is NOT NEW. The story broke 7 MONTHS AGO. See story below. Keir Starmer and No.10 claim they only found out this week. But the Independent told No.10 that it had two sources confirming he failed vetting - in September 2025. A web of deceit.

A judicial inquiry is now investigating whether political interference stopped the prosecution of apartheid killers. A third Cradock Four inquest is underway. Forty years later, maybe the families will finally get a form of justice. Read more in my story: www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a... /End

Why were the killers of the Cradock Four never prosecuted? The families believe that senior ANC officials, including Thabo Mbeki & Jacob Zuma, struck a deal with the apartheid generals so that neither side were prosecuted for crimes they committed during apartheid and the struggle against it. /9

Then, in February 1998 at the TRC, the three white policemen admitted to killing the Cradock Four, in a bid to evade prosecution. Three other officers admitted to ordering or planning the murders. All six were denied amnesty by the TRC. They were never prosecuted. All of them are now dead. /8

Darkness had fallen on 27 June 1985 when Fort Calata, Matthew Goniwe, Sicelo Mhlauli and Sparrow Mkonto set off on the 150-mile drive back from a meeting of anti-apartheid activists in the South African city of Port Elizabeth, now known as Gqeberha. They never made it home. /1

Bsky staff is scrambling to convince ppl that today's outage has nothing to do with their embrace of ai. That's great. We should make them scramble more. The cost of replacing competent humans with AI needs to be greater on every single level for every single company.

"His question, which came mere hours after he told the chatbot that God had abandoned him, hung in his oft-used log with the AI platform for two seconds. Then, ChatGPT detailed how the school would lock down, national media would swarm, and the president would express condolences"

these guys love the idea that the best military is the coolest toughest warriors and none of that pussy logistics shit matters, so a reminder: circled is the maximum extent of Spartan control. They couldn't even hold the entire Peloponnese.

The Ainu inhabited Hokkaido, Sakhalin, and the Kuril Islands for roughly 20,000 years before significant Japanese colonization. Their population declined from an estimated 50,000 in 1600 to around 20,000 by 1800.

If you step back, it is truly extraordinary that so many people went to such great lengths and broke so many conventions and risked their political careers and the only outcome of all these efforts and risks was appointing a washed-up old spinner to an ambassadorial post

in the UK it's such a threat to our national security to oppose genocide and support Palestine that you'll be thrown in jail. also in the UK they'll maybe just sack you, at a push, if you lie and coverup the fact that a high profile ambassador failed the security vetting process but otherwise, nbd

I don´t like AI but one of the funniest things is seeing people condemn Iran for using AI videos against Trump because it uses water and energy. Trump hauled a fleet to the middle east, then bombed oil production and nuclear power facilities.

The quotes on this post might be the most comprehensive collection of variations on the sickos memes I’ve ever seen.

Oh my god it wasn't AWS this is hilarious

The basic wrong is Team Starmer hired Mandelson cos they approved of Mandelson's career -pushing Labour to pro corporate, pro privatisation etc. policies in Govt, then using his govt contracts to get a big £ career from corporations after Govt -and want to have the same career.

I know it’s hard to find the right words for horrible situations, but I find both “ongoing domestic dispute” and “messy divorce” to be inadequately serious language for this situation.

Was sending the message "We eatin good tonight" and accidentally made the typo "we eatin food tonight." Also true

I've decided on a mode where I will openly and unequivocally defend this guy because I see what they're trying to do. but at the same time, god damn, do they have no idea how bad this can get for them if he's their main opp lol
