Everyone who says shit like this has a vested business interest in AI. It's no more complicated than that. deadline.com/2026/04/sand...

This reminds me of the shitty food parcels sent out to free school meals children during the pandemic. Remember them? Half a fucking carrot, a mingy sandwich and a tangerine. Always a Tory backed company doing the provisions.

did a hacker fuck over Bluesky totally or did they overdo the AI?

Karmam Bales has produced an exceptional piece of investigative journalism that reveals how funds linked to Viktor Orbán are flowing into the right wing media circles of the United Kingdom. A crucial look at the hidden networks influencing domestic discourse.

Tell. Me. About. It.

“If you criticise Palantir’s platform one more time, you are going to lose your job.” Solidarity to all NHS workers opposing this toxic corporation. Shame on those bullying them. But they won’t stop us. We’re going to ditch Palantir. www.ft.com/content/ff70...

"Between 2000 and 2024, the richest 1% captured 41% of all new wealth, while the bottom half of humanity got just 1%." A worldwide 2% tax on wealth—not income—is only the bare minimum. I hope to see it happen in my lifetime. Hell, I hope to see it this decade. (Maybe California will lead?) #TaxDay

this robot runs like me after I've walked 25000 steps around London with my 20 year old and our train home is about to leave

Genius Musk geniusing again

"My real name is Braden, but people know me as Clavicular"

The economy is fake. Everything about it. Smoke and mirrors all the way down.

Reform UK's energy prize winners, Wigan-based Raymond and June Dibble "are the very same couple who nominated Lee Moffitt to become the Wigan branch chair of Reform UK." Moffitt appears in the publicity video posted by Farage of their miraculous win. Fancy that! bylinetimes.com/2026/04/13/r....

I needed a good news story today and thought you might like it, too.

The same week the NYTimes was devoting its significant resources to producing this ridiculous piece about Lauren Sanchez Bezos's call for rich people to not worry and be happy, Ryan Hass, an independent journalist in Oregon, was investigating this horrifying story about a death in an Amazon plant.

This kind of thing at Substack (including their Nazi problem and trans hate problem) are why my newsletter is at Ghost.org and always has been. Andrew Tate is a spectacularly vile human being accused of numerous violent crimes against women and hugely corrosive for young male minds.

I was told by three people that I "would never work in television again." These people were: 1. Jimmy Savile 2. Max Clifford 3. Robert Kilroy Silk For doing nothing other than telling the truth. Now, I carried on working in TV. Who knows if they ever tried to stop me when they still had power?

Ah yes, that infamous medic who can heal patients by streaming light onto their heads. As opposed to, say, operating on them or something?

A crucial article, but one quibble. I've been arguing since 1997 that Frank Furedi, Claire Fox and the rest of the gruesome "Revolutionary Communist Party" goons were NEVER on the left: the RCP was a far-right front from the outset. No surprise when they started working for Orbán, Farage & Johnson🧵

Orbán controlled 80% of the Hungarian media and still lost. That’s one hell of a beating

for sure, congratulations to magyar. but the real heroes imo are those in civil society & journalism & rank-and-file opposition & academia who have fought against the disintegration of rule of law, the weaponization of the courts/media, & so much more for so long. 🇭🇺

one immediate dramatic consequence of the Hungarian result: Magyar has promised to repair relations with the EU and unblock a €90bn EU loan for Ukraine

HELL YES WOO HOO

For a generation or more of British people, Oliver Postgate's voice is a herald of bliss and calm. You hear him and at once sit back, thumb in mouth, and the word is a much better place. See also Brian Cant

Why are we allied with these people?

oh don't threaten ME with a good time

Something ancient and wonderful for the weekend! A tiny horse figurine carved from mammoth ivory about 40,000 years ago! Imagine the #IceAge artist at work, sitting by the warmth of a fire, creating what is the world’s oldest known figure of a horse! 📷 by me #Archaeology

yet again, a parrot is having a better life than me

My take is that people don't have money anymore. Jobs that used to make decent money no longer do so. Healthcare and rent are unaffordable. Everything costs way too much.

another American who probably wants on about how "other" cultures are ruining American life whilst being more fundamentalist than the fucking Taliban. They really, really, REALLY hate women don't they?

There is no longer a safe place in Lebanon

for a party so allegedly pro-life, they sure love death. Many many deaths.

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.

As #totp are doing 1986 right now, a friendly nudge in the direction of my book, #IntoTheGroove, in which I have attempted to cover every single musical base of the 1980s. Month by month.

They are so good at this. And Labour needs to realise that so many of their lot do NOT look or act like "normal" people. It's important.

"As bombs fell, panicked commuters were stuck in traffic. Buildings were blasted to the ground in neighborhoods all over the capital, raising clouds of dust & palls of smoke into the sky. Nowhere seemed safe as Lebanese tried to find loved ones." AP report on Israel's Attack on Beirut bit.ly/47QAtSG

I’ve known Lebanon for three decades. What’s happening now is an invasion. This is Gaza 2.0 – and the world is barely paying attention. @CaroleCadwalladr for the Nerve Link 🔽

While killing dozens of people in Lebanon (MOPH says 112, civil defense counts 250+, until now), Israel still found time to kill another one of our colleagues in Gaza.

The Pakistani Prime Minister who was the intermediary for the ceasefire tweeted yesterday that it included Lebanon

I made a whole BBC TV series (2020) about the remarkable resilience of the people of Iran and their culture over centuries of threat and callous rule. You can watch it right here: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

What a f*cking waste of lives and money. 😠

Brutal.

anyway please remember that curtis yarvin and peter thiel and marc andreessen and elon musk and sam altman and mark zuckerberg told everyone who would listen donald trump was a brilliant statesman who was going to make the world safe for innovation after the stifling regulation of the biden years

You know what this decade in our species’ history will be remembered for? Dead children. Thousands of dead children in Ukraine, Palestine, Iran, Sudan, Syria, Lebanon and more. Children, bombed, blown up & shot on the orders of political leaders for their own revolting ends. A disgusting decade.

my oura ring has informed me that I'm having a stressful day... No shit, you tiny metal bastard.

It's breathtaking isn't it? Absolute perfection. We live on something so incredible and miraculous that it can render us speechless. And yet the inhabitants - the ones with the money and power - are hell bent on destroying it and each other whilst claiming new worlds for their capitalist dreams.

I'm here because my Jewish grandparents escaped the Holocaust. Many of our family were not so fortunate. NEVER AGAIN is supposed to include Iranians. And Palestinians. And Ukrainians. And on and on. There are no exceptions based on religion or country of origin.

I have voted twice to advance articles of impeachment. We cannot wait. Congress must convene immediately and begin proceedings to remove this man from office for the safety of our nation, Americans, and the world.

oh my god
