Disgraced, oligarch-fluffing, paedo-pal following the same playbook as Russell Brand, Nigel Farage and Liz Truss. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Just seen Grok putting the body of the victim of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis into a bikini. Digital corpse desecration now available to the public.

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

THE MACHINE - BY DESIGN - IS ALLOWING PEOPLE TO REMOVE WOMEN'S CLOTHING WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT AND TO MAKE CSAM. How are we at 'good sides to it too, you know?'?

Telling isn't it that all the "protect our girls" people are still on X despite what Grok is doing.

If Conway were running in a red district, we could talk. He is literally running to replace a very progressive member of Congress.

"Who's who at X, the deepfake porn site formerly known as Twitter". The Financial Times reports on career role models on and around the blurred boundaries of media, technology, sex and the enterprising transnational criminal networks of Musk & co www.ft.com/content/ad94...

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Indeed! Some of you cannot even spell her given name

Another right-wing whiny-ass titty baby. What a buncha losers.

This is a helluva convincing analysis from Natsec specialist AS

Okay, they are even Dumber than we thought. They removed the clickable link but not the file‼️ 😆😂🤣 I just went there and manually put 468 in, it's still there. 🤦 www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

It’s like an AI chatbot trained exclusively on holiday druncle rants. 🤔

I happen to think that Rob Reiner had a much bigger cultural impact than Charlie Kirk did.

The fact is no presenter has ever had to leave the BBC for expressing conservative views, or even explicitly endorsing a right-wing party. Was never a problem for Jeremy Clarkson. Was never a problem for Andrew Neil. Was never a problem for Alan Sugar

The media is entirely responsible for Donald Trump in our lives and Elon Musk as well. Real engineers and scientists knew he was a moron long ago. I was told repeatedly by my brother and his nerds at JPL that Elon was a dolt. But tech press don't know shit either and access is the name of the game.

Damnit this is good writing, @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social.

Sam Elliott: ‘I was making Rough Riders and my agent told me I was going to get a script from the Coen brothers. It got delivered and I was so excited thinking ‘the Coen brothers, man, I’m finally going to get out of this western phase.’

Let’s talk about Steve Witkoff, because I think the narrative of him being a “useful idiot” is a dangerous trap to walk in. It’s darker than that. Witkoff has spent three decades swimming in russian money, russian mob circles, and russian real-estate pipeline.

The "don't have an extra kid if you can't afford it" brigade get awfully upset when you suggest they don't stay in their £2m house if they can't afford it, don't they?

The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

I missed this the other day but it’s fascinating: At the Amsterdam Museum, inspection of a painting from 1674 revealed one of the subjects has a tattoo on his wrist - the first ever seen in Dutch painting. Wessel Smits was born when a comet was in the sky, and probably got inked to commemorate it

In the Netherlands, the first court hearing for Geuzenbond leader Thomas D. was today. Terror charges against him have been dropped; the Public Prosecution Service reportedly found insufficient evidence for those charges. D. will still face multiple weapons-related charges www.rd.nl/artikel/1129...

‘Drone operators are hunted. You feel it from your first day’: the female pilots on Ukraine’s frontline www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Steve Witkoff helped Russia derail Ukraine’s access to Tomahawk missiles. He tipped off the Kremlin about Zelensky’s U.S. visit, giving Moscow time to arrange a call that convinced Trump to block the deal. Witkoff actively works against Ukraine’s defense, in coordination with Putin’s regime.

one thing about this is that in the wake of all of this kirk is basically forgotten. he was barely cold in the ground before his allies — before his *wife* — started scheming over what they could take for themselves. a real life parable.

I swear a lot of the Government's problems would be solved by just taking themselves off of Twitter

I’m not a great political analyst, but I do feel Labour have made a tactical error by opting to be cunts.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisa... describes a situation where an attempt to hide, remove, or censor information results in the unintended consequence of the effort instead increasing public awareness of the information.

People like Truss and Musk don’t hate the BBC for what it gets wrong. They hate it for what it gets right. It must be defended.

Defend the BBC before it’s gone – an open letter The BBC isn’t perfect – but it’s ours. If we don’t defend it now, we may lose a cornerstone of British democracy | Dr Russell Jackson @docrussjackson.bsky.social yorkshirebylines.co.uk/politics/def...

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

if you’re wondering what TV & radio would look like without the bbc if the right had its way, picture the state of our privatised rivers & seas, but instead it’s raw sewage pumped into your telly & speakers

The resignations of Tim Davie and Deborah Turness must be an opportunity for the BBC to turn a new leaf, rebuild trust and resist those like Nigel Farage who want to destroy it We must stand up for a strong, independent BBC, to stop Trump’s America becoming Farage's Britain.

“You know, you could see there was bile coming out of her eyes, bile coming out of her wherever. "

A great day for the golden rule of political analysis: when the right wins it is a resounding ideological victory that humiliates the left and when the left wins it is a precarious fluke that will surely end up humiliating the left. Conservatives are power’s landlords and the left merely tenants

The government spends £2.7 BILLION a year on TAX BREAKS for oil and gas companies Those companies pay billions to their shareholders And then lay off their workers Think that's unfair? Tell Rachel Reeves to stop propping up oil and gas companies and back workers instead…

This isn't a closing election argument, it's Vidkun Quisling explaining why surrender is better than resistance.

Goedemorgen deze verkiezingsdag! Vandaag is het aan jou! Samen kunnen het land weer mooier en beter maken. Kiezen voor hoop en saamhorigheid ipv haat en verdeeldheid. Een land waarin we bouwen aan een betere toekomst voor ons allemaal. Ik reken op je! Stem @groenlinks-pvda.bsky.social

If Kevin Kiley really wanted to break the deadlock, he could sign the discharge petition for the Epstein files.

Exactly. And it raises the question - has Starmer, the human rights lawyer, abandoned his principles? Or is he just a useless manager who assembled a team of useless SPADs and has no idea what they are up to?

The headline is spot on except human rights are inherent and cannot be abolished. What these scoundrels seek to abolish is protective legislation. But they will ensure designated* in-groups keep their protections. *designations can be revoked on the leader's whim

150K people marched in London a few weeks ago, to protest against immigration. UK population - 70 million. In Amsterdam yesterday, 250K protested the government's Israel policy. NL population - 18 million. Yet the right in both countries push the line that immigration is people's #1 concern

this is, of course, not new “Jews run the world” and “trans women will attack you in the ladies room” and “that Black 10-year-old is a scary grown man” are all examples of the same deceptive reframing of where power lies so people can justify doing whatever they want it’s evil every time

On Yom Kippur many Jewish people in Britain have their phones off to mark the holy day. As it ends at 723pm, some will hear the tragic Manchester news for the first time. At that time, please join many of us to send a message of solidarity to British Jews.Thanks Together coalition for proposing.

Imagine you're a career military general being summoned for a pentagon strategy lecture by a former game show host and a former weekend talk show host.
