Perfect response.

not to be all shouty but THEY ARE GOING TO SHOOT SO MANY MORE PEOPLE IN THE FUCKING STREETS IF THEY ARE ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH THIS ONE

“Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” she said. “She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.”

what this should make clear to everyone in this country is that it does not matter who you are, there's no "it could never happen to me" you can be a white woman who drives around with stuffed animals in her car, and they will still kill you in cold blood and call you a domestic terrorist

they’re abducting our neighbors and putting them in concentration camps and they’ll shoot you in the fucking face if you don’t cheer them on while they’re doing it.

one of the best responses I've ever seen to a NYT request to use a video

This is vital data today of all days.

It is an outrage that Starmer’s Govt makes peaceful protest a crime It is cruelly telling that the Westminster Govt is as silent about the fading lives of protesters calling for an end to Israel's genocide of Palestinians, as it is to Israel's slaughter of innocent Palestinians #PalestineAction

ATOS had just too much humanity?

Two days - two defections! Huge welcome to the Green Party to Cllr Lakshan Saldin in Greenwich. Green Party keeps growing! 💚🚀 greenwichwire.co.uk/2026/01/07/g...

I misunderstood this at first. I thought they'd drawn up a deal to start taxing multinationals and had to leave the US out. Arguably a small step in the right direction. But no. They've actually taken the US out of existing deals. A big step back!

I used this to delete all content and then deactivate my twitter account. cyd.social Yeah, I know I should’ve done it ages ago rather than just ignoring it. Better late than never.

If only @lisanandymp.bsky.social

Another opportunity to show that, even with spectacular finds, archaeology is more than treasure hunting and professional archaeologists use their expertise for the good of society

Terf Lewis taking a morally bankrupt position? Surely not?

Blow it. Summon the once and future Queen?

We can’t go on like this. In just two days, the average FTSE 100 CEO has made a median workers full time annual salary. The right calls this “wealth creation”. It’s wealth extraction. Time to tax the rich. @highpaycentre.bsky.social highpaycentre.org/fat-cat-day-...

I'm so delighted that I complied with the Online Safety Act, blocking an accessibility feature on my site from UK users to 'protect the children' while Elon Musk's site can just generate CSAM with total impunity.

Maybe the "Duchy of Cornwall" (ie Prince William) could cancel the lease rather than pocketing £100 million of taxpayer money for knowingly renting out a building not fit for human accommodation?

So yesterday Trump mused about a 3rd term, said ideally he'd cancel elections because Democrats are evil, and today it emerged that he's appropriated all the proceeds of Venezuela's oil industry can we (ie number 10) *please* stop saying US is our closest ally. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

The lesson of January 6th is that it does absolutely no good to prosecute the the violent foot soldiers if you're not going to prosecute the leaders and hold them accountable for their sedition under the full force of the law.

There we go. That there’s a headline.

That's why #Freeports and #SEZs have such a large land-take. Plymouth includes the whole of Dartmoor. The corporate parasites behind this want control of all our infrastructure and natural resources.

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

Look at this wonderful hourglass-shaped record of the way that night extends and recedes into our days as the year passes.

sorry, this is the america doctrine. if it is un-american it is not at its very core but in its unusually straightforward expression

The Secret Traitor may be the most beautiful usage of the singular they/them pronoun in popular culture so far. It really is that easy.

All those people who were yelling "there's no problem with NATO" after Zack pointed out that with Trumpmerica in it, there IS a problem with NATO ... can you see it, yet?

Imperialism (noun): a policy of extending a country's power and influence through colonisation, use of military force, or other means. It's clear what Trump is doing. Yet our Labour government refuse to defend international law and condemn the illegal actions of a rogue state.

Richard Carpenter deserves so much appreciation. Possessed of an excellent imagination married to a fascination with history, he came up with CATWEAZLE, THE GHOSTS OF MOTLEY HALL (of which GHOSTS was an unattributed reboot and no one can tell me different), and ROBIN OF SHERWOOD. He was brilliant.

Oh great. Can’t see anything problematic with giving our defence data to anti-democratic techno-fascists.

Potentially good. More of this and faster please.

hey @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social, @darrenpjones.bsky.social, some light reading for you and the rest of the cabinet you can't deny science forever. eventually you'll be exposed as the bigoted assholes you are and at that point labour's reputation will be completely wrecked stop listening to bigots

We need to treat wealth as an addiction and populism as a cult. We aren’t bringing the right ammo

There IS NO difference between the current US government and that of Russia. We, and the world at large, are in deep shit.

I am raging at the irony of Trump accusing Maduro of rigging elections, clinging to power and being corrupt and Putin chiming in from the sidelines about how this invasion of another country’s sovereignty is illegal and aggressive. What the fuck kind of time are we living in?

“I need to run this past eighteen Reform focus groups with Morgan before I could possibly comment.”

Sixteen hours in bed would be more satisfying if I woke up in any way refreshed.

Best take so far. Venezuela has long deserved liberation from Maduro’s ghastly regime. I shed no tears for him. The question is, will it lead to a democratic transition, or regional chaos, and even more upheaval for the long suffering Venezuelan people? I hope the former but fear the latter.

Quoting Sun Tzu? Good grief. He reminds me of Gordon Brittas. #Traitors

They gentrified the tinfoil hat

You can do this too!

My first thought was the Library at Alexandria. This is more elegantly put than my vague thought.

Rebellions are built on hope…

i love this photo from the inauguration by the talented @gregpak.net

Lololol…

Hi. I’m Start Point Lighthouse.

As we see so regularly , it is always the teenage girls fault , mix that with political cowardice that is driven by “but what will the Daily Mail say if we do something humane” and we have a system desperate to appease the worst of us, and to utterly ignore those who dare to empathise
