I feel like "attention hacking" is most of politics now. The Minnesota aid fraud story is becoming a perfect example. Recap: In 2022, the Biden DOJ filed the first charges against dozens of fraudsters, many of them Somali-American, who'd fleeced a state food aid program. (1/x)

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

1/🧵 I've noticed that there seems to be a bit of a pattern. From the 1970s-95ish, acts of domestic terror in the States were bomb based. Ted Kaczynski, original bombing attempt on the twin towers, McVeigh and Nichols, and so on. In Canada, there were eleventy gajillion bomb threats against

Proof that there is more than one way to prostitute yourself. Too bad.

How effective is protesting? According to historians and political scientists: very www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

So in spring, Pam Bondi said there was nothing to the Epstein investigation, then “closed” it. Now, they “find” 1 million more docs. So did she close this without seeing these docs? Or was someone hiding them?

I love starting a great book. You can tell how good it is like 6 paragraphs in because of how good the sentences are.

Stuff like this winds me up. The absurd noblesse oblige. “Social leadership is important”- noone asked you for it. Noone wants it. You think you should have it because you have land. Well good for you. But it’s not the 18th century. Just shuffle off into the night.

🚂 Freight train derails near Kiziterinka station in Rostov region A total of 25 trains are delayed for up to 4 hours on the Bataysk-Rostov railway section.

Dyson is a disgrace. He pushed Brexit. Then treated his staff badly by making them redundant on the spot. Then moved business to Singapore. He deserves no sympathy at all he has the money to pay his tax’s to the country that helped make his business.

Yeah, poor guy. www.straitstimes.com/business/com...

☠️ Tambov (Russia) is planning to build a crematorium due to a sharp increase in the number of burials. In September, local authorities stated that the city cemetery resources were almost exhausted.

Reminder that billionaires don’t create wealth but rather extract wealth from the society our taxes have created and take it overseas.

Philadelphia is a good place to be in 2026. Gift link:

The late Jewish philosopher Yeshayahu Leibowitz, who died in 1994 & had courageously criticized Israel’s occupation of the West Bank & Gaza, warned: “If oppression is justified by suffering endured in the past, this constitutes Hitler’s posthumous moral victory"

Russians released new footage showing a camel, possibly in a combat zone.

"Tories are Reform members who just haven’t made the move yet."

Trump wants a quick end to the war, while Zelensky continues to insist that a peace agreement at the cost of Ukraine's territorial losses, security and sovereignty is non-negotiable.

What is a public artist? Basic duty to perform for all people? In a fascist government you either bend the knee or pay the price.

Nice metaphor for worries about AI in general

☢️ Power line repairs have begun near Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant after another local ceasefire brokered by the IAEA, - Reuters An IAEA team is monitoring repairs expected to last a few days, as part of efforts to prevent nuclear accident.

Happy second anniversary of the Tory government’s announcement that pints of wine could be stocked on Britain’s shelves for the first time ever thanks to Brexit.

Man who bought up 33,000 acres of farmland to avoid tax and moved his business to Singapore after the Brexit he voted for wants your sympathy.

Rail links between Russia and occupied Crimea were disrupted after a freight train derailed overnight in Rostov Oblast. The accident delayed 20 trains, including 7 heading toward Crimea, with delays ranging from 2 to 4.5 hours.

To date, zero pints of wine have ever been produced. The public are not interested and the manufacturers are not going to invest in a pint bottles and new bottling plant. Tories never have understood business.

😱 A self-confessed Nazi that spent his youth torturing animals. After torturing, mutilating and executing Ukrainian soldiers and civilians since 2014, this Russian government employee is now teaching children "Russian values". It's like having Hannibal Lecter as your children's teacher.

Voters in Kosovo cast ballots in an early parliamentary election in hopes of breaking a political deadlock that has gripped the small Balkan nation for much of this year.

All the news you’ll never need. You can bet on it: @philtinline.bsky.social ‘The company's co-founder,Tarek Mansour,says its "long-term vision is to financialise everything+create a tradable asset out of any difference in opinion",optimistic that this can resolve differences of opinion on anything"’

IAEA chief Rafael Grossi says a local ceasefire is in place around the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant to repair damaged power lines. Repairs have begun and are being monitored by the IAEA, creating a temporary “window of silence” to reduce nuclear risk during the war.

🔥 Fresh footage of the battles for Hulyaipole. Elimination of the invaders on the approaches to the city. Over the past day, Defense Forces South eliminated 438 invaders, as well as 2 tanks, 2 armored vehicles, over 70 automobiles, 16 UAV control antennas and more!

This is very good.

www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte... This article doesn't tells us anything we don't already know about Farage but what struck me is the bit about the pupils being told they're the future leaders of the country. Entitlement and arrogance is built in at these schools. Man of the people my arse.

Based on his malignant narcissism, it's far more likely that musk doesn't care about how many lives #USAID saved rather than being ignorant of it. Playing dumb is how they get away with it.

Actually, it’s worse than this Not only was Musk completely ignorant of what USAID did and how many lives it saved He also called it a “criminal organization” that “needs to die” And Trump-being even MORE stupid and ignorant-let him kill it

says it all

He has no idea what he's talking about.

Guys, Trump doesn’t care about Christians in Africa and it’s not really about the Nigerian oil. It’s the rare earth minerals. Nigeria has exploded in rare earth mineral production in the last couple of years. In fact, it is the number five rare earth mineral producer on the planet.
