Funnily enough the Kurds said they weren't going anywhere and now Mango Mussolini doesn't need them...

Which is why this whole thing is idiotic

Imagine a Britain where we had used the profits from North Sea Oil to prepare for it running out and having a transport network that works rather than giving rich people a tax cut.

Guess what day it is, everyone!!!

Iranian hackers threatening to hack into the top 3 credit bureaus and wiping Americans debt… and I just wanna know who I gotta speak to in order to expedite this.

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

Challenge for people who believe Claude *is* conscious and use it anyway: Explain how you’re not a slaver.

TL/DR: War requires attention to detail and seemingly mundane work saves lives and prevents civilian casualties...and all the pull-ups and warfightery nonsense in the world won't replace that or cover up for its failures.

In a just war, we might be willing to accept this as collateral damage, fog of war, etc, but what makes it even worse is that war is unnecessary and a massive sideshow staged by President Anger Yam and friends. Those children did not need to die (in any scenario) and certainly not this one!

as somebody who planned two unmedicated births and ended up having two medicated births, the only person in the room who gets a goddamned say is the person giving birth and it’s really good to make sure everyone involved is extremely clear on that before anyone gets pregnant

I would love for actual progressive company to buy Star Trek from Paramount I just don't what that company is it could be Apple they seem mostly progressive I still don't trust them fully. 😞🖖

Or he's a sociopath who doesn't care

Russia gives targeting intelligence to Iran. American service members die. Trump lifts oil sanctions on Russia. Russia is better able to finance its war against the USA. More Americans die. Trump is a Russian asset and traitor to the USA.

Yes bloody IRRG and Hezbollah aren't going to bother about semantics. Also we've got no say in where the strikes hit. So we are involved, whether we want to be or not without Parliamentary approval.

Gentle reminder for those idiots that want Britain to get fully involved in an illegal war in the Middle East built on a false argument around WMD, in 2003 we had an economy larger than China and could put about 60,000 servicemen and women into the field. It's history, not current affairs.

Trust America with or without Trump

Very useful thread

Human lives are cheap; oil futures are not.

Message to men: you can date/marry way, way above your league if you will just fucking learn to cook and do some laundry, please stop hitting yourself in the face with hammers or "optimising" things and try vacuumcleanermaxxing instead...

Just like Witkoff coached Putin’s team

Finds his footing? lol Are we watching the same war? www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

take note of the size, but also the terrain

I think that if I were China, I'd seize the opportunity and invade Taiwan right now.

Bravo! And if that didn't work...

‘Well why don’t you fucking cook for them then’ would have been her response in my case. 😬

Just finished this anthology edited by @jendiagammon.bsky.social and @garethlpowell.bsky.social. Some really lovely pieces in here! Be sure to check out @starsandsabers.bsky.social for their other anthologies and books!

I would say they want the refugees to ferment more hatred and use it as an excuse for more authoritarianism and more American Money, but I think that probably gives atleast Badenoch more credit than is deserved.

Glasman (continuing his run of being wrong abt everything) wants the monarchy back? The monarchy that murdered and imprisoned thousands of its opponents just like the current regime? How abt we let the Iranians decide?

BBC News - Northumbria Police says Newcastle protester's arrest unlawful - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... The importance of the Human Rights Act illustrated at a relatable level.

Almost a week on and I've not changed my mind much since posting this: bsky.app/profile/cura...

As ever was the case

Watching Ireland v Wales and although James Lowe isn't playing they miss a trick not giving him a Guiness and sticking him on the bench as a cheerleader. #IrelandvWales #6Nations

This week's #histbookchat reading is The Fortress by Raleigh Trevelyan - the diary of his time in the Anzio beachhead.

Not gonna lie...this looks pretty bad if this reporting is accurate. newrepublic.com/post/207429/...

Happy birthday, Aron. You're so incredibly missed.

It's D&D night aboard the D, and Deanna gets one over on Captain Jellico #StarTrek #JellicoTrek #StarTrekTNG #DnD

Who was smuggling in 18th century Britain? My refreshed database for prosecutions for smuggling in England and Wales c. 1721-1732 is live with over 4,000 entries. From naval officers to farmers, smuggling was big business. #twitterstorians #earlymod #history www.davidchansmith.net/smugglingdat...

The American political class is utterly delusional, adrift in a dream of normality, unable to process the actual reality of events on the ground, where the US just launched a completely unprovoked war against a massive country, murdered its leadership, and demanded its conversion to a vassal state.

Jimmy Kimmel tonight: The reason Trump hasn't testified yet about the Epstein files is you can't put him under oath. If he swears to tell the truth, he's already committed perjury. 😆

Call me cynical but if there are no enemies then Netanyahu and the God botherers can't scare the world into supporting them.

Pretty sure when they started imposing this idiocy they assured a bunch of judges that they would be able to refund the money with no problem if it ever came to that.

Iceland has officially scheduled a general referendum on the country's accession to the European Union for August 29th.

🇫🇷 The French Navy’s nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle has crossed the Strait of Gibraltar and entered the Mediterranean Sea, heading toward the Middle East.

🇨🇳🇮🇷 According to CNN, China may be preparing to provide Iran with financial assistance, spare parts, and missile components. However, Beijing is acting cautiously due to concerns about energy supplies and the stability of the Strait of Hormuz.

Working on a q&a lecture for a class today: The story of robots is always a story about slavery. The story of LLMs labeled as AI is a story about class, and which humans pay the cost, including the physical toll on their bodies/minds, and the lack of water and electricity, so data centers can exist.
