The trump regime is killing this island so their buddies can buy cheap oceanfront property.

They're holding strong — so far. The lie that American elections are riddled with fraud has become a right-wing shibboleth, despite years of Republican-led investigations which only wind up proving how vanishingly rare it is. open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...

Taylor Sheridan, creator of the Western drama ‘Yellowstone,’ argues that when any leader defies the rule of law, it’s weakened for every leader who comes next.

I have never experienced a publication fighting THIS hard against reality. The sneering, patronising bullshit that they choose to publish should embarrass them - the problem being, after so many years of sliding down into tabloid status, they have zero shame left. None.

Tell me DC is not occupied by a foreign agent. Only a foreign agent would put guard towers up on the people's mall.

Again, I make a PSA plea to my fellow journalists: please stop describing the EU as a 'bloc'! Every time you want to use the word, replace it with 'union'. Because that's what it is. The clue is in the name. davekeating.substack.com/p/the-eu-is-...

Pope Leo XIV isn’t happy that Elon Musk is a trillionaire: “If money is the only thing that has value anymore, then we’re in big trouble.”

And, if you do follow Oilfield Witness, you'll know there are grave doubts as to whether the industry is, in fact, making any 'efforts' at all to reduce flaring 🧐

In 2016, children at Aldgate School were breathing air that breached legal limits for air pollution. Today I returned to share new data that shows an around 40% drop in estimated annual premature deaths linked to toxic air.

In the Canadian Arctic, governments are planning a significant expansion of all-season roads. Some Indigenous groups worry about what that could mean for migratory caribou, as guardian work already suggests that roads have an impact. My story for @mongabay.com news.mongabay.com/2026/06/as-c...

June 1976 temperature record (35.6°C) has fallen. New record holder, though probably not for long, is Charlwood in Surrey at 35.7°C.

Now the UK’s hottest June day on record, climate crisis fans.

Most of the legislation protecting equality & workplace rights originated from the European Union and although this has now been incorporated into UK law, there are fears that future govts could water this down Today’s politics & poor economy also effect women more @northeastbylines.co.uk #Brexit

As usual, Josh's thinking is exactly the same as my own. So I call this the most astute of all the post-election analyses. "Mamdani won big. But he knew where to compete and where not to compete. And that’s as much a political skill as the coattails he demonstrated with those three wins."

Mark Driscoll’s return reflects the growing reach of Christian nationalism. Once pushed out of mainstream evangelicalism amid abuse allegations, he rebuilt his influence through TPUSA, bringing extremist rhetoric into a movement increasingly pushing toward theocratic power. Read his profile:

The press is framing this as a shift to the left. But you could also argue that primary voters are sick of the status quo and want elected officials who will actually do stuff that makes their lives better. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/24/n...

I know some of you will be worrying about how Skyla is coping in this heat, so here she is saying: don't

When she was little, Mikayla Sposito wanted to be the first woman to do something. She just figured all the firsts had already been taken. At 21, she got her wish. This year, she became the first woman ever to represent the United States in a WorldSkills welding competition. 🔥 #SheShed

While we cook in Europe, it's worth remembering that this isn't just a European story. Across the Arctic and other high-latitude regions, temperature anomalies are reaching extraordinary levels, with some areas forecast to be >10–20°C above historical averages. The climate signal is global.

Correct! One of many reasons why it’s important to be loud and push back.

Ukrainian drones struck the Orenburg gas processing plant and the adjacent helium plant, 1,200 km from the line of contact. It is Russia's only helium producer—and it has now been hit at least four times in under a year euromaidanpress.com/2026/06/24/u...

As was pointed out to me - de minimis is a simplification not a loophole, and while Chinese companies have exploited that in ways that could be tackled, ending the scheme will hit small business and consumers while not likely to revive high streets. www.ft.com/content/0de9...

sure is funny how right wing billionaires keep buying up media outlets, converting them into right wing propaganda mills, and driving journalists into exile

A child born in 1976 experienced a UK climate that no longer exists. Since then: 👉 Global temperatures have risen ~1°C 👉 UK heatwaves have become 3–4°C hotter 👉 The UK has exceeded 40°C for the first time The baseline has shifted. theconversation.com/we-recreated...

I cannot emphasize enough how much of a banger @dogsinautumn.bsky.social has written today, you really owe it to yourselves to read it.

Just 10 days after the SpaceX IPO, the stock has plunged and the average investor has seen most of their initial gains disappear. And don't forget: rules protecting investors from volatile new stocks were gutted — at SpaceX's behest. The universe's largest Ponzi scheme?
