Watching the Women's T20 final on Sky Somethingorother. At the bottom of the screen there's an occasional statistical question dreamt up in AI fever dreams that are then answered by Google Gemini. I don't like this new world at all. Non-Zaltzman cricket stats are abominations.

The owner of X is embracing an explicitly fascist ideology which is opposed to liberalism, universal suffrage, and racial equality—and yet every Democrat in Congress and most journalists still use his website every day. It’s absolutely disgusting.

Since apparently this isn't making it beyond UK news yet, Rockstar petitioned a British court to section an 18 year old autistic kid under the mental health act for hacking their server and leaking a short GTA 6 clip a couple of years ago. No trial, no term of sentence, just locked up in hospital.

Well that’s simply wire fraud.

this guy is the co-founder of Airbnb

This is exactly why we have Pride. Because a few years ago this would have just been a hateful fringe figure - but this is where our politics is heading with a Government that kertows. We will resist. And bring hope (*and* electing progressive politicians.) We will win. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

The Amazon lost 736,484 hectares of forest in 2025, according to a new MAAP analysis. While the data shows some positive year-on-year trends, illegal clearing remains a major threat inside protected areas. Driven by El Niño, looming heat waves and dry conditions could worsen the destruction.

This is a fine thread.

Setting in the a western sky in the UK right now, #Moon and #Venus are so beautiful. Nip out and have a quick look if you can.

I'd never heard of Cody Dahler, but he comes up with the most fitting epithets and similes for the usual suspects. Cody, I'd buy you a can of Red Stripe any day.

To misquote Mencken yet again: For every complex human problem there's an answer that's clear, simple and wrong.

If any organisation can be deemed terrorist, so could you.

Love this as a prevention case study: - Low cost, even revenue raising in the short term - Improves health outcomes and reduces costly hospital admissions Shows political leadership is key: - Politically costly for Khan to implement - Did it despite cost savings landing outside GLA

I thought @wallaceme.bsky.social had got all upset about satire as I was lucky enough not to know who Michael Knowles is. So I checked him out; he’s bonkers. I stand with lesbian witchcraft.

@clairehanna.bsky.social : "Last week, in a very high profile case, the murder of Natalie McNally, the judge.. talked about a frenzied knife attack, he talked about wounds so bad the cause of death was unable to to be determined. There were no riots over the perpetrator of that brutal crime"

Your occasional (from me) reminder to avoid some companies.

There has been a rise of femicide as Trump ally President Javier Milei cuts programs that target domestic violence in Argentina. Argentina was the only country to vote against a UN general assembly resolution to prevent and eliminate violence against women and girls.

1. This article has made waves. I have tried to push Mayor Mamdani to be better in my reporting, and I am sad that it has not worked. I have seen many questions about this story, and I want to talk about some of them. Read on.

Russian strike on an ambulance in Kherson today. Russia is systematically tearing Kherson apart, committing one war crime after another. The city is in a desperate, critical situation‼️‼️

Elon Musk’s far-right army……and why it matters Piece from me on how the support of the world’s richest man for a racist British party reveals the threats to Western democracy

Last week, @thenerve.news published #TheHarborneReceipts, a forensic examination in cryptobillionaire Christopher Harborne’s donations…& how closely they tracked Farage & Johnson’s pro-crypto policy statements. Yesterday, the FT published an editorial making this exact point about Reform. 1/

🇺🇦🙏 Zaluzhnyi: A terrible night in Kyiv. Missiles, drones, ballistics. Dead and injured. The world must respond to this evil. Ukrainians deserve more support. Condolences to the families of the dead and injured. Strength and endurance to all who protect, save, help.

An older article but as "Sexbots" get more advance and continue to go unregulated the worse it's going to get. "We should no more be encouraging rapists to find a supposedly safe outlet for it than we should facilitate murderers by giving them realistic, blood-spurting dummies to stab," Laura Bates

In 2024, they made it illegal for girls and women to speak, so of course the next step would be that "silence" from actual children meaning consent.

The UK's biggest problem is Islamophobia not Antisemitism. No one will even mention this disgusting performance by Tommy Robinson. If it had been antisemitic the Police would have charged the stage.

One city. 9 million people. All of us Londoners. We will never be divided.

"MAGA is the last breath of the confederacy“ I sincerely hope its days are numbered. With small numbers.

A mass destruction operation.
