When Norfolk Police ask Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor if he has any special dietary requirements whilst in custody:

Something compelled me to make this

Lady Victoria Hervey's comment crosses the line from merely repulsive to outright evil. Describing her comment in any lesser terms downplays its sneering arrogance and callous cruelty.

"In my view the Appleby Report needs to be regarded as, at best, a distraction that is completely irrelevant to the issue." It's propaganda. Why else would Streeting commission a report that restricts the dataset to selectively exclude patients with the highest mortality risk?

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors. Great work everyone.

Zarah Sultana is supporting Hannah Spencer, the Green Party candidate, in Gorton and Denton.

All of Us Murderers enjoys the advantages of both a perfect gothic historical romance and an excellent place to start with KJ Charles' books for the uninitiated. @bookjockeyalex.bsky.social's review invites us to Lackaday House:

By-election latest: A Green Party source tells me the response in Gorton today has been so positive that they're reallocating resources to Denton. They claim ex-Labour voters say they can't vote for the party with Starmer as leader, so tactical voting doesn't come into it.

I think we should be told

Britain is broken. Reform’s answer is like fracking: widen the cracks so the rich elites can extract anything of value , while we’re distracted by division. The Greens are kintsugi: repairing what’s broken, filling the cracks with value, and holding communities together. Vote @greenparty.org.uk

White supremacy is not a “legitimate view.” Vilifying migrants is not “reasonable debate.” Eugenics is not a “controversial belief.” Genocide is not a “justified action.” These are all examples of violent racism. We should recognise this basic fact and reject such politics unapologetically.

Sending them to an abattoir would be a more prudent use of taxpayer's money in these difficult times, mind.

Less than a month after demanding the release of a North Texas father detained by ICE, the disabled son of that man has died, the family confirmed. According to a press release, Wael Tarabishi was pronounced dead at about 1:55 p.m. Friday in the ICU at Methodist Mansfield Medical Center. He was 30.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 The Green Party now has over 190,000 members! Membership growth, polling surges, by-election wins and defections... the Green Party is making hope normal again. Join today!

A genocide against Ukrainians is unfolding right now. It already has a name: "Kholodomor" (exhaustion through cold) This crime is being deliberately committed by Russia. In legal terms, it has a clear definition - genocide

1 million people: this thing happened 1 right wing nutter: no it didn't BBC journalist paid £350k a year: with varying reports, it is impossible to tell what's happened

"If people refuse to alter society in ways that fit our corporate agenda, our program of altering society to fit our corporate agenda will fail."

Oh, honey, that is such a low bar...

“Under the weather” in this case means he is sh*tting himself over being pulled to pieces by @zackpolanski.bsky.social. His diarrhoea is not just verbal.

ICE seems to get completely flummoxed when they’re being yelled at by white men over 35. They kind of put their heads down and shuffle their feet. It’s like their kryptonite.

For context: Captain Sheridan is being tortured by a fascist regime. www.youtube.com/watch?v=caqq...

He did just describe his own relationship with Beijing.

Fascinating article, hopeful: "There is only one reason the world isn’t bursting with wildly profitable products and projects that disenshittify the US’s defective products:

Based on a WW2 anti-Nazi poster where a bayonet stabs a Bible. Our enemy today is within, destroying the U.S. Constitution, which governs this land, and not a king. If you were a patron, you'd have seen this already! www.patreon.com/emilyk

Shumer, Starmer, Molotov, and Chamberlain are four names that come to mind.

It's a good question.

Germany sends troops to Greenland. Germany has seen this movie before. They played the bad guys then. They want a different role in the sequel.

Just saw a clip of Pam Bondi on YouTube. My first thought on seeing her appear on screen wasn't "will she lie?" (as it would be with most politicians) but "what truth will her lies be concealing?"

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.

Never underestimate the human capacity for kink and fetish. There's sure to be a bloke out there who'll have the hots for him - and it's a safe bet he'll regret meeting them.

Border Patrol boss Gregory Bovino caught on a hot mic:

EXCLUSIVE: Leaked WhatsApp messages show Labour MPs urging govt to leave X, arguing that it should "show direction to others in the UK" The MPs said X owner Elon Musk is "fascist" and that the platform's AI tool, Grok, had put "children in harm's way"

Politics affects everything. “Shouldn’t be politicised” = “it would be convenient for me if you don’t talk about this. *I’ll* define ‘civility’ & ‘decency’ & accuse you of having neither in hopes of embarrassing you into shutting up”

This murderer must face justice for killing Renee Nicole Good. So must all those who choose to protect him.

What's the point of the Labour Party? Every single time Starmer gets an opportunity to do the right thing he bottles it He lied to win party leadership and lied to win the election Now he won't even condemn an act of naked terrorist aggression by USA!

Can you confirm @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social whether Labour's ban on 'nudification' apps will extend to Grok, please?

Starmer and Farage both drape themselves in flags but once again it's really clear where their loyalty really is. It's Trump first. They will always be on the side of the super rich and powerful - no matter how heinous the crime. This is not patriotism. It's subservience.

Fuck everyone who has ever supported this semi-sentient glob of congealed self-tanner. You did this. The blood of Venezuelan civilians and American service members is on your hands. I hope that haunts you for the rest of your life. I know it won't. But I hope it does.

Grok read the Epstein files.

Considering Tesla's safety record, we should be counting our blessings this has proven as accurate as Musk's other prophecies.

My letter in the Financial Times today. Don't insult cockroaches by comparing them to the dodgy companies fueled by private equity #Biodiversity #FinancialSector
