28-12-1973 USA: Skylab Mutiny began when one of the crew members killed all communication with NASA's ground control and the men spent the rest of the day relaxing and looking out the window at Earth. Crew said that 16-hr days amounted to being overworked. libcom.org/article/skyl...

Special mention for Godfrey Reggio’s film Koyaanisqatsi. From 1982 but I saw on the big screen this year. It’s a dialogue-free look at America – its beauty and exploitation. The film presents our way of life, and it’s impossible to come away from it thinking that we are not destroying the world.

In Canada, the 60 Minutes clip about CECOT that Bari Weiss canned was broadcast. @jasonparis.bsky.social‬ captured it. Enjoy. Bluesky only allows 3 minute videos max. I hope this works. 1/5.

Quiz: Who said in 2016 “There have to be consequences for abject war crimes. If you’re doing something unlawful & ruthless then there is a consequence for that. That’s why the military said they won’t follow illegal orders from their Commander-in Chief. There is a standard.” ? 👀

🚨BOOM!! The Petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy has now rocketed past 50,000 signatures! Let’s get it to 100,000. If a petition is what it’s going to take let’s get this done! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

OpenAI needs to raise at least $207bn by 2030 so it can continue to lose money, HSBC estimates on.ft.com/4ij0yh8

Please don't judge me just because I was friends with the traitor Nathan Gill. Instead you can judge me because I described a man charged with rape, human trafficking, controlling prostitution and actual bodily harm as "an important voice for young men".

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Labour MP Brian Leishman: "The Government has surrendered to... the vile rhetoric of Reform. Does the Home Secretary not see that removing the legal obligation to support asylum seekers who will be otherwise destitute, is as far away from Labour Party principles and values as we can get?"

Literally.

Farage: epic grifter

The Starmer government's decision to side with far right racists from a violent racist country supported by Yaxley-Lennon against Birmingham police might just be the final straw for many that are increasingly tired with their attempts to win over the Fagash cult. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

“Peter Mandelson lost his job for being friends with a paedophile. Donald Trump, who was friends with the same paedophile, was given a state banquet hosted by a King whose brother lost his job because he was friends with the same paedophile.“

ICE attempted and failed to disappear a food delivery guy. It needed to be scored.

Reminder: The existence of these in most Scottish supermarkets and corner shops is proof that anyone shilling for the notion that multiculturalism can't work on this island is a charlatan

In an attempt to break up the timeline with some frivolity, a reminder that the Spanish release of Genesis's "Selling England By The Pound" was apparently mistranslated as "Selling England For £1."

Opinion | Liberals say Trump has replace our democracy a fascist autocracy. They are wrong: he has replaced our republic with a fascist autocracy.

Reupping my Russia Russia Russia post where I show that Trump is quite simply picking up where he left off when Mike Flynn investigation held things up in 2017. It's the very same quid pro quo. www.emptywheel.net/2025/03/02/r...

If you’re outraged by Trump & Vance and want to *do* something… Join European Movement UK. The UK needs to get back to being a full member state asap - as Europe needs to unite hard.

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

A senior US government official has called for “lower quality humans” to be sterilised en masse. It’s disgusting & terrifying. And America has been here before.

I’ve long believed that the American media would be more clear-eyed about the return and actions of wanna-be dictator Donald Trump and the coup by Musk if it was happening overseas in a foreign country. Here's the story the US should be writing this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/king-donal...

Agree 100%🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇦 Can you share this flyer for the Ukraine Solidarity demonstration at the Russian embassy in London. We're looking forward to seeing you speak there, but let's make sure it's a huge crowd. We need to #StandWithUkraine more than ever now!

American institutions—from the media to Congress—continue to underreact to the unraveling of our democracy. Overseas our media would not hesitate to call what we’re living through a full-blown autocratic coup. Here's my attempt at the story they should write: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-trump...

Meanwhile, Kremlin-controlled state media used an interview with Kremlin-affiliated former Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada Deputy Viktor Medvedchuk to reiterate the Kremlin's false narrative about Zelensky's illegitimacy and Russia's longstanding goal of destroying the Ukrainian state. isw.pub/UkrWar021525

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up. If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds
