An extreme wildfire risk is in place across London this weekend. Please follow London Fire Brigade advice: ❌ No disposable BBQs in parks & open spaces 🚬 Dispose of cigarettes carefully 🗑️ Take rubbish home if bins are full Together we can help the London Fire Brigade save lives.

This on schools in heatwave is pretty upsetting but have also heard some horror stories about nursing homes & hospital waiting rooms. Both ends of the age spectrum struggling www.theguardian.com/education/20...

🇲🇷 Mauritania's Imraguen people's desert-ocean paradise under threat The Imraguen have for centuries developed fishing practices in harmony with nature, a way of life now threatened by climate change, overfishing and the difficulty of passing it onto the next generation.

🔴 ⚠️ 🔥 ♨️ Almost 4000Ha burnt, 1400 evacuations, 12 deaths:it's one of the worst wildfires of this century for #Spain   . Strong winds and dry weather make very hard to fight #IFLosGallardos, ⬇️ latest 12hrs of Meteosat-12 #MTGI1 #Andalucia #ClimateEmergency #IncendioForestal

The closed loop is always just the planet.

The end justifies the means. But what if there never is an end? All we have is means.

I’ll share it, because I think this rampant anti-Muslim and anti-Arab bigotry is not only accepted by a dying wing of our party but being used to win primaries (see Abdul). It’s on us to see it, shun it, and protect our coalition.

It’s really a sad state of affairs when the voters in Clacton-on-Sea only have the choice between a joke candidate and Count Binface.

Not practicing apartheid, carrying out genocide, continually occupying territory and expanding illegal settlements and doing ethnic cleansing... that would go a long way toward changing the optics.

I would campaign for him.

Don't know who needs to hear this (no one likely) but my prediction that's totally spot on is that permanent human settlements on Mars isn't only not going to happen, but it's a really bad and pointless idea. I'm a scifi fan. Love me some Mars habitat sagas. But they just show you why it's dumb.

never forget this, the lengths to which evil people will go to stop truth from getting out & to stop journalists from telling us what they learn & know

Useful thread on how people with fascist backgrounds and Nazi tattoos often befriend and rely on support from people who won't question the Nazi tattoo within left wing spaces, to frustrate efforts of left wing people who have a problem with Nazis to actually address the Nazi background.

Half this piece is spent chiding people who were right about the guy — who didn’t downplay the red flags — and are now smugly declaring “I told you so.” Well, they did, and sometimes we just need to take the L.

And a reminder that the PSNI were told about the risk of pogroms in Belfast 8 months before the pogroms happened. 8 months. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

I’m so sorry but what 😂😂😂😂 that’s a goofy thing to say to anyone, but to this person in particular???

IDF keeps executing José Andrés' World Kitchen staff. And it's not a coincidence. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

He's just constantly edging MAGA.

Considering the absolute repression gauntlet Palestinian authors have had to deal with and still do to just be heard describing the campaign against their voices and themselves as a people going back since 1948... cope.

Thune: all right everyone, we have Senator McConnell on speaker, say hi Mitch. Voice on the phone: so cold... Thune: so as you can see, he's fine Voice on the phone: there is no heaven, there is only the thing that stalks you in the darkness after death... Thune: just gonna hang up now

Zero safe seats. That's what Labour and the Tories did to themselves.

The Intercept to crank substack pipeline is a heck of a thing.

Israel's war is against anything resembling people living their lives in Gaza.

Perfect timing

How a real reporter asks a question.

Lol, just no.

Taps chart again as we see the aircon finger-wagging nonsense make the rounds.

Trump describing the Iranian regime — he's not wrong (see: mass execution of dissidents), but it's striking that it's the same rhetoric he uses for most immigrants. "They're scum. They're sick people. They're led by sick people, and they're vicious, violent people." eu.usatoday.com/story/news/w...

Yes. Reform the Supreme Court. Term limits. Expand the Court. Enforceable code of ethics. It’s time we address corruption on the highest court.

Just saying, Clacton has the opportunity to become the nation's favourite constituency. Think of the merch!

In a country where people will vote to name a marine research yacht Boaty McBoatface surely we can have a Right Honourable Count Binface.

"There’s simply no way any of us could have predicted a Nazi SS guy with his eyeballs dangling out of his sockets and the Staff of Ra broiled into his flesh like grill marks on a meat slab would be such a terrible candidate for Senate."

there is a cohort of men who resent the responsibilities and obligations of adulthood — of the fact that you owe things to other people. it is a fundamentally childish impulse that they have reconfigured as the height of masculinity, and i think it informs the parasocial attraction to platner.

Ken Klippenstein is serving some weak sauce today considering how he was on the gas lighting crew himself. Wild prose of patting one's self on the back for promoting the candidate who, by any observant person's reckoning, was most likely to crash out for being a shitty human and political trash fire

Total respect for this.

If only there had been any clues that he was a wrong'un!! I mean aside from the many, many very clear signals that kept pouring out and were constantly dismissed by Bluesky's weirdly cultish Platner stans.

rich mentally ill man takes like 110 supplements a day in a country too corrupt to adequately regulate them

Every European shit stirrer on BlueSky preparing for the Americans to wake up

"In one chapter [of Cottrell's book] entitled 'The Art of the Bribe', [he] sets out how politicians can be bought....'Long-term relationships keep the bought person in hand while you're making money'". Subtle. www.ft.com/content/7a0f...

🚨 WATCH: Nigel Farage threatens a Sky News journalist who asks about his undeclared gifts from convicted criminal George Cottrell "You harass my family anymore, there will be serious consequences"

"Britain was not built, emotionally or physically, for 34 degrees in any month, let alone May..." Britain is me in this context.

The acceptable tolerance level for fascist marches is 0.

Colonists have only one way of thinking: extraction.

The World Meteorological Organisation’s recent State of the Global Climate 2025 report confirms that our planet is gaining energy faster than it can shed it, and the ocean is taking about 91% of that excess. www.linkedin.com/pulse/ocean-...

It's all just so very weird.
