Books about “Asian wife sharing.” Detailed descriptions of orgies. Scenes involving “ladyboys.” That’s what @dfriedman.bsky.social discovered on a Goodreads page tied to the email address of a top Pentagon official and mentor to Pete Hegseth. What came next was even wilder.

Teen vaping offers a powerful lesson in how misinformation shapes behaviour.

Brexit has been a disaster. It's costing the UK £250 million every single day in lost tax revenue. We need a new UK-EU customs union to restart the economy. It's good to see that the Government is finally acknowledging the damage Brexit did & agreeing we must rebuild our relationship with the EU.👇

Nothing to see here. It’s not burning fossil fuels. What fossil fools.

Administrators are inking deals with OpenAI and inviting Palantir onto campus, ignoring faculty expertise and rolling out unproven data-thieving surveillance snake oil tech on our studens, staff and us. Enough.

Rachel Reeves is reportedly considering raising income tax next month. Of course Labour are planning on going after working people while conveniently ignoring the super-rich who are hoarding this country's wealth. The Green Party is clear - time to tax wealth, not work.

Another of Reform get in… which they shouldn't.

The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.

Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."
