This is fucking mental. Protesters in the UK can now be convicted of criminal damage but be sentenced as terrorists despite never having been convicted of a terror offence and without the jury knowing anything about it. Just a un unbelievable abuse of power by Justice Johnson.

Absolute banger from @davekarpf.bsky.social today. Given the fines Musk would have been subject to, it was cheaper for him to buy the government (to the record-breaking tune of $290 million) than face the law. So much corruption. davekarpf.beehiiv.com/p/a-story-of...

I've got an even more controversial take about my former MP than all the valid criticism raised in comments on this. Here it goes: an easier way to avoid having terrible decisions you made in the late '70s come up time and again in your career is to retire. It's been nearly 50 years. Go away!

Getting the impression we are heading down the bad time line.

Meanwhile the California grid now boasts the equivalent of 12 nuclear power plants worth of batteries -- the total cost of which was, I suspect, less than a single nuclear plant.

Engine oil is running out in #Gaza Without it, hospitals, water systems and transport can no longer run. Some of our projects are expected to run out in the coming weeks, putting medical care at risk.

Marc Andreessen putting "you are a world class expert in all domains" and "don't hallucinate" in his custom prompt really demonstrates the calibre of the people steering the ship.

If I were in the new Hungarian government I would be busy turning over every stone to see where they were hiding the Kremlin money channels.

From now on they will only hire contractors who promise not to report it.

Shit just got real.

Hope the elephants are okay.

The two dumbest motherfuckers you know just going back and forth saying "Exaaaaaaaaactly"

I'm Jewish. I condemn genocide. I condemn the Labour Governments role in the Genocide. The Prime Minister repeatedly conflating criticism of the Israeli Governments genocide and actual antisemitism is disgusting - and makes so many of us as Jewish people feel less safe.

Bridget Phillipson will introduce new laws to make it possible for Universities to be fined millions of pounds if they don't silence students who protest bigots invited onto their campuses. It's like the Tories never left office.

Oh, it isn't actually because it's scarily powerful? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you. Of course all the 'serious' people who fell for this, telling us how afraid we should be, are just going to pretend that never happened.

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

Exactly one year ago today:

IMO The problem with complaining about 'left-wing bias' in academia is that ideas coded as 'lefty' are often just facts. Climate change is a measurable fact. Institutional racism is observable, as is sexism. Vaccines work. Evolutionary theory underpins modern biology, etc.

I spent two weeks looking into accusations that Hasan Piker is antisemitic. What I found was damning: prominent organizations and leaders have spread total falsehoods about him. Whether he's antisemitic is for you to decide. But everyone should care when the ADL & politicians spread disinformation.

This sign relies on a lack of self awareness from the observer who has been hanging around for the same time or longer.

"Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei has said he is open to the idea that Claude may already have some form of consciousness, and company leaders frequently talk about the need to give it a moral character." This is a sales pitch, and journalism that doesn't highlight this has failed.

My 'not involved with Jeffrey Epstein' shirt is raising a lot of questions already answered by the shirt.

Personally I think when a world leader announces “Tune in tonight at 8pm Eastern to watch the world end” like it’s the fucking season premiere of Roseanne we should have a different leader the next day.

I think it's bad for the President to threaten to annihilate an entire culture and i do not think you are being alarmist if you take his threats seriously and literally.

Imagine yourself as a parent in Tehran, hearing news of Trump threatening to destroy your entire civilization and now having to tell a bedtime story to your children. This is the reality of thousands of people.

Like even if this all ends without an escalation from the present level of bloodshed Trump and his administration should be held accountable for the threat alone. Making this threat, on its own, is a crime against humanity.

7 hours of silence from the Prime Minister. The US is using UK bases. The President is openly talking about destroying a civilisation. And Downing Street says... nothing. If you won’t speak up now, when will you?

The US president is currently announcing his plan to commit mass crimes against humanity in a matter of hours. The UK needs to urgently suspend all cooperation with American forces.

The BBC has been publishing stories from a journalist who is pro Shah and has made extreme edits to quotes from supposed Iranians, including calls for their country to be nuked. Make of this what you will.

Same energy as this post. They'd gladly accept millions dead, war crimes, rampant corruption, rapists in charge, and every other issue with the Trump admin as long as they get to hate trans people openly. It's a sickness. bsky.app/profile/leba...

I'm confused. Shamima Begum is not allowed back into the UK because she was groomed into becoming an ISIS bride when she was just a child, but Al Golani, the man who was a literal leader of ISIS and Al Qaida is allowed to visit Downing Street? How does that work?

Wish the new world would hurry up and be born already. Getting fed up with these monsters all over the place.

It's weird to me that people argue we can't go fully renewable because it's noeliable. 'The sun isn't always shining.' Dude, the sun literally rises every morning. That's the thing about the sun. It's very predictable. We just need batteries to store it. Can you say the same about oil supply?

Agent Trump, they are onto you. Grab your go bag and get out of there.
