Tankie fest 2026 AKA Nuestra América aid convoy for Cuba is on. Featuring all your fave Vatniks, Putinists, Assadists, Hamasniks, CCCP stans, IRGC fans, Chavezists, & useful idiots (hang on that's all the same thing🤔) All bonded by their one true love: Commie dictators. - Jezza & Owen Jones obvs

I shall take this opportunity to listen to Laser Guided Melodies by Spiritualized

Who wants to see Russia Today "reporter" Steeve Sweeney ( contender for UK's worst vatnik & former editor of commie rag Morning Star) on the Al-Qasmiya Bridge over the Litani River in S. Lebanon. A bridge that's ALREADY been hit by guided munition, and he's too dumb to think a second will come

Eek. MS couldn't give US feds a dataflow diagram showing where encryption was happening on each server hop, not even just for Exchange... As the article states it's all "security theatre". Anyone who's dealt with UK gov Cyber Essentials woo will know the feeling www.propublica.org/article/micr...

Good lord... Last month Palestinian Authority President Abbas "laid the foundation stone for the multi-purpose Grand Mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini Hall" al-Husseini was an honest to god friggin n4zi NB. The PA is often touted by UK/EU govs & media as "moderate" & we give them aid money

Don't worry folks Owen isn't just talking out of his behind. Prior to making this declaration about Heidi Bachram he checked her grandparents ancestry with the Reichsstelle für Sippenforschung (Reich Office for Family Research) 👍

Beautiful moment in the Fannichs on Saturday. An hour earlier it was grim - proper whiteout and navigating with a compass/counting steps.

My HR dept have emailed everyone to tell us it's "Neurodiversity Celebration Week". Ergo I will listen to Windowlicker by the Aphex Twin prior to every Teams meeting for the remainder of the week youtu.be/ZYiqb_2mPjo?...

Do you really think smashing the windows of establishments, just because they have even the most tenuous association with Jews, can be categorised as “petty symbolism”? What an abominable piece of writing.

I guess it makes him easier to slide out from under the rubble and to fit in the recycling bin.

I have no idea who Thomas Keith is but a lot of his tweets have been blowing up on both here and Twitter. All of his claims about things I know more than a little about have been false. This tweet is an example, he claims the classification date of a component to be the production date.

Proposal: IQ tests for prospective members of parliament

Die Washington Post trauert um Khamenei: "With his bushy white beard and easy smile, Ayatollah Khamenei cut a more avuncular figure in public" ... "he was known to be fond of Persian poetry and classic Western novels" @menawatch.bsky.social @eliyah.ha.vemann.de @mschaub.bsky.social

i built an entire x86 CPU emulator in CSS (no javascript) you can write programs in C, compile them to x86 machine code with GCC, and run them inside CSS lyra.horse/x86css/

The CPGB are the most unintentionally funny account on X, hands down

WTF Bernie built himself an orgone accumulator! Reminds me of how good Pop Will Eat Itself's Orgone Accumulator is. Vid in 2nd bleet

Ben Wyvis is floating in freezing fog today

Random stop and search by the right bad, by the left good.

The boyo has offended the comrades, double struggle session incoming

Everything we can see tells us that Putin is never going to admit that the West is not, in fact, an existential threat to Russia, because he personally depends on the idea. And of all the parts of the West that are seen as an existential threat to Russia, the UK is hated most of all.

Quelle surprise: Amu Gib, one of the PA hunger strikers real name is Amy Gardiner-Gibson “a queer activist affiliated with Palestine Action. Gib identifies with non-binary or gender-fluid pronouns and their activism intersects queer solidarity with Palestinian liberation efforts” But who is dad? 1/3

Todays crossover in kookery is Kit Klarenberg of Grayzone joining Gareth Icke on David Ickes website. Guess red-brownism is getting too stale so brew needs some reptilians.

🔺The Buzzer! Not that I pay too much attention but for those that do follow such nonsense, between 1800Z-1823Z the notorious Russian Forces “Buzzer” station played David Bowie “Starman” Make of that what you will!

I don’t know how much Zack Polanski knows about the history of allegations of divided loyalties against British Jews, but I’d suggest it’s probably something he doesn’t want to add a chapter to. A brief history of an antisemitic trope… 🧵 /1

Nato has evolved from being a credible military force designed to incapacitate ruzzia into some countries with leaders pronouncing words as "unprecedented" "unwavering support" "stand BEHIND" etc, believing they're as credible as during the cold war.

Here is another UK military procurement disaster - apparently, they are only buying 60 Trophy APS kits for 148 Challenger 3 tanks, because buying them for all those tanks would cost too much money... h/t @kestrus.bsky.social ukdefencejournal.org.uk/britains-nex...

My mistake has been trying to explain what "fascism" is to people who don't care what it is. So I'm going to try something else. Let's do this as a practical thought exercise. If America *were* fascist *today* - what would you have to do differently in your daily life? /1

Unless it plays out like this, it seems to me that talk of a coup against Starmer is a bit of an exaggeration youtu.be/EDOIzK8NuoU

Female Sparrowhawk just got a pigeon on the lawn, towards the end of the video it fly drags it to the hedge. A few minutes later 3 red kites rocked up and were circling overhead.

Crazy recent clip of ISIS and Boko Haram shooting each from boats on lake Chad. Keep it up lads (h/t to notwoofers in the other place)

OMFG the UK Green Party showing they can't do maths and should stick to tofu weaving & hypno-boobing. 1,000,000,000,000 /20,000,000,000=50 Oh and that's Elon's package for a decade. So err that'd be $5 a year for a UK nurse. I suppose it's one way to boost staff to patient ratios in the NHS...

The imagery coming out of Darfur of the RSF is so grim the BBC/Sky won't show it. Thomas van Linge has been covering it on X WARNING this is on par with 7/10 xcancel.com/ThomasVLinge... xcancel.com/ThomasVLinge... www.facebook.com/liganalfashe...

#OTD in 1944, Breda was liberated by Polish 1 Armoured Division, led by Stanisław Maczek. (Maczek was after the war stripped of Polish citizenship by the communists; he's buried in Breda.) #WW2 #HISTORY

Zarah Sultana complaining that Zelensky is “no friend of the working class” is a bit like when the British Communist Party didn’t want us to support “semi-fascist” Poland after it was invaded by Nazi Germany
