A Russian tale..

Astonishing data here on what @mrjamesob.bsky.social would call the 'footballification' (horrible word that should be banned) of the American electorate.

Ian's on a roll - brilliant & serious but simultaneously funny (a very hard trick to pull off) that should be widely read.

Nobody does sarky comments like Ian ...

Farage is totally corruptible He must be sacked as MP to never return in any form !!!

Her name is Dr. Tatiana Erukhimova, PhD (Physics) and she loves to teach. 😃 people.tamu.edu/~etanya/

This piece is a model of concise clear writing, suggesting that a humanities degree is not a waste of time.

Fuck Facebook.

Enemies of the people?

Really important article just appeared about the roots of the Ukrainians air power strategy which is being so effective now. It was years in the making. www.wsj.com/opinion/ukra...

A must-read. Everyone should know about this. 👇🏽

Happy birthday to the heatwave of 1976 which began today 50 years ago, peaking at 35.9°C. If a comparable heatwave happened in the current climate it would be 3-4°C hotter, peaking at 38-39°C. And the actual forecast is for temperatures of 38-39°C in the next few days with a red heatwave warning.

Europe is melting! The size, intensity, and longevity of this #heatwave is enormous. Peak temperatures will reach 45°C / 100-115°F this week in #France. You are looking at temperature anomalies in the cloud layer over the next 2 weeks, which peak at +20°C… 1/

No joy to be found today. No satisfaction. Just frustration and a profound sense of squandered opportunity iandunt.substack.com/p/the-traged...

I’m really glad President Zelenskyy is saying this out loud. More people need to realize this.

Only a bollard is brave enough to stop a burning runway car. WE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN. #WorldBollardAssociation 🇮🇳

Belfast knife suspect won asylum in Britain under 'fast-track' scheme introduced by UK Tory govt. Then home secretary Suella Braverman and immigration minister Robert Jenrick – who have both since defected to Reform - oversaw the introduction of the scheme. They have a few questions to answer.

Left: Nigel Farage, "None of you have been elected, none of you have any democratic legitimacy for the roles you currently hold" Right: Telegraph, "Farage wants US-style Cabinet instead of elected MPs"

Hurricane season is upon us. So how active will it be and where will storms form this season? Using El Niño and Atlantic Ocean temps, Here’s a quick soup to nuts breakdown on the season ahead. #hurricaneseason #HurricaneSeason2026 #florida #ElNino

This video is an absolute masterclass in Hitchensism because at no point does he actually mention what Graham Phillips has done (moved to occupied Donbas in March 2022 to make propaganda films for the Russian government).

Hi All, Just sent out this post. After all the talk about Trump's impending deal with Iran surfaced over the weekend, there really is only one question left. How badly has the USA lost this war? The possible answers are grim. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Repost if you’d like me to represent the UK at #Eurovision 2027.

Does that include the £5mn?

While all eyes are on Farage, we're overlooking something even worse: the building of the very tight and truly vile operation that is Restore Britain. This excellent essay/report by Simon Pearson should wake us up to the threat - and to what exactly it is. simonpearson1.substack.com/p/tory-30

1/ Why is atmospheric CO₂ accelerating faster than fossil fuel emissions are growing? The answer is buried in the data, and it's more worrying than most people realise. A thread. 🧵👇

Put this person in charge.

The quid pro quo of a Starmer leadership was that - fine - we weren't getting a storyteller or a charisma powerhouse, but we'd at least get serious, competent leadership committed to delivery. In fact we got neither.

This is what normalisation looks like.

If you like data, here is something interesting for you: Bridget Phillipson interview on LK: 9m 40" LK number of interruptions/talking over: 31 Richard Tice interview on LK: 8m 23" LK number of interruptions/talking over: 9

Fascinating update from P OB on the UKR situation. Includes a link to an X clip of the devastating drone war. This still from that X clip is the final second of a Russian squaddie's life; shows a terrified man in his 40s I reckon.

Arresting 10,000s of people will require the harassment of 100s of 000s. This would be a fascist police state. Which shows (among other things) that the far-right's claims to be libertarian have always been an evil fraud.

On the face of it a bizarre prosecution for 'criminal damage' of a woman who removed a crustacean from captivity as a 'pet' in a sea animal restaurant and released them back into the sea. Thread.

Ukraine is putting relentless pressure on Israel now. The Netanyahu government has made a catastrophic error by siding with Putin's dictatorial government.

McSweeney: "We procured two strong candidate for [the PM]: One was Mandelson and the other was George Osborne." Christ above. What did the weak candidates look like.

I couldn't breathe because I was laughing so hard. That bird's an asshole! 😂😂😂😂😂 Best with volume up.

Royal Mail privatisation scandal Today price of 1st class mail rises to £1.80 - an increase of 10p; 2nd class, by 4p to 91p. When privatized in 2013 by Tory/LibDem Govt: 1st class 60p; 2nd class 50p. Royal Mail hasn't met letter delivery targets, but price still rises. Regulators do what?

🚨Stop the Thames Water creditors 🚨 The creditors are closing in on a deal They want to dodge fines and dump sewage freely This deal would reward Thames Water's abysmal failure, setting a tragic new low for every single water company We've got to stop them. Email your MP now.

What happens when you stand up to a bully interviewer ...

Unforgiveable.

What this further confirms is that the Trump administration knows Russia is helping Iranians try to kill Americans, but is doing nothing to stop it. How about sanctions or more arms sales to Ukraine?

Incredibly normal to be banging on the door of the Quakers repeatedly but allowing literal organisations such as Britain first to stalk homes of refugees and domestic violence survivors every weekend. Totally normal is this government. Not worried at all.
