The super-rich rightwing are pouring money into Reform. Do ordinary voters really think their aim is to even out social inequality and make their lives better? Do they think they’re doing it so Farage invests in infrastructure and public services? Ffs. Democracy being beaten to death in plain sight.

Once a symbol of unity and hope across Europe, the Eurovision Song Contest has been turned into a pink-washing front for war criminals in Israel. After today's decision, there must be a global boycott of Eurovision.

For generations, the Trafalgar Square Christmas tree has brought light to the heart of London. Thank you, Norway, for this gift of friendship since 1947.

The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the dignity of the United States military. That's why the military has the right to refuse illegal orders. Illegal orders could ruin the military.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Gary Lineker on Gaza, "It's the worst thing I have seen in my lifetime. Constant images day in, day out of children losing their lives." "But the minute you raise your voice against it you get accused of being a supporter of Hamas."

BOE Cuts Banks’ Benchmark Capital Requirements. Just as the AI bubble readies to burst, and shadow banking is running amok. Lower buffers will reduce bank ability to absorb shocks. Guess who will bail out banks? We haven't recovered from the last crash. archive.ph/ivAJV

“Real scientist are delighted when they find out they wrong... There are too many people in this world who want to be right. And too few who just want to know.” ― Brian Cox

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

Who knew that a chancellor who worked firstly for the Bank of England, and then HBOS, and who was investigated for misuse of funds before "taking voluntary redundancy", would choose billionaires over the rest of us? #ColourMeShocked

The ‘Vogelherd Horse’ was excavated in 1931, together with a number of other ivory animal figurines from the Vogelherd Cave in Germany’s Swabian Jura. It is on display at the Museum of Ancient Cultures, Tübingen. Museum record: www.emuseum.uni-tuebingen.de/objects/1862...

Something ancient and wonderful for the weekend! 🤩 The world’s oldest known sculpture of a horse! This tiny figurine was carved from mammoth ivory by an Ice Age artist some 40,000 years ago! 📷 by me #Archaeology

We have spent more than 1,000 years trying to separate the awesome prosecutorial powers of the state from the personal whims and vendettas of the head of state. Trump’s actions and ideology seek to reverse those gains. Here’s the history he’d like to reverse www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/the-oldest...

We have already rewound the climate clock to the Pliocene (3C hotter, sea levels ~20m higher) If we keep on as we are, the even hotter Miocene beckons Inaction will see our world reprise the early Eocene hothouse, bringing potential oblivion

The country wants a wealth tax on assets. They're panicking because "won't the rich just leave" has been utterly debunked. They've got no actual argument. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu are habitual liars. So why, we might ask, do so many journalists and politicians act as if a ceasefire is in place, even as Israel’s bombing and killing in Gaza rages on? www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-gaz...

Funny how the people screaming about “migrant mobs” skip over the original one: a boatload of desperate Europeans who arrived uninvited, were fed, sheltered, and taught how to survive… and then repaid that kindness with violence, theft, and genocide. 🙃

Soup tastes better when you are eating it out of your most beloved bowl. Coffee or tea taste better when you are drinking them from your most cherished mug. A book is more captivating when you’re reading it in your preferred chair. Denying these facts is akin to denying science itself.

Remember when Trump’s sons announced a made-in-the-USA smartphone and a new wireless service, Trump Mobile? Three months later, the phone’s ship date keeps getting delayed with no explanation — although the company continues to collect $100 deposits. The grift never ends.

The world may be quite turbulent at the moment, but I think we can all take at least some solace in the fact that libraries, cafés, bookstores, bakeries, museums, and Oxford commas exist.

We’re about to invade Venezuela because trump wants their oil. No other reason. The airspace has been cleared. Embassies are being evacuated. Flights are being canceled. He’s going to kill people for oil.

More settler attacks were recorded in the Occupied Palestinian territories in October 2025 than in any month since 2006.

This world carries darkness in abundance, shadows that stretch long and cold. Joy is the medicine that mends what breaks, the balm that soothes what aches, the light that refuses to be extinguished. Seek joy in each dawn that breaks—let it be your daily practice, your ritual. Gurdeep.ca/magazine

Russia now increased the amount of extremely valuable soil (agricultural land) that it holds in Ukraine. I assume this will be part of the "this war was a success" narrative that the Kremlin will eventually push. Source: buff.ly/aRLm1rq

#OtD 23 Nov 1936 over 500,000 people came out onto the streets of Barcelona to attend the funeral of anarchist militant, Buenaventura Durruti, killed during the Spanish Civil War: the biggest funeral in Spanish history. Related historical fiction: stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9598...

Curse of Private Equity. Four of UK's biggest dental firms have raked in £1.2bn gross profit over the past two years, Market controlled by My Dentist, PortmanDentex, Rodericks Dental, and Bupa Dental Services. Prices 3.5 times more than NHS dentist. No govt curbs profiteering.

So you can as Gemini AI to generate an image of a specific place at a specific time. The result is interesting, I must admit, but historically accurate? No, of course not. I asked it to generate an Image of Dam Square on May 7th, 12:30 and 12:40. It depicted the shooting:

'PFI was a disaster - Labour musn't repeat it' Read our LabourList article, which warns this government against using new NHS private finance - no matter what name it's packaged under.

Profiting from aiding a sadistic, murderous regime attacking a sovereign country? Nigel’s got that covered.

Gill is being sentenced today for 8 counts of bribery from a Russian agent. Follow @thenerve.news for updates throughout the day. This is why it matters & this is who it harmed: Ukrainian protestors outside the Old Bailey.

Jacob Rees-Mogg like Rishi Sunak has registered all his assets in tax havens, because they don't 'belong' to him in the UK they aren't taxed here. So his tax bill is negligible, he doesn't need to leave to dodge tax. This con needs to be stopped.

It's a good thing President Obama killed Osama Bin Laden because otherwise Trump would be inviting him to the White House for some goddamn hors d'oeuvres
