The oil pundit brain is fundamentally unsuited to dealing with climate as an issue. Scenarios depicting a transition to safe energy are treated as if they're forecasts, and correspondingly scoffed at as 'bad forecasts'. The idea of laying out a desirable future we should fight for is just weird

This orchestrated surrender to burning 19th century fuels gets framed as Very Serious, Adults-in-the-room realism rather than a weird, baffling choice to cause entirely avoidable suffering. I am so sick of it.

Trump's 'total fiction' economic boasts shot down one by one by CNN fact-checker

President Trump claims to be a “champion for the American worker,” yet the first year of his administration resulted in fewer jobs created, slowing wage growth, and rising costs for working-class Americans.

1. Today, Jared Kushner is in Geneva representing the US in high-stakes negotiations with Iran. It is a last ditch effort to avoid war. But Kushner has debilitating financial conflicts that makes a deal less likely.

This guy gets it. Seriously though, this feels like a moment of transition from the post-911 era into something darker, more Torrian, and more focused on policing American citizens

We reiterate our demands, we uphold the Palestinian boycott call, UEFA must expel Israel for its crimes against Palestinians, until then the FAI should refuse to play these fixtures. No-one should play the apartheid state, anywhere. #BanIsrael #FreePalestine

What exactly is RTÉ's reasoning for censoring this? Like what logic goes into this. Who are they protecting?

So the BBC promised Davidson and StudioCanal (who made I Swear) that any swearing tics would be edited out from broadcast, and instead they left them in despite a two hour delay, and even put a fucking microphone right in front of him to ensure they picked it up - he was sat at the back of room.

Activists from the anti-billionaire campaign group "Everyone Hates Elon" went to the Louvre museum in Paris where they hung a framed photograph of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, taken by Reuters photographer Phil Noble on February 19.

The continued failure of politicians to act is deeply troubling. Why when the evidence is so overwhelming and incontrovertible are they rolling back green policies. Who is pulling the strings and why are politicians listening to them and not the science. Source: Euronews.com search.app/oZCjR

Trump Demands Netflix Fire Susan Rice because she said things he doesn't like. Trump and GOP want to control every part of our lives --from what we can say about Trump to subjects allowed to be taught in schools to the jokes comedians can tell on TV. This is what a FASCIST movement looks like!

Thanks to the OBBB, Amazon’s tax bill for 2025 is $1.2 billion, down from $9 billion the year before despite a 45% jump in profits.

It’s never a bad time to quit using Amazon, folks. Been a year and a half and any minor inconvenience has been far outweighed by the satisfaction of not contributing to this man’s grotesque wealth and influence.

Yes, Fionnán, let’s talk about shame and the Catholic Church. Let’s talk about ALL of it.

Big Irish head seeks oppression to write about. Number 5007 in an infinite series.

This is somewhere between 40-50% of deployable US air power (and it’s still growing). On a scale with the Gulf Wars.

Remember that time the Supreme Court rejected something Barack Obama or Joe Biden strongly supported, and they went on to publicly attack the Court, verbally threaten the justices, and try to undermine the entire Judicial Branch of our government?

We are the laughingstock of the world because of our moronic and psychotic president. Deservedly so.

Here’s what I’ve learnt about cycling in a city with an 8 year old. For a start, many kids prefer to cycle than other ways of travelling. It gives them freedom and autonomy. And yes, even in the rain. Recently my daughter was offered a lift when it was hammering … 1/10

They don't like UKG, Jungle, Grime or any other very clearly English cultural forms. Yes it's very clearly English Nationalist, but it's also at a more fundamental level about burning away all cultural specificity to a purified core.

The main problem is that many politicians no longer work for us but for those who fund them. That's the only explanation for their failure to deal with this existential threat. Source: The Guardian search.app/3kijB

Chest binders are a common first step to explore gender identity. Restricting them could push people back to unsafe DIY methods.

Your Republican officeholder pedophile of the day.

The core of the problem is that right wing arguments are so burrowed into so many people's OODA loops that they think asking a facially neutral question about "policy" like a bathroom bill represents genuine neutrality. The problem is just by asking this, you're already on right wing terrain.

This platform needs way more freaking out about Alysa Liu. Oakland chill yet extreme excellence is the antidote to everything that’s so broken right now.

A Trump supporter named Wesley Dingus was elected mayor of Butler, Ohio, and was arrested this week for sniffing an underage girl’s underwear. You can’t make this shit up, folks.

Profoundly chronically depressed and upset and hurting inside. Braverman going off on a transphobic rant earlier this week kicked this off. It's not just that. It's indifference and uncaring attitudes of the media and institutions and politicians and cis people in general. No pushback. Nothing.

So faced with a winnable election in a previously safe Labour seat Nigel Farage picked: - A Tommy Robinson-backed oddball, with a history of racism and alleged sexual harassment - A holocaust-denying campaign manager who said he would "never touch a Jewish woman" Reform is not a serious operation

It's easy to idealize the past but I do think there was a time when "the Secretary of Labor's husband has been banned from her workplace because he wouldn't stop groping women" would be in the top five stories of the week.
