Speaking out against science fiction threats is a great way for these people to cosplay activism with zero risk to their reputations, careers, or wealth. So brave - what if robots from the future try to kill them?!!

This is Prince Andrew's pad. If I did what he did, could I be punished by being forced to live in a luxury country house?

I've never heard of this Lam person before a few days ago. Is she a relic of the National Front or something?

The thing to understand about Robert Peston is, he is ferociously intellectually incurious. Genuinely one of the laziest men in journalism. You'd think this would make him unsuited for his role, but you'll understand more when you recognise it's exactly why he has the highly paid position he does.

Labour and tuition fees, then and now.

Is Peston suggesting that Western democracies (albeit, apartheid states) should get a free pass on genocide? This raises all kinds of questions, not least over whether, if equally capable of committing crimes against humanity, liberal democracy has any value other than being a Get Out of Jail card

Trump university. Trump casino. Trump peace.

The whole Maccabi Tel Aviv thing demonstrates that there's only a thin line between Tommy Robinson and the British political establishment (including Labour, the Tories, Liberal Democrats and Reform).

I've not seen Monkey Man before. Man, what a movie.

Hmm, only 10 years ago, what happened in the interim??

I spend a year plotting a mystery novel and then this happens.

The frequency with which there are major Internet outages is concerning. One day, something major is going to fall over, and we're suddenly going to be shunted back to the mid-90s without a clue how to do anything. Has anyone still got a fax machine?

I think it's perfectly reasonable to ask whether the late Queen Elizabeth contributed to the settlement paid to Virginia Giuffre? The Head of State paying off a victim of sex trafficking to save her son the embarrassment of appearing in court is a pretty huge deal.

My son joined the Green Party. There would have been a time when a young, leftwing progressive student from a working class background living in the north of England would have joined the Labour Party. It would have been a no-brainer. Not any more and, most likely, never again.

The United States is run by a bunch of immature little children.

But keeps the title Prince and will still live on the Royal Estate at Windsor. Oh the punishment! Pure spin from Buckingham Palace

Was waiting for this. Starmer hasn't thought this through has he

You have to marvel at how relentlessly insulting British politics is

The media seems to forget to mention that when Tel Aviv Maccabi fans went to Amsterdam, there were reports they chanted “we will f**k the arabs” and ““There are no schools in Gaza because there are no children left.” They also pulled down Palestinian flags. They were met with attacks from locals.

It's time for Labour to stop splitting the anti Reform vote and stand down at elections.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro has announced an unprecedented initiative to support the reconstruction of Gaza, ordering that gold seized from drug traffickers be used to fund medical care for injured Palestinian children. Read: www.middleeastmonitor.com/20251016-col...

"The case is proceeding." South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa says the US-backed agreement to end Israel's war on Gaza will have no bearing on his country’s case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ). 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/xhyzpq

Given everything we already know about the United States, why do you think Trump is threatening Venezuela? A. Principled opposition to the Maduro government B. Concern about drugs C. Oil 🤔 (btw, none of those reasons would justify US aggression towards a sovereign state)

Oh, dear God 😬 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

We’ve met with Greta Thunberg and others in the flotilla. They describe hours-long scenes of torture and sexual harassment in Israeli captivity. Experts conclude that they have been subjected to serious crimes – Sweden’s foreign minister believes they have themselves to blame. tinyurl.se/crR

Rutgers professor Mark Bray has fled the country after Turning Point USA launched a concerted online campaign that dubbed him “Dr. Antifa.”

Read my two letters to the #UK: 1. Protests: I call for a review of the legal framework and the reconsideration of provisions in the Crime & Policing Bill that could restrict freedom of assembly. 2. Trans people: I warn against exclusion&zero-sum approaches 👇#HumanRights www.coe.int/en/web/commi...

The West is going to suffer terrible consequences from Israel's genocide. New column 👇 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

🚨BREAKING: Major human rights report finds that counter-terror laws being WEAPONISED against pro-Palestine groups in the UK, US, France and Germany. If Russia or China did this, we'd call it authoritarian. So why are we silent when western democracies attack our right to protest?

think I'd be risking a blood pressure incident if I actually read this book. but good that it's out there I guess, not that the perpetrators are ever going to suffer the consequences they deserve

Imagine if this was a billionaire from Russia or China with close links to their government. However, our politicians and state institutions are so wedded to an outdated Atlanticist mindset that they simply can't conceive of the United States as being a major threat to British democracy.

Starmer’s illiberal protest curbs would have killed the Labour party at birth. The rights we enjoy in the UK, and the movement the PM purports to lead, were built on protest. Those rights are in dire peril. @georgemonbiot.bsky.social on point as ever. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Concerned about what the peace means for Palestinians? Concerned whether there will be peace at all? Concerned about accountability for the Israeli genocide? Shabana Mahmood has this to say to you.

Prime Minister of Pakistan Shehbaz Sharif. Frankly embarrassing.

Either side with crazy far-right American billionaires or side with the antichrist? (the only problem is that the antichrist doesn't exist)

Tbf, I'd probably buy one of these when he dies as a macabre artefact. Like when people collect the belongings of dead serial killers.

Greens growing. Reform ratttled. PS - I changed my name back to my family's original Jewish name because I'm proud of being Jewish. If Tice think that makes me a weirdo, I think that makes him an antisemite. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Yet again, the satirical media doing a far better job at conveying the truth than the mainstream press.

"For the past 2 years we've witnessed govts around the world, including the UK, choosing to act in a way that is essentially geared towards dismantling international law & protecting Israel from accountability..." Aimee Shalan from the @britpalcommitt.bsky.social

#OtD 10 or 19 Oct 1609 pioneering English revolutionary Gerrard Winstanley was born. He was a farmworker and the primary theoretician of the Diggers, or True Levellers, during the English Civil War who took over enclosed lands and farmed them stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8239...

CHICAGO — Outside an elementary school during dismissal… horrifying. What have we become?

I didn't watch Question Time. I assume that Zack Polanski said all the things that the Labour representative wished they could have said, but they're not allowed to because it might upset billionaires, the rightwing press, and the far-right US government.

News of the ‘first phase’ of a ceasefire in Gaza is a moment of real hope. This must be the first step of many, including release of all hostages, full humanitarian access to Gaza, and self-determination for Palestinians.

The Guardian have given Jeremy Hunt a column to explain that infant mortality in the NHS is down to blame culture, actually. Not the rancid ghouls who gutted the system for personal gain.

Hey Microsoft, before you transform humanity with artificial general intelligence, can you just get the search to work on Outlook?
