this is an absolutely world-class troll

Aftonbladet's interview with Greta Thunberg is now available in English - it raises many serious questions, not least about the Swedish govt. effectively abandoning its citizens to torture because it doesn't agree with their politics. A thundering disgrace. www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/25...

I don’t usually cover breaking news, but this story is truly wild. A pastor in central PA brought an AR-15 to church and pointed it at people during his sermon. Gun safety experts and internet commentators are, predictably, not happy! (Paywall free link below) www.pennlive.com/news/2025/10...

The Israeli occupation of Palestine will continue, there is no deal on ending the Israeli siege on medicine and food, and logistically it will take 15 years and $50 to $110 billion dollars to rebuild Gaza infrastructure and residential structures if Israel allows it.

US ‘undermining global health’ by threatening to strip funding from aid projects that do not fit its political agenda

Execs at Oracle, the likely new owner of TikTok, are VERY outspoken in Israeli media about the company's "mission to support the State of Israel" & "unequivocal support for Israel." Insufficiently pro-Israel Oracle staff receive mental health counseling. responsiblestatecraft.org/oracle-tikto...

Ru is thoroughly fascist right now. “What awaits Russia in future? War awaits Russia. We must turn towards war. It is woven into the pattern of our destiny. The question ‘war or no war?’ does not exist. … War is a spiritual metaphysical phenomenon... workersliberty.org/story/2025-1...

Greta Thunberg is not in the Epstein files, but Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and Donald Trump are.

Let me get this straight: Link, a Black user, got banned for calling out the Bluesky CEO for following a racist. That’s not a good look, especially given Bluesky’s historical treatment of Black users here on bluesky.

Over 2 million people across Italy have rallied in more than 100 cities for a one-day general strike.

Schöningen never stops to amaze! Scientists have just recovered 300,000-year-old #horse #aDNA from the site 🤯 the oldest ever found in open air. And those horses? Ancestors of all modern horses 🐎🧬 🧪🏺🦣 Links here 👇 Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Press: uni-tuebingen.de/en/universit...

Jane Goodall's work insisting, with evidence from her brilliant and tenacious fieldwork, that we were not so separate from animals, and they were much more like us than the Eurocentric theorists asserted, was so important.

R.I.P Jane Goodall (1934-2025). She was an absolute hero in the conservation realm and an inspiration for so many of us struggling for a saner world. Her legacy will last for a millennia. 💚💚💚

While today he presents himself as the defender of Palestinians under Israeli bombardment, the Russian intervention in Syria was supported by Labour’s former leader Jeremy Corbyn, and his director of communications Seamus Milne. This is why Syrians continue to despise him. bsky.app/profile/ozka...

Redfash is an often used synonym for tankies or authoritarian leftists, that usually fall within communist spectrum. Some tankies reject the label as contradictory or as a smear campaign… but then some embrace it and openly glorify nazism. 🧵

A lot of tankie and nazi takes on history to me also resemble midwit people learning to question things they were taught but not actually grasping why or how we do that. So instead of a firm commitment to the truth they find themselves guided away from the default opinion by their prejudices alone

This is surprisingly under-appreciated among ‘Marxist’ - Leninists: in his own life Marx absolutely distinguished between better and worse capitalist states and often gave critical support to less bad capitalists. I don’t know if it’s Lenin or Stalin who flattened the distinction

Exactly 86 years ago, the arguably worst agreement in human history was signed - a friendship treaty between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. Most people do not know about this second Hitler Stalin Pact, perhaps, because the Kremlin does not want them to know. @associationpolhist.bsky.social

Polish researchers estimate that in 1950 (so at the peak) there were about 3 mln people imprisoned in Soviet gulag system. In comparison about 1,9 mln people are held in US prisons as of today. These are both huge numbers… but Soviets killed about 60 mln people in the gulags on the top of that!

I don't think it's wrong to say that Karl Polanyi has been always marginalised as an economist and social theorist, even among leftists. However, in the last two decades there has been a remarkable surge of interest in his work across social sciences and humanities. #economics #polsci #edusky

As much as I value Marx as a major contributor to XIX century political science, economics and philosophy, his works are merely a curiosity when confronted with current reality on the ground. I’d rather start with Foucault, Graeber, Scott, Derrida, Zuboff, and toss up Adorno, Marcuse, Horkheimer.

Your few words of #tankiewisdom for today 😂

I think this is the movie for tonight 😀

Czech friend of mine uses this meme to explain to Americans what a "Soviet Boomer" is.

Medals for soldiers who shot unarmed women and children on their own land? No wonder you like Russia so much

Well you heard it from The Economist 🤓

Around 360 gas stations in Russia have shut down due to fuel shortages, according to Russian media. The crisis is most severe in the south, with a 14% drop in stations, while in occupied Crimea and Sevastopol nearly half have closed.

A new poll published by Polish outlet wp.pl is out now! It answers the question if Poles are in favour of shooting down russian airplanes in their air space. Indeed, 40,5% are strongly for it, and 27,1% are rather for it. In total, only 9,7% of Poles are against it… strongly or not.

The prime minister of Denmark has formally apologised for a Danish health programme of forced contraception which for decades systematically implanted coils into young women in Greenland. Read @georgvh.com's article: www.channel4.com/news/denmark...

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

❗️Trump:We stopped the conflict between Cambodia and Armenia. It was just starting and it was a bad one.

Let me know when they get to his secret MLM youth running threads on moneyless future on reddit 😃

When speaking to Tommy Robinson at the far right demonstration in London today, Elon Musk wore a t-shirt saying "What would Orwell think?" So let's dive in - what would George Orwell think about Tommy Robinson and Elon Musk? 🧵

“The big perspective change from ancient DNA study is that people living today are almost never the descendants of the people in the same place thousands of years before” news.harvard.edu/gazette/stor...

I believe this shift to be important both for discussing the current political choices of Gazans and what will happen after this massacre comes to an end!

Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.
