All lawyers have to undertake a ‘conflict check’ before taking on a new client. For Nigel Farage & George Cottrell to be sharing the same lawyers, it means the convicted money launderer & Reform leader’s interests are aligned. In what way? And who’s paying? 2/

Oh fuck we're not only replaying the Tory government now we're replaying the Starmer government. It's like being stuck in Sapphire and Steel.

I strongly believe in giving the man a chance. But keeping Shabana Mahmood as Home Secretary suggests the vicious attacks on immigrants and refugees, and self-defeating attempts to outrun the far right, are likely to continue. Which is pretty damn depressing. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Ken Paxton owns 15 homes and most Texans can't afford one ... vote for James Talarico !

Farage is in trouble – polls show voters think he’s a danger to Britain

I visited the small town of Marfa, TX. A local mariachi band greeted us with a song they wrote for our campaign! Our Frontera Tour has been full of special moments — but this was a highlight. 🎶

The air is full of smoke, the food is full of parasites, and the water is full of data center bacteria but at least we stopped all that DEI children's cancer research!

You can be so poor that everyone that comes after is a beacon of hope 🙏

Fingers crossed but it will take a miracle to get me back. I’m a card carrying watermelon 🍉 and like what Zac says

firemap.live Climate emergency, anyone? Drill , baby, drill 😳

I used Claude to google for directions, then this happened: Me: Claude? Did you just give me a short cut to delete my project instead of how to toggle off registration marks? Claude: I am sorry, that was the wrong keyboard shortcut. Me: What the hell, Claude?! Future of computing, my ass.

Well, the temperature in the Pacific Ocean along the Nino 3.4 region of the equator has shot up so high, so fast, that they have had to expand the chart. So no, we've never measured or experienced anything like it. Watch for the next incoming record deadly heat dome.

'Existence is resistance': Javier Bardem's message for Palestine at France-Spain World Cup match A fan at the France-Spain semi-final match at the 2026 World Cup gave Spanish Hollywood actor Javier Bardem a Palestinian flag, thanking him for his support of the Palestinian people.

28 years of cyclosporiasis testing Screwworms eradicated in the US in 1966. Measles eradicated in the US in 2000. All are back because of this science denying administration.

The greatest asset on Earth isn't oil, gold, or diamonds—it's clean, drinkable water.

Look at that face. An affable man of the people

We are all anti palantir campaigners

Yup … technology is not all it’s cracked up to be … #cdnpoli

Humanity is waking up to the price we, Mother Earth, & her creatures are paying for our #speciesnarcissism. We & our religions have put us at the center of the universe for far too long. “I think therefore I am” (Descartes) summarizes our neurosis (or #originalsin). tinyurl.com/9j9dcybb

I know people who clung onto the Labour Party in the slim chance that after Keir Starmer things might have been different. Labour consistently revealing there's absolutely no plan for change. The puurpose is to maintain power & wealth for the super rich. Join.greenparty.org.uk

It's a sign of how shockingly corrupt this country has become that a nominee for Attorney General is given a hearing by the Senate *the very same week* he has been referred by a judge for possible disbarment for unethical behavior. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I completely understand 1930-40s Germany now.

The cyclospora outbreak isn't only a public health issue. It's economic. Farms, produce suppliers, restaurants, grocery stores, are all going to take a hit (and likely already are) as fruits and vegetables go to waste and are left to rot because the trust is gone. If only we still had regulations...

I'm a boomer and have millennial and gen-z daughters who understand why we have vaccines and believe in them. It's not a generational thing. It's an intelligence, critical thinking, feelings over facts thing.

Farage emerges… to headline a crypto-backed conference The Reform leader is to deliver the keynote speech at a conference with a ‘strategic partnership’ with the Bitcoin Collective #TheNewWorld www.thenewworld.co.uk/rats-in-a-sa...

Reason no. 341 why I loathe the Daily Mail

I believe that solar panels will become more efficient yet. That wind power and tidal/wave action will eventually overtake any need of hydrocarbons.

Californians are pumping the AC to stay cool this summer, but we haven’t had a Flex Alert to conserve power since 2022. Why? Because California invested in battery storage to make sure we meet our growing energy needs while taking care of the planet. ⚡🌎

🔴 For the past year @lucasamin.bsky.social and I have been investigating Palantir in the UK What we found was a company with unrivalled political access, selling a product many data experts in the NHS don’t use, and don’t rate Please read and share democracyforsale.substack.com/p/its-just-a...

Truly awful that this loathsome individual was re elected to the presidency as a felon, and is now an adjudicated rapist who has finally paid his court ordered penalty for defaming the woman he raped. How much lower can we fall?

Alastair Campbell: "No he is not. Farage, finally, is being treated as a politician rather than a cheeky chappy commentator. He got away with so much for so long he thought he could do anything for ever."

He’s not just a good footballer 💗💗🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚽️

Why is Farage worried about his personal security? He's been given five million to pay for it.

So we're going to be sitting on a stockpile of oil looking like idiots when every other country has turned to renewables, and China is running on batteries that last for years.

Fun fact. His boss Farage literally resigned as an MP to avoid scrutiny

Council chiefs fed up with Reform councillors’ conduct More than half of senior council managers think councillors’ standards of behaviour are getting worse

2,700+ people died in the May and June heatwaves. Climate change is estimated to be responsible for 42% of those deaths. Here's Reform UK's response. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/reform-uk-havering-council-climate-emergency-scrapped-b1289760.html

And that in the Torygraph 🤔

Meanwhile.... The "grassroots" mask is off. A wild new openDemocracy investigation has traced Reform UK's biggest players, cash, and shell companies right back to a single grubby back-office in Montenegro.

Don’t forget that garage quit as an mp to deflect attention from his grifting before the sad murder of the strictly lady Then he became more concerned about his security Deflection?

This week is going to be stupid. Next week will be worse, and the week after that even worse..., and then we will have elections. The days after that, it'll be so bad that we will miss these days.
