I bet there’s hundreds of thousands of people who were born in the uk who would fail these tests. Are we going to deport them?

Larry Ellison envisions a surveillance state in which techbros rule. '“Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on,” Ellison said in an hour-long Q&A during Oracle’s Financial Analyst Meeting last week.'

Call the police, there’s been a murder… #Lab25

Great turnout at today’s Kidical Mass ride in Orleans, Ottawa. Shows there’s an appetite for cycling outside the core. #KidicalMassRide #Ottawa #Orleans @cgow.bsky.social

Ok. They’ve pissed me off. I’m back to tell you 3 things about ID cards: 1. Migrants ALREADY HAVE biometric ID cards & govts have been trying to digitise them for years w repeated fuckups & failures causing complete chaos - they don’t work, you do not want that system for you.

Two weeks ago, Kerry and Egor were taken from us by a reckless driver and known dangerous infrastructure. Tonight we went with their families and installed their tandem ghost bike.

As Reform's Nathan Gill admits taking bribes from Russian 'secret service pawn' Oleg Voloshyn, here’s a nice photo of Nigel Farage with Voloshyn’s wife.

What on Earth is this? An "in depth" BBC article about free speech in the UK that only cites examples of right-wing/ 'anti-woke' speech being suppressed. How can you mention Lucy Connolly but completely ignore Palestine Action / Just Stop Oil? Gob-smacking. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Look at Lord Admiral Fellatio Nelson here with his epaulettes, cravat, mad hair and racist bullshit, getting handed his arse by Bonnie Greer.

The Yorkshire pudding that fell off the baking tray into the back of the oven and you discover it the next time the oven goes on

Plugge is probably a caring manager but he has blinders on and is not a great thinker. He has more money (at his disposal) than sense and gets duly eviscerated by @defector.com 's Patrick Redford. #LaVuelta25 #procycling

Jimmy Kimmel wasn't being totally factually inaccurate, but more to he point, *he was telling a joke.* Censorship of comedians is pretty textbook authoritarian behavior. @timmiller.bsky.social and @samsteindc.bsky.social:

I’m not sure how I feel about Kimmel’s replacement, tbh.

Pretty much the prefect video for our times. They insist their tech is about to reach the level of self-awareness but it still autocorrects were for we're.

In London, hate will never win.

NOTHING will prepare you for this 45-second story arc. From "I'm just doing this because I love the flag, it's totally grassroots, and I'm not part of anything political"... to who actually gave him the flags the night before. Anyone who believes it is an innocent movement needs to see this.

The Reform UK conference gives a standing ovation to "special guest" Lucy Connolly, who pled guilty to stirring up racial hatred after she called for asylum hotels to be set on fire with people inside them.

Dr Aseem Malhotra tells the Reform UK conference: “It’s highly likely that the Covid vaccines have been a significant factor in the cancer of members of the Royal Family.” There is no evidence for this claim. The referenced professor is an ex UKIP candidate. Covid vaccinees are safe and effective.

Chris Mason is a profoundly unserious man who writes about politics as if it were a video game with no real consequences. True to form, this article is purely about optics. Not a single policy is mentioned www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Andrea Jenkyns sings "God Save the Queen" at the Reform UK conference. We haven't had a queen in almost three years. Phoney patriots.

On the same day in the Telegraph:

Just like when Boris Johnson paid for a £3,800,000 house with cash, the newshounds at The Mail and Express will conveniently lose their sense of smell.

This is vile. Local guy speaks to Sky News about the impact of asylum seekers protests. Watch what happens and share widely

I guess this is what we're going to have to get used to... NHS Worker (and British citizen of Filipino origin) with 15 years of service abused whilst walking with her family in W Yorkshire. She's leaving the country and I'm sorry. The tone from the top is always heard at the bottom.

Douglas Carswell’s massive racism update:

Cyclists, don't forget to wear hi viz!

there was a fat bloke in a vest trying to paint on Wootton Basset mini roundabout yesterday and the landlord of the pub over the road came outside and told him to, and I quote, "go home you silly old cunt" so he did. This is how you deal with these people.

The rich also cause much more pollution, time to make them pay for ruining everybody's environment and posing a threat to our safety. www.theguardian.com/environment/... www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Happy #skynet day everyone.

The good thing about flag-shagging 'patriots' is that they are so monumentally thick that they film themselves committing racially aggravated criminal damage and post it on the internet, making it nice and easy for the police to find them.

Think I'll read this once a week forever. Patricia Routledge, I love you.

I like presidents who know Slavery is bad, not "WOKE."

The Trump regime is banning gender affirming care coverage for federal employees while mandating conversion therapy coverage. Absolute bullshit. www.erininthemorning.com/p/trump-admi...

Whilst you're busy shouting about the boats, the Billionaires are sitting on their piles of money laughing themselves to sleep.

We all agreed privatisation would bring down prices. We all thought Iraq had those weapons. We all spent too much before the 08 crisis. We all cheered on wrecking the public realm with years of austerity, we all decided to help Johnson Get Brexit Done, we all believed Labour would deliver Change

Observer: it will launch in September this year, with a budget of around £2.5m and ambitions to raise £25m to spend 'on policy formation, identifying candidates and hiring advisers and spokespeople for Reform or a possible merged Reform-Tory party' observer.co.uk/news/politic...
