My local MP! @jessasatomp.bsky.social 🥳

WIRED@wired.com

Jess Asato’s public campaigning for victims of online abuse put her in the crosshairs of Grok’s deepfake scandal. Then the UK member of parliament became a victim of the abuse herself.

He must’ve just watched Pulp Fiction earlier in the day. 🙄

Trump on DC: "Nobody wanted to eat out. They were afraid. Even if you were in the restaurant, people would walk in and like the Wild West, 'Hold it up!' Everybody is standing there. Can you imagine? A fancy restaurant. They were robbing the whole restaurant. It's crazy."

The British syndrome, summarised: 78% of us say our high streets are important to us. But only 28% of us actually use their local high street even once a week – and only 53% of people said they used theirs *once a month*. We won't use it, and we won't lose it.

Attended a Tony Benn speech and he said the main function of a government was to make people feel safe. Farage is doing the opposite. The UK ISN'T broken. Farage needs to attend, say, a Park Run and see decent people getting on with their lives, not obsessing that others are having a better time.

People still talk about the foreign policy of the Trump administration as if (a) it's designed to advance US national interests, rather than private ones and (b) there's a reasonable expectation of competence and coherence. Neither of these things is correct.

A month ago, Sir Jim Ratcliffe lectured the Prime Minister, telling him he should run Britain in the same way he runs Manchester United

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

What is the BBC's justification for maintaining this level of coverage of Reform now it has slipped into third place?

Alex Andreou@sturdyalex.bsky.social

BBC News just interrupted its coverage to go, live, to Nigel Farage - a man with no contitutional standing in our setup - responding to the budget - a document which nobody has seen yet. WHY

This. In everything.

Impartiality does NOT mean giving equal weight to science/facts/reality on the one hand and right-wing populist culture war BS on the other. Every section referenced actually DID give pros and cons, and difficult choices. The MoS ignored that and pretended it was one-sided.

🧵 Wow - this article is bordering on unhinged! Apparently the BBC is akin to a “North Korean re-education camp” for teaching children about net-zero and covering both the pros AND cons of immigration Join me for a masterclass in cherry-picking and context stripping to brainwash your own readers👍🏻

Every time I look on the SNKRS app, it’s just garbage! 🗑️ No wonder Nike’s share price is in the toilet!!

Jim Ratcliffe has reacted to Man United's dismal form by sacking three bar staff, two security guards and an assistant in the ticket office. #MUNSOU

As an amused observer of Manchester United, I can't wait for Jim Ratcliffe's next sage piece of advice on how Britain should be run.

Taiwan, like Ukraine, is about to be abandoned.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "Look, if we had smart presidents, the Taiwan problem with China wouldn't exist. Nobody would care. They stole our chip business. All of it. 100 percent."

WHERE DID THAT DIESEL FROM RUSSIA GO? 40,000 tons of sub standard Russian Diesel was made a big deal of by Trump, as if it would somehow bring prices down. In reality it was mere hours of US consumption if it was ever even usable. The tanker, the Greek owned and Malta registered Agioi Fernandes,

Happy Northamptonshire Day. Marked on the feast day of Saints Crispin and Crispinian, the patron saints of shoemakers and leather workers. It's also linked to Shakespeare’s St Crispin’s Day speech of Henry V at Agincourt in 1415. The county has featured in 108 debate titles.

25 October 1415. Henry V’s English and Welsh longbow men defeated a numerically superior French Army at the Battle of Agincourt in northern France. It was a key English victory in the Hundred Years’ War and is known as “Saint Crispin’s Day”.

Yes, but your two big ideas so far have been police and crime commissioners and Brexit. Shall we check on them first?
