Can we please make him pay for lying? It's the only way this nonsense stops.

Solar is booming.

Well well well WSJ finally skewers Elon over his despicable pro-Russian position. “Mr. Musk can spare us his moral indignation, since throttling Ukraine is abetting the bloodletting.” Gift link www.wsj.com/opinion/elon...

Republican Rep. Dan Meuser: That's why we stopped Iran... Rachel Wallace: Have we stopped Iran? Are we safer today than we were eight months ago? No. We're paying more for gas and home heating oil. Meuser: Pardon me, Bob, but it has not gone as planned, but the- the-- Moderator: Thank you.

Solar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth. Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

I couldn't include as much detail about the research behind Microsoft's GPU accelerated database queries as I would have liked to, so I've linked all the papers here and I'm going to take a moment to celebrate the layers of the wonderful CoddSpeed pun

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.

Reform plan to bring back imperial measurements to help boost US trade, not realising that US imperial measurements are different from UK ones. So dense a black hole is empty space by comparison.

Reform and Tories have pledged to reverse ULEZ repeatedly.

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

This went on for the rest of the full hour, at which point the BBC apologised for having to go to the weather and urged viewers to follow continuing live coverage on iPlayer. Forty-one minutes of unfiltered, unchallenged propaganda by a far right party with 8 MPs, now third in the polls. Discuss.

💯The case for democracy is not that voters are always right, or wise, or good. It's that they can correct their mistakes. That's why it's so dangerous to have billionaires controlling the media or regulating the flow of information. It shuts down the immune system of democracy.

Exactly right. It's why the idea of "UK PLC" was so grotesque - as if a nation was just a limited company, that could be wound up, taken over, merged or dissolved, with no roots in the past and no responsibility to the future.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) denied approval for a high-volume measles test that would help health departments respond quicker and more effectively to the current measles outbreak. The West Coast Health Alliance (Hawaii, Californina, Oregon and... TAT: [Attacking science]

Trump's $5K checks have become a punchline because few think he will deliver. But he has given 1 million people a $500 check (mostly in swing states), and abt 20 million a $90 check (w propaganda letters). No-one applied. The process was automated, using administrative data to target payments.

People walking, cycling and driving can safely share the same space. The key is street design that slows cars down and encourages everyone to use the space. And one crucial ingredient: no on-street parking! Streets are for people, not car storage.

Brilliant! 🔥🔥🔥 This is what the fossil fuel industry WANTS you to believe! #ClimateEmergency [SOUND ON 🔊]

By-election billed as ‘neck-and-neck’ ends in thumping defeat for Reform www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/ref...

"[Our research] found: - Every additional 100kg of vehicle weight was associated with a 6% increase in odds of pedestrian fatality; - Every additional 10cm of height was associated with an 11% increase in odds of pedestrian fatality. " theconversation.com/big-us-style...

Our plan, I gather, is for a “distinctively British” approach to AI which will have none of the risks but all of the benefits. No other nation would have thought of just having the upsides. Makes you proud. 🇬🇧

I work in horticulture and in the EU at least- Organic growing has gone from being ridiculed as hippy nonsense to having a target of 25%of all farm land. But perhaps more importantly, some organic methods are now mainstream, like improving Soil Organic Matter, IPM, green matures, etc. Very positive.

If I were emperor of the universe any candidate promising to balance the budget or fund expensive programs by "cutting inefficiency, waste and fraud in government" would be immediately slimed like a Nickelodean host.

JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

Britt McHenry. The TMZ video of her throwing a beverage over a fan at a NBA game (before been ejected) shows the level of entitlement Pedolf's staffers think they are owed. She'd only joined the State Department as a "press adviser" in Sept. this year. Yet another Ivanka doppelganger bites the dust

Hey everyone, gather around! Elon Musk, the trillionaire defense contractor currently spending >$400m on political campaigns to prop up the party of a deeply unpopular president who launched the Iran War has some thoughts about Ukraine, elites, and money in politics.

immigration drives economic growth.

Sure, we should, if we can (many cannot). But as I keep pointing out, the government itself is making no provision at all. No stockpiles, no back-up, no alternative sources. It's individuating the response to a collective problem, and that never ends well. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Two years later, DOJ still fighting over whether Trump's blanket pardon for Jan. 6 defendants inadvertently swept in other egregious crimes committed by Jan. 6 defendants. Kelley was convicted by a jury of conspiring to murder his investigators. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

you're just going about your day and you now get to read stuff like "Trump says Sundar Pichai talked him out of renaming the Atlantic Ocean" and you just have to nod and move on with your day. “Oceans are different, sir.” lmao www.theverge.com/policy/10167...

BREAKING: major development in our case on ICE at the polls The judge granted our request for expedited discovery & we’ll now seek answers about threats & their impact on voters DDF, NAACP, Mfenaccion, OCANational, NatUrbanLeague, MN8, SEIU, AFT, UFCW IUPAT & others! - TN

Good grief this is a bad one. Take a look at this notice from ICO. Note - the ransomware attack took place on 1 November 2024 and encrypted 182.7GB of data, with 42GB of data being taken from Data Cymru’s systems. Still - no fine. Just a 'reprimand'.

I really don’t know what else to call this other than a psychopathic circle jerk.

TRUMP: We gave nothing in exchange for Stephen. We never give anything in exchange for hostages. TRUMP LITERALLY MOMENTS LATER: If I implemented sanctions on Russia, Steven wouldn't be coming out right now.

genuinely i think this is about half of what's going on in my town. the seniors are alone in their houses getting radicalized by AI slop

Donald Trump’s claims that he had no knowledge of efforts to limit access to systems vital for Ukraine’s frontline defense have been blown apart by his own officials.

This video of Donald Trump stopping to chat, wave and salute non-existent people is a reminder that you’re never too old to have imaginary friends.

Net migration was 171,000 for 2025 but visas were falling sharply & have kept doing so. Expect it to fall below 75,000 for July 2025 - June 2026 in November data, then zero for 2026 (announced May 2027) James has had vg modeling and predictions: his prediction is 50k bsky.app/profile/jame...

Stephen Miller claims Somali-Americans in Minnesota are "buying Mercedes, buying BMWs, they buy a nice house, all their kids fly first class all over the world" (This is a lie!)

Absolutely, an open goal. I'm a debt adviser and the latest stats are 43% of ccjs in Eng and Wales last year were for under £500. Parking CCJs are typically £270-£330. There's an epidemic of credit ratings ruined by parking mistakes and the public hate the companies.

In troubled times Trump’s attempt to sue the BBC ... which is backfiring on him quite spectacularly... brings both hope and amusement newrepublic.com/post/216805/...

Pretty poor that this is the headline on a moderately encouraging set of labour market figures (employment rate up, payroll jobs slightly up, wage growth OK). www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
