Matty doesn't want you to be interested in anything beyond your borders, or realise that things that happen elsewhere can affect you.

Dan Mauler 🎃@meelar.bsky.social

I just think Matt's wrong about this. We're at a point in our technological development where a ton of problems spill over national borders--if Flavio Bolsonaro burns down the Amazon, that will flood houses in Miami.

JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

nytimes.comHow Trump Gave the Worst Polluters a Free Pass (Gift Article)The president temporarily waived clean-air rules for industrial facilities that spew cancer-causing gases. Then his appointees worked to gut the regulations altogether.

Bioengineering animals for the purpose of killing people is the sort of thing that needs to be globally banned right now.

"They can start cutting people's faces up. They can stab someone. They can shoot someone." EXCLUSIVE: Our hidden cameras capture the leader of Turning Point UK organising a fake rally for a foreign government and helping arrange a murder-for-hire with loyalist paramilitaries.

This is a good reminder that the previous record holder for most despicable campaign ad was the brainchild of everybody's new friend Rick Wilson, when he smeared a triple amputee war veteran as being "just like bin Laden"

Israel’s Foreign Ministry attacking Brad Lander - a self-described liberal Zionist - by name, simply for doing protective presence, should be the final sign that the Israeli government would gladly sacrifice every last Jew in Diaspora to dominate more Palestinians with impunity.

president trump, as your chief political advisor i advise you to keep saying stuff like this

I saw so many large accounts who should have known better sharing that.

We're aware of a phishing attack that has compromised more than 4,500 accounts. The attack spread through posts promoting a fake offer of a government payment. We have temporarily suspended the compromised accounts and are working with their owners to secure them and restore access.

British Army chief General Sir Roly Walker says UK political leaders will soon begin a "frank conversation" with the public about preparing for war. He warns that citizens must be ready to make sacrifices, prioritise defence and security, and play their part in supporting the military.

Trump has super secret knowledge that tells him Putin did not start the war. But he doesn't want to tell us right now.

Q: You want Zelenskyy out. Have you forgotten that President Putin started the war? TRUMP: Well, you know, I know the details, okay? And at some point I'll release the details. I want that war ended.

A greed that cannot be satiated.

Trump says Greenland "was owned by Denmark" but now "adds to our beautiful plate. Our plate is getting larger all the time. How about Venezuela?"

Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov confirms Elon Musk's Space X crippled Ukrainian capabilities last night. In other words, the US deliberately sabotaged European defence operations mid-mission. Every country in the world should move away from buying American hardware ASAP.

A mine that Trump and Hegseth assured the world did not exist. Nobody is going to try to make it through now.

IRGC Navy: “A container ship went down this morning in the southern waters of the Strait of Hormuz. It was carrying more than 2,500 containers when it struck a naval mine, exploded and caught severe fire. The sinking was blamed on the intensity of the blaze.”

Just a deeply sad and pathetic man.

Funny how both Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson echo Kremlin talking points about Russian Brexit meddling being a ‘lie’, exactly as they did a decade ago blaming the EU for Putin’s first invasion of Ukraine

GOP has agency, & doesn't need our votes. They use that agency to tell us all the bad things they're gonna do then they do it. Dems have agency, they do need our votes and use that agency to feed us a 30 year old turd sandwich they call the Status Quo & make empty promises bsky.app/profile/sirf...

Wynn's Law and Murc's law are both baby-brained bullshit for liberals who want to stigmatize people criticizing democrats for not fighting/doing enough. When i see someone invoke either, it's like "cool, not really taking any other opinion you have seriously. Thanks."

Elon Musk has given Republican campaigns $650 million – MORE THAN HALF A BILLION DOLLARS – in the last few years. He's not doing it to make Americans more free. He's doing it to make Americans his serfs.

Nigel Farage lashed out at a Sun reporter at his press conference this morning, following this editorial by Trevor Kavanagh, who is known to be very close to Rupert Murdoch. Comes after Murdoch jetted Badenoch and her Deputy out to the Med for a series of meetings bylinetimes.com/2026/09/25/r...

Trump thinks invading other countries, killing people, and stealing their resources is awesome. Especially when he does it, but it is cool when his friends do it too.

Wow — listen to these new comments from Trump. Thanking Putin, trashing Zelenskyy, characterizing Russia as eager for peace and Ukraine as intransigent. The mask is totally off.

Weird that Donald Trump's message is that people who are being assaulted can stop it all by giving up and submitting to the aggressor, so weird, so so weird

Ossoff: "I think Pete Hegseth is frankly a deeply unwell person who seems to relish this kind of brutality all the while he's running a department that is falling into chaos. The guy cannot run the military competently and is spending his time with this kind of obscene medieval spectacle."
