If I were RFK I don’t think I would give talks lamenting how a culture that once led the world in science became less productive after takeover by ideological extremists

You can't expect the New York Times to give any attention to a story about the president being credibly accused of violent rape when the story breaks so close to an election. It's not like we're talking about something *really* important, like email security protocols.

Would love to talk with editors from 1998 and ask them: If Congress dropped a 50-page report detailing, with witnesses on the record, that President Clinton raped women, would you put it on the front page?

This is just the maddest argument. These people would trap us in poverty to keep a decade old commitment, which no one ever actually made, to an electorate which no longer exists.

The biggest irony is that the oft-stated reason for the right to bear arms in the US is so people can stop an autocrat ever taking control of the country Well done, guys, for stopping that Another lie exposed We all know the real reason for the proliferation of guns is profit for the gun industry

Didn't Gary Lineker have to leave the BBC for this sort of thing?

"I’m not expecting every rapper to be an activist. You don’t have to read James Baldwin to be a good musician. But to go from poignantly telling your own immigration story to full-throatedly supporting MAGA is something else entirely."

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

From Zelenskyy. Patriot interceptors that could save innocent lives are sitting in European countries for weeks, which they paid for, unable to be transferred to Ukraine because Hegseth refuses to sign off.

"Both top-shelf reporting and top officials in the Trump administration, including Trump himself, have said that Musk made this decision on his own. That would be treason. The traditional way to figure out the truth of such a matter is with a trial." prospect.org/2026/10/26/d...

Not what they're looking for but I got told off for 'preponderance' last week. Apparently it went extinct after I left college.

There is a through line from Bluebottle saying each week "You rotten swine you, you deaded me!", to Stan/Kyle's "Oh my god, they killed Kenny!". Discuss.

This was like his 3rd glitch during the speech where he just randomly stops mid-sentence and makes a weird noise or, in this case, just opens his mouth and freezes for 3 seconds while saying nothing, then continues. Pretty sad that TV networks refuse to cover this situation.

For United Nations Day, we’ve gone back over 80 years of humanist magazines and newsletters, now held in the New Humanist archive, to find out how humanists helped build the UN, how they pushed it to do better, and how Humanists UK carries that work on today. humanists.uk/2026/10/24/w...

You have to laugh at the sheer insanity of Turning Point UK being found to be organising literal contract killings and paid agitation at protests up and down the country and it barely even raises a flicker across the press. If that isn't 'terrorism' on some level I don't really know what is

If you paid any federal income tax last year, then you paid more than these profitable corporations. When I say the system is broken, this is what I mean.

Me: "Even if it was unpopular, are you saying the Democratic Party should not speak out against the president sending migrants who have committed no crimes to be tortured in a foreign gulag?" @mattyglesias.bsky.social: "Yeah." Me: "Just stay silent?" Yglesias: "...You gotta win first."

Still ageing like milk

The immigration doom loop, summed up here by @gabyhinsliff.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.

holy crap

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.

My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

This is damning. So much could could have been done at the time, with what was known about COVID, and with what what resources we had. It’s hard not to read callous neglect into these findings. And that intentional neglect was layered with lies - like the “protective ring” - which did not exist.

"A world in which the White House is allied to the Kremlin was, until now, the stuff of paranoid fiction. Manchurian candidates and red presidents were fantasies, dark tales Americans told themselves like ghost stories... "But this alliance now exists." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

"I Believed American Healthcare Was the Best in the World. Then I Did the Math" Yale epidemiologist @Alison_Galvani anticipated a hefty price tag for Medicare for All. But she found that we are already paying more than enough right now to cover the cost of universal healthcare.

We thank President Trump for his glorious injections of Lysol, new uses of Ivermectine, Natural Immunity to measles. Probably he should get Nobel Price or at least the FIFA science prize.

No one needs to listen to James Carville about anything. But I'll keep saying this until I'm blue in the face: It's not the lefties who hold Democrats hostage in Congress, IT'S THE MODERATES. Bernie Sanders never killed a Democratic bill he didn't like. You know who did? Joe Manchin. Many times.

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

These arguments always boil down to the same thing (yes I read it) "if you use your freedom in ways we don't like, we should take it away from you." Which is not, you know, freedom bsky.app/profile/pgou...

The president then added: "I want cheeseburger elbow and Greenland looks at trade highway congestion pizza party"

Remember that Elon Musk bought Twitter on the basis of bullshit claims that its algorithm was not promoting conservative accounts fairly, and now we're seeing the tech right clamp down on liberals and the left across the board

The hill I will die on: Cinemas have been getting away with lies. Films should begin on time | Jeffrey Ingold

Producer: “Who can we get to represent the views of voters in struggling working class towns?” Researcher: “How about a London born privately educated banjo player who is the son of the billionaire who owns GB News?” Producer: “Perfect!”

Putin’s Puppet is at it again…👇 Are you actually SURPRISED?! Well, of course you’re not, because he is a Russian tool… And, nothing more. IMPEACH. THE. MOTHERFUCKER. AGAIN. 😎🇺🇸✨

The decline of Newsnight, at a time when we need detailed and decent investigative and foreign reporting more than ever, is so depressing. Marshall is more than an ex singer. He’s Paul Marshall’s son - of GB News, Unherd, Speccie - & is on ARC Forum advisory board

It's almost as if it's not a good idea to rely on pieces of defence and communications infrastructure that are in the hands of one of the most morally depraved and emotionally unstable wretches ever to walk the earth

Oh, Donald . . . That's not a gym. It's a gay bathhouse. And you have *never* looked like that.

What’s astounding to me is how “the president builds himself a palace with money given directly to him in secret by the richest people in America,” literally the most straightforward and worst executive-branch corruption story in US history, just gets shrugged at because Trump is unapologetic

Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Tesla paid just 4.9% of their profits in federal corporate taxes in 2025. They've seen their collective tax bill drop by $95B thanks to two rounds of Trump tax cuts. Meanwhile, tech layoffs in 2026 have already surpassed 2025. Trickle-down economics was always a scam.

1. Trump's brain is paranoid mush 2. Trump's paranoid mush-brain is looking for scapegoats to blame when it comes to the impending collapse of his position in US politics after the mid-terms 3. Trump's desperate search for scapegoats will focus on Ukraine, Canada and Europe
