For the first time, the British government has acknowledged that Russia interfered in the 2016 Brexit referendum. So who did BBC Newsnight invite on to discuss what happened? Sergei Markov, Putin’s former spokesman. Par for the course, says Nerve co-founder @carolecadwalla.bsky.social 1/

Nathan Gill - Reform's leader in Wales - is serving a ten-year prison sentence for accepting Russian bribes. And still Farage insists that that Russia doesn't attempt to influence British politics.

Things got better in the early 20thC because our rulers were piss scared of the Soviet Union. Not scared that the USSR would take over, scared that workers in the West would copy it. So they bribed us, and things got better... until the threat disappeared. Now they are free to rob us blind again.

Remember when some daft kid threw soup over a painting that was behind glass and Britain went fucking demented for a month? Now you can stab rescue dingies, get kids to chant drown them all and persecute the RNLI and it's fucking 'legitimate concerns' all day long from the government and the BBC

Stop calling it a climate problem. Call it what it is: organized greed. The planet isn’t dying. It’s being killed for profit. The killers have names. And boardrooms. #ClimateJustice #StopEcocide

There needs to be a list of all the celebrities that have taken money to advertise for the betting markets clearly selling out their fans and community. They should be shunned. They are worse than the celebrities that were selling crypto. They don’t care about you. So stop caring about them.

In Victorian London this little bottle contained laudanum (10% opium). It cost a penny, the same price as a pint of beer. Beer was considered to be for men, laudanum was more popular among women. Getting stoned at home is nothing new but it used to be legal. #history is interesting.

With the word ‘Killswitch’ buzzing around the news, it’s a good time to remind you all the information you need is in a book I wrote a few years ago. #booksky #news

The internet now is pay-to-view or let us harvest everything about you to feed ai. No more looking things up with ease, for free. The psycho tech bros have officially ruined the web. Look out for books to make a major comeback in a teal store soon #booksky

Dolly Parton didn’t spend her dollars on space travel or a trip to the titanic because she was writing checks to put over 330 million books in the hands of children. Dolly Parton's Imagination Library has confirmed it will continue to send out millions of books to children after her passing. R.I.P

Dolly Parton represented the best of us. She lived a life full of empathy for others. She never lost touch with her roots and always showed a deep thoughtfulness for the wellbeing of others, especially through her dedication to inspiring a love of reading through her Imagination Library for kids. 😔💔
