The reason that *we* are feeling (and getting) poorer and poorer, is because we are letting a tiny number of the super rich become even richer and richer. Elon Musk is the ultimate fruit of the rising inequality tree. And the people worst affected by people like him are celebrating him.

He expects these organisations to back down and pay him off, if they stand up to him he's got a case that's as solid as biscuits (not shortbread).

Trump: “I wanna wrap up the speech. You just heard best individual poverty numbers. In other words, the poverty, higher than they've ever been before by a lot.”

I still don't understand how the USA, who is the western world's biggest expert in killing it's own citizens, managed to fail to execute a death row inmate. What next? Maybe they'll get ICE agents to do prisoner executions, filmed from their own phones?

Weetman skull-measuring incident has reminded me of people who used to "be a thing" on twitter. It's inspired me to do an occasional thread. Feel free to chip in with suggestions/lore/questions.

“Zelenskyy could’ve stopped this war many times, and he chose not to … he better damn well stop” — Trump is no longer trying to conceal that he’s fully on Putin’s side

How long until they cave and put money in his pocket? Or at least hold a black tie dinner in his honor?

BREAKING NYT: The Trump Justice Department is investigating whether the major television networks — ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC and Fox — violated federal antitrust laws when the group briefly suspended their pooled coverage of Trump, according to six people with knowledge of the department's action.

Fact Check: Trump has not, in fact, ended any wars but he has started wars.

This had me wondering about the context... Here is how the BBC broke the news during it've live coverage: "Labour hold Holborn and St Pancras seat in by-election win"

Annual invoice for ground rent on a leasehold house arrived in the post, demand being for 75p. The cost of the postage was higher, never mind the 3 sheets of A4, the envelope, the printer ink and the time... Will I let them e-mail me the bill? No, because I detest ground rent corporates.

Thoughts and prayers for Donald Trump right now, who thought he was in with a shout despite all his fascism and warmongering and announcements of live streaming a firing squad execution...

"We found your Uncle's medal, we put it in a frame, and here it is".

this shit is beyond parody, man. It truly is the make a wish presidency. now Trump is getting an award!

The good news from Holborn & St Pancras is that ReFuk barely held onto their deposit.

Most people don't know what "Zionism" is. (Or antisemitism, for that matter).

Our town centres and high streets are being destroyed and becoming ghostowns, typed the keyboard warrior, while they waited for their Amazon parcels to arrive.....

Two panels at the #Disinfo2026 conference seem to have particularly upset the MAGA people. It would be a shame if people weren’t aware of them.

UPDATE: Trump just awarded another $3 BILLION military contract to a company backed by his son Don Jr. (and Peter Thiel) — what skilled businessmen these Trumps are! Robbing the American taxpayer in broad daylight.

One thing I find endlessly funny about the rise of AI is that it has revealed that there is a large number of people who believe that the reason they wrote essays at school or university is their teachers were desperately waiting for them to provide a definite answer to “Lear: what’s up with him?”

Dr Dean Burnett@drdeanburnett.bsky.social

"By using AI, tasks like essays that used to take hours can be completed in minutes!" Sure, like how if I arrive at the gym and immediately go for a shower, my workout is done in record time. And if I throw my sandwiches straight in the bin, I can finish my lunch in under 10 seconds.

This tells you everything about how Trump sees this country. The destruction, the fear and the innocent people who would pay the actual price are just collateral damage to him.

'There's no evidence of this' has really made me laugh.

Gabe Poirot says he spent 18 days in Heaven and met a Jesus who was six feet tall, made of fire, and overflowing with testosterone. Fox treated this as news. There's no evidence of this. Just a deeply manipulative story and a book to promote. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/a-christia...
