‼️ Russia: “In the Irkutsk Region, the second- largest economy in the Siberian Federal District, layoffs in the public sector have begun amid a severe budget deficit.” Bears and plague and budget holes, oh my! ru.themoscowtimes.com/2026/10/27/v...

I can't really believe it but it seems to be the case that the Times has not covered a credible accusation of rape against the President of the United States, but has two solid stories on Obama's cheesecake factory quip.

691 words about Cheesecake. 434 words about rape.

Just listen to this. Then consider these polls: 76% of Jewish Israelis think there are no innocents in Gaza (Aug 2025) 82% support expelling Palestinians from Gaza (May 2025) 47% support killing all inhabitants of conquered enemy cities (May 2025)

An excerpt from Casey Michel's new book focuses on how Jared Kushner landed $2.2 billion from the Saudi sovereign wealth fund after all professional advisors concluded his request was unqualified, thus launching Kushner's role as an agent for the Saudi government.

As in Hungary, the authoritarian regime in Serbia is being dismantled . “For years, we failed to fulfill our duty. We kept silent, turned a blind eye, reported events one-sidedly, and failed to ask the necessary questions. For that, we owe our viewers an apology,” news anchor Goran Eror said.

This article does not discuss one major reason why chocolate in the West got worse - Ghana and Ivory Coast, the two African countries that are the biggest suppliers of cacao globally, got organised and started demanding fair prices for it. www.reuters.com/world/africa...

Monstrous beyond all reckoning. The US is using remote sensing *designed for humanitarian purposes* for the opposite purpose, potentially drowning civilians en masse. Trump hates Somalis. His troops appear to be exploiting the weather to help slaughter them. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

This is the biggest corruption scandal in American history. The Trump crime family is trying to sell the future natural gas rights of Alaska to the Russians in exchange for $25 billion in cash for themselves today.

pretty clear evidence that republicans in the US losing any election going forward are going to always beg for a coup if they lose. lots of people will have to go to jail

This is horrific. And unsurprisingly the work of a "conservative" multimillionaire. Other adjectives might include creepy, prurient, dictatorial and abusive, not to mention, of course, transphobic. Once more with feeling: we need to get the money out of politics. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

If you’re thinking of buying an Audi, don’t forget that an Audi executive appeared at a Trump rally this weekend to try to boost an American dictatorship. Make your car-buying decision accordingly.

A prominent Tory party member organising contract killings should be being given wall to wall news coverage. But not with the UK’s corrupt billionaire controlled media. The BBC hasn't even mentioned it on their site.

The new Chair of OfCom has rather oddly suggested I should set up a left wing version of GB News. This suggests he doesn’t quite know what his job is. But I have taken him at his word. app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/75420/...

Currently wondering what message the UK govt thought it was sending by dressing up the Minister for Net Zero in a literal Shell logo.

“The billionaires… the billionaires…”

The state of Illinois has $125M in contracts with Deloitte Consulting LLP. Deloitte is backing a candidate in Ohio who is siding with a pedophile and his defender, punishing a woman for speaking out about sexual abuse. In Illinois, we’re paying them $16M to advise DCFS. cc: @politico.com

Fresh AfD data leak needs more time to get fully analyzed but first glimpse shows all the classics. Party supporters use racist slurs and share antisemitic theories of Jewish world domination; there are jokes about turning refugees into handbags and boots... www.heistberlin.com/news/afd-lea...

“The culmination of my life’s work may have been targeted by an AI-assisted censorship tool & terminated by a politically-motivated AI hallucination” If you care in any way about science, you need to read this thread from my friend Kelton Minor.

The public needs to tell Troon Golf and Tom Fazio that they’re making a grave mistake involving themselves in this.

Taking out the non native Sitka, Douglas Fir etc allows our native trees oak, birch, hazel, Scots pine to have more light and nutrients..

How has @cbsnews.com correspondent Jan Crawford not been fired after this? Even at the new Conservative BS News? They are still in the pretend-to-be-legit stage, yet she's already removed her mask

No ISBNs in Canada for AI writing. This is a fantastic policy, and every country should do the same. www.canada.ca/en/library-a...

Hope this provokes the biggest example of the Streisand Effect in the entire history of Streisand Effects. To Hell with both Musk and TikTok.

Ex-BBC Director-General, last year. The key words are, 'Win over' & 'adapted'. No news service has to 'win over' viewers. They must report accurate & unbias news. The most sinister word is 'adapted'. Twisting news & introducing bias to support their plan. It's a scandal that they even consider it.

Oh FFS. There really is no bottom for Trump and his ghoulish menagerie of freaks.
