The owner of X posted a bunch of Kremlin propaganda and then turned off Starshield in Ukraine to help Putin murder thousands of Ukrainian civilians. Here's why Bluesky has an intellectual diversity problem.

Any violence against the Somali community has now been state sanctioned. Trump must be impeached immediately or there is no such thing as consequences for this racist tyrant.

Trump tries to start a race war: "The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants ... The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back!"

🔴 We asked Tony Blair's think tank about charging businesses £500k for political access at party conferences and why one of its sponsor's logos disappeared after our reporting last week on TBI's alleged cash for access scheme This is what they said

Yes again, @carolecadwalla.bsky.social way ahead of everyone else. Today the DG, Matt Brittin, announced he would be happy for the BBC to make programmes and have them presented entirely by AI "within guardrails". See link below bsky.app/profile/caro...

NEW: Will Google's AI hype man kill the BBC? I've written about Matt Brittin because the coverage of his time at Google is shockingly naive. The BBC's next DG is a corporate yes man at a rapacious AI monopoly that preys on journalism in order to destroy it. 1/ www.thenerve.news/p/matt-britt...

A Thiel-Altman-&-Andreessen backed “network state” called Praxis is planning a tech colony in Uruguay & has a nonbinding deal w/ a development led by a former advisor to Javier Milei. Located a short ferry ride from Argentina, the move aligns w/ the “Tech Bros”’ increasing interest in the region. 1/

I don't think we disdain the center-right enough. First, they rode nativist populist tigers to power to get their tax cuts and deregulation; Then, they lost control of their own parties to those tigers; Now, they sit in lucrative jobs as columnists writing about how it's all the left's fault.

Just to recap: Calling Nigel Farage “an unflushable poo” = dehumanising hate speech. Calling for hotels housing asylum seekers to be set on fire = guest of honour at party conference. Bless those non-racist free speech warriors.

The famous "Wedges" paper was used repeatedly to shut us up when we argued against the continued use of fossil fuels, and, esp, against carbon capture and storage and the mass use of bioenergy. "But these eminent scientists say ..." Now we learn BP co-authored it. www.propublica.org/article/wedg...

propublica.orgHow BP Execs Influenced a Climate Study That Shaped a Generation of Global PolicyBP sponsored an elite Princeton research center to address the climate problem without getting off fossil fuels. Its key work, a paper known as “Wedges,” guided climate discourse for a generation.

I visited Meta's metaverse on the day it was supposed to shut down. I ended up in a virtual reality off-brand McDonald's car park – "a horribly designed, ultra-capitalistic space—a car park with no cars, for a restaurant that can sell no food, an earthly purgatory we have built for ourselves".

Hard not to regard this as a classic example of a pre-emptive campaign by certain sectors, along with their media sympathisers, to discourage a new prime minister from appointing someone who might damage their interests in the long and short term. And it will almost certainly work.

Former DUP leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson is a paedophile, a jury has unanimously found: Guilty on all 18 counts, including rape of a primary school girl. Judge says jail is "inevitable" and ex-MP immediately remanded into custody. Full breaking coverage:

A shirtless white man, in the street with a knife in his hand, having attacked and wounded five people, allegedly shouting anti-Muslim slogans is the sixth story on the BBC UK news page. There is absolutely no doubt at all this would be the lead story if attacker and intended victims were reversed.

When the world's first trillionaire is an actual ideological neo-Nazi who is personally responsible for 750,000 unnecessary deaths, it's hard to blame young people for concluding that capitalism simply does not work.

Pop Base@popbase.tv

Elon Musk has become the world’s first trillionaire as SpaceX becomes a publicly traded company. Shares opened at $150, setting valuation at $1.96 trillion.

It's quite amazing to be this ignorant and someone points a camera at you to talk to the nation. This should be illegal.

Kilmeade to an agreeing Markwayne Mullin: "In Belfast they're standing up because their leaders have let them down. They're trying to take their country back. They want to label them as racist. All they want to be is Irish. They want Ireland back. I see a lot of the same fights here."

Pollard, yet another guy who isn’t just a roaring, gargling, vexatious wingnut crank *now*: he was one twenty years ago and everyone knew he was, but that didn’t stop anyone picking up bullshitty stories from his paper and running with them when that was convenient.

The racism we're seeing across the right today is vile and dangerous but it's also a sign of desperation. Three parties all fighting over the votes of aging authoritarians.

This is counter-productive, authoritarian and chilling. The British state should not be in the business of banning commentators and journalists from entering the country, without compelling reason. Finding their views objectionable is nowhere near enough. www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

"Blair used 5,700 words to tell the ultra-rich donors upon whom both his think tank and his gilded social life rely exactly what they want to hear…much of it grossly unpopular with the British public, but none of it even slightly challenging to Blair’s own constituency."

Thanks Mr Blair but a baselessly confident 6,000 word diatribe telling the UK to move right on every issue while embracing Trump and Silicon Valley wasn't even that cute all those times Dominic Cummings wrote it.
