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!"

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/

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...

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.

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.
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."

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."
