Mr Fabio C 🇺🇦 🇬🇱

So among Putin and Trump-backed candidates in Central and Eastern Europe we now have Orban as well as Vucic driven out of power by the kind of popular mobilisation that Putin and Trump do not seem psychologically equipped to understand

Trump says “we own Greenland” for eternity

Trump is straight up saying during speeches that he wants white people coming to the country but not black. I don’t know what else people need to see.

Fascinating Jeremy, now tell us about the time you cut national insurance twice as an electoral game despite knowing we couldn't afford it.

I *really* would *not* bet money against this

Some more rainbow magic. Photo taken yesterday in St Michael's tower on Glastonbury Tor. The little blobs are raindrops, it wasn't easy keeping the rain off my lens 😂Despite a coat I was absolutely drenched as the rain and wind were a bit intense.

Farage declares: There’s no room for racists in the Reform party… Because it’s nearly full

Elon Musk's radicalisation machine is the main reason why civil war talk is a thing in Britain. Without it, Lowe would be a nonentity: there's no organic demand for Restore's fascism; It's been manufactured, and now "what needs to happen will be incredibly painful" is in the high single digits.

💯 this.

God's speed, yet little Ukrainian strike drones

Update to my Saturns. This goes: 2015, 2016, then annually from 2020 onwards.

The best time for @andyburnham.bsky.social to give a televised address condemning Blackshirts on the streets of Britain was two weeks ago. The second best time would be now.

If Putin accepts, every European leader (at least) should boycott the event. The G20 no longer serves the useful purpose it had during the global financial crisis, when it was founded, so nothing that matters will be lost by not being there.

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

Canada is building a deeper alliance with the EU so that we may write our own futures — with our values, and our ambitions.

a great letter in the times today. perhaps worth sharing in these troubled times. #RNLI #heroes

What I love about Western democracy is you can bung a political party £ 36 million earned from criminal activity & most media will continue to point at asylum seekers & migrant care workers with families as the barbarians at the gate we need to defend ourselves from 🙄.

A suggested statement for Andy Burnham.

It’s not that difficult. It really isn’t.

Opposing fascism, supporting the RNLI, upholding the rule of law. Not difficult.

I want the Prime Minister to look into a TV camera and say the RNLI are heroes, that we do not change policy by street violence in this country, and that he expects any criminal action to face the full force of the law. That's it. That's all he has to do.

There's an argument for calling them masked thugs, because that is factually true. There's an argument for calling them pathetic cosplaying loser incels, also true, and laughing at them damages their tough-guy self image and hurts recruitment. There is no argument for calling them protesters.

It wasn't a "hybrid attack", fuckwits.

Amazing. It seems that plagiarism is only a problem for The Times when black people do it

Ukrainian drones hit one of Russia’s largest oil refineries, in Kirishi, Leningrad Oblast, overnight. #explodey

This 💯

We’re back from Spain and I’ve finally had a chance to look through my photos of the total solar #eclipse. We were able to watch the eclipse perfectly from south-east of León – at the edge of a sunflower field. What an experience! #Sonnenfinsternis #astrophotography 🔭

Wonder how many people just found out their partner has a secret phone 👀

What a celestial event! The fact it was near the horizon made it look even bigger! And got the reflection of the corona over Sil river. A pity it lasted barely over a minute. #solareclipse2026 #eclipse

Couldn't make it to Spain for the eclipse, but went flying with a group of friends to pull off this unique shot. #avgeek #eclipse

I know I'm off, but I have to share the moment when everything seemed to stop.. 📷🔭🌑 NikonD750 + Sigma 150-600 Field photo, Canon Eos D80 with Tokina 22mm #photography #astrophotography #eclipse

Very happy with this result. Combination of #eclipse images (time lapse) with 35 mm lens, one image per 5 minutes, from #Leiden, the Netherlands. Old Leiden Observatory bottom right.

Eclipse Totality hits Spain! #SolarEclipse

Great success from Spain! Crazy. Bring on 2nd August 2027!

It was incredible - not just a rare event on Earth but a rare event in the universe!! And look at that prominence!!

If you enjoyed this eclipse, you should pop the date of the next one in your colander.

It is estimated around 28,000 people have died crossing the Mediterranean in the last 10 years, more than 1,000 so far this year. It is hardly reported any more here in Italy.

The whole point of the original policy (which was and is terrible) was to target exactly this group. And now they’re going to introduce the policy and exempt them? Just abandon the policy! The whole thing is just a terrible idea.

Last night's sky

Fuck.

I’m getting a bad feeling about Mahmood…

ALERT! ALERT! ALERT! Please tell your friends, your family and everyone you know to follow this account. I'm doing something amazing, incredible and epic for you. Remember when I did the ISS alerts? They are returning, but a thousand times better and more! Something all of you will love.

Mate you were one of the reasons I stopped listening

There is a proposal to nominate the island of Lampedusa for the Nobel Peace Prize. Over the years this tiny 20km² island of 6,000 inhabitants has hosted hundreds of thousands of migrants crossing the Mediterranean. It is impossible to find an accurate total number but it is way in excess of 500k.
