"Last week, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio acknowledged that a batch of interceptors may not have been delivered, but said that the delay was not for political reasons." [itchy beard]

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

From Zelenskyy. Patriot interceptors that could save innocent lives are sitting in European countries for weeks, which they paid for, unable to be transferred to Ukraine because Hegseth refuses to sign off.

BBC iPlayer on my laptop started appearing in Scots Gaelic about a year ago and I have no idea how to get it back into English 😶‍🌫️ #help

Nothing says "fighting Nazism" like launching an expansionist war to unite "one people" on the basis of "genetics."

Lovely lovely lovely. Just like this time last season, results are starting to reflect our performances and the table is slowly starting to show that. #coys

Andromeda is only visible to the unaided eye as a small, faint patch. Digitally tracked and stacked frames were combined with a foreground shot in the astro-image composite to reveal its greater extent in planet Earth's night. In the springtime night skyscape it spans nearly 6 full moons. #space

Trump and Musk are just stringing Ukraine along and letting Russia attack it with impunity. And the American press is foolishly falling for blue smoke and mirrors, arguing whether Musk or Trump are responsible. Hint, they both are!

Your average "orange man bad" poster has had better instincts for US politics than the majority of paid pundits and opinion columnists. I don't mean journalists with expertise, but I do include everyone up to and including the likes of BBC's Justin "Trump Is Making America Normal Again" Webb in this

Not beating the racism allegations

Sunder Katwala (sundersays)@sundersays.bsky.social

Reform UK Oxford will host a talk in November criticising "DEI" by the Nathan Cofnas, who describes his belief in + commitment to biological racism as "race realism", writing "in a meritocracy, blacks would disappear from almost all high-profile positions outside of sports and entertainment”.

Flashback to just 15 months ago... Andy Burnham endorsing the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty www.carbonbrief.org/28-quotes-fr...

Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative@fossiltreaty.bsky.social

“The Fossil Fuel Treaty is not just a plan—it’s a lifeline,” said Mayor @mayorofgm.bsky.social Burnham, joining Massive Attack to endorse the call just before a sold-out show in Manchester on #WorldEnvironmentDay2025. This is the moment music, activism, and leadership united for climate justice.

The thing is, I have zero desire to spend FOUR HOURS watching a documentary about a man I already despise. But the more they try to censor it the more tempted I am to watch it. 🤷‍♂️ The four minute song is great though, so I'll give that a repost! #musk #alexgibney @danielpemberton.bsky.social

NellMinow@nellminow.bsky.social

Daniel Pemberton and David Byrne wrote a song about Elon Musk for Alex Gibney's documentary. TikTok took it down and canceled the entire account for the film. So Pemberton encouraged those of us lucky enough to see him perform today to share it. youtu.be/WAvdN-JSUFU?...

Government support for drilling at #Jackdaw takes a wrecking ball to any pretence of UK climate leadership & pours fuel on an overheating world - and for what? It’s equivalent to just 2 months of UK gas demand, creates just 27 direct jobs & has *no* impact on energy bills🧵1/4

How fucking dare he

Kate from Kharkiv@kateinkharkiv.bsky.social

Rubio: “The president does not like to see this image of a ballistic missile hitting an apartment building in Kyiv and innocent civilians being wiped out as a result.” If Trump dislikes Russian ballistic attacks so much, then why withhold intelligence about Russian launches,

As it's Black History Month it has reminded me of this absolute gem from 2020, which I maintain is the funniest thing that's ever happened on BT Sport and quite possibly on any British Television Channel ever. Brass Eye worthy.

So...far-right gains expected, but the right aren't expected to reach the threshold for a majority. The right will be smaller but also more extreme, may end up governing as opposition is apparently uncoalitionable 🥴 www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

Excellent piece of writing... "We have to get something into our heads. Trump wants Putin to win. If we can’t understand that now we never will."

We're urging the Foreign Secretary to intervene in the case of Najmeh Amini, an Iranian woman sentenced to death for 'blasphemy'. No one should face imprisonment, let alone execution, for exercising their right to freedom of expression. Read the full story 👇 www.secularism.org.uk/news/2026/10...

Zelenskyy: It's a pity that we are losing a strong partner (..) but not because of us. We can’t be weak. Otherwise, we can’t survive… This is why it’s painful when Trump chooses to be on Russia’s side. This is not the right side of history.

RobJFH reposted

Pretty clear that Trump/Hegseth are doing everything they can to force Ukraine to surrender to Putin by withholding all US assistance while actively helping fund the Russian war machine to kill as many civilians as possible including kids. What a dark, evil chapter in US history.
