My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

The way President Lula totally ignores Marco Rubio, gives me a lot of joy. How about you?

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more

this is the funniest thing i've ever seen in my life

Sure, we should, if we can (many cannot). But as I keep pointing out, the government itself is making no provision at all. No stockpiles, no back-up, no alternative sources. It's individuating the response to a collective problem, and that never ends well. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Wes Streeting, Secretary of State for Palantir.

Statement from Virginia state Sen. L. Louise Lucas: “I will not be intimidated. I will not be bullied. And I will not back down.”

We need this in every town that’s being overrun by ICE. Hugs and slaps on the back to the man in the ball cap.

US garment workers helped pioneer multi-ethnic labor unions, which united people across racial, religious, gender, linguistic, and cultural divides. Also native-born citizens and immigrants. I think about that sometimes when I see people suggest such divides are unbridgeable.

Elon Musk boosted the lie that James Talarico stayed at a mental hospital. Meta suspended No Kings’ Instagram account during nationwide actions. Staff at the Ellison-owned CBS News were reportedly told to tie Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood and 9/11. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

May I ask you to read and reflect on this article. My family come from Aberfan and I would have been in the school under the slag on that day had we not moved to the English Midlands. The community still fights for justice and for us to remember. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

🇺🇦🙏 Soldier, who was evacuated by drone for the first time in history, spent 491 days in a row at the position, - Suspilne. ▪️Konstiantyn Vlasenko held a position in a concrete drainage pipe. After the death of his comrade, he was left alone.

Another failure in the Conservative government’s Covid response.

this is so perfect, so pure

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Oh well, no harm done, eh?

It’s not great if we’ve got prominent media figures going on TV to explain that support for a project of intensely racist repression and destruction of a subject population of non-people who have no rights, and can thus be treated with incredible cruelty, is simply non-negotiable.

New post from Putin.

While very little of what the new UK porn bans talk about are things I'm into, I'm still uncomfortable with the idea. Consenting adults playing with fantasy with other consenting adults - that's not an area I think the law should be wandering into.

Easiest trolley problem

Guys it’s 2026 can we please stop falling for his BS.

Except that is not what the report said at all, so it is no wonder that the public perception is massively off. The report, repeatedly states "On the basis of evidence available to us we cannot conclude that overdiagnosis is occurring at scale..." 1/ www.gov.uk/government/p...

From the Financial Times: "Prices of bonds issued to fund prominent data centres where Meta, Nvidia, Oracle and others will become tenants — such as “Hyperion” and “Project Excalibur” — have fallen well below par in recent weeks. Investors are also dumping debt issued... 1 of 2

Trust me: whatever you’re doing right now is less important than watching this candidate interview. No spoilers, just trust:

1/ Restoring Yandex's damaged data centres will take at least six months and cost billions. Disruption is already severe; Russian manufacturers and distributors face imminent disaster due to Ukraine's strikes causing the collapse of the state-operated goods tracking system. ⬇️
