They're not watching you. They're actively studying you 👀 Meet our little Hyllus diardi. They have four pairs of eyes, a poppy-seed brain, and more curiosity than most creatures ten times their size! How cool is that? 😲 #jumpingspider #nature #wildlife

Laura Kuenssberg asks if it bothers Labour's Bridget Phillipson that people who create jobs and pay a lot of tax, citing, Jim Ratcliffe, move abroad - except, that's not the full story. My View: Did you know companies owned by Jim Ratcliffe have received public support worth around £630 million?

What a hateful rag my mum’s newspaper is. No interest in *why* so many teenagers have anxiety, just an accusation that they are somehow already in the wrong, after all they’ve had to deal with in their lives so far.

the UK’s energy market is fundamentally broken. Gas prices are still setting electricity bills even when much of our power comes from cheaper renewables. Over 40 Labour MPs have joined me in writing to the Chancellor, calling for an end to this outdated system. (1/2)

Despite promising to tell users before giving their data to law enforcement, Google handed Amandla Thomas-Johnson's data to ICE in 2025 without giving him the chance to challenge the government's invalid subpoena. We're urging the AGs of CA and NY to investigate Google for deceptive trade practices.

I’ve been working with students from SGS College to explore how their artwork could transform empty windows into vibrant displays. Instead of dark and unused spaces, we could showcase local creativity and create a more positive impression for shoppers and potential new business owners. (2/3)

I think it is OUTRAGEOUS that people are LEAPING to the conclusion that some our post prominent Americans are child rapists when it is EQUALLY PLAUSIBLE that they are simply indifferent to whether other people are child rapists so long as those other people can offer them access to power.

Every call, every email, every little yellow rubber duck, every person in the street makes a difference. People power works. We need to hold our officials accountable, including RFK Jr. His mismanagement and negligence is going to cost lives now and in the future. Take Action! tr.ee/impeach-email

"We'll take our stand for this land & the stranger in our midst..." Powerful. Brutal. Inspirational. A loving tribute to Renée Good, Alex Pretti & the good people of Minneapolis. Plus, it name-checks all the villains: the Puppy Killer🐶, Pee-Wee German🇩🇪, the Orange Atrocity🍊💩 & above all: ICE🧊🚫 1/

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Where is our national press? The government has been shooting at and harassing clergy for months. This used to be a red line. The reality is their red line moved, not yours. They’re cowards.

Mother Jones@motherjones.com

ICE attacked an observer after they tailed a group of clergy on a spiritual pilgrimage. Our digital producer @sam.vp just so happened to be with the clergy on their journey. He spoke with the observer who was attacked and others who witnessed the assault.

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”

The fact is no presenter has ever had to leave the BBC for expressing conservative views, or even explicitly endorsing a right-wing party. Was never a problem for Jeremy Clarkson. Was never a problem for Andrew Neil. Was never a problem for Alan Sugar

Robin Ince reveals to last night’s audience at a recording of Infinite Monkey Cage that the BBC has forced him to resign over his support of trans people

Shame on on the BBC. Their remit is to inform, educate, and entertain. Robin has been doing all 3 for 16 years, but apparently caring about a marginalised community upsets Robbie Gibb enough to have to remove him.

Robin Ince@robinince.bsky.social

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Day 155 of showing the internet that (jumping) spiders aren't scary 😦 They jump using hydraulic pressure! Their bodies rapidly increase the pressure in their legs, launching them forward with incredible force, sometimes reaching 6x their body length 😅 #jumpingspider #spiderfacts

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.
