Is there any chance we get to see Musk in UK cinemas? Or failing that anywhere on streaming? Haven’t seen anything about a confirmed UK release yet

Two fantastic election results overnight! Wasn’t expecting either. Let’s hope the midterms next week are similarly seismic

Any government espousing the power of AI either doesn’t properly understand the economics of AI or has already paid too much in contracts to the lies of Palantir. That the UK government has so clearly drunk the Kool Aid on this should worry us all

There should be no billionaires. Or people who think the people who think there should be no billionaires exhibit “the politics of envy”

Moyes’ attitude to subs is they are an afterthought (almost an admission that he was wrong) to his original team selection rather than an essential weapon to change games

Happy new Olivia Tremor Control album day everyone! That it exists at all is amazing enough. But it’s an excellent record. As befitting as it is poignant

North Sea oil go ahead won’t make our bills cheaper, so it’s simply a sop to lobbying. No benefit at all aside from a tiny number of jobs & to Shell’s bottom line. Yet again government takes the option that shows other countries we are not serious about net zero. It’s another test Burnham has failed

The far right are by definition “anti human” because they embrace the idea that empathy is weakness as opposed to a common trait we can recognise each others humanity by. A world free of empathy would not be human!

President Traitor is a name that should stick

THIS 👇 TOO......

Pope Leo has lung cancer yet Trump Putin and Netanyahu still walk amongst us. Make it make sense

A timely re run and a thorough dissection of (alleged) serial sex offender, former junkie cum revolutionary dandy, husband of Katy Perry cum born again Christian grifter goblin-sprite Russell Brand on @originstorypodcast.bsky.social with @dorianlynskey.bsky.social and @iandunt.bsky.social Listen!

It’s time to assemble the Bluecrew with pack 106 from my friend @fireeyebooks.bsky.social

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Well, well, well...

Leaving us with Barry as the only striker is utter, utter negligence from the management

The motion was flawed, politically naive, offensive to British Jews and very likely only forced over the line by votes from entryists. HOWEVER the relentless stream of mainstream commentators piling on to Polanski yesterday is not solely motivated by “Zionism is racism”.Knives were being sharpened

💙💛💯🇺🇦

300,000 tons isn’t even a day of diesel, lol.

Zelenskyy blasts Trump-Putin energy deal: "Gifts to Putin will not bring peace or any benefit to the civilised world. Russia will 'repay' the diesel with further terror and perfidy. Allowing Russia to sell petroleum products is an investment in a war that must be ended, not prolonged."

The predictable “Polanski is over” commentary this morning reveals more about the writer’s attitude to the motion on Zionism than it does about the bye election result’s actual impact on the leadership situation, in my view

My vision; A crash, big tech dies and the only real losers are the billionaires- causing the rest of humanity to do an entire course correct on our current mode of capitalism. Attendant to that all disseminators of disinformation are de monetised (ie the complete opposite of what happens now)

My god this Gilla Band album might be my favourite “difficult” record in ages. Really gets under your skin if you’re prepared to crack its initially off putting outer shell

Must say I didn’t have “encouraging Iran to bomb blue state cities” on my Trump bingo card

Doing the 9 albums thing

There’s no point in calling a rejoin referendum until 75% are pro, the anti disinformation department delivers results and you’ve banned mega donations/dark money/crypto

Have you heard of 1789 Capital? The venture capital firm founded by Don Jr? They obtained a stake in a small company named Vulcan Elements-and quickly got a $620 million deal from the Pentagon Why? “The call came from the White House: We have to get this done” #PaytoPlayPresident

Open AI is losing money hand over fist. So is Anthropic. The emperor truly has no clothes. That is the real reason they are delaying new model releases and IPOs. Nothing to do with safety concerns.

Between @peterjukes.bsky.social reporting for @bylinetimes.bsky.social and @gilduran.com excellent The Nerd Reich I’m starting to get a handle on Peter Thiel’s techno fascist influence network and how its tendrils have infected the UK via Cambridge Uni- James Orr-Reform and beyond. Vital writing!

To be clear the job losses are cased by CEO AI investment derangement syndrome

Am in tears listening to the Glastonbury ‘94 version of “Are We Here” from the newly released Orbital recording of that seminal appearance. Sadly it came one year too early for my own Glasto -going. Very envious of anyone who witnessed it and this awe inspiring tune. “What does god say?” indeed!

Private Eeuity and Ventire Capital should both be illegal

For a righteous, bloodied but unbowed style post punk take on life in Trump’s U.S in 2026 I can highly recommend the new protomartyr album. For a completely fucked up Wolf Eyes go IDM take on post punk in 2026 I can highly recommend the new Gilla Band. Both are excellent, in their own ways

Meta-Muse is a neat encapsulation of everything that’s wrong with big tech, from the idea that an an AI could be your companion to the banality of making it ‘cute’right through to Matt Bellamy just giving up 20 years worth of social handles to enable its incorrectly chosen name. The era of stupid

Okay, well, here it is again then:

SCOTUS’s decision on the SAVE database was wrong, but unlikely to have significant immediate impact You should still vote w/ confidence! If MAGA officials try to illegally remove voters, we'll see them in court More in my weekly column @ContrarianNews.org 👇 -TN

🚨BREAKING: In a dangerous decision for voters, the Supreme Court authorized the Trump administration to overhaul a federal immigration database into a vast, centralized and deeply flawed database of personal information to initiate registration purges. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Am I the only one who thought of David Brent when I saw this? Anyway, what a massive snowflake

Actress Susan Sarandon being arrested earlier today for protesting Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the United Nations. One is speaking out against genocide, one is committing it. One was arrested, one was not.

The only reason to oppose measures that would expose Russian disinformation is if you benefit from the disinformation

The new Jon Ronson book, The Castle, is a compelling, insightful, bizarre and and at times hugely poignant examination of men in the context of online influencers and the socio-economic and institutional failings that pushed them there. A vital read!

Happy 35th to this treasure. 1991 was a banner year for great albums but this one in particular was truly seminal for me. Still got the T Shirt as well!

If we’re re branding AI now why not rebrand Crypto whilst we’re at it? My vote goes to Pseudo

American AI being rebranded SI is actually perfect as long as the S stands for “stupid” - advertises the economic illiteracy at its heart, at least!

If only there was a media ban on broadcasting RFK’s voice!

I’m willing to bet the main reason no other triumphal arch that’s also a weapons stash and sniper tower exists is because of the intense interest it would draw as a security risk/target
