I’ve just watched the first two episodes of East of Eden. It’s very good. I am now a big fan of Florence Pugh.

In 2022, I wrote @thenation.com that #Brazil's president #Lula was the most important person on the planet confronting the climate emergency. I'm still right. If he loses, the rainforest will start burning again. @greggrandin.bsky.social @billmckibben.bsky.social www.thenation.com/article/envi...

Everyone keeps saying that Man City fans shouldn’t be punished for the club’s owners’ actions, but “the Poznan” alone is grounds for forced relegation at the very least.

Premier League News@plnews.bsky.social · 5d agoManchester City will attempt to prove their innocence by arguing that the government of Abu Dhabi part-funded sponsorship deals, rather than the club’s owners Abu Dhabi United Group - a private company owned by Sheikh Mansour - and as such, no rules were broken.

To think there are still people out there talking about "targeted strikes" and "minimising civilian casualties". This is no different to what Russia has done in Eastern Ukraine.

Spending two days in a hot, stormy and extremely humid in Barcelona (my very least favourite Spanish city) for a meeting that was cancelled is not a great start to the week.
In three seasons Manchester City won the Premier League, 2011-12, 2013-14 and 2017-18, they recorded £360million in commercial income from Abu Dhabi-based sponsors The independent commission found that just £43m of that was actually paid to City by those sponsors

Millionaires who breathlessly announce that they are leaving the country because a social policy subject risks mildly inconveniencing them should never be allowed back over the border.
DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

In a wage-theft settlement, DoorDash now has to pay its workers around 100 times what it spent trying to beat Zohran Mam

I think once black clad men are interfering with rescues at sea, we are past "legitimate concerns". Once they're attacking boats, and risking the lives of everyone on board, it's just thuggery. The Home Secretary's statement is on the side of criminals. There's no other way to read it.
Happy 100th Birthday John Coltrane! "[We] shared a lot of the same beliefs and aspirations and hopes and joys about the things that music could do—change the world and all of these things... we were kindred spirits in many ways." –S.R. (to Bret Primack) youtu.be/3MkUvZUTFUc?...

Great to hear the PM say “We are going to be much prouder in standing up for our values and the rule of law” re foreign information warfare. I wonder if he or the Home Secretary might consider doing the same when it comes to masked vigilantes shutting down infrastructure and harassing the RNLI
Maybe we should have arrested this guy for blocking ports.

Two lifeboat personnel tried to secure the empty dinghy. Thomas yelled abuse and knifed the dinghy to deflate it - with a rescuer still on board.
Time to arrest this guy and charge him.

The complete and total collapse of state function in the face of far right extremists. It is frankly ludicrous that Daniel Thomas continues to be at large given the series of crimes committed which he has literally filmed.
Emma Yeomans@yeomans.bsky.social · 2w agoWorrying scenes in the Channel today, for all interested in asylum policy and maritime tactics. A small boat from Normandy spent more than 30 hours at sea. Those on board now on their 2nd rescue vessel as Border Force forced to play cat and mouse with far-right activists who have their own boat.
It's incredible to live in this country where the 6th largest military budget needs to be inflated to insane numbers, but one of the weakest state pensions in Europe is an unaffordable excess.
