I have read Joshua Bonehill-Paine’s blogpost from April entitled “Inside the Mind of an Antisemite -and How I Escaped It”. It’s a fascinating account of being consumed by hateful, extremist ideology. You know what’s not in there? An apology. To Luciana Berger or the wider Jewish community
What a repulsive man. I had eye problems. Everything from routine cataract surgery and laser work for retinopathy in both eyes, to a vitrectomy. Some of the surgeons and nurses didn't have flawless English. But as they were busy saving my eyesight, it would have seemed churlish to whine about it...

Palantir is shifting profits from its European operations to the U.S., allowing the Florida-based data analytics giant to pay minimal taxes in Europe, a new report finds.
Palantir funnels earnings to US to avoid European taxes, report finds
A new study finds that Palantir, which boasts of high profit margins in the U.S., barely scrapes a margin in Europe, which helps slash its tax bill.

The post with the baseless claim regarding tabulation came from threads (i am mistaken below thinking the twitter was the source) and the musk post is a screenshot with no date/real info no evidence it exists) The account is a pretty pervasive spreader of disinformation bsky.app/profile/r5-t...

BREAKING: Parliamentary standards commissioner is now investigating Reform UK’s Deputy Leader Richard Tice (as well as its paused investigation into Nigel Farage). Tice is being investigated for allegedly failing to declare a financial interest.
Don't people get sent to prison for this sort of thing? Why is Farage's fiancier so immune to punishment for these felonies?
Josiah Mortimer@josiahmortimer.bsky.social · 2d ago"[Byline] revealed that Cottrell entered corporate finance under a false Swiss identity, hired by the same City network that produced Reform UK’s own treasurer, Mehrtash A’zami. "Byline Times has since confirmed that this identity was stolen from a real person – Cottrell’s old school friend."
Nigel Farage just took a question from a 'journalist' at his press conference, who turned out to be his former chief adviser Raheem Kassam, who asks him why the media are being so unfair to him
We aren't playing this "security" game, they should not enjoy the presumption of regularity in anything. Either Trump screwed up and gave the impression of agreeing to something he shouldn't have, or they are backtracking. Both are bad. And they are screwing up basic diplomacy on Main.
WarTranslated (Dmitri)@wartranslated.bsky.social · 3d agoUS Congressman Turner says transferring Patriot tech to Ukraine is still being discussed but would be "very, very difficult" to implement.

Morocco instigated the Ceuta crisis to hit Sánchez for his energy deal with arch-enemy Algeria (over the Western Sahara). Meloni seized the opportunity to hit Sánchez as well. Few remember that Meloni is a supporter of the Sahrawi cause and visited refugee camps in Algeria twice in the early 2000s.
There's a giant spider in the Waterloo Millennium Green opposite the Old Vic theatre.
Predictably, the Kremlin’s disinformation ecosystem wasted no time in baselessly suggesting that the missile that hit Poland was Ukrainian. This claim is false. The investigation carried out by Polish authorities has determined that the missile was a Russian Kh-101 cruise missile.
