The little holes in your bread are telling you something

How a Hertfordshire research lab quietly transformed an iconic British staple food, and the complexion of the countryside - without anyone actually noticing

Good stuff from @phillipspobrien.bsky.social. Cover versions of I. Kant (1784) "Beantwortung der Frage: Was ist Aufklärung?" will continue until the message gets through.

Hi All, latest piece. It’s about a grand strategy for European states. The 1st step is to stop listening to the Washington official voice, which has spent the last years (wittingly or not) deceiving Europeans about reality. Think for yourselves! phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/a-grand-st...

🚨🚨There is seemingly now a clear trend of #Russia directly attacking European nations as a spillover from their illegitimate invasion of #Ukraine. Whilst technically Europe is not at war with Russia these attacks is a part of a larger strategy from #Putin. 🧵 www.politico.eu/article/pola...

Moscow likely behind drone-factory arson, says Poland’s Tusk

The incident comes amid an intensification of suspected Russian attacks targeting facilities linked to military production supporting Ukraine.

Just in time for the 2026-2027 vaccines, a new review shows that COVID19 vaccination significantly reduces the risk of severe illness and hospitalization across all age groups, including kids. Pregnant women were also protected, as were their babies. Don’t forget to schedule your vaccination!

Though it is worth noting that Bardella's cameo at the Reform Party conference is not going down well with French right wing social media, where committing to British political needs is not a high priority

The BBC — that hotbed of evil cultural elites — has already decided it's 'scurdammoce 'o passato' time when it comes to Reform. Let's just turn the page then, & make sure the political agenda is again dominated by small boats Just like last week, & the one before that. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Very good overview of the UK-EU Gibraltar agreement (which has been provisonally in force since mid-July, and is effectively the last part of the original Brexit negotiations), by James Trinidad for @ukandeu.bsky.social published today: ukandeu.ac.uk/a-new-europe...

A new European chapter for Gibraltar - UK in a changing Europe

Jamie Trinidad KC explains how the implementation of the UK-EU Agreement in respect of Gibraltar agreed by the UK and EU will affect both Gibraltar and Spain and the border between the two.

"I don't think Nigel has broken the law. He wants to be Prime Minister! He's not going to do that..." Reform UK supporters share their unwavering support for Nigel Farage with 'thick reporter' Lewis Goodall. Is Farage really "better" than every other UK politician?

Plus this 'agreement' seems to imply that Reform's policy of just the other week, to simply get the Royal Navy to send the boats back to France was ... totally unrealistic.

Chris Grey@chrisgrey.bsky.social · 19h ago

I love the caption "The pair showed off their agreement", which is a perfect encapsulation of performative politics. (The 'agreement' being the Memorandum of Understanding between Reform and RN to 'stop the boats')

Much talk in Reform circles today about an unfair 'Establishment' stitch-up of a 'newcomer party', but the C4 'sting' is actually remarkably similar to the C4/ Times expose of Labour's Steve 'cab for hire' Byers in 2010 (much to Farage/ UKIP's glee, IIRC): www.theguardian.com/politics/201...

“We could do tremendous good for ourselves by just not trading with countries” — Trump’s bonkers view of trade is that you become wealthy by not engaging in commerce

NEW: We filed a brief supporting a Minnesota journalist's lawsuit against the Federal Aviation Administration for banning drones over ICE vehicles, effectively blocking aerial footage of immigration raids. The First Amendment protects our right to record ICE activity — including from the sky.

A federal magistrate judge ruled that the Trump administration must identify the people who came up with the idea for a now-defunct $1.8 billion fund to compensate those who claim they were unfairly investigated by the Justice Department.

Judge orders DOJ to disclose who conceived of now-defunct payout fund

The Trump administration dropped plans for a fund to compensate people who say they were unfairly prosecuted, but several lawsuits are ongoing.

𝗨𝗻𝗽𝗮𝘆𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 (𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗳𝗹𝘆) - Too many people still hope they can wait out Trumpism for things to return to 'normal'. But the world is past that even if Trump departs after his second term. This isn't just a blip, and instead of hope we need adaptation for survival. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Trumpism doesn’t die with Trump – we need to wake up to the facts

OTD in 1993 The Massandra Accords were signed. Ukraine agreed to hand its nuclear arsenal to Russia. It failed as Ukrainian opposition wanted security assurances that Russia wouldn't ever invade. And as the West has lived up to that, we're not about to see other countries rush to get nukes...

In Engel, Russia, General Nikolai Varpakhovich, who was involved in the bombing of the Ohmatdyt children's hospital in Kyiv, was shot.

In other words, in response to being invited to the G20 in the USA by Donald, we attacked a US owned business. But trump thrives on humiliation.

ZELENSKYY: Today Russians hit Coca-Cola factory with drone. Coca-Cola is such an enemy to them that they decided to destroy it with their Shaheds. This is a clear Russian signal to America. Russians obviously know that this is American enterprise. There will be response from us.

Have trapped Ukraine. They can't respond in kind and bomb Russian intelligence HQ without killing a lot of idiots.

Do not believe anything until the Kremlin denies it™️
