25 years ago today, I finished v1.0 of Greymatter — the software that changed my life in some... mixed ways, changed the web a lil bit, & "came back" to save my home & life in 2022. (I'll share links about that below.) Happy birthday, you silly, scary, life-exploding, bittersweet child o' mine.
I can't type fast enough to handle Zia Yusuf's lies, or Amol Rajan's failure to counter them. #R4Today
A former tabloid journalist lays out the receipts: BBC News are more or less openly campaigning for new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea - under the influence of the billionaire-owned media. 🧵🛢️🍿 Part 1 of 4.
Can we finally get an apology from all the oh so sensible commentators who have spent the past ten years insisting Nigel Farage isn't part of the far-right
Justin Webb #r4today arguing that we must be concerned about asylum seekers being a danger coming from violent regions - having spent 5 minutes excusing 'indigenous' masked rioters who enact a progrom, smash and burn streets and make families flee in terror. Make it make sense.
Discussing the Israel lobby is not antisemitism. Indeed, the Israel lobby and what Jewish Americans think are completely different things.
My reporting finds that sexual violence against Palestinians by Israeli authorities is widespread. I'm grateful to these assault victims for sharing with me the brutality they endured. Whether we're pro-Israel or pro-Palestinian, we should unite in being anti-rape. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/o...

This deserves to be circulated. A former Red Cross staff member got in touch. She testifies about @zackpolanski.bsky.social's role. For transparency: her name is Brea Thibodeau. The whole thing is a desperate smear.
More Jews are marching on pro-Palestinian marches pro rata than any other community. Stop calling opposition to genocide hatred. Listen to the esteemed Rabbi Herschel Gluck, president of the Shomrin in North East London.
A retweet by Zack Polanski is now the main story across every single media outlet. Two days ago, it was revealed that Nigel Farage failed to disclose a £5 million gift from a crypto-billionaire. It gets nowhere near the media attention, for straightforward political reasons.
Almost all of the questions the Today programme put to Nigel Farage this morning were with a right wing framing. Even the question on his plan to import ICE to the UK was about whether it would cost too much
The BBC just helped normalise nuclear extermination. This is insane.
The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.
For whoever needs to hear this I'm the only Jewish person to lead a political party - third largest in the country. The Daily Mail have been & always will be my enemy - they historically supported fascists & continue to do so. I'll take no lectures from them on Antisemitism.
Radio4 #Today is not what it was. “So deep is it embedded in the public life of the nation that the Royal Navy submarines that hold the UK’s nuclear deterrent are advised to listen out for the Today programme as one of the official measures to prove the UK still exists” www.ft.com/content/fc52...
Breaking news: the ‘Today’ programme is broken
The BBC radio show is the perfect illustration of just how unserious we’ve become

Bought this from Jessops, London, sometime in the late 1980’s. The batteries are flat, but I guess it still works. Maybe I will buy some film for it and get a bit nostalgic :) #photography #retro
I have asked the BBC to scrutinise + correct the factually inaccurate claims made by Mr Nigel Farage about why net migration fell in 'Political Thinking with Nick Robinson' Here is the link if you want to do something like this. www.bbc.co.uk/contact/comp...
Decades and the recent 14 years of Tories gave us this crisis over our water and public health. Privatised water firms dumping sewage throughout Britain's rivers and lakes and coastlines. Re-nationalise and clean up our water! #ToriesBrokeBritain #water #bbclaurak #ukpolitics #skynews #r4today

The government's banning of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation was UNLAWFUL, rules the High Court. This is a massive vindication for those who fought Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people - which is facilitated by our government.
