Also this guy says 'I have one question' and then asks two questions, so maybe his basic cognitive abilities have significantly atrophied.

I have one answer.

FFS we cannot keep doing this… A handful of the richest people hoovering up wealth from everyone else while quite literally making the planet unlivable At what point does someone grow a fucking spine and do something?!

This sounds like something drafted by an AI wargame, which typically escalates to the use of nuclear weapons... www.livescience.com/technology/a...

AI war games almost always escalate to nuclear strikes, simulation shows

A new study reveals that AI decision-making during conflicts is naturally prone to escalation.

Under Badenoch’s approach (to life generally) if you go to a casino and net £10k at the roulette table but then lose £11k at poker you can still claim “I won £10k”. It’s so hard to know whether she truly believes anything she says

The Brazilian version seems more believable to me. The US has no business interfering in the elections of foreign democracies. Because a rich troglodyte bought the 2024 US election for a demented narcissistic phatphuk doesn't mean a free ticket to do it elsewhere. bbc.com/news/article...

Mass Lobby for Trans Equality - 9th September 2026

The law around trans equality is fundamentally broken. Government inaction is hanging trans people and organisations out to dry - with a confusing mess of challenging rules and lawfare.

It's the end of Reform as we know it

Palantir’s EU tax tricks exposed as unions demand tougher rules on public contracts

Palantir’s EU tax tricks exposed as unions demand tougher rules on public contracts

Throught data, defence and AI, Palantir is worth €278bn. They owe the EU €12m in taxes, but member states keep indulge the multi-national's monopoly of public procurement contracts. That seems to be changing.

Burnham considering public inquiry into UK activities of Jeffrey Epstein

I can’t believe we’re still having a debate about whether there’s a trade off between job creation and measures to green the economy. There isn’t. The evidence was clear years ago - a green economy creates far more jobs than the fossil fuel economy it replaces. Come on Labour, catch up …

And we fund those mines too, every time we use a generative AI or buy a new smartphone.

Today's reminder that the current genAI boom is powered by GPUs manufactured with a mineral called coltan (and other rare earths, and cobalt) mined through the labor of enslaved children in Congo, and the US and UAE fund the paramilitaries which protect those mines and keep those children enslaved.

So far. Today. It’s like listening to a stroppy child inventing ever more outlandish excuses for doing or saying something they know deep down is foolish or wrong, but they won’t give in.

Here are the stupidest things Kemi Badenoch has said so far today inews.co.uk/opinion/kemi...

Daaaamn. “AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage." www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...

Anyone thinking a man like that can be reformed is as delusional as those advocating for gay conversion therapy.

I know she's incapable of ever admitting she's wrong about anything, but even I'm surprised that Kemi Badenoch has chosen this particular hill to die on

“I can call [the climate crisis] out as a political leader, but you [the media] also has a role to play... the contrast between how much we hear about whatever Nigel Farage or Reform want to talk about versus how little we hear about the climate and nature crisis is pretty glaring.” Quite.

Yesterday, I saw this & checked the numbers. They're almost right. According to Forbes, there are 902 billionaires in the US, but 49 indeed made their money from private healthcare. The dots just moved closer to each other.

To all my trans siblings in the UK. May you find the resilience to defy and the unity to succeed in your defiance. Piss freely, piss righteously, piss honourably.

To my cisgender siblings in the UK: today is segregation day. Help in every way you possibly can. Do not ignore this. Fight the transphobes in every venue, in every arena, in every situation.

The military accidentally killed a medevac crew this year, and hardly anyone is talking about it. New Wired reporting says a medevac plane lost GPS during an Army jamming exercise near White Sands. In low visibility, it struck a mountain, killing all four aboard. #SheShed 🧵
