I hate it when that happens

Sharon Osbourne attending a Tommy Robinson march proves Kneecap were right about her.

Fuck Sharon Osbourne

Today is the #InternationalDayofPeasantsStruggle, a reminder of the ongoing fight for land, dignity, and justice in rural areas worldwide. From massacres like 1996 in Eldorado dos Carajás to present-day violence and displacement, peasants continue to face brutal repression.

Looking forward to this

Sorry but it is genuinely creepy that this (engaged,36yearold) guy spends his time getting angry that Gen Z women are "intolerant" for not wanting to date someone who supports a sexually abusive, racist misogynist who is destroying the fucking world and making it more expensive to live as we speak

Young women these days won’t even go out with you if you vocally support someone who’s on tape bragging about sexually assaulting young women, because of woke.

Yeah, Mackenzie Scott is a fascinating case. She is literally ignoring the SOPs of philanthropy in order to give away wealth as quickly and efficiently as possible and she’s still getting richer. At her level it is impossible not to make money. Tax billionaires, A LOT.

IMPORTANT: Under federal law, it's very hard, at times near-impossible, to sue federal law enforcement officers for civil rights violations. But legal theorists have said for decades that there is a possible way to sue under state law instead.

This is a VERY big test case.

Came here to say something about a certain other meglomaniac and the Strait of Hormuz

If a partner says “I need to see other people.” You end the relationship.

If a partner says “I’m going to kill a person.” You end the relationship.

Even if they don’t do it.

If your president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” You end the relationship.

Even if he doesn’t do it.

For a long time I've said that if I was given a time machine, a gun with one bullet, and immunity, the young Thiel is who I'd take out

“Some responses to the fossil fuel crisis – incredibly – argue for doubling-down on the cause of the problem and slowing the shift to renewable energy. Even though it is clearly cheaper, safer, and faster to market. This is completely delusional.”

so for me the oddest part of the process, when those red flags were raised by the (adequate looking) due diligence was that Starmer did not ask the Cabinet Secretary to quiz Mandelson but left it to friendly political aides. His duff choice of process which he should have been warned about.

They're bad at messaging this because stuff blowing up gets them so hard they can't fathom how anyone could have any questions left after seeing footage of it.

Like a broke dad who leases a $300k Ferrari and doesn't understand why the kids keep asking how he'll pay for it despite hearing it rev.

You spelt Epstein Fury wrong

Inside the Department of War are two wolves:

"We've shut down the Colleges of War because book learnings are woke, gay, and irrelevant to war fighting."

"How come no one told us the Strait is important, there are different kinds of Kurds, Iran is big, and air power historically doesn't win wars?"

I remain baffled by how the vast majority of commentators keep ascribing reasoning and decision making to Trump that he clearly does not possess.

Simply because it’s inconceivable to them the US President is dumber than dogshit.

Populism: take an existing, usually complex, problem, propose a simplistic solution that a) sounds plausible to ignorant masses but actually make the problem worse, and b) blame a ‘them’ to stir polarisation.

The blight on our times.

Dmitry, on the nose as ever

"This is not endless war, this is not nation building."

No one in 2001/2003 was pitching "Endless War" either. Bush literally flew a "Mission Accomplished" banner.

The US only wanted to do "Nation Building" because it knew just killing the Taliban Leadership/Saddam wouldn't fix anything. Hmmm!

Keir Starmer repeats argument on Mandelson that "the process was followed" but "process wasn't strong enough"

ignoring the fact that this was political appointment and political judgment

and it related to someone with a chequered history re resignations, unsavoury friendships and lobbying firm

I've covered big wars and little wars. Ones that have been well organised (thought some ultimately not very successful) and shit shows. My jaw is still on the floor that a military as powerful and professional as the US is in such utterly chaotic territory. This isn't mission creep ...

Every kid in this photo is dead.
They weren’t fighters. They were schoolkids from Minab, Iran.

Trump. Netanyahu.

The Metropolitan Police is saying it will use an "unprecedented River Thames strategy" with the river as a "physical divide" to keep this weekend's Al Quds rally and counter protesters apart. This is pure propaganda in support of this week's ban on the pro-Palestine march www.itv.com/news/london/...

"He's a decent man doing a difficult job..."

No. He's not.

Public procurement should be boring, not telling about broad and deep failures of public policy.

This is the way.

I hate how math is forced to continuously justify itself by its uses and it can't just be allowed to stand on its own.

Humans have done art for thousands of years because that's what humans do. It's the same with math. Humans reason about pretend things that don't matter, and that's okay.

The nature of human rights is that they apply to, you know, all humans

- AI training isn’t ‘learning’ and shouldn’t be treated as such

The House of Lords has been absolutely consistent on this, and they are totally right. Will the government listen?
