The viral success of the Harris Reel number one prompted me to have another go. Dark atmosphere seems to keep happening, even with cheerful tunes

Pipe Major Donald Trump (right), a member of the American Expedition to Greenland in Antarctica plays for an indifferent penguin (left)

Dept for Homeland Security plumb the depths of ignorance with their latest film splicing one of the best moments from Herzog's Antarctica documentary with film of Trump and the US armed forces, foolishly failing to understand the penguin is 'deranged' and headed for certain death

I never realised 1984 was also a comedy

The WEF audience gave Trump a standing ovation. That is probably the most depressing thing I've ever seen.

What an insult to all the Danish, British, Italian and Polish troops who gave their lives fighting in America's illegal war in Iraq

The Nazis got Leni Riefenstahl and 'Triumph of the Will', we get .... Melania the Movie ... ughhhh

As Trump menaces Greenland, this much is clear: the free world needs a new plan – and inspired leadership | Gordon Brown The idea that the liberal rules-based order can survive his presidency now seems complacent. This is a historic moment – and a time to act, says former UK prime minister Gordon Brown

People keep saying oh no, America has abandoned 'its longstanding championing of the rule of law, human rights, democracy and the territorial integrity of nation states'. Surely they abandoned all that back in 2003, if not before?

This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

On top of everything else, this is the good news everyone was hoping for ....

Boris Johnson claims the world would be 'more stable' under Donald Trump The former prime minister mocked the "global wokerati" for "trembling so violently" at the idea of Trump returning to the White House after he won 51% of the vote at the Iowa caucus on Monday.

Every single thing the Right spewed on Trump should be rammed back down their throats forever.

@davidallengreen.bsky.social I'm unable to reply to your earlier post. I wasn't taking anything out on you, merely expressing how those AI music videos annoy me. It wasn't a criticism aimed personally. I only have a tiny following so I'm sure anything I say vanishes into the ether. I love your posts

I appreciate the sentiment, but this AI bollocks that combines sub scifi/fantasy with cod dark 'ethnic' folk really annoys me. This is actually the world culture the Trump regime is trying to sell us, an AI fantasy land of mediocrity

Yes, I've seen them! There's a madness at large in American culture. It's here too. It will only take one person - Johnson came close

It's a real estate board, the plan is to divvy up the spoils of war under the guise of peace.

Truly terrifying - such a stark demonstration of Trump's ignorance, pettiness vindictiveness and delusion! It's shocking, and all the more so for not being shocking at all. Who expected different. I just wish world 'leaders' would stop treating him like a normal person, it's just enabling him.

Seriously though, most people knew Trump was a psychotic megalomaniac back in 2015. He should never ever have been put in any positions of power let alone the most powerful position on earth - twice. Something is wrong with democracy that this can happen.

'I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace,' warns Trump after being refused Nobel Peace Prize | LBC Donald Trump has sent an extraordinary letter to the Norwegian Prime Minister saying he will focus on “what is good and proper for the United States of America,” after he was not awarded the Nobel pea...

The most petty and deeply ignorant letter in the history of international diplomacy has been delivered.

No one has ever seen anything like it. Everyone says so, they are all saying it.

He was saved from likely getting killed firstly by a black man and then some people stopped for him in a car thinking he was being chased by ICE. One of them was a transgender person. So his life was saved by the people he despises. Who's the Christian now Jake?

Nazi Jake Lang went to Minnesota to incite violence by burning a Koran. Nearly got himself murdered but was saved firstly by a black man and then later by a transwoman in a car. You couldn't make it up
