In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
Peak mainstreaming:
A so-called festival of philosophy with all the most reactionary speakers the UK has to offer fooling some left-wing speakers into thinking this is a debate rather than a way to make their extreme ideas seem part of the conversation...

James Bembridge on X: Hate is too weak a word for what I feel towards the NHS. I'd tear it down and salt the earth upon which it stood.
Lovely people, these Reform UK candidates for the upcoming election, and great to know they're on our side.
A lot of people are quick to say they *can't* give up Amazon.
Okay, don't.
Just don't make it your default. That thing you threw in your basket that you can get elsewhere? Get it elsewhere.
If everyone still buying from Amazon reduced their spending by 20%, Bezos would be screaming bloody murder
What a colossal waste of police time and resources - and a waste of court time too further down the line.

This is a really important thread on the dangerous misinformation circulating around through AI summaries, which I’ve now been tracking for months. (Also just for the sheer vitriol, when I was typing this post and had typed dangerous m… predictive text suggested “dangerous Muslims”.
FBI agent Denise played by David Duchovny and Dale Cooper, played by Kyle Maclachlan, Twin Peaks 1990
David Duchovny played a transgender woman, Denise, on Twin Peaks in 1990 and when greeting Cooper, the show's protagonist, she says, "I prefer Denise, if you don't mind" and Cooper responds with "OK" and her identity is settled within a couple seconds and was a non-issue, 36 years ago.

Post from the head of the AFT: No matter how you feel about AI, its use is growing more widespread and it's important that educators understand how they could integrate it as a tool in their classrooms. Hear from three educators who have been experimenting with AI in this American Educator article ⬇️ http://aft.org/ae/spring2026/leonard_siebenmark_venagro
The opening sentence: "Whether you find AI exciting or frightening, its widespread use—including among students—means we all need to learn how to interact with it responsibly" is so obviously terrible on a pedagogical, political, psychological and basic human level. The @aft.org should be ashamed.
Been hard to keep track with the replies but we've raised over $3k for trans youth today from the Benjamin Ryan youth transition fund.
$80 of that just came from times he tweeted about me today.
Of course he isn’t. The ICC, ICJ and other international organisations, were never designed to hold western nations or leaders accountable for their war crimes.
Environment Agency uncovered over 3,000 breaches of pollution laws in a year by England water companies.
Companies have more than 1200 criminal prosecutions
None had licence cancelled.
No exec prosecuted.
Companies negotiate fines.
Fines waived or deferred.
Any pressure points for better conduct?
Give us what we want or else.
JP Morgan, with net income of $57.05bn in 2025, demands £1bn to £1.6bn cut in business rates as a condition of investing in the UK.
Govt to capitulate. How will it resist other corporations?

Guardian's Patrick Wintour writes: "The Houthis, a Shia sect with a deep hatred of Israel..." – like a truculent 14-year-old.
Guardian would never print "Israel, a Jewish state with a deep hatred of Yemen..." because it's antisemitic!!!

Keir Starmer has dragged the UK into this war against our will.
UK bases face further attacks - putting military personnel and civilians in the potential line of fire.
This is a Prime Minister who promised a vote before any military action - that must now happen on Monday.
That is obscene
Just remember: the hateful claims made against Muslims today were previously made against Jews (and often still are). Sometimes word-for-word. Same hate, different targets. We all stand together against hatred, or we will be picked off one by one.
I just had lunch with a source and we realized there was a table of fired radio guys next to us. I told them I didn't think Bari deserved the right to email them and tell them anything about their jobs. I also promised to keep giving her hell on social media. This was appreciated.
The UK has approved US use of British bases to strike Iranian sites threatening ships in the Strait of Hormuz, expanding earlier permission limited to defensive actions.
