Instead of telling the pope how to do his job, JD Vance shoukd be telling his boss how to do his job. But I guess Vance thinks he’s more knowledgeable about theology than he is about governing.

No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

Orbán is out! He has conceded defeat. May it be a harbinger for corrupt haters of democracy and the needs of the people like Donald Trump.

Big problem: Repubs don’t give a 💩 about the American people. They haven’t for a very long time. They care about power, money, & the control of all of it. Think about it - if they cared about us, we would’ve had universal healthcare long ago, instead of paying for Israel’s healthcare for decades.

It's not complicated. UKGovPlc picks up the cost of catastrophic damage hedge and private equity backed profit seeking SPVs do by running REAL businesses into the ground making REAL WORKERS redundant by aggressive asset stripping and offshoring social capital. A disaster WE MUST FIX TOGETHER

They're all, these bloated hubristic Ai behemoths, headed up by emotionally dysfunctional, power crazed, malignantly narcissistic sociopath man baby toddlers each of them believing they're the saviours of human civilisation.

After Trump's cabal they're the most dangerously deluded men on the planet

Britain breaks solar energy record twice as UK’s biggest solar farm gets approval Record high set on Monday and raised on Tuesday, with 14.4GW of electricity generated in sunny spring weather

A single line in this piece just made my day:

“The electricity system operator is understood to be preparing to run the grid without any gas for short periods as soon as this summer, in a first for the UK energy system.”

Renewables *work*. And progress matters🎉

THE ASSET CLASS, my first book, will be published by @wnbooks.bsky.social on 9 April 2026. It’s a narrative investigation of private equity, a secretive and relentlessly destructive wing of finance that penetrates almost every aspect of our lives - and it’s available to pre-order now!

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress beforehand, or our allies, or coherently explain to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

Donald Trump Needs to Be Removed He is becoming increasingly dangerous and unable to perform the duties of his office, requiring the invocation of the 25th Amendment
