The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil.

It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.

Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.

I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).

So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

Netanyahu claimed last week that Magyar invited him to Hungary.

Today Magyar said that Netanyahu will be arrested if he enters Hungary:

“I made it clear to the Israeli PM — we will not back down... If a state is an ICC member and a person who is wanted enters that territory, they must be detained”

Peter Thiel: UK leaders have 'secret agreement' to talk up culture wars Oxford Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer have a “secret agreement” to talk about the culture wars as much as possible, Peter Thiel has said.  Speaking at the Sheldonian Theatre at Oxford as part of the Scr...

6/ Per UnHerd, Thiel claimed that the most significant loss in contemporary society is God & religion & proposed “Christian democracy” as a possible alternative to fascism and communism. (I wonder if the ideas pushed by Doug Wilson & Pete Hegseth,
meet Thiel’s definition of “Christian democracy.”)

Putin’s megaphone: Orbán’s far-right push into UK universities is fuelled by Russian oil Good Law Project has uncovered a network funded by Hungary’s authoritarian leader Viktor Orbán, that uses profits from refining Russian oil to platform far right and anti-trans campaigners in the UK

“Good Law Project can reveal that the Roger Scruton Legacy Foundation (RSLF) has received…more than 90% of its funding – from Mathias Corvinus Collegium (MCC) since 2023. This private college based in Budapest has close ties to Hungary’s [former] …prime minister, Viktor Orbán.”

It is exhausting. People just want to get on with their lives. One of my bigger concerns is why this "exclusive " now, and to what extent has the relationship between the Guardian's political editor and the head of comms at the FO influenced both the timing and the fact of the scoop. Who benefits?

There needs to be forthright condemnation of Stonewall's new chair'svsucking up to Rowling from her predecessors and a majority of the organisation's leading figures. This betrayal of trans people is utterly unforgivable cowardice.

The UK needs data sovereignty. Palantir should not be shaping the future of the NHS.

When doctors and @unison.org.uk raise concerns, government must listen.

We need to cut this relationship and build a system based on ethics, values, transparency and data sovereignty.

Maya Forstater Congratulations Kezia Dugdale. I hope we can have discussions.

Kezia Dugdale has thrown trans people under a bus, and made cishet people who are Anti-LGBTQ+ very happy.

This is on the FB Stonewall page.

Farcical.

Meme that shows a skeleton lifting weights, with the format: "my body is a machine that turns blank into blank" I've edited it so it says "my patch birding obsession is a machine that turns middling urban parks into hotspots loaded with rare bird reports"

Meme that shows a skeleton lifting weights, with the format: "my body is a machine that turns blank into blank" I've edited it so it says "my patch birding obsession is a machine that turns middling urban parks into hotspots loaded with rare bird reports"

When I moved to the edge of a 0.4 acre urban park, my goal was getting the eBird hotspot to 100 species (up from 92). It took me a few months, but the park's now at 112 species and I've personally seen 102 of them.
